What if the deer call in your pack was built to outlast your truck, your season, and the plastic calls everyone else is still replacing?

Michael Birky, founder of Knowhere Outdoors, breaks down the story behind the IronBuck - the first metal grunt tube designed to solve the problems hunters have dealt with for years.

Birky shares how a devotional for hunters turned into a full product company, why he spent months testing more than 30 prototypes, and how he engineered a call that sounds nothing like the “tin can” skeptics expected.

The result is a premium, modular system built for serious hunters who are tired of broken reeds, frozen calls, and gear that feels disposable.

You'll discover:

• Why the IronBuck uses a heavier reed and metal soundboard to create volume without a harsh metallic tone
• How the long threaded design sets up future accessories like a snort wheeze, doe bleat, fawn distress, and saddle-hunting hook
• What makes the call different from standard plastic grunt tubes in the woods, in the cold, and under real hunting pressure
• Why Birky built the line to be customizable, expandable, and warrantied for the long haul
• 
  

I press on the real questions hunters care about most - noise, freezing, durability, and whether a metal call can actually outperform the plastic staples everyone knows.

If you care about gear that earns a place in your pack, this episode is for you.

Most hunters fall into the trap of overprogramming their strategies—focusing too much on cameras, feed plots, and complex tactics—while missing the simple, effective approaches that actually get big bucks and mature animals. Cody Halbleib and guest Garrett Lehman peel back the curtain on years of experience chasing whitetails and turkeys in PA and New York, revealing how small shifts in scouting, patience, and adaptability can lead to your best season yet.

In this episode, Garrett shares how he consistently finds success by trusting his instincts over camera data, hunting travel routes rather than bedding or feeding areas, and adjusting season dates based on real-world observations. You'll discover why tracking and shed hunting have become gamechangers in his approach; how to interpret sign such as rubs and tracks to identify mature bucks; and why early-season success often hinges on less complicated, more natural strategies. Plus, see how cross-state hunting and late-season tracking sharpen hunter skills and increase your odds of harvesting a big buck.

We also break down the myths about deer behavior—why mature deer often bed near trails and how understanding their natural patterns can elevate your chances—and discuss the critical impact social media has on hunting culture today. Garrett emphasizes that shooting what truly makes you happy, not what others dictate, is the real key to long-term satisfaction and conservation.

With years of experience and a passion for both turkey and big woods hunting, Garrett's insights are a must-listen for serious hunters who want to hunt smarter, adapt faster, and shoot better deer. Whether you're a weekend warrior or a seasoned pro, this episode will challenge your assumptions and inspire your next big adventure.
