Predominant wind, barometric pressure, cold fronts, wind speed, sunrise & sun set. We rely heavily on our weather apps during the hunting season to help us determine when and where we want to hunt, what layers we need to wear, and what to expect when we get set up. However, are all weather apps created equal? Should we simply trust the weather app that comes with our phone or simply go to the Weather Channel app? What forecasting model do those basic weather apps use? In today's episode, Jacob shares his top 3 weather apps that he examines closely when preparing for a simple hunt in the evening, or on a long extended trip out of state.

What is a "thermal hub"? What is a "thermal switch"? How do mature whitetail bucks travel differently in the morning vs. the afternoon? And, what implications do these phenomena have in the whitetail woods? On today's episode, Jacob is going to discuss the research that was recently revealed by Derrick Dixon of Whitetail Research and what he found as he observed mature whitetails for all of the 2024 hunting season. Additionally, Jacob will share his perspective on thermals and how he observes them holistically and on a case by case basis in the field. Lastly, Jacob shares his hopes for the 2026 hunting season and the 5 tags he hopes to fill.  Find Hunt Detail on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/hunt_detail/ or  YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@HuntDetail Save 20% on high protein, low sugar fuel for your hunt: https://www.rawrev.com/DETAIL Save 15% on your Re-Lyte electrolyte mix for your hunt:https://glnk.io/oq72y/hunt-detail Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hunting seasons are kicking off and while the heart of the whitetail season is still several weeks away, now is the time to take a hard look at your mobile whitetail gear setup and see if you need to make any last minute updates or changes. In today's episode, Jacob does a gear dump and talks about the mobile / saddle hunting gear he has for this upcoming season, and what he would like to get or "upgrade" to if he were to make changes. In addition to the saddle hunting gear he would like, he discusses gear upgrades that he made last year in order to become more efficient and more quiet in his set up and breakdown. Some of the manufacturers that Jacob discusses are: Tethrd, Hunt Arsenal, Latitude, First Lite, Eberlestock, and several others. Find Hunt Detail on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/hunt_detail/ or  YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@HuntDetail Save 20% on high protein, low sugar fuel for your hunt: https://www.rawrev.com/DETAIL Save 15% on your Re-Lyte electrolyte mix for your hunt:https://glnk.io/oq72y/hunt-detail Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Knife making is both an art and a science. In today's episode, Jacob continues to examine the dynamics of the steel composition of high end knives and the implications of that composition. There are a lot of steels that were created in the 1940's to 1960's (A2 Tool Steel, D2 Tool Steel) that were specific for the manufacturing industry and are still used in high end hunting knives today. But what do knife steels look like as they evolved in the early 2000's and what do knife steels look like now as they evolved in the 2020's. There are often tradeoffs between toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. But is it possible to create a steel that has balance across these 3 knife steel dynamics. And, if so, what options are out there now for those looking for that balance of properties.

If you haven't noticed, there is a new product segment emerging in the hunting knife space. Maybe it's been there all along...but it seems that there are more and more companies branching out and creating high end fixed blade hunting knives. The prices range from $200 to $400. And, while they look amazing, how do we know they are a worthy investment? Aside from the aesthetics, they all sort of seem the same? In today's episode, Jacob begins the deep dive into knife steel and some of the dynamics that come into play with regards to the type of steels that are available and how their composition of carbon, chromium, vanadium and other elements will dictate their toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance.

In today's episode, Jacob will dive into part 2 of the study that was recently shared by James Yates with Western Hunter Magazine. James partnered with Easton, Precision Cut and Black Ovis, to answer some of the lingering questions that he had as it relates to arrow flight and the many variables that can effect that flight (mechanical broadheads, fixed blade broadheads, 3 fletched arrows, 4 fletched arrows, etc.). As we all get ready for the fall hunting season, this data could prove to be helpful in determining some of your set up decisions. In addition to this topic, Jacob shares an update on his own season prep.

If you have ever wondered what arrow vane combination controls broadheads the best, how different are the aerodynamics between a fixed and mechanical broadhead, or does a 4mm arrow shaft really make a difference, then you should be excited to hear that prominent bowhunter, and author, James Yates (Western Bowhunter Magazine) has published the data that he independently gathered while working to answer these and many other questions that bowhunters wrestle with. In today's episode, Jacob is unpacking some of that data and research that James has put forth. In part 1 of this series, Jacob will share which of the 10 mechanical broadheads held groups closest to field points, and how fixed blade broadheads faired in holding groups at 60 yards, as well as other interesting data points.

The availability of offline mapping and the associated tools with hunt map app platforms is arguably the most significant technological change in the hunting space ever. Sure, trail cams and cell cams have made a difference, but everyone who hunts any sort of big game is likely using some sort of hunt map application. In today's episode, Jacob shares some of the updates that he has taken note of over the past year with the 6 top hunt map applications: OnX, HuntWise, GoHunt, Spartan Forge, BaseMap and HuntStand. Some of these brands are clearly well connected with the demographic that they target, while it seems others are not. Some of these brands have made significant jumps within the category, while others seem to have not.
