I was sitting in the duck blind with my brother and a friend last weekend and went to post a story to Instagram. Unfortunately, my page (with 145,000 followers) had been disabled by Instagram in the middle of the night. It's [...]
Alaskan Governor Mike Dunleavy wasn't hard to find at the SCI Convention in Las Vegas, I simply looked for the tallest guy in the room. Once I found the governor, he was more than willing to carve out a few minutes [...]

It was a normal morning in the whitetail woods for bowhunter Justin Swift when one miss step nearly cost him his life. However, quick thinking and a quick response by local emergency personnel ultimately left him with a hell of a [...]
Bigger deer have been killed, but none bigger have ever been killed by a female bowhunter. I'm thrilled to have Kassandra Agarand join the show from Saskatchewan this week to tell us all about this amazing buck she affectionately nicknamed 'Hobo'. [...]
I'll be the first to admit that I don't know jack squat about surfing. However, it's something that has always fascinated me from an onlooker standpoint. When a mutual friend introduced me to professional big wave surfer Mark Healey with a [...]

I've been to South Africa's Eastern Cape five times since it last saw decent rainfall. That all changed recently when the heavens opened up. While certainly needed, it came with a price as fences washed away, animals drowned and tank dams [...]

When I heard that the Wisconsin DNR was telling hunters to wear a mask when cleaning dead deer this fall I honestly didn't know whether to laugh or cringe. Sounds like more fear mongering regarding the pandemic that has altered all [...]
I've shot Kent waterfowl loads since I was in college. When the opportunity to work with a brand I already used and trusted came up 4 years ago, of course I jumped at the opportunity. It was awesome to have Kent [...]

Glad to have SCI Government Affairs Director Ben Cassidy jump back on for this episode of Campfire Conversations. The title of the episode pretty much sums up the talking points. It's infuriating how the animal rights activists slip this kind of [...]
Episode 597 was one of the most fun discussions I've had in some time. It's always a treat to have world renowned big game hunter and adventurer Corey Knowlton in the studio. This week, his friend and Jim Shockey's cameraman of [...]
