What happens when you get fired from your job, invest in a thermal drone, and log over 2,000 hours of thermal drone footage on mature whitetails? You start busting hunting myths wide open.

In this episode of the Okayest Hunter Podcast, we’re joined by Derrick Dixon of Whitetail Research, who’s using next-level drone technology to track deer movement, bedding, funnels, and thermals in ways hunters have never seen before.

Derek shares how his research is confirming some long-held whitetail wisdom, while completely flipping other assumptions on their head. From how bucks really use wind and thermals, to why trail cameras can mislead weekend warriors, this conversation is a deep dive into big buck behavior backed by data, not guesswork.

Key takeaways:

  • What 2,000+ hours of drone observation revealed about mature buck movement

  • Thermals vs. wind: which one deer actually rely on most

  • Why your trail cameras might be lying to you

  • How time of day changes everything for big buck activity

  • Practical ways hunters can apply this research to limited sits

If you’re serious about learning the truth behind whitetail movement or just love deer hunting podcasts that dig deeper than campfire stories, this one is packed with insights you won’t hear anywhere else.
