The crew had the opportunity to go to the Total Archery Challenge in Glenwood Springs, Colorado this year. Just like the many years before, this was a blast. The first night we were there, Chad, Tyler and myself sat down and recorded a podcast. We talked about the TAC event, archery hunting, and shared some great stories around the coffee table.

Listen along as we share tips, tactics and stories about the event.

I had the chance to meet Nate in the Dallas airport when he was on his way to open for Martina McBride. He was such a cool dude and a fellow hunter. I knew I had to have him on the podcast and talk music, hunting, family, and everything in between. That's exactly what we did. Make sure and give Nate's music a listen. He's an amazing musician, guitarists, songwriter, vocalist, and an all-around cool guy!

In this episode, Chad and I break down what gear you need to go hunting. We start with a first time hunter and go through the basics that you need to hunt and camp. Then we work through more advanced (expensive) items as you start to invest more into the passion. We share gear that we've used that has worked, as well as gear that hasn't worked so well.

If you have hunts coming up, now is the time to be looking at what optics you need. In this podcast, Chad and I switch roles. He asks me the questions about different optics. We talk everything from binoculars, spotting scopes, range finders, rifle scopes, and much more. We get into the details about many of the optics out there, as well as some high level overview of others. If you need helping getting an optic, please feel free to reach out. We'd love to help get you set up.

The more I get into archery, the more addicted I become. Luckily, Chad has experienced the same addiction I have, and we dive more into that addiction every day.

In today's podcast we talk about the plans we have for this coming hunting season. What tags we've drawn, which states we're hunting, and we talk about the details of those hunts. We also get into a conversation of why archery is so addicting. From TAC to hunting, we love shooting our bows!

Ever since I was a young boy, I dreamed of traveling around the world in pursuit of animals I had only seen in pictures and videos. At the top of that list was to go to New Zealand and hunt red stag.

My dreams came true recently as I was able to travel with my wife and good friends to New Zealand. We went with Shane Quinn's Alpine Hunting New Zealand, and we had the trip of a lifetime.

In today's podcast, Chad and I recap our experience hunting red stag in NZ. We share insightful tips for those out there that also have a red stag on their hunting bucket list.
