I'm not sure I have ever fully agreed with someone on their way of hunting and their thoughts on different scenarios but listening to Cody talk is spot on with how I hunt, I didnt disagree with one thing he said... Good Interview!
Travis Pierce 👊🏻
So what your saying is you own your private ground and you lease multiple properties surrounding your private ground n run 40-50 trail cameras to hunt whitetails cus that’s what Codi was saying…He only hunts private Travis I think you really missed that point in the beginning of the interview man really
I know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account??
I somehow lost my account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Dorian Jeffrey Instablaster =)
@Andres Colt thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process now.
Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
The tone of this interview became unbearable 20 minutes in. Let him talk. This just sounded so combative. Stressed me out to listen to.
Right? Confrontational from the start for some reason. D'Acquisto handles it well, but he gives very few f*cks. He knows some people are brick walls when it comes to hunting mature whitetails, 'Cool man. Good luck' seems to be his go-to farewell.
I came here to see if I was the only one who felt this way.
I wanna take a nap on that porch in that rain!
I love opening weekend/week And especially SEPT. 17. LOL. 2 pope and young I've shot opening week.
great interview! I really liked how the interviewer pushed cody for the specifics. This style is by far the most helpful/informative.
One of my favorite interviews
Hey, I filmed this! :)
Was this an interrogation or an interview? Was waiting for his lawyer to pop out and tell him not to answer that and incriminate himself.
love the questions here and really digging into his hunting style! Good stuff!
Good information! Thanks!
Dylan Padgett glad you enjoyed it!
I love this interview. Makes me want to hunt mornings more this year but I'm always worried about bumping deer out of fields or getting to close to bedding and ruining it.
Good interview. Its good to hear passionate peoples perspective becauae you know its real.
I like the idea/concept of not getting all hung up on the "rules" of how it should be done and just take some chances ... And this is what I dig about Cody & Andre !
Center of mass. Thanks. I thought so too but good to hear.
Fact is the key to success is scouting, hard work and time in the stand. Make it happen! My three keys in success in this order. PRAYER PATIENTS and PERSISTENCE.
Some good information in this
Good to hear Mike!
Stop interrupting him man, dang.
I love how you kept hammering out the details. Situational is the key word in this interview. I see some poor sucker that has permission on one property clearing the field out every morning..because why not.
Love this interview hahaha
This sounds like a debate or argument lol
I’ve literally listened to this interview start to finish every bit of 10+ times. Cody is the real deal. Had my shooter last fall at 30 yards while hunting from the ground in a standing cornfield overlooking a small finger that entered into a waterway. Didn’t kill him that night even though I should’ve but capitalized two weeks later. Find the sign, analyze it thoroughly, and make it happen. Simple as that.
Good interview! The guy seems super keyed in on how to hunt and be successful doing so. For everyone bagging on the interviewer I think he did a heck of a job. Seemed like all he was trying to do was get more detailed answers and more knowledge out of Cody and for that I’m appreciative.
Appreciate that Brandon!
I killed the biggest buck of my life walking in to my stand in the morning. I seen all this crazy rut action in the morning the day before I had a deer run at me. He was thinking I was another deer and was coming to see what I was came 5 yards I could only see rack as I was duct in the high weeds so it was gray light. So the next morning I went it slowly just after gray light and he ran right to me and shot him off the ground in the morning, I love mornings. When I was making it to my stand in the end of October I had deer coming at 8 9 10am before I shot this 10 going in on nov 4th.
Loved this one - He came off as an expert in this interview. Good job, Cody. Note: 57:00 Exactly right about shooting anywhere near the shoulder. I also lost 2 deer shot in the shoulder (10-15 yard shot with 65-70# bow) and never found either one after 4-7 hours of searching.
Killed my biggest buck on a field edge in the morning and then 4 days later my buddy shot another wall hanger out of the same stand in the same exact spot if you wanna shoot big bucks you gotta take calculated risks
The fact you got anything out of the Dacquistos these days is amazing, been waiting for YEARS for new stuff. However, he definitely didnt like your questions I can tell. He even sounds like Andrae from a pure audio perspective.
Jeremy Hoffman the interviewer and Cody are good friends so it made for a more candid interview.
Thanks for the feedback and watching!
Ahh, the dynamic makes sense then, I treat my friends like that too. Like 'HEY GOOBER, did you listen the first fifteen times or not?'
Must've had the conversation at least in part prior at some point
Also i think he hunts in Iowa and thats kind of a low pressured state where you might be able to get away with some very aggressive tactics you can in do that but some heavy pressured bucks are gonna catch on so you gotta jump on em fast but hey they got the big ones on the wall so im not gonna argue, but some areas are totally different
@@conflict7269 I've been to the Midwest. Even the public is a different ball game than the public in PA. Never was fortunate enough to hunt good private out of PA, refuse to use an outfitter. I can't imagine how awesome it must be to do so.
Great listen, I listed to a small clip of this podcast a few days ago n it seemed like cody couldn’t handle this guys but now I see now he’s just passionate and sick of these excuses everyone puts out there. Hunt hard man great listen!
I wanna see Cody and Dan infault in a interview together that would be awesome!!
I felt like this was an argument more than an interview
If the wind is swirling at your stand try moving your stand 40 yards up or down the trail see what it's doing there.
How about letting Cody finish answering your question before you rudely interrupt him to make your next point?!! Geez
badbrad936 Honestly, he’s one of my best friends and he doesn’t always understand how the average deer hunter thinks. Sometimes I’ve gotta try to pull it out of him haha.
But how do you know?
Right lol which a dick wad 😂
You interrupt too much. Let the guy finish talking first.
Cody is one of my really close friends, and he’s light years ahead of most hunters in skill and mindset. I try to really pull stuff out of him when we have these conversations and sometimes we get fired up haha.
I liked the give and take. It was like friends having a passionate discussion over a beer (in the rain.)
Dude is a giant deer killer and one that doesn't buy into all the "INDUSTRY" jargon
Right. I LOVE it when people don’t buy into all of the gimmicks and BS, and don’t have sponsors and guided hunts....and smash GIANT mature bucks every year....these type guys are real hunters and would make the majority of the TV personalities look like a joke if they actually had to do the work and hunt like Cody, Andre, Dan Infalt...and guys like these. Love it!
"I had 140 150 inch deer and thought it was a slammer" man I wish the day I can 140 and 150s aren't slammers lol
Why is the moderator getting mad at Cody’s answers. He’s attacking him with these questions and then gets mad when he answers lol.
If you dont live where big deer live it doesn't matter how good you are. I think there are some great hunters out there that dont get the recognition of being a buck killer to no fault of their own. The guy that pounds public every killing pope and young class bucks regularly imo are waaaaaaaaaaaaay more skilled than a deer farm manager like the drurys, lakoskys, you pick the name.
Sturgises.
@@russelllangworthy8855 His weather and time of yr algorithm is good stuff.
@@jordanpowell228 It could be accurate in one location and completely wrong somewhere else.
Yupp that's me work 40 plus coach little league football wrestling and baseball and still make time to workout and get in the woods it's all about priority
Easy to get out of your bed early when you've never had a real job.
I think Cody's way of thinking is so on point. You have to get in on them! A nocturnal buck is a daylight buck somewhere you just have to find out where.. The big money TV shows have a lot of people brainwashed to think you NEED all these products and perfect conditions.. Great interview!!
Michael Bryan can’t agree more, thanks for watching!
Yes... totally agree! Every situation is diffrent. Don’t be afraid to fail. Stay aggressive with common sense. That’s the message i get everytime i hear the D’Acquisto’s speak!
I dont think Bucks need mirrors to know what they have on their heads...they can feel their rack when they rub and walk through the thicker stuff...plus if they are outside their ears they can probably see their main beams
"and try shooting a bow from a bubble" hahahahhah
I actually really like how the guy interviewed Cody. The way he picked his brain and asked all these questions and pushed issues was incredible
Dude has a lot of good info and a lot im sure we didnt get because this guy wouldnt shut the hell up after he asked a question.
Hunting deer that aren't pressured is true deer hunting....I wish i could do it every year. Pressure vs Non Pressured deer....there is nothing like it. I agree with all of what Cody said from prep to hunting and scent control. What I would point out though and i'll use the word "situational", is most techniques that work in Iowa don't translate well in other states. Pressure being THE #1 influence. Iowa has little to none in comparison to many other states.
My post was not to diminish or downplay what others have accomplished in Iowa. i'm just pointing out the fact that when you hunt deer that are not pressured, you can actually enjoy your hunt and not have to worry about other human factors. Watching deer moving naturally and not moving a certain way because of human influences is a great time.
There are not scripts to hunting. I think that's what Cody is saying without trying to be a chit head. People love to quote rules on hunting "they say this and they claim that". There are no rules, big sign, big tracks, big deer. Sign don't lie.
Blu Gill Pressure is definitely a huge variable when considering everything.
@@ExodusOutdoorGear Lots of people say "my deer are pressured" as an excuse for being somewhere where there are no big deer or when they settle for smaller.
@@ashtanga2000 Very true, thanks for watching!
Funny.....a Scentlok suit is kinda like a "bubble"! And I can shoot a bow from a Scentlok suit! 🤷🏻♂️ These people have a ton of work ethic, yet won't do what's necessary to eliminate scent because "it's too much work"! 😂
Do u hunt over baits???
37:55....anyone else notice the ‘sasquatch’ eye shine in the top left corner of that video.....??? Not saying that it is a Sasquatch.....but what is it?
A raccoon would be way closer in eye distance to each other and way more movement...and owls blink a lot.....just saying....what else could that be? Again, not saying for sure Sasquatch...but what else could it be....as far as a larger nocturnal animal...that high up in the tree’s. I have never seen a pure no doubt daylight, clear sighting...but I have had some things happen to me, a dark HUGE silhouette sighting of something upright and about 7’ tall 30 mins before light...and some vocalizing that was nothing that I know of....and after those experiences....and lots of research....it is a real possibility that they are real. And there IS LOTS of evidence of SOMETHING....this coming from a pure non believer, skeptical....bow hunter that has been hunting for over 20 years with a bow....and after some REALLY weird crap happening in the woods, some crazy finds....and real research....this is the conclusion I am coming to....there is SOMETHING out there people are not willing to admit or not willing to be open minded to. All I am saying is after my experiences....I started doing some real research and there is A LOT of legit evidence of something....but beware because there is a lot of bullshit fake stuff out there too.
Hey Cody, anyone ever tell you that you look just like Chris Webby?.
What the fuck is this ? A pissing contest ?
What an annoying interview. Made it a hard listen and the interviewer made it difficult for Cody to finish speaking
I listened to this around the time this came out. But I see it was released on Spotify on their podcast this year in late spring. I do like the fact he asked Cody a lot of questions cause sometimes I feel like out of all people the D’Aquistos can be vague. But the proof is there they know their stuff! But this guy who did the interview even pissed me off lol cut him off to much and seemed like he didn’t care what Cody said. Enjoyed this one to pick Cody’s brain but shitty job on exodus end. Couple different points where he could of kept the conversation going further but would take two steps forward and one step back. But regardless they normally put out great content.
Study the moon. You won’t regret it.
#powerhunt
So true... if u no where he beds and eats it should be a dead deer! Every 3 days they move... feet on the ground!
This kind of cracked me up. The guy keeps saying over and over "But how do you know?" If you knew, it would be called deer shooting, not deer hunting. Just stack the facts in your favor, play the wind. Just like the deer do. You all lost me when he said he'd rather gut shoot a deer than vitals!!! WTF. Tasty.....Wow.
he said hed rather have a gut shot than a shoulder shot. he probably means actually hitting one in the shoulder blade which is a high shot and bad penetration usually.
the guy interviewing was really trying to ask the hard questions and hold the interviewee to task but when you got into the bedding. well at least their
He picks his brain to the final detail. “I scouted” ok what EXACTLY did you scout, define it, explain it, etc. Very informative.
Let the man talk lol … killing me
I really feel like the guy doing the interview thinks there is an exact way these guys kill big deer.He seems so confused and gets so frustrated when Cody just looks at him with that look like did you really just ask me that.
wow way too much cutting him off
Does smoking ur clothes above a camp fire work ??
the interviewer is a newb lol
See you can tell the difference between a hunter that hunts and knows by experiencing and the interviewer which you can tell has minimal experience other then what he watches on you tube or what he is told.
This is when Exodus use to interview the best bow hunters Andre & Cody! Nowadays exodus just interviews anyone who claims this or claims that but are clueless BUT Andre & Cody are the best to EVER DO IT!
John eberhart and Dan infalt are right up there with them.. if I had to say the best to ever do it, it’s be don higgins
Mature bucks are more weary of scent
Lot of rambling
god I cant stand the mindset of “all bucks are the same” mindset. the interviewer gives in to that for sure and completely insults codys hunting intelligence. perhaps the interviewer is playing the devils advocate for all the bs deer hunting myths.
Listening to Cody almost gives me a headache.
Unless you own private ground and or lease multiple land surrounding your private property nobody but a few people in the 🇺🇸 USA hunt like Cody n his Papps let’s be clean on that one…Public land hunters n weekend warriors won’t get anything out of this interview
