We kick things off with an outdoor quick hit segment focusing on Grizzly reintroduction in Washington State, Peacock Network's new "Queer Planet" documentary and Pennsylvania finally will allow Sunday hunting. You won't believe the "Queer Planet" stuff by they way, it's [...]
My friend Jeff Barstad and I go back about a dozen years. A friendship forged on a thermal hog hunt that lead to shared deer leases and a growing list of international hunting adventures. We take a look back at some [...]
Ryan and Valerie Watson saved their pennies to be able to afford a dream island vacation on the Caribbean Islands of Turks and Caicos. The dream turned into a nightmare, however after 4 loose rounds of 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition was found [...]
Compound vs Crossbow, Bait vs no Bait, Mechanical vs Fixed Blade...these debates continue to rage on within the hunting community. I do believe there's a time and place for healthy debates on such topics. However, when I see hunters continue to [...]
Silencer Central's Brandon Maddox makes his return this week. We discuss the upcoming November election and what that means for the gun industry. We also get into the latest product launches (like the Speed K pictured in this post) and the [...]
When it comes to wild turkeys, few outdoorsmen know more about the birds than Dr. Mike Chamberlain. "The Wild Turkey Doc" makes his return to the show this week with spring turkey seasons opening up all over the Lower 48. We [...]
When I moved to Pnuma in 2021, it felt like home. A Texas based company that offers top quality hunting apparel? One that doesn't look over my shoulder and supports me when I touch the taboo topics other hunting podcasts or [...]
When I first saw the video of thousands upon thousands of snow geese frozen solid on a lake, I was initially shocked. Then I immediately wondered, what happened? It turns out the video I saw is actually one of many like [...]
Hunting Ethics are deeply personal. What some of us deem as kosher or even necessary, others throw shade at. On this week's show I sit down with Outdoor Life contributor Nick Fasciano. After reading his feature on a recent Idaho mule [...]
When people release exotic pets into an environment there are often severe repercussions. If a population is established, the native species always lose. Texas Parks and Wildlife Inland Fisheries Senior Scientist for Aquatic Invasive Species Monica McGarrity joins the show this [...]
I met Sam Mackey in Nashville at the SCI show. We hit it off and ended up smoking a couple cigars afterwards. The natural conversation flow was an easy one, it consisted of hunting, hunting and more hunting. So when [...]
Mixing great pointing dogs with a bird of prey on an upland hunt seems like an odd technique. However, it's one that Tyler Sladen has mastered. The veteran falconer and pointing dog enthusiast uses his dogs to point/flush coveys before releasing [...]
As we've documented on previous episodes, Colorado is attempting to ban ALL mountain lion hunting by ballot initiative this November. The antis have reverted to the same playbook they used to pass wolf reintroduction - let the uneducated and emotionally swayed [...]
Gabriella Hoffman is someone I respect highly and I'm always thrilled to have her join the show. Few folks are more in tune with potential legislative issues that could affect hunters and gun owners than 'Gabby'. The reporter, podcast host, writer [...]
Perhaps no technological advancement has changed the game more than mapping applications over the past decade. From providing valuable property line/landowner data to now being able to predict peak rut dates by region for whitetail deer. Not to mention all the [...]
I truly believe the biggest issue facing American hunters in 2024 will be the Colorado ballot initiative to ban all mountain lion hunting. The animal rights activists earned a major victory in Colorado in 2020 when they won the ballot initiative [...]
Straight walled cartridges have been around for over 150 years. So the technology isn't new, but it has evolved considerably in recent years. That evolution has lead to some state wildlife agencies opening up straight walled specific deer seasons or at [...]
When it comes to whitetail deer, I don't believe you'll find a more controversial topic than Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). On this week's show we sit down with Texas Parks and Wildlife Whitetail Deer Program Lead Alan Cain. I think we [...]
They say most people switch careers 3 times in their lives. I hope that never becomes my reality. It's no secret that I am blessed to get to call hunting and fishing a job. Of course there are the hours upon [...]
New Mexico has long been a place that is near and dear to me. I've backpacked, flyfished and hunted the Sangre De Cristos mountains for over 20 years. So to see a record shattering bull elk come out of the Land [...]
I became aware of Team Endure through a viral deer hunting video I came across a few weeks back. It was of a whitetail buck sliding down a snow covered hill where the hunter clearly had shot the animal from the [...]
Texas Parks and Wildlife Coastal Fisheries Program Leader Robin Reichers makes his return this week. We discuss the latest in saltwater fisheries management pertaining to our most sought after bay species in trout, redfish and flounder. Over the course of my [...]
No hunter, outdoorsman, biologist I've come across dismisses Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) as a made up disease that doesn't affect an infected deer. However, is CWD really the Grim Reaper for deer herds? With Tennessee's state wildlife agency possibly manipulating CWD [...]
