Ron Spomer Outdoors

Welcome to the Ron Spomer Outdoors Podcast! Can you really tame the beast that is the .460 Weatherby Magnum? And do gun companies release new cartridges just to keep YouTubers talking? In this episode, we dive into the power and potential of the .460 Wby Mag while tackling the debate on whether the endless stream of new cartridges is innovation or just marketing hype. Tune in for a no-nonsense discussion on big recoil and big industry trends!

Who is Ron Spomer

For 44 years I’ve had the good fortune to photograph and write about my passion – the outdoor life. Wild creatures and wild places have always stirred me – from the first flushing pheasant that frightened me out of my socks in grandpa’s cornfield to the last whitetail that dismissed me with a wag of its tail. In my attempts to connect with this natural wonder, to become an integral part of our ecosystem and capture a bit of its mystery, I’ve photographed, hiked, hunted, birded, and fished across much of this planet. I've seen the beauty that everyone should see, survived adventures that everyone should experience. I may not have climbed the highest mountains, canoed the wildest rivers, caught the largest fish or shot the biggest bucks, but I’ve tried. Perhaps you have, too. And that’s the essential thing. Being out there, an active participant in our outdoor world.
