In this episode of the Bucks of America Podcast, I sit down with Harry, the founder of Maniac Outdoors. For decades, the deer industry has leaned on salt-heavy attractants, but Harry took a different path. With a background in plumbing and a passion for whitetails, he built a company focused on herd health, gut biology, and long-term conservation. We dig into the science behind his products, the challenges of bucking tradition, and what it means for the future of hunting.

That’s a wrap for this episode of the Bucks of America Podcast—where tradition meets grit, and every story brings us closer to the wild. If you liked what you heard, please leave a review, follow us, and share it with your hunting buddies.

In this episode, I sit down with Brady Malone—better known as “Crypto Jesus.” They dive into everything from the future of decentralized finance to the hands-on reality of shooting a .308 on a Driftless bluff. They cover 3D-printed firearms, hunting culture, land ownership, and the growing disconnect between tech and tradition. It’s part campfire chat, part social commentary, and all real. Unfiltered, unscripted, and unmistakably Bucks of America.

In this episode of the Bucks of America Podcast, we sit down with Ray Howell—hunter, powerlifter, and founder of Kicking Bear Ministries. Ray opens up about the hardships that forged him: childhood trauma, forgiveness, and the mentors who shaped his journey. From building a multimillion-dollar business to walking away and serving a higher calling, this is a raw and honest look at purpose, grit, and faith. We talk bows, bruises, and the burden—and blessing—of living for something bigger than yourself.

In this episode of Bucks of America Podcast, we dive into a wide-ranging campfire conversation that stretches from bow setups and bourbon to fatherhood and faith. It’s a raw, real look at modern manhood—raising daughters, processing deer, and navigating a world that seems hellbent on rushing past the important stuff. We talk hunting tactics, the beauty of homemade whiskey traditions, and the growing call to get back to what matters: family, food, and living deliberately. Pull up a seat. This one’s worth the listen.

In this episode recorded on-site at Mission 38, I sit down with Jeremy Fischer, the mind behind the Toxon App, to talk shop about archery, the people behind the bow, and the grit it takes to build something from the ground up. From the club-based shoot at Blackhawk Archers to bowfishing paddlefish in South Dakota, we cover it all—faith, family, and finding your way through the weeds of life and technology.

You’ll hear stories of broken bows, lost arrows, and a whole lot of camaraderie. We get real about injury, recovery, and what it means to pass on a legacy—whether that’s through your kids, your club, or your code. If you’ve ever believed that archery is more than a sport—it’s a community—this one’s for you.

In this episode of the Bucks of America Podcast, Jeff sits down with Rick Parks, a man whose life has been shaped by the rhythms of rural Wisconsin, the lessons of the outdoors, and the sacred responsibility of mentorship. Rick opens up about the early influences that led him into the woods, the values passed down through generations, and the importance of forging real connections through archery and hunting.

This isn’t just a conversation about deer season—it’s about legacy, faith, family, and the kind of quiet leadership that’s grown, not made. Whether you're a seasoned bowhunter or someone who just appreciates the power of a well-lived story, this one's for you.
