About
Welcome back to Chasing Giants Podcast Episode 312.

This week we dive into:

• A 400-acre Western Kentucky property that might produce GIANTS
• A 1,400-acre farm with 200 acres of food plots
• Why Western Kentucky could be a sleeper big-buck state
• The real impact of a one-buck limit
• CWD management and state agency decisions
• The National Deer Association controversy
• Downwind bedding tactics explained
• Coons vs deer crop damage debate
• Burn permits… and common sense

We also discuss:

Why mature bucks travel the downwind edge
How hunting pressure changes buck movement
Public land entry tactics
Why some states are declining in age structure
And what serious land managers need to understand about long-term strategy

If you're serious about whitetail habitat, land management, deer herd health, and honest conversations about the direction of hunting in America — this episode is for you.
