The Chase for World-Class Bucks w/ Andrae "The Lone Wolf" D'Acquisto | HUNTR Podcast #97

In this week's episode of HUNTR Podcast, we invite special guest Andrae D'Acquisto, founder of Lone Wolf Custom Gear, to talk about all things big deer. Andrae shares his journey not only as a bow hunter but as a business owner and what goes on behind the scenes at Lone Wolf.
Andrae is very passionate about his aggressive scouting techniques, understandably so, as he continues to kill giant deer year after year. He expresses the importance of being a mobile hunter, reading deer sign, and learning a property as a mature buck would.

[@travisshuttleworth630]

Andrae is the real GOAT!!!

[@woodzman991]

Utmost respect for John and Andre enjoy seeing a different point of view.thanks for the time guys

[@HUNTRPOD]

Absolutely. Opposite end of the spectrum

[@adamfellers5053]

This is so refreshing to hear someone who is real and says how it is and not all the corporate cookie cutter bs.

[@craigholland2274]

Eberheart brings out the best in everyone I guess, lol.

[@JimBowSlice]

Really strikes a nerve in folks lately

[@tyler1671]

What did I miss

[@billrehmeyer5795]

I love the variety of guests you guys bring to the table

[@mitchvaughn5977]

Pure knowledge listening to andrae!!

[@chanceyfuller3695]

Bad ass pod cast!

[@thesouthernlife4061]

Been waiting for this got to have cody on next

[@covidcrotch1960]

Love this episode

[@caseyhepler2806]

Wealth of knowledge guy, I think drastic weather barometer events or temp changes most important, seems moon overhead underfoot coinciding maybe best

[@craigholland2274]

Andrea is get listen, this is gonna push me over the edge and buy a .75. Elite hunter for sure.

[@LucasLathrop]

You guys should get him on a random public land hunt and have him back on after

[@tubesurfing]

Bucks can sense the frequency a human puts off

[@HUNTRPOD]

Seems like it

[@andrewmillard6780]

Badass!

[@normyoder2622]

Talk about throwing gas on the fire.! Very interesting also, to say the least

[@deerhuntingwithrickthepeas7870]

Marketing 101 right down to the name. I'm in except I haven't shot one buck yet... Ha!

[@jerimahjohnson8698]

I agree with what Andre said about poaching. Deer going missing in Ohio specifically the 230 typical that was here👿 I say it all the time someone is seeing the hills of southern Ohio with throw away non typicals that then breed with the local does. Also someone please dig up a trail cam pic of the Schumacher buck. I have an unreal story told directly to me about that deer. There are all kinds of pics of Iowa's lowienstein buck but no pics at all of that Ohio giant.

[@outdoorfamilytraditions9352]

Great podcast once again! My first time leasing/hunting outside my state of MI.. lease is in central Ohio. Just curious what’s your guys favorite part of Ohio?

[@tyler1671]

Why would u lease land in ohio lol you know how much public ground is lol I hunt 2 counties in nw ohio that produce 190s ... Google ohio buck herman... fucker lived down the street from one property I hunt. You don't need to own land in ohio to kill big deer makes more hassle then its worth also if it gets to big in our state it will ruin it so keep tgat shit up north please. I've hunted the hills of the south and the east it's good all public land when I do that and I see gaint deer I'm just very picky.

[@rickhuff5197]

They could score by displacement of water

[@Hubble-M]

Going to have to watch this again, big deer and shit hahahah

[@jaysonscaccia3188]

Yall are fighting who's the best Don, John, Andre lol While fred bear and Lanny and Lane benoit are sitting back saying "bitch please..."

[@swampbucker1]

Laughs in The Big Buck Serial Killer Dan Infalt of The Hunting Beast

[@travisshuttleworth630]

I'll buy the next stand if that's what it takes to get Cody on here!

[@adammiller4595]

I agree!

[@Paulannear]

Barking deer, thats a new one. Hey, the guy has killed monsters so who am I to say it didn't happen 😂

[@heavyd2249]

I hope they come out with a new light climber. Another tool to use!

[@dionysis84]

Well.. 😂

[@_DeFiNiTeLy_Not_BrAd_]

At the end you guys touch on emf coming from cameras, do you think the HECS camo system actually works for the same reason?

[@HUNTRPOD]

Honestly no idea, I’ve never worn HECS or really looked into it?

[@christopherhuffman1920]

Ok Folks, put your bag of popcorn 🍿 in the microwave at 20:47 cause the fun begins at 22:14! 😂😂😂😂

[@craigholland2274]

I liked when he talked about eberheart

[@travissmith-wz5nc]

Ohio has a gun season later in yr. Gets it out of rut

[@still1.]

Legend

[@h2osoe]

I really like how andrae made sure to let it be known he ain’t feeling those remarks from John. I agree though, john could preach everything without the specific name dropping. ! It’s messy and causing a lot of separation on top of the already divided hunting community!

[@joelfradiska8029]

🐺💪

[@uncled8418]

THE GOAT 🐐

[@cray-z7404]

My first deer 🦌/ buck scored 146 5/8 DIXIE DEER CLASSIC North Carolina and was biggest buck by a youth in 1993 , I was 13 years old and I’m 44 now and I assure u that 125 inch buck is not small on private or public here in central North Carolina… 150+ is almost unheard of yet I’ve been able to harvest several 150+

[@gametrailoutdoors]

Finally, thank you! Lol

[@jarredpujia8415]

Some feller in pa huh🤔

[@wadetaylor1299]

What does that mean ??

[@jarredpujia8415]

@@wadetaylor1299 im the feller in pa. I was just joking around with him.

[@wadetaylor1299]

[@JimBowSlice]

I think it's a mis conception between John and just about everyone lol John preaches he has private ground he has. John has killed a lot more then 125" deer he held the # 1 typical with a bow 181 ten pointer in Michigan and has killed lots of big deer. But I would bet Andre would kill a bigger deer then John under any circumstances. But it's not always about how big the deer is to me if you are killing bigger then average deer for your area your a killer.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Interesting. Someone else said he hasn’t had one of 144” in Michigan???

[@JimBowSlice]

@@HUNTRPOD yeah I'm really not that big of a fan of John but killing 125" deer consistently in Michigan is tuff. But yeah John had the state record 180" + for about 5 years until of all people Mitch rompola beat him out by an inch. Not Mitch's supposed world record this was 15 or so years prior. The thing that urks me about John he preaches scent control and how he pays no attention to wind but yet he's always 30' up, and to me he's just using thermals.

[@JimBowSlice]

@@HUNTRPOD he also says he has like 30 in the Michigan book which is CBM and it is only 100" to qualify

[@bmalone0688]

My favorite episode yet. Eberhart needs to wear a tutu and a princess crown next time on so that he gets the attention he is seeking. Andre is the man!

[@HUNTRPOD]

Haha! I still think John had a couple valid arguments

[@JasonHanson4]

Bring Cody on!!!

[@echtigren8188]

MSU deer lab has already debunked moon phases and nocturnal deer.

Lil slender and Dre d00d😅

[@ninominaudo6787]

Might want to spell and say his name right lol

[@stephenheintz7807]

You made a statement about corn piles for hunting. According to Y there would be Boone and Crockett bucks everywhere!!!! Just eliminate corn piles!! If only it were that easy!!! Propaganda!!! Anti baiter!! Hunters need to stick together!

[@jaslau22]

I’ve watched these two millennial’s podcast a few times because I’m local, Beaver County, Allegheny County and Washington County Hunter but I think it will be the last. I don’t like how they host a guest and praise their accomplishments and style of hunting but then host another guest who bashes the previous guest then laugh and go along with it. Doesn’t really make sense to me?However, John Eberhart is no more the “best archery hunter” in the world then Andrae is the best maker of tree stands in the world. I mean, “Every tree stand made after his has some part copied from his original design.” Give me a break! Andrae hunts low pressure bucks in low hunter density states. “I passed up five bucks over 160 inches in one hunt“, yeah that’s realistic. Also I give no respect to a guy who sells his company to only come back to claim the name and start another company so that his son can have a job after he put too many holes and tattoos all over himself and can’t get a job doing anything else.

[@patrickanderson5727]

Do some research on early andrae. Yes he has private farm now but he built his name hunting public ground and killing record book bucks. Also yes he is the grandfather of modern mobile hunting. His stands were the best for many years and many of the stands of today pull heavily from his originals.

[@craigholland2274]

You can't please everyone. If you don't like this one, then maybe it's not for you

[@rogerhook8002]

I like Andre for his deer hunting information, however, his filthy mouth is more than I can take. I despise the introduction to Lone Wolf you tube because of one word. Come on Andre and give us a break. He's not a bad person for it, it's just not a language I care to listen to. Best wishes!

[@BeastGrifters]

Pretty sure Infalt copied everything he could from this guy including his treestand.

[@dionysis84]

They actually are quite similar from listening to both of em, lol.

[@cray-z7404]

I’m pretty sure you stole Dan infanlts brand name Mr. Beast & Dan hasn’t stolen anything from anybody and both these guys are friends and associates !

[@KeepNitReal1980]

70% of hunting is getting up and going and the other 30% is luck.

[@tannerharris1483]

lol. Nice you can make up random percentages that don’t mean anything.
