  • Ep. 15: Hunting Off Big Sign

    Many new hunters will have a tendency to hunt directly over the biggest rub or scrape they can find and sometimes that works out. Many times though the best sign found is in a location where the deer has all the advantage and the hunter will get picked off before he ever sees the buck. That's where you have to learn to hunt off the big sign sometimes in an area that seems void of deer sign all together, but it's not. The subtle sign can and will lead you to the spot within the spot, where you can have some advantage and kill that buck of a life time.

  • Ep. 14: 2024 Whitetail Loadout & Mobile Hunting Considerations

    Bryce and Alex talk gear. Over the years, we have both made some significant changes in our whitetail loadouts. Those changes come with lethality and efficiency in mind. Next to that and probably more importantly is what you need to bring to stay alive when the shit hits the fan. Around 1:10 we go down a wind, scent, and thermal discussion that while brief is worth a listen and probably warrants its own discussion at some point.

  • Ep. 12: Taking the Leap_Archery and Bowhunting W/ John Coiro
    John is hands down the most stand up, genuine dude I’ve ever met, and he is an archery wizard that also happens to love hunting. All to often do we spend hard earned money at a big box store of bow distributor and leave there only to later learn the bow was never turned right for you. This only leads to frustration both in practice and in the field when the moment counts. Finding the right bow tech for you is critical to ensuring archery and bow hunting continues to be a passion. What to expect in this episode:
    -What the right bow for you is
    -Setting up your first bow
    -What you need VS what you don't
    -What a shop should do for you upon purchase
    -Industry SNAKE OILS
    -Archery and the pursuit of self improvement
    -Deer Stuff
