In this episode of The Dreaded Archer Podcast, I sit down with Steve Ciasullo, lifelong hunter and founder of Signal 11 Lures, a family-owned American hunting company that’s been perfecting deer lures for over 15 years.
Steve shares his 40+ years of hunting experience, the story behind starting Signal 11, and the “old school” science of making effective lures from glands, oils, and botanicals. We dive into deer behavior, the incredible power of a whitetail’s nose, common mistakes hunters make with scents, and how to use lures to increase your odds in the field.
We also talk about the current state of hunting, balancing tradition with modern technology, and what it means to run a small hunting business in today’s outdoor industry.
Whether you’re a seasoned hunter or just getting started, this episode is packed with tips, insights, and stories that will make you rethink how you approach deer scent and lure strategies.
