Shutters and Shells

What starts as a podcast about the amazing deer on the 10,000 acres of Triple Drop Ranch turned into conversations about photography, deer management, and how podcasting remotely comes with its own sets of laughs.

Had an amazing time speaking with Andrew about his hard work on the family ranch, and I look forward to his photographs every evening. You can check them out yourself on his Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/triple_drop_ranch

I don't know about you, but when I was 16 I wasn't taking photographs nearly as great as Jerry Outterson. However, out in Texas Jerry has embraced the social-distancing of last year as an excuse to spend more time outdoors. The results are nothing short of breathtaking.

Jerry and I spoke about photography, hunting, and the great outdoors in this hour-long episode, which is chock-full of hunting stories - both good and bad.

Talking with Alex about the great outdoors was a fun time all-around. We dive into cameras, photography, hunting, tracking, coffee, and parenting. It was a really fun conversation, and I'm glad we were able to make it happen. Alex Komminsk also gave me the added challenge of attempting to pronounce his name correctly.

David and I sat down for a chat about public land hunting which quickly moved into more of our specialties in social media. We also tell some fun stories from the woods, including our own hunting wins and losses. David further goes into how he took his knowledge of Instagram and made it into a passion project with his newfound hunting hobby, eventually becoming one of the best social media managers in the niche.

Welcome to the Shutters and Shells Podcast! Here I will give a short introduction about where I'd like this show to go, detailing my experiences thus far in the world of wildlife photography and hunting as well as explaining how guests and featured content will appear in upcoming episodes. Very happy to make this happen! Enjoy.
