In this episode of the HUNTR Podcast, we sit down with Dustin Diefenderfer—founder of MTNTOUGH and a guy who’s built his life around chasing hard things in the mountains. Dustin’s not just a trainer or a business guy—he’s a diehard hunter who understands what it really takes to perform when it matters most. We get into his journey from the backcountry of Montana to building one of the most respected training platforms in the hunting space. MTNTOUGH wasn’t born in a boardroom—it started behind his house, training hunters in the dirt with a vision to build tougher men, mentally and physically. Huge thanks to Dustin for joining us—it’s an honor to have him on the podcast, and a privilege to now partner with MTNTOUGH. This is a brand we believe in, a mission we’re proud to support, and a standard we’re committed to living by. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

In this episode of the HUNTR Podcast, we sit down with Jarrod Erdody—a guy who deserves more credit than he gets. He’s consistently killing mature bucks and has quietly shaped the way a lot of hunters approach the game today. From overlooked public land marshes to aggressive early-season strikes, Jarrod has built a system that flat-out works. We get into how he’s turned educational hunting strategy into powerful storytelling—and what it’s taken to earn respect in an industry that’s constantly evolving. It was a pleasure talking deer with someone who lives and breathes this pursuit the same way we do. Deer season’s getting closer, and these are the conversations that keep us locked in. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

In this week’s Farm Companion, we’re breaking down the strategy behind holding mature bucks—and it all starts with the work you’re putting in right now. From understanding the unique layout and pressure points of your farm to making smart decisions with food, cover, and access, this is where the season begins. It’s about dialing in the details, refining habitat, and giving deer every reason to stick around. Every property has its own challenges, but the mission stays the same: create a place mature bucks want to call home. We’re not just putting in time—we’re building the season from the ground up. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

In this week’s Farm Companion, we’re putting in the work and stacking days with fall on our minds. As we wrap up our summer plots, it’s hard not to start thinking ahead to deer season. In Illinois, we’re locking in the CRP renewal, picking out stand locations, and getting in the mindset of holding mature bucks. Meanwhile, in Ohio, the grind doesn’t stop—we’re fine-tuning every inch of ground that could turn into a hot spot. Fall plots are up next, and every move we make now is about tipping the odds in our favor when that first buck steps out. Deer season’s coming fast—and we’re making sure these farms are ready. We hope you guys enjoy this series as much as we do. We live this every day, thinking about hunting season 365 days a year, putting in the work to set ourselves up for whitetail success this fall. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

It’s that time of year where the farm never slows down — drills in the ground, sprayers running, and stands getting hung one by one. We’re deep in the grind, stacking good decisions now so we’re ready when deer season hits.

In this Farm Companion, we’re working ground, putting in summer cover, dialing in fall food plots, and getting the farm cleaned up and ready to hunt. The to-do list is long, but the payoff is coming. Every seed, every screw in a stand, every lap on the tractor — it’s all for those first sits of the season.

Deer season’s not here yet, but we can feel it. And we’re getting after it.

John’s not just a guy who can shoot lights out—he’s someone who’s built his entire life around teaching others how to be better with a bow and more intentional in the field. We dive into John’s background and how a career on the pro archery circuit evolved into a mission to help hunters shoot with purpose. He breaks down the difference between being a great archer and a great hunter, why understanding that gap matters, and how it can elevate your entire approach in the woods.
