Hunt Suburbia Podcast

Tyler Forbes got into hunting just 5 years ago and is the best example of shortening the learning curve by putting in tons of hard work. In just 5 years he's turned into a highly knowledgeable and successful hunter which culminated in him killing a World Class 180+ inch buck this season in a hard state to do so. Seeing proof of a buck jumping from 100 inches to 135, then to possibly 185 is proof of what passing younger deer can lead to. We believe that each person's individual hunting journey is unique and don't advocate for everyone to pass deer in all circumstances...

Jim Levasseur is one of Massachusett's most consistent big buck killers, embodying a passion and never quit attitude that only 1% of hunters employ. To find a really buck in the Northeast and have the determination to put everything you have into hunting him is a rare occasion. In this episode we cover this 3 year pursuit of the buck he calls King of the Hill, as well as discuss buck personalities, learning how to identify them and hunting them based on their personality. I hope you enjoy!

Derek Verville sits down to tell the seven year story of his hunt for a buck named Uno. It is a rare accomplishment to kill a buck that you've had seven years of history with.

We also discuss Derek's origin story as an all-out die-hard mature buck hunter, his strategies that have made him continually successful, and we discuss many other aspects of hunting and life.

John Eberhart is a self-taught hunter and considers that to be one of the main reasons he does things outside the norm. He attributes his success on the very fact that he wasn’t mentored by relatives or friends on old school hunting methods. He learned through trial and error and due to his serious nature, desire to succeed and attention to detail, through the years he’s developed tactics and strategies that have equated to consistent success on mature bucks in heavily pressured areas.
