The Non-Typical Project

Non-Typical deer are cool, but non-typical hunters are even cooler. The Non-Typical Project is all about the hunters who do it a little differently. The ones who go against the grain, the ones who found their own path, and all the things that make them non-typical. Non-typical talks with non-typical hunters. Belly laugh campfire stories, hunt strategy, archery, and everything in between. My name is Dean Besic and I'll be your host/guide as we hunt down some Non-Typical hunters and find out what makes them that way and how they're so darn good at it.

  ep.039 - Austin Culbertson - The Story of Junior, a 183" Public Land Giant

  Sep 25, 20261h 36m

  In today’s episode of The Non-Typical Project, Austin Culberston comes back on to tell us the incredible story of “Junior”; a massive 183 inch Missouri public land buck he watched grow for FIVE YEARS. Austin had history with Junior long before he ever had any idea what he would turn into. Year after year, Austin watched this buck grow, learned his habits, and even watched him breed his first doe; yep, the story is as funny as it sounds. Slowly, over the years, Austin passed Junior again and again and built a history with what would become the biggest public land whitetail he had ever taken. Just days into Missouri’s 2026 bow season, everything finally came together. Junior was still in FULL VELVET when Austin got his opportunity at this legendary public land buck. In this episode, we break down the entire story, from watching Junior grow over the years, seeing him evade being shot by other hunters, all the way to the moment Austin finally got the chance to put his tag on a true Missouri giant. If you love public land bowhunting, Missouri whitetails, early season deer hunting, velvet bucks, and stories about chasing mature bucks that seem nearly impossible to exist on public land, this is one you don't want to miss. I hope you guys enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording!

  Boy have I been waiting to do this one. Dylan Foster joins us today on the podcast! Dylan works with our friends over at Skre Gear and he is no stranger to pushing gear to it's limits. Dylan is a bowhunter hailing from Texas but leaving blood trails all over the country, and even in other parts of the world. Dylan walks us through layering, merino wool, clothing care, all things Skre Gear, and how to dress, layer, and stay comfortable enough all season long to be there and ready when it matters most. We take a dive talking about archery, hunting in Texas, opinions on high fence hunting for Texas locals, and even get into some of Dylan's bowhunting adventures. This is a fun one that has some great info for those of you still looking for your "system" to keep you comfortable all season long.

  ep.037 - Out of State Spot & Stalk - Solo Pod

  Sep 11, 202646 min

  In this episode of The Non-Typical Project, I recap my first out-of-state whitetail hunt; a three day public land bowhunting trip in Kentucky. After getting eyes on two mature bucks from a perch tree, I took an aggressive approach and went after them on the ground, working my way directly into their bedding area to attempt a spot and stalk. What followed was hours of stalking through cockleburs in 100+ degree heat, all for the chance to get within bow range. I eventually closed the distance to just 18 yards, but never got the shot opportunity. This is the reality of public land whitetail hunting: long, brutal days, aggressive tactics, close encounters, and sometimes walking away empty handed. I break down the hunt, what went right, what went wrong, and what I learned from my first Kentucky bowhunting adventure.

  ep.036 - Pre-Season Prep - Solo Pod

  Sep 1, 202645 min

  The season doesn’t start when you climb into a tree, it starts long before that moment. In this episode of The Non-Typical Project, I break down everything that goes into getting ready for my deer season, from preseason preparation and new hunting gear to bowhunting equipment, truck camping, and the work that happens behind the scenes before opening day. I talk gear, getting the truck camping setup ready, preparing for long hunts, and all the little things that can make a difference once deer season finally arrives. Because the hunt is only part of it, the preparation, anticipation, and work leading up to it are half the fun. If you're getting ready for whitetail season, this one is for you. I hope you all enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed breaking it down!
