About this listen

This is a podcast for the obsessed, and life changing habits needed to take deer with a bow every season! We talk about the techniques that we have used over the last twenty five plus years to take great bucks on film with bows. We will give you information on land layouts, tips like mock scrapes, food plotting, timberstand improvement. Things we have used to take well over two hundred plus deer on film over the years. We came up with this idea to help everyone become a more effective hunter, and to help boost your success in the woods. We are looking forward to helping everyone to have a more fulfilling hunt at every level. Our back ground we have worked in the hunting industry in many levels for over 25yrs. We did the TV thing we worked for Summit treestands on their TV show Summit high place for years. When they sold the company we moved on to our own company RushOutdoorswi, then the Obsession TV which allot of you watched on the hunt channel. Our show The whitetail Obsession was quite popular. When we seen how the decline of the shows at that level was changing, and not representing the everyday hunter we started RushOutdoorswi YouTube channel. A channel for real hunts with well over three hundred hunts it has become quite popular also. We thank all of you for the success. Thank You! We have now been asked to do podcasts on many different aspects of hunting, and to share our 25 plus years each of hunting knowledge to help everyone become a better hunters. We believe that we can help more people become successful at this level, and are excited about this new venture. We are excited to hear your questions, and give you the answers that we believe will help you get the buck of a lifetime!
