Meet Dean Capuano, host of the Outdoor Channel's Swarovski Optics Quest.  You'd think that a host of a TV show might have one different path to television, but this one is a bit different.  Dean started his hunting passion in the heart of the smallest state in the union, Rhode Island.  After an amazing college hockey career and after being drafted by the Boston Bruins, a career ending injury eliminated the path to professional hockey.   Thanks to a call from his sister, Dean started a job as a customer service rep for Swarovski Optics, and the rest is history.  Dean shares the details with us.

If you added up all the whitetail bucks that Gordon Whittington has written of over the last 30+ years, you'd read over 1000 incredibly well crafted stories about some of the largest whitetails the world has ever seen. A man after our own heart, we could not wait to hear Gordon's story about the bucks he's written about, how he became the Editor in Chief of North American Whitetail Magazine, and the likelihood of him joining us again on the Big Buck Podcast. We know that this interview just scratches the surface, but we learned a ton and you will too.

Mike Adams is affectionately known to his outdoor podcasting peers as the "Godfather". Rightfully so, he's been podcasting since 2007 which was before the concept of the podcast hit mainstream. Mike has been through life's ups and downs since the inception of the Up North Journal podcast, but he's still going strong after re-inventing and re-energizing the show a few times over the years. If you are in the outdoor podcast genre or are thinking about starting your own, then this is a show for you.   IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:   Father's Day with the "Godfather" 2007 Podcasting When Podcasting Wasn't Cool A Son Who Wants to Duck Hunt Joe Duckworth - Huncast Something Is Missing...

Lots of things have changed since the Pope and Young Club formed in 1961. Once the compound bow was thought to be taboo, but today it's old news. New rules might now make that once ineligible buck a state record and dwindling hunter numbers is a major concern. Jim Willems speaks to us about all things Pope and Young on this show: from the origins of the club, to the myths that circulate in the general hunting community, to new more flexible rules, to the use of electronic technology, to the club's biggest challenges, to the ultimate mission of the group.  Jim even takes us on a hunt in Kansas where he passes up 18 P&Y bucks before finding the one he was looking for during a 3 week hunt it the fall of 2014.

Did you know that England has 6 species of deer? And, that technically, because of how the antler growing season falls for one of the species, that you can hunt deer all year round? Yep, it's true. These are just a couple of the facts that we learned. We interview Matt Goodlife, a game management specialist, to figure out what deer hunting is like in England and to explore the similarities and differences between hunting in the United States and hunting across the pond.

From a very early age Melissa Bachman was introduced to the hunting lifestyle. It was not uncommon to find Melissa in a hunting stand or a goose blind before school when she was a teenager and it wasn't long after that when Melissa knew that she wanted to hunt for a living. There were challenges along the way and many people told Melissa that it couldn't be done. Today, she is living the life she intended to live. And, she has become the major target of some of the most high profile anti-hunters in the world. Melissa tells her story about how she got to where she is today and how to deal with the passive aggressive anti-hunter to the extremist.

We love great deer hunters. Shocker there right?! We found another great hunter to interview and his numerous wall hangers set the stage. We learn from Jim Snow how he strategizes and plans for hunts and how Jim successfully kills big whitetail bucks. And get this: Jim also invented theEuroHanger. After killing so many great bucks and loving the European mount, Jim developed a device specifically for hanging deer mounts securely to the wall. Stay tuned! This is a good one!

What do you get when you cross a fashion model, poker tour player, pilot, and double psychology major with a music star?  You get a hunting show called Brotherhood Outdoors TV of course. Makes perfect sense! Traveling so much for hunting that they often aren't sure which state they are in, Julie McQueen and Daniel Lee Martin are the core of Brotherhood Outdoors TV and Backstage and Backroads Production. They are fun loving, hard core hunters that love being role models for the outdoors and putting it all on television.  Yet, they have a serious side and they ARE NOT afraid to make fun of themselves, which means they are down to earth (which we love!) We get down to the roots of hunting with Julie and Dan in this show and find out how they came to find an outdoor lifestyle over everything else. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: Daddy Bodies Where in the World are Julie and Dan? The Campground and a 23 Hour Drive Ford F-250 and A Giant 3rd Wheel, Look Out Subarus, Home Away from Home A House Somewhere and Never Ther

We thought we'd mix it up a little this week and talk turkey, seeing that we're right in the midst of turkey season nationwide (yes- we know it's over in parts of the deep South). Don't get us wrong, we're talking deer hunting too, but mostly turkey. We feel that in order to be a good deer hunter you should also strive to be a good turkey hunter, specifically because being in the woods in the spring can hone your woodsman skills and often reveal new deer travel corridors.  We could think of no better guest for this task than fellow podcaster Andy Gagliano. Andy is the Turkey Hitman (see Twitter Handle) and one of the most talented turkey hunters we know- he's completed multiple Grand Slams. Andy won't admit that he's as good as he is, but we know better. He's also a darn good deer hunter. When Andy isn't turkey hunting you can generally find him interviewing other turkey hunters for his podcast, trying to learn from them to constantly sharpen the mental aspects of the turkey hunt.  HERE'S WHAT WE DISCUSS IN

Why were 12 deer found dead near a feeding station in New Hampshire during the late winter months earlier this year? We find out why when we speak with Dan Bergeron, a biologist with New Hampshire Fish and Game and the NH Deer Project Leader. We discuss this, feeding deer in deep snow, the state of fish and game departments, why New Hampshire is considering cancelling their moose hunt, and can big antlered deer grow routinely in climates like New Hampshire?  Here's What We Discuss in the Episode: The Elephant in the Room- 12 Dead Deer Field Necropsy, No Sign of Predation Fat Checks, Trauma Checks, Bloody Diarrhea No Pletted Scat and Intestines Corn, Pelleted Feed, Hay and the State Veterinarian Enterotoximia, High Carbs Feed, Sudden Introductions Woody Browse, Stomach Enzymes and Bacteria 48" of Snow and Rabies, Killy Deer Unintentionally Is there Better Deer Food to Feed Deer?

Meet Kirsten Godfrey, one of the most passionate outdoor personalities we've ever met. Go to any outdoor show and there's a good chance that Kirsten is there rubbing elbows with some of the biggest names in the industry and pitching products that she loves to end buyers. The charm is real, but don't let the photo shoot photos fool you. Kirsten is hardcore. When she's not at a show, you will find her working hard and getting dirty preparing food plots for deer hunting, prepping for a turkey hunt, or casting a line. She doesn't stop engaging in the outdoors, ever. She's our kind of people. We find out what makes Kirsten tick.

After hunting a double drop tine for 3+ years only to find out that a neighboring hunter shot it before you did, might break most hunters and send them packing for next year. Not Bill Wilson though. Bill stuck it out and because of his persistence; deer hunting Ohio all the way through mid-January, Bill managed to hunt and kill the biggest buck of his life. A buck even bigger than the one he'd been chasing for three seasons. Persistence pays off! HERE'S WHAT WE DISCUSS ON THIS EPISODE: Hunting around Akron Ohio Turkey Season is HERE!
