Successful whitetail hunts on Epicenter Outdoors consulting properties with Chuck Main

The Story of Chuck Main & Epicenter Outdoors

For Chuck Main, hunting has always been more than just a pastime—it’s a lifelong pursuit. Since the age of 12, Chuck has been obsessed with learning everything he could about whitetail deer, habitat management, and land development.

He honed his skills in the woods of Western Pennsylvania, but his passion led him beyond state lines, studying whitetail behavior across Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, and West Virginia. Each region offered new insights—different food sources, habitats, and movement patterns—all of which fueled his expertise in deer hunting and land management.

Where It Began

Epicenter Outdoors started with a simple idea: helping landowners get more out of their properties—not just for hunting, but for the overall health and functionality of their land. Chuck Main, an experienced hunter and land consultant, began walking properties with landowners who had the potential, but not the plan. What began as informal walk-throughs and basic advice turned into full-scale habitat designs, food plot plans, and season-long management strategies.

Today, Epicenter Outdoors combines Chuck’s boots-on-the-ground experience with a curated selection of hunting gear, habitat tools, and property consulting services—all built around one mission: helping hunters and landowners make the most of their ground.
