His seminar for 35 min was better than a high price youtube personality I hired. Him and eberhart are hands down best in industry

Tony is considered the TOP is his Profession. He was one of the first "Deer Guy" back in the day

I have 1 acre in the backwoods. I took what this man said and tested it. I didnt do any beds, no plots. Strictly hinge cuts and forming a directed path for them to walk on through my acre. I've completely controlled and manipulated them with their access and travel paths. This man has simplified the aspect of hunting by logical thinking. Truly amazing.

He's a great guy. Been to 4 of his seminars

I’ve been to his boot camp and he’s been on our property in South West Michigan for habitat management. Tony is the real deal!

What does he charge for a visit ?

Elite-tier combat hunting tactics, excellent.

Wow, what a neat conversation. Tony knows his stuff and presents it with real confidence. I bet 2 days in the woods with him is priceless. Thanks for sharing it with the hunting world.

I'm getting 'van down by the river vibes'! I really like this guy!

Now that was legit...nice job boys

Man i underestimated this one!!!! Made way to much sense to me.

This guy is awesome. Great knowledge

Tony the tiger he's greeeeaaaat 👍👏🥾 on the ground 💯

Love listening to Tony

Absolutely awesome! It's great to have Tony on, guys. I love how he puts his Scenarios on things. Genius

One of my favorites podcasts I have herd in last 6 months

Great show, thank you for getting Tony to sit down with you.

Really great episode guys!!!! Been doing this for 30 years and it’s great to hear other points of view!! Learning never ends!!! I like Tony’s transparency on “I am who I am”. Great job & very insightful! 💪👍

one of the best podcasts you guys have had! good work! Thanks Tony!

Great show guys loved it. Great Info

@2:42 “Trapping money” caught me off guard for a second there. Thinking this was the Big Tony everyone talked about lol

Man you guys do awesome interviews. You guy's gonna be at the illinois deer classic?

Thank you for tuning in! We will not be at the Illinois Deer Classic this year

His bootcamp is well worth the cost. I only wish I would have gone years ago. Highly recommend the class. Great guy, excellent teacher!

Excellent interview!. He said a lot of great stuff in a way that is understood in a simple common sense format. It’s been a while since I’ve watched a hunting show in the morning and let my coffee cup go dry because I forgot I had a pause button! Ha ha! he hooked me right out of the gate. Gonna seek him out for more info for sure. Thanks guys!

Man, Tony seems like such a nice guy. What an incredible amount of knowledge and experience too.

Went to Tony's boot camp a few years ago. Had an awesome time. Money well spent, learned a lot from him and his techniques do work!

First time I've listened to your podcast. Thank you so much for interviewing Tony. He is authentic and an encyclopedia of knowledge and knows how to apply it. Thanks for sharing!

The only thing I didn't like about it was it was only 54 minutes long that was such a tease, we need like a 3 hour video pretty please🤞. We need more of Tony on KZread. He has very interesting strategies that really got my gears turning.

What an episode! Great information and I always enjoy the in-person episodes! Great work Jake and Chad!

This was a great interview! I am definitely signing up for a boot camp! Well done

Love this guy

The best information on whitetail and habit that I've ever heard .

Outstanding!!! Wow!! Ok I’m hooked. Great job! I have work to do….but can’t stop watching. Geez.

Absolutely loved this video! I could listen to him talk all day! What a wealth of knowledge!!

Hybrid willows have been my friend in the screening world.

Man, this guy is a gem. I've been hunting 25 years and have a solid portfolio, I guess, and he painted a picture and went into extreme detail. I've Def learned a lot off him. Thank all of u and Goodluck this year.

We've met Tony many times at Huntin' Shows in Michigan. He's a top notch guy who will always answer questions.

Love his enthusiasm

Great video. Thanks for setting it up.

Tony’s insights are great

Love Tony. Great podcast. Great guest!

nothing but knowlege bombs🤯

This man is Amazing!!

I think the first time I heard the term food plot was from Tony.back in about 87 we had “deer fields” before that or green fields.

Tony is a true deer hunting champion.

Your best podcast yet.

This is sooo good 🔥🔥🔥

Best podcast yall have had.

I learned o much from this video! Thanks

Every time I pass Tony’s property off Old 27, I wonder how many bucks are bedded down in there. It looks thick and quiet.

I love this guy. What? Nice.

We have 13 acres in SW MI. that doesn't hold bucks year around. Tony is 100% right with his small property concepts. We use it as a social hub with plenty of mock scrapes, small food plots and easy entry/exit stand locations. It's a dynamite place during the Rut.

cool story bro

Hi Tony i just watch your video and you said your coming to wi.when are you coming?

Can someone explain his method on planting corn and beans? Plant corn to block the deer from getting to the beans? Is that how it works?

@@ExodusOutdoorGear that'd be great! In short just for now how did yall interpret it? Whole field of beans but a few rows of corn in the middle so they just hit the corn and not beans? Sound right?

This guy is a savant. Never even heard of him. Great pod guys. Thanks for sharing

I wonder how much he charges for consulting

15 years ago we didn’t have a lot of baiting in the area I hunted in Ohio before all the local Amish started going to this guys camps in Michigan. Wasn’t long they were full blown baiters. It used to be hunting property needed some acreage to make it worth the investment. Today we are surrounded by 10 different properties that range from 4- 100+ acres. Most of them have multiple bait piles. With increase in hunting pressure and lower kill criteria, it’s hard to get a 125-140 inch 2-3yr old buck to survive. The only bucks that consistently reach maturity now are the rag horns. From 2018-2022 I shot 3 bucks on this farm. Average age was 4.5 yr old average points was 7pt average score was 105” meanwhile the neighboring hunters are consistently shooting 2-3yr old PnY deer 125-140” Dunno what else to do so I guess I’ll shoot the mature cull deer and they shoot the pretty looking ones lol 🤷‍♂️

Tonys a little weird! lol just joking this was a good interview thanks

Never judge a book by its cover. He is the most unassuming deer wizard.

Love what this guy is talking about, but talking about planting invasive and non native plants even if they're extremely damaging to surrounding lands (even though he doesn't talk directly about the damage some of these plants cause)? That's kinda whack. He mentioned being a true woodsman, that involves the preservation and conservation of native life.

careful wear youre walking, dont step in the bullshit

He hasn't been on many podcasts because he doesn't like to offer any useful information. You have to take his boot camp or hire him to disclose anything useful.

@@bobo44donemilking51 I'm paying plenty of attention to Lapratt. Did you know that he sued some of his past clients accusing them of sharing his "secrets"? That frivolous case was thrown out of court because his "secrets" were deemed to be common knowledge. His reputation was marginal before that bone headed move. After that he lost all credibility.

You sound like his neighbor

Thumbnail should say farm hunting for farmers. Garbage.

OMG this was ridiculously good. This dude reminds me of myself in so many ways. I started trapping in the early to mid 70's and learned a lot about deer in the process. I didn't start deer hunting until later, but I used to skip holidays and everyone's birthday to go hunting every day too. I learned a lot back then, but now my first sit isn't until mid to late October. The 20th being the magic date to even consider a first sit. I have a small property as well, but I always shoot the big ones and the neighbors all hate me and accuse me of poaching 🤣. So many other parallels with this dude. It's actually uncanny. But I'm a lot better looking 🤣 Never even heard of this guy before, but very cool 👍

He really makes a ton of sense. And I know what he is saying when he says get in tune with all your surroundings nothing helps you as much as learning to put the slip on another predator we are human but predators of the highest level!! But if there is any doubt in your mind. Step out of the box and build a few sets for coyotes fox even wolves if they are in your state another is bobcat any of the above isn't easy . When you're comfortable with sets and begin to find full sets then you will be able to understand how much difference between the predators and a whitetail buck a hell of a lot. If you don't have the choice of being taught then take the nolage and work to better this proseiger sent alone with Coyote wolves bobcat fox!!! A tip off the top is rubber gloves that come to your elbow when you get consistent at it I can easily see his point excellent pod cast. You all seem locked on gaining as much knowledge as you can.awsome!!!! l
