What is going on? Welcome to the Exodus podcast. Today is November 7th and tomorrow is November 8th.

Statistically, these two are the best days to shoot a boot and crocky buck.

And it is also known to be an unpredictable time of year. And we brought in Rendell, who hunts a lot of public. He works with Osseo, and he's a diehard deer hunter. And he shares how he makes the most out of this unpredictable time. So I know a lot of guys late that late, like the late October time frame. but if you have a pulse and you're a deer hunter, you're probably going to be in the woods right now.

And this is how to make the most out of this time frame. I hope you guys really enjoy this episode. We have a lot of new listeners rolling in here.

And when this goes... Kendall, welcome to Exodus podcast. How's it going, man? Pretty good, man. Thanks for having me on.

It's awesome. Yeah, excited. Excited for this. And when this goes live, it's going to be the magical November 7th day. And we were just talking, you have your own opinion on the rut.

But before we dive into all that, tell a little bit about yourself for people who don't know you.

So I'm originally from the South. My dad was a Marine, so I moved around a bunch and moved to Iowa,

pretty much packed up, didn't know anybody, anything, never been here, just showed up,

lived in a campground for like seven months, and then I lived in a dilapidated fifth

wheel camper. This guy I met had for another seven months until I found the apartment. Then I just

started chasing my dream, a hunting giant bucks here in Iowa, and whittled my way into the hunting

industry now full time. Yeah. So that's pretty much me in a nutshell. How many years ago did he move to Iowa? This is my 12th or 13th year here. Okay. Yeah. So your just pure love for White Tails is what brought you there. Yeah. I mean, you can't hunt big bucks if you don't live where they're at.

Were there any other states on your shortlist, or was it just a no-brainer? I'm going to Iowa.

I was looking at Ohio, maybe Kansas, but I felt like you can go to those states anytime.

Yeah. Really. I mean, Kansas has that draw, but it's kind of easy to draw there where Iowa is the hardest

to get into.

Yep. So I figure that'd be the best move. And it's, I'm a country guy. I'm not a city, dude. So Iowa's pretty remote. So that's why I picked here too. I like it. Yeah. I'd be curious how many people have moved to Iowa only for White Tails.

And I think that trend only gets bigger, you know, the more some states decline and how Iowa remains steady.

I try to talk guys into it. So I have some hunting buddies. They've got kids or wives or families. And I'm just like, man, I'd still move.
