Not Your Average Joe…and Dad

Joe and Dad recap their 2025/26 hunting season, covering trips from Alabama and Mississippi to Texas and Montana. Highlights include a record whitetail in Texas, a solo mule deer hunt in Montana, several bucks and does taken in Mississippi, some missed shots and long tracks, and an overall season of memorable moments.

They also preview upcoming turkey season, talk gear (shotguns and red dots), and share plans for processing meat and making sausage, jerky and more. Expect next week’s episode to dive into turkey setups and tips.

In this episode Joe and Dad casually recap the tail end of their deer hunting season, which closed on January 31st. After a cold snap and tough sits with minimal afternoon action, Dad scores a impressive 10-point buck on Thursday, January 29th, at close range (85 yards) with his 300 Win Mag using Federal Terminal Ascent bullets—resulting in a quick, bloody recovery trail and an exciting find of a tall, mass-heavy deer. Joe joins for the track but doesn't bag another despite grinding the final days; they miss a last-second dark-horned deer at 5:59 PM on Saturday. Amid banter about storytelling order, oversleeping, an ice storm cleanup, transitioning to baseball (new camo bat wraps), and prepping for turkey season (rereading classics like *Tenth Legion*), Dad declares it one of his best seasons ever for memories and camaraderie rather than just harvests. They tease a full recap next, mention Dad's upcoming Alabama hunt extension, share dad jokes, a turkey tip (good cover is key), and encourage subscriptions as they near their podcast's one-year anniversary.

Joe and Dad recap a quick two-day trip to a 150-acre property in Alabama’s lower Black Belt: checking out food plots, setting cameras, and hunting where massive scrapes showed promise.

They describe close encounters from a shaky ladder stand, numerous does and small bucks, a last-light eight-point, and a surprising turkey yelp — plus plans for habitat improvements and more scouting next season.

Between hunts they explore a small-town hardware store, deal with a strange roadside encounter, and wrap up with baseball practice notes, training bat gear, and hitting tips.

Celebrating episode 20 and closing in on 500 YouTube subscribers, Joe and Dad catch up on recent weeks, channel updates, and short videos including a suppressor review.

They recap hunting: a recently slow deer season in warm weather, a long-range doe shot, plenty of squirrels, sparse ducks on public hunts, and the shift to turkey season.

Upcoming plans include a public duck hunt, an Alabama trip to scout land, baseball practice, Montana Knife Company events, family visits, and continuing the podcast as a memory log.

Joe and Dad record a truck talk episode covering a slow deer season caused by warm weather, a close-but-missed long-range shot, and the excitement of a piebald buck Joe almost bags after tracking a challenging blood trail. They also celebrate a memorable Christmas, unexpected YouTube traction for hunting videos, new gifts like a Nintendo Switch 2 and airsoft Glock, and share hunting tips, upcoming duck draws, and plans for more YouTube content.

Hosts Joe and Dad recap a busy week of Mississippi hunting during a cold snap: fast-moving deer runs, a surprise 10-point taken at the pipeline, and a long-range 6.5 PRC shot later tracked and recovered with dogs.

They discuss setups, shot analysis using 4K footage, gear adjustments, processing meat, and remind hunters to respect wind conditions.

Welcome back to another episode of Not Your Average Joe and Dad.  Over the past two weeks they canned bone stock, dealt with a slow deer season thanks to heavy acorn drops, and shared a successful doe harvest. They traveled to a massive Mississippi Delta camp where muddy conditions, a shooting-house hunt, a missed doe shot, and a wild pig encounter led to a downed hog and plenty of stories. The episode wraps with gear notes, shout-outs, and plans to keep hunting as the season heats up.

Dad and son recap their youth-season hunting trip: picking up and sighting-in a new Seekins Element Hunter 6.5 PRC, a four-wheeler fire scare, range testing, and the suspenseful evening shot where Joe bags his first doe of the season after an intense tracking search.

The episode covers gear notes (scope, ammo, triggers), hunting strategy and lessons learned about shot timing and tracking, plus a few side stories—trail cams, a vintage guitar find, and plans for more weekly hunting updates.

A rookie wanna be elk hunter drives from the Mississppi to Montana on an elk/deer combo tag, faces weather and long hikes, and chases mule deer and elk across wild country.

After delays, vehicle trouble, and several close encounters, he finally takes a running mule deer, processes it on the hill, and packs it out with a friend — wrapping up a memorable two‑week adventure.

Recorded outdoors while seam‑sealing a tent, this episode follows Dad, and Joe through a jam‑packed Texas hunting trip — from a surprising blackjack win and Scheel’s shopping to scouting, high‑fence stands and dove shooting.

The heart of the story is Dad’s 40th‑birthday hunt: an unforgettable sit among an ocean of deer, a shaky shot at a massive mainframe 10, a dog‑led blood trail and a dramatic recovery. The episode closes with reflections on high‑fence ethics, gear/bullet choices, and plans for future hunts.
