In Episode 32 of the DroneOn Show, host Mike sits down with Kirk Price, a West Virginia-based hunter, YouTuber, and outdoor enthusiast who tagged out early during Ohio's gun week. They kick things off with a wild story from opening morning: using a thermal drone to spot a trespasser on leased land, complete with a suspicious white truck sporting a Yeti sticker and no hunter orange in sight—leading to a full video reveal on both channels. Kirk shares his journey from filming silly backyard videos as a kid to building a massive YouTube following, including his viral hit featuring a bear born without front arms that's still thriving in the wild. The conversation dives into bear hunting with hounds in rugged West Virginia terrain, drone regulations for scouting and recoveries (including chats with wardens about filming hunts), and why bear meat gets a bad rap—plus Kirk's favorite recipes like Instant Pot roasts and bear burgers that prove it's delicious when prepped right. They touch on everything from Amish diners and thermal drone tips to Kirk's sports fandom and his take on not naming wildlife to avoid humanizing them. If you're into real hunting tales, drone tech in the field, and wild game cooking, this one's a must-listen.
