In this episode of The Dreaded Archer Podcast, I sit down with Nic, aka Dr. Outdoors, to talk about his journey in the outdoors and the experiences that have shaped him as a hunter and shed hunter. Nic has been passionate about archery since childhood, but after a tough encounter with a mule deer in 2019, he decided to put his bow down. We dive into that moment, what it taught him, and whether he’s considering picking up archery again.
We also discuss the growing popularity of shed hunting and why some states are now requiring permits for it. Nic shares his thoughts on the ethics of shed hunting, how to do it responsibly, and some of his most memorable finds. Additionally, we break down the rise in deer lease scams, how hunters can avoid getting ripped off, and what red flags to watch for when securing hunting land.
Along the way, Nic shares some crazy outdoor stories, insights on public vs. private land hunting, and his thoughts on the future of hunting and conservation. This episode is packed with great conversation, knowledge, and laughs—so tune in for another exciting episode of The Dreaded Archer Podcast!
