It's insane, and it's in the name. We are obsessed with hunting and this is our collection of knowledge and stories. The biggest driving factor is whitetail hunting, but we do enjoy duck and turkey hunting. Hosted by Clayton Stone, the MLB's Graham Ashcraft, and Jay Conrad himself, we shed a unique light on this sport that we love. With Clayton having been a producer in the outdoor industry for over a decade, Graham pitching for the Reds, and Jay being a firefighter, you couldn't have 3 more different walks off life coming together to discuss what they all have in common.

032 - Why Aggressive Whitetail Hunters Kill More Deer | w/ Alex Comstock
Alex Comstock started Whitetail DNA as a website in college and built it into a go-to source for serious whitetail hunters, with a podcast, a YouTube channel, and articles in North American Whitetail and Bowhunter. The Minnesota bowhunter chases mature bucks on public and private ground in multiple states, and the CinSanity crew had a great discussion with him. Alex admits November is his toughest month: one buck in the rut in the last decade. That opens up a deep dive into rut tactics PLUS why late season, no matter where you hunt, might be the best time to kill a mature buck, and how snow changes everything. He gets blunt about cell cams too. Most hunters chase pictures way too much. A buck that hit a scrape this morning probably isn't coming back tonight. But when a buck has not shown up in several days and a front is coming, that might be your first real chance to get in front of him, so go. Jay makes the case that aggressive hunters kill more deer because nothing is ever perfect, and Alex weighs in on why so many hunters wait too long. Plus: what AI means for hunting photography and video, scrapes vs. corn piles, mapping ground in North Dakota, door knocking for permission (and why you never show up in full camo), trail cams on public land, the deer that taught him the most, and calling bucks in North Dakota.

Randy also breaks down his evolving “Change I Theory”—a mindset shift that has helped him stay on big deer season after season by adapting, spreading out, and avoiding the common mistakes that educate mature bucks.We also discuss how predator trapping can impact fawn recruitment, why food plots and habitat work matter more than most hunters realize, and what landowners can do to dramatically improve the quality of their deer herd.If you're serious about killing mature whitetails, improving your hunting property, and understanding how big deer actually behave, this episode is packed with hard-earned knowledge and real-world experience.
