Bill seems like a good human who cares deeply about his family.
Bill got a lot of respect from me for the sleeping in the stand episode. I used to think yeah give me or anyone else land in Iowa and all the money spent on it and it will be the same results. But if he’s sleeping in the stand, he’s putting the same amount of dedication into literally everything else too and most people aren’t going to do that.
Bill is the proto-typical guy to the phrase "act like you've been there b4." Humble, professional & not so serious that he can't laugh @ the follies of his past while never dwelling on them. With time things often change & u just can't react to things in a way that's not conducive to your core values. That makes him so good @ seeing value when it's not apparent to many.
Great interview. Bill is my favorite hunter to watch his demeanor and the way he relays his knowledge and tells the story verbally and through the media is always top-notch. I always enjoyed following along on the midwest whitetails.
Great to see Bill again. Great episode. Good luck to Bill. I look forward to seeing more of him soon.
What a smart and great humble guy. Says a lot for how his parents raised him. Really enjoy his honesty and how he keeps things real. Best of luck with all your pursuits Bill.
So much great information in this conversation, feel very lucky we were able to recover the conversation and share it with everyone!
I really lessened my learning curve by watching Midwest whitetail in my younger years when I was developing as a hunter. Informative yet entertaining. Good luck with the new farm Bill
Grateful that he takes the time to have these conversations. He is exactly right, start small and work your way up until you are comfortable.
I watched this expecting to learn more from Bill about hunting and came away with years of experience and life lessons. That was way more than I anticipated. What a fantastic interview!
I'm so so so so glad you guys got all the footage back!!!! I was sweating last year when you were telling that story about the stuff "getting lost"..
Bill is the Goat. Period.
The depth and relative detail in which he educates us from HIS personal experiences, I promise has killed more mature bucks for people than anyone else in the past 15+ years.
Yea farm raised deer thats not pressured
Bill is such a wealth of knowledge and a humble guy. Great video and love midwest whitetail.
I miss Bill so much, this was so great to listen to! Thanks guys!
MIdwest Whitetail is still one of my favorite programs. Was even better with Winke involved.
That was awesome. Really enjoyed that interview.
Great info guys. Thanks again
Everything about this is awesome! I really enjoy listening to bill. I
grew up watching him.
Sweet podcast! Bill is the reason I applied to Midwest Whitetail! Hope to see some content from him soon 👊🏽
I would love to watch/listen to a podcast with Mr. Winke explaining how he finds those "no brainer" spots that he mentions later in this episode... In my opinion, Bill may be one of the most respected people in the hunting industry. I think it would be hard to find anyone who wouldn't be excited to sit down and have a conversation with him.
Such a fascinating conversation. 👍
Bill needs to write a book! Yes he has others that are specific to hunting deer but almost a memoir. There is just so much information in his head and it makes the whitetail community a better place
Agreed! His blog is a great place to start!
Great Interview Guys! Lots of truth in what Bill had to say about land ownership. His path of land ownership and mine have a lot of similarities.
Great interview. I’d really like to learn more about the business of Midwest Whitetail and 41 North and what went down when Bill stepped away. I’d find that fascinating and informative.
I’ve just started but I’m digging this financial side of things
Exodus, great job meeting with Bill and asking the great questions. Main takeaway was it is good to get out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself with your dreams that God has placed in your heart. I am glad Bill took that risk early and by faith continued down the path he is on now ! Thanks guys and thanks Bill for sharing your story!
My dad and I hunted 200 acres in Auburn, AL (college town) back in the 80’s (I was just a kid). The owners offered it to him for $25k. He was devastated because my parents didn’t have $25k, and didn’t feel like they could make the payments. He was only making $25k at the time, and they had us 3 kids. Fast forward - back in the early 2000’s that 200ac tract sold for $4.5mil to a developer that built a subdivision on it full of $250k houses. You just never know.
Great job fellas
Man I can hardly handle listening to Bill talk about land prices from back then!! Haha just crazy!
Bill Winke changed the way I hunt. Owe A LOT to you Mr. Winke. Thank you. November 9th or bust!! 🦌
Big Winke fan, but I couldn’t help noticing the Larry Zach prints (?) in the background!
Great work fellas.
Best outdoor writer on whitetails ever.
Really enjoyed this podcast. Imagine being able to see land in southern Iowa for 400 per acre 😢 😂
Bill Winke the GOAT
Bill, we miss ya. Hope your back soon, even if its just talking about the days hunt.
When ever you guys are in mn. I wanna meet you guys
what is going on with these edits being all out of whack audio not matching the clips?
When reading my comment please keep in mind we can like and respect a human being but not necessarily what they do or represent. First, it's clear that Bill Winke is a good man and one heck of a hunter. He ranks at the very top in his contributions to the expansion of deer hunting and especially to the understanding of whitetail habitat. Bill is a giant in his field and deserves every accolade that comes his way.
HOWEVER...he as much as anyone else is responsible for the skyrocketing prices of deer hunting properties that have put a once-simple sport/past-time out of reach for untold numbers of hunters. His approach - which focuses heavily on land stewardship and intensive management - has lead directly to a harmful competition among land owners/managers. Deer clubs now spend countless tens of thousands (in many cases MILLIONS) of dollars to attract deer from nearby land tracts to theirs: tractors, implements, ATVs, massive food plots and all the associated expense.
Perhaps the most corrosive consequence is that of "horn porn." The result - rather than the process - became the emphasis. It's no longer good enough to kill a decent buck. {Forget about a doe}. Generations of hunters are now conditioned to believe the only worthy buck is 140"+. (oh....and the unfortunate preoccupation with "inches" directly corresponds to the changes in deer hunting culture Bill is part of). We no longer "hunt" deer. We FARM them. We artificially manipulate the habitat to bring deer within range and shoot them from carefully selected vantage points in trees and heated box stands, replete with gas stoves and office chairs.
Bill is as good as they get. But I prefer the methods and philosophies of hunters like Dan Infalt, John Eberhart, and The Hunting Public guys. No need to flame me. My opinions aren't that important, LOL.
The Indians used vantage points, blinds and decoys. Instead of hating on success why not encourage others to be successful?
@@erniesantana508 Ernie, where in my post do you find me "hating on success?" Why did you ignore all the positive things I said about Bill? I'll tell you why: Because people focus only on what reinforces their own views. You picked and chose among my comments to build your narrative.
I'm not "hating" on Bill. I'm pointing out perhaps unintended consequences to a movement he was a large part of. I guess you truly believe opposing viewpoints should stay in the shadows, right? If it's a perspective you don't like, then it should remain unspoken. Well, you're in luck! You live in a time when anything remotely resembling criticism of the expected order is deemed "hate speech." You and people like you want only those views that reinforce your way of thinking. I guess I should apologize for expressing an opposing perspective.
But I'M NOT.
@@jakemitchell1671 Sir you do make a good point. These among other such as high fence have changed hunting for the negative. They also make it harder for the average hunter to find land to hunt which in the long term will also be a negative.
@@jakemitchell1671 a movement he was a large part of is a bit of a stretch. land prices were low yes but that had to do more with low commodity prices during the 80-90. farmers started leasing and they found a good source of income. more success on one farm brought a bidding war. the winners got the farm the losers bitched about how things were terrible. Winke had nothing to do with that. its called market economics my good friend. you pay to play and if you can't go hunt public with your THP friends. this whole thing about blaming people for their success wreaks of a democratic socialism and its Anti American as far as I'm concerned. go out and risk your future work harder than anyone and you'll get yours. gentlemen dint be Jake Mitchell that probably middle aged and things haven't gone his way in life now he a bitter man and can't see the goodness in others succeeding
@@erniesantana508 WHAT?? LOL! You know NOTHING about me, yet you feel comfortable projecting some image you've literally created in your head! WTH Ernie? I'm not a caricature, dude. "Bitter man?" That's hilarious. I'm a successful business owner of 18 years, having earned a master's degree and am ABD for my PhD, just celebrated 28 years of marriage, father of three kids, two of whom have graduated college and have successful careers, the youngest finishing next year and going to law school. Bitter? LOL! My wall is decorated with the busts of bucks I harvested on public land through hard work and determnation. I resent NO ONE for "success." I just perhaps hold a slightly different view of "success" than you. It's clear you've painted a strawman, and now you'll take empty pot-shots at it. I'm sorry you can't see the value in differing opinions and have to resort to insults and projections looking for solid ground. I'm sure you'll reply. I won't. I've said what I have to say.
Please do Jarrod Mills
I hunted a place that we had walk on access that has actually got locked up recently by some people who leased it and alot of us local hunters lost big opportunity at some Pope and young class deer..big money always trumps little money....an it is what it is ...
What time frame do you guys air whitetail cribs?
September through the end of the year this fall! Bills episode will air in November
I wish Bill all the best. He seems like a genuine good chap. I hope he kills a giant every year on his new farm.
It's 10000 acre now
That they can’t kill anything without game cameras Everywhere and Food Plots Everywhere
Man I envy you guys getting to live the dream maybe one day I cN branch into that world and stop laying shingles
Heck yeah, you can do it! I roofed through the majority of high school and college- tough work!!
Don’t give up on your roofing career. I know many roofers that make well into six figures.
@@rooftop7089 not working for someone else
Can I get a synopsis, I' don't have 2 hrs. I'll even throw in a thumbs up

I sure would have been tempted to keep the Southern Iowa farm and move to NE Iowa near your parents. It's what you do for a living, I think your family knows you would spend a lot of time in Southern Iowa during the fall and winter. 2 hour or so drive? It almost seems like there is another reason you sold the Southern Iowa farm that you are not making public. Which would be understandable.
It isn't just the hunting season. Owning a farm like that requires a lot of time during the off season too. Plus, I just love that bluff country where I grew up. If you saw the beauty of the farm I bought you would see right away why I did it.
Definitely understandable and I think everyone wishes you the best in the new area.. I'm sure it was a tough decision to move! Looking forward to your new content this fall. Good hunting!
Land management is year round. Your assumptions suck
@@bill-winke This video had tremendous value to me in terms or your financial mind and investment strategy. Thank you!
mixed up editing....repeating same conversation.....🙄🙄🙄
I’d
I bet he wouldn't be able to go somewhere else like the carolinas and kill big deer. Those big deer are farm raised deer that they name see from beginning to the time they decide to kill it. I would like to see them do it on public land
