EP. 289: Hard Access Equals Big Bucks | Kentucky & Indiana Hammers
22/06/2022 Duration: 01h39minToday on the podcast I’m joined by Jacob Emery. Jacob’s from Kentucky and has a no nonsense refreshing approach to hunting. He broke a 3 year drought in style with two public land hammers…one in Kentucky and one In Indiana. Both relied on hunting hard to reach areas that required water access. Even still…the water access wasn’t a nice Sunday paddle. Most wouldn’t even go into to hunt these areas. As the work to get a deer out required transferring deer to boat, from boat to ground, move boat around log jam, drag buck back to boat…reload buck in boat…and continue paddling. I really enjoyed this conversation and hope you all do too - thanks for listening! To listen to the podcast click the purple play button at the top of the page.

EP. 288: Killing A Target Buck & Drifting Tracks | Justin Hollandsworth
15/06/2022 Duration: 01h41minToday on the podcast I’m joined by Justin Hollandsworth. Justin is a legit big buck killer from Ohio. His consistency of taking a target buck and surgically removing him from the landscape is second to few. What I like most about Justin's approach is his lifelong commitment to continue learning the craft of bowhunting. A new trick or tactic can come from anywhere...experienced hunters or the newbie who is resurfacing something you've maybe placed in the back of your mind. Or maybe paying attention to how coon dogs drift a track...is the big deer you're after drifting your track? I hope you dig the conversation as much as I did - thanks for listening!

EP. 287: 3 W's For Killing Better Bucks
08/06/2022 Duration: 01h38minToday on the podcast I’m joined by my buddy Josh Profit. Josh is one of the hardest working public land hunters I’ve ever met. The amount of miles this guy puts on scouting/hunting is borderline absurd. It’s paid off over the years in taking 12 public land bucks in a span of 15 years. He’s lives and dies by his 3 W’s of whitetail hunting. Hope you all dig the session as much as I did - thanks for listening!

EP. 282: Wilderness Survival & Preparedness | Kevin Estela
04/05/2022 Duration: 01h15minToday on the podcast I’m joined by Kevin Estela from Fieldcraft Survival. Kevin is a wilderness survival and bushcraft expert and is the Director of Training at Fieldcraft Survival. As I’m preparing for an elk hunt in Grizzly country this fall, preparedness and survival has been on my mind. Truthfully, the events of the past 2 years should have everyone thinking about how prepared they are if they need to go it alone, or secure their loved ones for a period of time. I began reading Kevin’s book “101 Skills You Need To Survive In The Woods” and wanted to learn straight from the source. Kevin has a great way of teaching and communicating that comes natural and made this conversation one of my favorites to date. Hope you all dig it as much as I did - thanks for listening!

EP. 281: Earning Your Hunt | Jake Downs
27/04/2022 Duration: 02h08minToday on the podcast I’m joined by Jake Downs. Jake is one of those guys folks may not be aware of, but the guy has put more tags on critters than anyone I can think of. Everything from Brown bear and Bison with traditional archery equipment, to grueling sheep hunts. In a day and age where it seems hunters are divided by nearly everything from weapon of choice to public vs private hunting vs outfitter vs guided etc., Jake enjoys all forms…kills in all forms…and makes no apologies.

EP. 277: Hunting Mature Bucks & Assuming I'm Always Wrong | Joe Rentmeester
06/04/2022 Duration: 01h41minToday on the podcast I’m joined by my Joe Rentmeester. Many of you probably know Joe from the Hunting Beast or the Hunting Public's Public Land Challenge. Joe is one of those guys who seems to have a habit of finding, and killing mature deer...even in hard to hunt places. More than that, what I appreciate most is his insatiable need to continue learning...and questioning every piece of sign or intel he sees. I think his approach to assume his assumptions are incorrect until proven otherwise is why he's so successful. He's never closed off from new possibilities...or afraid to be wrong. This approach often end with a mature buck on the ground and a new mount on the wall for Joe. I really dug this conversation and hope you do too - thanks for listening!

EP. 275: Don't Bug-Out
30/03/2022 Duration: 01h12minToday on the podcast I’m joined by my Chris Derrick. Chris is the Whitetail Product Manager at Sitka gear. Today however, we are talking about the new turkey vest they recently launched along with their Equinox Guard gear. If avoiding ticks and mosquitos while you hunt is something that interests you...then these new Equinox Guard pieces are gong to be right up your alley. Personally I hunt a lot of swampy/buggy areas...and am good for a handful of tick bites a year even if I spray down. Ticks are my least favorite part of spring or early fall hunting...or summer scouting. I'm personally always a little nervous about getting a tick related illness. I really enjoyed the conversation, and think it's pretty rad that Sitka is making the effort to provide hunters some protection from ticks and related illnesses by building solutions into their gear.

EP. 270: Killing Next Year's Buck w/ This Year's Sheds
23/02/2022 Duration: 01h52minToday on the podcast I’m joined by my buddy Troy Pottenger. As a reminder, Troy is hunting some of the hardest to kill whitetails in the mountains of Idaho. He's not the only predator in the mountains, where deer are more often hunting by mountain lions, wolves and Grizzly. Few mistakes can be made, and Troy has to really be dialed in. What's more, he usually is hunting a specific buck. Hard enough to accomplish in the best of circumstances. For Troy, shed hunting isn't just something to do to pass the time during winter and spring. It's a key puzzle piece to determine when and where he may kill his next wall hanger.
