In this episode of Flippin' Sticks & Throwin' Lead, we dive into some of the biggest controversies in the hunting world. From CWD research and wildlife management to guided hunts, game farms, record books, and conservation funding, nothing is off limits.

We discuss whether Mother Nature is already doing what wildlife agencies are trying to accomplish, how politics and money influence wildlife decisions, and where ethical hunting begins and ends. Along the way, we share personal experiences with CWD testing, thoughts on outfitted hunts, sandhill crane populations, and whether game-farm genetics have changed the future of hunting.

Whether you agree with us or completely disagree, we'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

What do you think?

  • Is CWD being handled correctly?
  • Should guided hunts qualify for record books?
  • Where should we draw the line on game farms and artificial breeding?

Join the conversation below.

This week on Flippin' Sticks & Throwin' Lead, we're back in the studio talking about one of the biggest debates in modern bowhunting: Should archery hunters have to pass a proficiency test before getting a tag?

We dive into what ethical shot distances really look like, why practicing beyond your comfort zone matters, and whether a proficiency standard would improve the hunting community.

We also break down a new food plot experiment where we'll be testing multiple seed brands under identical conditions to see what actually performs best. No marketing hype. Just real-world results.

Plus, we catch up on hunting season preparations, discuss drought conditions and food plots, share a memorable turkey hunting story, and look ahead to upcoming waterfowl events as another Wisconsin hunting season gets closer.

In This Episode:

  • Should bowhunters pass a shooting proficiency test?
  • Ethical shot distances and improving accuracy
  • Food plot seed testing ideas and side-by-side comparisons
  • Hunting season preparation and gear updates

Here’s what we learned from our conversation with Monster Buck Seed! 🦌

Tag someone who needs to up their food plot game!

Starting a food plot can feel overwhelming. We’ve been there, trying to figure out the right seeds and techniques. But here's the insight: it’s all about understanding your land and its needs.

We learned that soil testing is crucial. Knowing your pH levels helps in choosing the right fertilizers and seeds. Don't just throw down what the package says—get to know your ground!

Remember, it's about ROI—return on investment. Are you looking for a trophy buck on your wall? Then make informed choices about your food plots.

Maybe that’s the real lesson: farming for wildlife is just as strategic as farming for crops. You have to think ahead about what will attract deer and keep them coming back.
