The recipe for tagging big, mature whitetails year after year is a hard one to crack. It takes patience, consistency, discipline and a little bit of luck to bring it all together, and Emily Schaad is no stranger to any of that. Emily has been hunting big Ohio whitetails for years, mostly off of permission pieces and now her own recent land acquisition only adds to her future opportunities. Emily talks with us about her mindset behind hunting big deer, what makes a mature buck, scouting strategies, what she does when she loses a buck in prime time, and much more! This is an episode for all the whitetail enthusiasts out there, and those dedicated to playing that game with big, mature bucks!

What is a good camo pattern? Is there such a thing as a bad one? "The Theory of Camouflage" sums up the general topic we're seeking to break down in this week's episode. Joined once again by special guest and military veteran Mike Behrens, podcast host Sam leads detailed conversation over the very important, yet sometimes overlooked topic of concealment and stealth. The two talk about general camo patterns and the importance of shade, color and shape over leaf, grass and tree. They talk about the evolution of patterns in both the hunting industry and the military, and many areas where the two overlap. The conversation naturally holds some entertaining stories from the deer woods, including a look back to Sam's biggest buck to date from 10 years ago when he was wearing blue jeans, a sweatshirt, and simply sitting on a ridge!

Are you paying attention? Do you keep up with the "political landscape" as it relates to hunting, fishing and the outdoors? Politics has always been something podcast host Sam Thrash tries to steer clear of while on-the-air, but in this episode we get him to crack that door open a little bit. Mike Behrens is this week's guest, and he and Sam dive in deep covering some current events that "could" impact hunters under certain circumstances. This rich conversation continues to discuss the positive environmental impacts of hunting and/or the lack thereof, the Pittman Robertson Act, predator control, private and public land conservation, predator control, and so much more! They drive home the importance for ALL to reach out to your local officials, representatives, and organizations to best help impact and preserve hunting and the outdoors for all who love it, and the importance for us as hunters to uphold a professional and civil image as true conservationists. Don't skip this episode!

Thunderchicken's are dropping, and the Tepe's made quick work of their season! Michael an his wife Sydney join us this week to recap their stellar start to the year. With access to multiple different properties in their area, it was only a matter of time before they got on a bird. But for a family of 5, a sudden change in babysitter plans can mess up a hunting plan. Nevertheless, they adjusted, and the results spoke for themselves. We also catch up with Sydney and learn more about her background, including how her outdoor-obsessed husband helped fuel her interest in hunting.

Turkey season is here! And man did it start off with a bang! A couple of them actually. We catch up with Todd after his trip to the Southeast for the GA turkey opener with Staffer Kendra DeBerry. The two teamed up in this year's Turkey Hunt Competition, and kicked things off with some bad weather and aggressive tactics. Kendra's tenure as a turkey hunter and experienced caller turned their luck for the better, and it wasn't long before Todd was looking at a respectable gobbler! The story doesn't end there, as Kendra's son Ethan also put a hunter on a nice bird! It's safe to say this year there wasn't much fool'n around in Georgia on April 1st...
