Today I'm joined by Johnathan Moreland from Arkansas. Johnathan is a die hard traditional bowhunter who has put some hammers on his wall...from public, to permission pieces, to private, he is a woodsman thru and thru. His quest for a stick-bow state record was something of a once in a life-time experience (and maybe took years off his life)...the proof is in the video! And what sealed that deers fate, was observing him go back to his bed. Then, to up the stakes the following year, he kills a hammer with a self bow (that he made himself...naturally).

Today 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.

Today 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!

Today 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.

Today 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.

Today 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!

Today 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.

But this time of year I like to reflect on the past season and dissect the good, the bad and the ugly. The goal is to start with an honest assessment of what we need to focus on for the upcoming year to continue to grow as a bowhunters.

Today 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.

Aside from killing West Virginia public land mountain bucks from the ground, Josh is passionate about sharing hunting with anyone who’s interested in learning. This season, he had a front row seat as the bowhunting spark has officially ignited in his son. Sometimes our children (or those younger than us) teach us old dogs tricks we’ve forgotten…or remind us to not take experience for granted. Not to mention, Josh killed a great buck in late season - we talk about all of this. The conversation is always fun with Josh and hope you all enjoy it as much as I did - thanks for listening!

Today on the podcast I'm joined by my buddy Corey McKinney. One of my favorite things about traveling is meeting other hunters, particularly the locals. I met Corey in an Iowa public land parking lot…and then again, appropriately, at Casey’s.

Today on the podcast I'm joined by my Paul Putera. Paul is one of those public land hunters I like to refer to as quiet killers. We all know a few of these guys.

Today on the podcast I'm joined by my buddy Aaron Hepler. Aaron scouts more than most people I know, and it shows in the number of quality encounters he has. This year he had intel on a good buck, but it was in an area that sees a lot of pressure...even during archery season. Aaron was able to find where deer, and this buck in particular, wanted to spend time in daylight once the pressure moved them out of their early season hangouts. Not being deterred by the hunting pressure, and being smarter than the average hunter led to a killer hunt. I'll let Aaron tell the story. Hope you dig the episode - thanks for listening!
