- Why grain vs. green food sources matter as temperatures drop
- The role of big food sources and “feeding areas” in pulling deer all winter
- Don’s real-world experience with hairy vetch overseeding and regenerative practices
- Honest conversation about late-season hunting ethics, pressure, and knowing when not to hunt
- A hard look at which states could be producing giant bucks — and why many are failing
