On this week's Hunt the World podcast Brian and Brad answer one of our listener questions - "in what states should I begin building points and what states should I avoid?" Derek Robinson will have a Rolling Bones t-shirt and cap coming his way as a thank you for asking a question that made it into an episode. If you have questions send them to [email protected] and you could win also!

Before 2021 RBO Platinum member Chad Carpenter had never hunted big game. He grew up in Nebraska and hunted a little pheasant but nothing serious. But then, this father of six, was prodded by one of his boys to go deer hunting. He signed up with Rolling Bones and the rest is history. Chad is one of our 2024 Platinum draw winners who chose a free guided hunt in New Zealand where he harvested a 600"+ trophy Red Stag, Arapawa Ram, and Fallow Deer. On this Hunt the World episode Chad tells his story to Brian and Brad - how he took each step on his journey to becoming a world-class hunter in three short years. Thank you for listening!

On this week's Hunt the World podcast from Rolling Bones Outdoors, Brian and Brad recount their adventure hunt in New Zealand - which RBO offers in its hunt catalog.

Come along on the journey which would offer a perfect his and hers adventure opportunity. As always we thank you sincerely for listening and ask you to help us grow our audience by sharing the podcast with friends and family. Thank you!

Often overlooked when considering adventure hunting is black bear. On this Hunt the World podcast from Rolling Bones Outdoors, RBO advisor Dr. Blake Kramer, takes us along on a black bear hunt in Idaho. It's one of several bear hunts that Blake has been on over the years and he talks about why you should not overlook this species - especially in the lower 48 states.

Nick has one of the top operations for world-class pheasant hunters in east central South Dakota and he joins Brian and Brad to describe what a pheasant hunter can expect. RBO is also offering a hosted hunt with our staff this fall and six spots are available.

In a memorable hunting adventure this spring Brian Mehmen had the opportunity to travel to scenic British Columbia and hunt prime territory for black bear with a few of his best Muscatine, Iowa, buddies: Brian Wolfe, Troy Fridley and Steve Harding - a.k.a. "The River Boys." Each hunter had two tags on this six-day adventure that was filled with ups and downs, as you'll hear. Thank you as always for listening and please share the podcast with family or friends to help get the word out.

We are pleased to announce that RBO member Chris Thomas of Oklahoma is the winner of a free hunt through our annual membership draw. Chris will be headed to New Zealand for a little red stag action and a chance for a few additional species in this package hunt. All hunting expenses paid! Not bad for someone who's never even won so much as a can cozi before (according to Chris)! What we didn’t know is that it has always been Chris’ dream hunt to head to New Zealand to hunt red stag! Chris joins Brian and Brad today to talk about the upcoming experience.
