Team 200, ASIO Gear, and Squashing the Beef w/ Joe Miles | HUNTR Podcast

In this episode of HUNTR Podcast, we bring on Joe Miles of ASIO Gear to sit down and talk deer with us. While Joe has participated in some crazy expedition style hunts, whitetails will always be his passion. There's nothing like meeting like-minded hunters who are just as ate up with deer hunting as you are. Not only has Joe killed over 100 whitetails with his bow, but he's participated in some crazy expedition style hunts across the globe too. Fast forward to today and Joe has his very own camo clothing line with a pattern deer hunters have never seen before. As we get to know Joe throughout the episode, we dive into topics such as his start of Team 200 with Adam Hays, how he started ASIO Gear, and more. Enjoy this episode as Joe shares his journey in the outdoor industry with us.

Jerad is the king of interrupting

[@Mossy-back-blacktail]

When you got over 30,000 plus subs people who want to hear what you got to say

[@loganshaw5328]

True that, the other guy can’t get a word in

[@Phallicgonzales3382]

Ya but he doesn't do it in a rude way. He does it perfect where he's able to slip a comment in to keep the conversation steerng in the right way. It's a skill not everyone has down as well as he does

[@star-b-qpodcast54]

He’s a real Eastern-US interrupter. That shit is a learnèd skill in the mid-Atlantic region, and he’s making all the rest of us Easterners proud.

[@Mossy-back-blacktail]

I always say I'm not going to listen to it the day you guys put it out so I can listen to it at work. but I can't ever help listen to it and just listen to it the next day again.my fiance makes the joke I listen to y'all more than I listen to the local radio.

[@HUNTRPOD]

🤣

[@danchamberlain9434]

Great guy & a great show! Now a discount code for the clothes would have been even better 🤣

[@markhotchkiss-or7tt]

Congratulations on your new house and property!! Enjoy listening to your videos. May God continue to bless you and your family as you continue to serve Him.

[@geraldmorris8730]

I did the same thing 2 years ago. Moved from Georgia to iowa.Quite a job I worked at for 20 years, sold my house, move here to iowa with no job, no house just to hunt big bucks. Bought 22 acres got a good paying job and still haven't got that giant buck lol

[@HUNTRPOD]

Haha it will happen man!

[@trelltrammell1241]

Joe's voice is so legendary

[@Foreverbowhunting84]

Great podcast fellas. Always enjoy listening to the conversations. Keep at it guys!!!

[@johnny_fins]

i've been turkey hunting for about 10 years and i was using out of state maps on the internet to figure out where i could be before onx. the absurd rise and glorification of out of state turkey hunting, is 1000% squarely on the THP and Pinhoti. there is no question in my mind.

[@davidvvv501]

Another great podcast.. One thing everyone should understand when talking Iowa or Kansas.....High scoring bucks are not common. In fact, even on the best farms in Iowa 170+ plus bucks are extremely rare . I'd venture to guess 170+ plus only consist of 1-2% of the buck population in Iowa or Kansas. Most people think Iowa or Kansas has 170+ bucks running around everywhere and this is definitely not true..Ask some of the celebrity hunters you have on your podcast like Mark Drury and Lakosky and I bet they will say what I do about % of high scoring bucks .

[@rubenroyer9488]

I’ve lived and hunted Illinois for 30+ years. Spent LOTS of time hunting whitetail. Only seen 2 bucks that would score over 200+..

[@davidvvv501]

@rubenroyer9488 I owned farms in illinois and left because with illinois regulations, older class bucks were becoming rare. They are getting shot at 2, 3, and 4 years old..Crossbows were the nail in the coffin for me to leave iilinois ..Also, ask most out of state hunters where they go each fall to deer hunt and 90% will say illinois..basically unlimited NR archery tags..I think iilinois could be the best state in the country for quality deer but the regulations are destroying it

[@rubenroyer9488]

You’re 100% correct. And as mentioned in the podcast, Illinois opened the door to straight wall rifle cartridge.😣

[@scottellis8964]

Joe is the real deal 💪🏽 thanks guys

[@HUNTRPOD]

Yes he is

[@user-sp9hy8tq4j]

More liscence were purchased then but this is a fact, there are more people hunting more often so it’s 10fold on pressure

[@HUNTRPOD]

Seems right

[@kidneystones3406]

I have a question regarding my bucket list for hunting experiences before the die. This one is regarding bowhunting the Rocky Mountains for mule deer in Colorado. I would like to day hunts, meaning I would sleep in my truck at night and hunt from sunrise to sunset during the day. I am not a trophy hunter, so I would be happy just to shoot a mule deer buck regardless of the score. I probably would hunt at least 10 days. I live Wisconsin how would train for hunting in the Rocky Mountains Mountains if you never done it before? What do you think my chances are if had to guess of being successful 52 yrs old?

[@HUNTRPOD]

I would say pretty high. I know there are a ton of giant mule deer in CO but probably more effort to get off the mountain every night. I would just plan to pack a camp in a few miles and base out of there.

[@jasonteeters6082]

Great show. Would be awesome to be on your show. I got some good stories. And some deer on wall. Ohio deer.

[@Raised-Right]

I was wondering when you guys might have Joe on. He's a big buck killin machine.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Yea what a great guy!

[@Raised-Right]

​@HUNTRPOD absolutely.

[@chuck8586]

58:32 pretty easy to understand how we can be losing hunters, while at the same time it seems like there are more with loss of access. Lets take Pennsylvania. Around 2010 we were still at 1million hunters, 2020 we’re around 900k. I think its closer 850k now. Thats still an f load of hunters, but clearly a drop. Those 850k are more capable today than in 2010 to lease ground. There are more businesses, apps, and websites, setup to help you find and lease a property than ever before. And people have never been more aware of how good hunting is in other places down to the local level. Theyre also, thanks to mapping technology, way way way more effective at knowing what ground is good ground. If You have 100k-400k avid hunters in a state, the available ground to hunt (thats not public) will drop. And the cost will go up. And that public ground will get hunted hard if theirs not a lot of it, or its easy to get to

[@MattJ25]

Great pod boys, when is ole John Eberhart coming back on? I’d love to have a round table and you guys be the moderators on issues like C*ossbows and C*rn P*les with previous guest

[@HUNTRPOD]

It needs to happen

[@robertmyers7542]

I’ve been on the advancement of tech not be accounted for for years now, I think it’s what has caused all big game to get hammered by the average guy in less time. Second, I can see if you just look at hunter license sales how you could say “we don’t see it shrinking,” but that number is pulled from percentage of population growth. Where we were 1/18 guys hunting something, now we are 1/23 because video gaming is easier….great show fellas!

[@HUNTRPOD]

Great info man

[@garystephenson2108]

Could be the best hunting podcast out there with one change. Anyone wanna guess what?

[@alexandercharlton4900]

Producer Nick finally shows his face?

[@garystephenson2108]

Tell Jared to stop talking over everyone!

[@toddstewart9437]

Ban cornpiles??

[@KyleMast12]

The obsessive hunters are displacing the door knockers with leases/buying. As well the general hunters with land want their own dream farm as well because of what they see on tv. The access of information has changed the game.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Absolutely

[@jakepoepping3640]

Yeah I don’t see how there are less cause more and more people I know either have started hunting in the last 10 years or even have a plan to try to start. Heck just last week a guy I know from Church just said he bought a bow and wants to get into it. Plus you add into the mix how many more women that hunt now then 20 years ago that was something that really made you say wow a women hunting!?

[@johnmeyers8210]

Are you guys in PA?

[@HUNTRPOD]

Yes sir

[@johnmeyers8210]

Nice what part, I was just up in Tioga County

[@toddstewart9437]

I would love to hear your thoughts on what you think the "hunting space" would look like at the end of 5 years if the 100,000 of "us serious" hunters would self-limit themselves to only killing one whitetail buck per season. They could still hunt multiple states, however they would only harvest one. Beyond that, any hunting they do would be as a mentor.

[@HUNTRPOD]

It would be pretty wild. For one it would immediately return a ton of access, people would not own or lease nearly as much land. That said I own land in 4 states and killed one buck in one state.

[@ryanfarmer5155]

Great conversation, you could always be from Michigan like myself😢, thats why I bought dirt in northern Missouri

[@HUNTRPOD]

Haha we feel you man

[@philipmedlin8902]

John Eberhart made fun of Mitch Rampala. Mitch has killed more big bucks than John has. I grew up hunting S.C. public land. Private property is harder to kill deer on than public.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Oh wow that’s wild in South Carolina

[@ukjw2]

Are you in the upstate?

[@codyyamnitz]

Public ground guys love to talk shit and act like they are such good hunters but always shoot small young deer and say "well I hunt public" bunch of broke ass BUMS is all they'll ever be

[@terrybraxton4443]

Whats changed about hunting on public is people with money and outfitters are getting all the private land people hunted for years . They have nowhere else to go

[@HUNTRPOD]

Yea they are flooded

[@chuck8586]

52:20 just cause you can shoot a crossbow 100 yards doesnt mean you can while hunting or should. If youre sitting on a field edge yeah fine you could shoot that far, but unless you dont give a shit about ethics at all, youre not taking the 100yard shot. if youre on public you’re probably in the woods. Good luck having a clear shot past 45yards. And plenty of people shoot 45yards with their compounds, youre foolishly naive if you believe otherwise And if you care about ethical harvests, which i believe we all should, then using a crossbow is a no brainer. It allows you to be even more sure of your shot, leading to a quick ethical kill.

[@chadhouser973]

…and a rifle is even more ethical than a Cross Gun, so what’s ur point? Their point is that Cross Guns should have their own season, not be lumped into Archery season. Same concept as separating Muzzleloder, traditional archery, archery, shotgun, etc

[@chuck8586]

@@chadhouser973as far archery equipment goes they are older historically than compounds so 🤷‍♂️

[@chadhouser973]

That is a complete irrelevant comment. Not trying to be a jerk. But what does a Cross Bow from the year 1500 have to do with modern weapons and deer seasons? I’m struggling to understand your point.

[@chuck8586]

@@chadhouser973 my point is theyre archery equipment and belong in archery season. And my original point is, theyre just the most ethical archery equipment, as long as youre treating them like what they are, archery equipment and not a gun.

[@chadhouser973]

@@chuck8586 so anything that launches an arrow is archery equipment? I disagree. Not all forms of firearms are permitted during the different firearms seasons. So why would all arrow weapons be allowed during all archery seasons?

[@user-sp9hy8tq4j]

I personally believe hold heartedly they dgaf about conservation, it’s all about money! Point blank

[@HUNTRPOD]

There are great people who care but ultimately money runs those places

[@user-sp9hy8tq4j]

@@HUNTRPOD so who decides the final descision on season limits and regs etc?? Does the areas biologists have any day to what should be done?

[@zaynemikita6897]

Remember, your eyes dont lie to you. There maybe less tags but pressurr is up and honestly i thnk its a lie. I think its just a way yo try and fear monger about losing funding for the resource. Thr government wants to make money.

[@ukjw2]

Man I disagree so much with this “on private it’s just the hunter and the deer”. Or “his natural habitat and movement”. Yall build farms specifically for them. You set up their bedding areas and feeding areas through manipulation. The entire thing is manipulated. On public it’s a more natural habitat. Other hunters is natural. Predators are natural. Not 5 different food plots and hinge cut bedding areas….downed trees strategically placed to make him dinner a certain way lol

[@HUNTRPOD]

While I don’t disagree with some of this, I 100% don’t think the hunting pressure is natural. I’d rather create better habitat and hunt a deer on those natural movements than have to hunt a deer based on how others pressure him. That said I think they both have their place. What’s crazy is neither is really the same as it was 20 years ago

[@codyyamnitz]

@ukjw2 dude you dont know shit. Public is for broke ass bums and thats absolutely it. You aint a better hunter, you aint a better woodsman. You aint shit

[@chrisgiller2050]

Yes, try all that stuff.You're talking about and being a taxidermist At the same time, where you have limited time to do it.I'm pretty much sick.I don't know about ready to quit.It's not fun anymore

[@codyyamnitz]

John eberhart is the typical public land hunter. Kills low scoring young deer but thinks its the same as killing a 180 on private

[@HUNTRPOD]

😂
