Today I’m joined by my buddy Mario Trafficante from the Hunting Beast. Mario is one of my favorite people to chop it up with. We have a lot in common beyond hunting, and those commonalities bleed into our approaches to hunting. Sometimes things don’t play out like we intend, and the path less traveled is what ultimately fills your tag. Being open to those twists of fate and being willing to indulge them can make all the difference. I hope you all dig the conversation as much as I did - thanks for listening.

Today on the podcast I’m joined by my buddy Sam Ubl. Sam has been hunting public and by permission land, and using water access way before it was “cool.” Sam has a DIY mentality, where there’s a will there’s a way. This approach came from trudging through the swamps of Wisconsin with his dad as a youngster, where sometimes making your own water access skis were a necessity to cross the marsh, reeds and bog. Now…with a camera in hand you can see Sam and his crew at work on Chase Nation. This conversation was a long time coming, and hope you all enjoy it as much as I did - thanks for listening.

EP. 386: The Importance Of Water Access | Sam Ubl | Chase Nation

Today on the podcast I’m joined by my buddy Cody Schleich. I’m always looking to meet guys who embrace the challenge of hunting big woods and hill country. Cody is one of those guys who is a calculated and aggressive grinder hunting mature bucks in rugged terrain. Hunting mature bucks ithese areas can sometimes feel like finding a needle in a haystack to get an opportunity…and it often ends in heartbreak. But when it comes together, you’d be hard pressed to find a more gratifying feeling. Awesome conversation with a heck of a woodsman and fell and I hope you all dig the conversation as much as I did - thanks for listening.

EP. 385: Hunting Hidden Bucks | Hill Country Bucks | Cody Schleich

Today on the podcast I’m joined by my buddy Tony Peterson. In today’s episode we dive into how at times, removing your ego …or adding a little ego can make all the difference in your hunting success. Go overboard and you’ve probably missed something…not enough and you may not take that leap your gut is telling you to that would lead you to killing that mature buck. Truth is, it’s a balancing act. Just like when to believe hot sign..and when to walk right past it. Awesome chat with Tony as always - thanks for listening.

EP. 384:  Using Ego To Create Better Hunts | When To Hunt Hot Sign | Tony Peterson

Today on the podcast I’m joined by my buddy Dan Johnson. If you’re anything like Dan and I (and all of you out there juggling family, work and other responsibilities), it seems like our time gets more limited every year. Whether by choice or out of necessity, efficiency is the name of the game. Gone are the days of having all the time in the world to scout or hunt endlessly. Or have all puzzle pieces to the chess match. Now we rely on past experiences to fill in the gaps and make quick decisions. Whether that’s when to move, when to hunt, what cold fronts to hunt or…if you’re better served knowing out that honey do list this week vs hunting. All of these decisions come a little quicker with a little more accuracy with experience. Always a good hang with Dan, hope you all dig the chat - thanks for listening.

EP. 383: Becoming A More Efficient Hunter | Dan Johnson

Today on the podcast I’m joined by my buddy Brandon Barlow. Brandon hunts public and small permission parcels in the south. As a native New Yorker he's had to adapt his hunting approach from relying on the historical calendar dates of good whitetail hunting...to now using long-term data to keep him in the game as his season is much longer. And the deer seem to have a much broader breeding window within specific pockets. He runs 100+ cameras a year and has been able to glean some pretty interesting observations. I'm a long-term data guy myself and I was looking forward to picking up a few new nuggets of insight for myself - thanks for listening.
