We kick things off by talking whitetails with RealTree.com’s Will Brantley. His recent blog entry “Deer Hunters: We’re Killing Ourselves” really got me thinking about the often unpleasant exchanges between deer hunters. Stand placement, fence lines, and a litany of other topics often lead to disagreements. Also, it seems like deer hunters often times aren’t happy for each other when one hunter harvests an exceptional buck. Why has negative feedback and responses become the norm? Will might not have all the answers but he does bring up a valid point that this behavior gives the entire sport a black eye.

We round things out when commercial fisherman Mike Johnson stops by talk about the new show Bottom Feeders on Outdoor Channel which chronicles the adventures and lives of Mike and 2 other fisherman who battle the Mighty Mississippi day in and day out in search of rough fish like carp and buffalo. Interesting stuff for sure! Mike- also known as “The Scrapper”.
