Holy smokes, y'all, it's November. Where in the world is the time even going? Jordan is leaving after today's podcast recording to head to Kansas for a bow hunt. I'm leaving in a few days to go to Iowa. There's just a lot of good going on in the world of hunting right now. I recently tried my luck on my property, and actually tried to bow hunt off the ground with what I would call reasonable success. We also have several other funny stories to tell from the woods, as well as a news update about the Mississippi whitetail breeder pen audit that has a lot of eyes on it right now. Check it out.

Fresh back from the elk country of New Mexico, and fresh off the John Deere tractor, we have a pile of stories and news to share this week. The biggest news is that Mississippi has a new law for hunting deer over bait, and frankly, it's now easier than ever to bait deer if that's what your into. We also have elk hunting stories from New Mexico, as well from a college professor in Pennsylvania. Check it out!

This wonderful week of entering late September we are joined by special guest, Josh Thrash, a life-long Mississippian, turkey hunter, and relatively new moose hunter. Throughout full-length discussion, all kinds of topics are covered that are worth your time, the most intriguing being the story of Josh's most recent archery moose hunt that you won't want to miss. Check it out!

If you're around central Mississippi today be sure to stop by AgUp in Canton, MS for the Deere Season kick-off event from 3-8pm! It's going to be a heck of a time! in this episode we talk failed velvet hunts, cell cam ethics, proposed law changes involving deer baiting, moose charges, and disgruntled hog hunters. Check it out!

Man, oh man do we have a full show for y'all today! Hopefully all of you are coming off of a burner of a Labor day weekend filled with dove hunts, cookouts, and college football! In the news we have the 2026 waterfowl population report, a very well thought out email from a listener, and serial poacher! After that, we play the Price is Right, archery edition! That leads to talk of what in the world does it cost to get into archery these days! Check it out!
