What's going on?

Welcome back to the Exodus podcast.

This week we have a great episode with Jamie Martin.

We did a podcast with Jamie earlier this year when he acquired the Samayupac,

which is a top three

all-time typical that was shot in Illinois in 1991. And Jamie is a deer fanatic. And this

conversation is a variety of deer behavior based off of his experience of doing photography,

hunting, and naturally the conversation

kind of progressed into the history of White Tales in the modern era. And I asked a question

about are there more top end deer now versus in the past? And he did some additional

fact finding after we recorded.

And here are some really interesting facts that I think you guys will enjoy. So 13 of the top

17 non-typical white tails are from 2000 and on. 30 of the top 50 are also from the 2000s and on so that is pretty illustrative that

for non-tificals we are growing a lot more giant deer and so for typical during the 1990s

for net 200s it is the the most than any other decade.

And there were six.

So six net 200 inch typicals came from the 90s.

And of all time, I want to say there's only like 25 or 26 all time net typicals that

net over 200 inches throughout the history of all white tails. And so the 90s were the best.

The 60s have five, and then the 2000s and on have four. The 1910s, 70s, and 20s have two.

The 80s and 2010s have one each. So it almost seems like there was a 30,

1960s was an incredible decade for that period.
