This time, it’s all about kids and deer hunting!

Then, Ray presents a short seminar on whitetail deer hunting. It’s awesome stuff… including the secret to keeping deer moving through your hunting area at midday!...

Would you be surprised to learn that Ray Eye would choose fall turkey hunting over spring hunting, if forced to choose?

This week, the show is all about introducing young people to hunting! Taking young hunters is a passion for Ray, Tony and Mark, and we have in-the-field interviews and hunting action from actual trips that will bring “the recruitment process” to life.
