In this episode, I’m joined by my son Trevor Manley—a Penn State Wildlife & Fisheries Sciences grad—for a deep dive into food sources and feeding behavior for whitetail deer. We cover acorns, browse, soft mast, food plots, and what deer actually eat when food is scarce. We also talk about Trevor’s return to hunting, public land setbacks, and our plan for targeting a giant buck this season.This one’s packed with knowledge from both the classroom and the woods.📌 Topics Covered: • How deer prioritize food sources when acorns fail • What deer eat in early vs late season • Field experience vs scientific studies • Spot setup, scouting, thermals, and real-world bowhunting strategy • Public land challenges (and a guy smoking in Trevor’s setup 🤦‍♂️)READ: Scouting Fall Food Sources for Deer - https://archeryhunting.com/fall-food-sources-for-deer-a-bow-hunters-guide/📸 Don’t forget to enter the Sitka Stratus 2.0 Giveaway — winner announced October 1! - Enter here: https://gleam.io/zbA3l/everyday-bow-hunter-quarterly-giveaway🎯 Subscribe for weekly bowhunting strategy, gear reviews, and no-nonsense insights from a 21-year Veteran and Green Beret turned mobile bowhunter.=============================Exclusive Discounts for You!=============================Asio Gear - Get 20% OFF w/Code: ARCH20 - https://bit.ly/asio20-OFFTrue Timber - Get 10% OFF w/Code: MIKE10 - https://bit.ly/true-timberLatitude Outdoors - Get 10% OFF w/Code: ARCH10 - https://bit.ly/latitude-outdoorsPnuma Outdoors - Get 20% OFF w/Code: MANLEY20 - https://bit.ly/3Tdpag8GhostBlind - Get 5% OFF w/Code: MIKE - https://bit.ly/summitghostblindBlack Rifle Coffee - Get 30% OFF Coffee Subscription w/Code: COFFEE30 - https://bit.ly/3XrohmtMoultrie Mobile - Get 10% OFF w/Code: MKT - https://bit.ly/moultriemobileMy Medic - Get 15% OFF w/Code: TEBH24 - https://bit.ly/mymedickit⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Get "The Everyday Bow Hunter" SWAG Here: https://geni.us/everydaybowhunter-swag
