Hey, I'm Janice Patelis.

And I'm Jordan Bud.

Jordan and I have spent our lives in the outdoors, both as hunters and professional guys.

And on Meet Eaters newest podcast, Gear Talk, we're taking the ultimate deep dive into the tools and gear we rely on in the field,

seeing the natural season.

We're talking classic, don't leave home without it,

staples, to the cutting edge and outdoor equipment.

Listen to Gear Talk on the iHeart radio app on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast.

Welcome to the Wired to Hunt Foundations Podcast, your guide to the fundamentals of better deer hunting.

And now your host, Tony Peterson.

Welcome to the Wired to Hunt Foundations Podcast, which is brought to you by First Light.

Today's episode is all about how deer really kind of are like rabbits with antlers.

If I have a catchphrase, it's rabbits with antlers.

I say it on podcast all the time, but I also believe it.

I don't think deer are really as mysterious as we like to make them out to be.

And in fact, we've probably demystified the whitetail more than just about any other critter out there,

just through its popularity.

Now I'm not saying they're not fascinating wonderful animals, because I really think they are.

In fact, if you take the Labrador Retriever off the list, I don't know, whitetails are probably my favorite animal.

But they are still kind of like rabbits with antlers, and that's what this whole episode is really about.

Listen folks, I'm going to go in a weird direction with this one at first.

So I ask you just to bear me out for the next couple of minutes, okay?
