Big Announcement! We will be holding our first LIVE event podcast and Q&A at Rick's in Starkville, MS on February 23, 2022!! So come join in and talk turkey hunting with us! In other news, this week we reached way back in the story archives to tell the story of the time we thought it was a good idea to bring four dogs with us on a single morning duck hunt! We also speak about our duck hunting plans in the near future, the upcoming deer week at Kudzu, and much more! Check it out! 

We had never seen a buck with a neck so bruised, cut, and scarred up from fighting as the one we finished off the trip to Swamp Donkey with. It really was a fitting climax to an awesome time at an amazing place. There's just so much to be said about the Mississippi River. There's a deeper reason why it feels so much like home to us. In this episode, we discuss the rest of our trip there, as well as a rare disagreement about what the wildlife and hunting atmosphere was like in several years ago. Not to mention, a few funny duck hunting and deer hunting stories you won't want to miss. 

Prolific is a not term you hear often applied to deer herds. "The best whitetail hunting I've ever experienced" is not a phrase you often hear paired with a place in the southeast. We are here to tell you, that Swamp Donkey is truly one of the most incredible places that we have ever experienced. We are 2 1/2 days into our trip down on the Mississippi River and cannot wait to fill you in on everything that has taken place. Don't miss it! 

Baker Leavitt is the Hunting Community Manager for Black Rifle Coffee Company, a veteran owned and operated company based out of the United States. He is also an well traveled and well versed hunter, and has been for over 20 years. In this conversation, we cover topics all over the spectrum: the mean girls of the hunting community, building successful business from the ground up, taking your mother hunting, and so much more. 

In this week before Christmas at Kudzu Bluff our confidence and hopes are coming to an absolute peak. The weather looks great, the time of year looks even better, and we can't wait to see what this week's time in the woods has in store. We also cover last week's hunting actions which includes, trimming a buck deer's belly hair, and Slade killing a great buck! 

In this week's conversation we discuss the hottest topic in Mississippi's hunting current events right now, revolving around a public duck hunting area. We also discuss the pile of action we've been having at Kudzu Bluff! 

An update on the action at Kudzu, which includes not a only a successful hunting story, but also a very telling reason of why we call the place "Kudzu Bluffs." In this specific story, however, it might as well be referred to as a Kudzu canyon. This week's conversation also includes a duck hunt that didn't quite go as planned, the rare occurrence where the guy running the camera can see a deer but the hunter can't, and a very optimistic outlook on how this week of hunting is going to go.  

We laughed more recording this episode than any other we've done so far this fall. This one has stories of poorly placed conibear traps, Jordan's dad's high stakes trade for stack of cord wood, creative deer stand snacks, Troy's successful hunt at Kudzu, and more than we can mention! If you're looking for a stack of good stories, laughs, and some hunt talk, don't miss this episode!

Brad Farris and Chipper Gibbes are two of the most knowledgeable people I know in the world of managing a property for hunting. In this episode we discuss topics of prescribed fire in the fall, a rare bobwhite quail sighting in central Mississippi, the effect of native browse on deer herds, small property management tips, and much more! 

The conclusion of last week's episode in a much satisfying fashion. It wasn't even close to being guaranteed, but man, we are so thankful the story of our hunt in Southeast Iowa ended the way it did. The story of this single day of hunting alone is a story all in itself, so we tried our best not to skip a single meaningful or exciting detail.  Throughout the conversation you will hear us cover, the decision to move in aggressively, studying OnX to determine where to go, the art of picking the right tree, the trustworthiness of a cedar limb, Jordan's inability to not tinker, hearing a buck snort wheeze before seeing it, calling deer to the base of your tree, how it feels to shoot a buck of a lifetime, post-shot adrenaline dumps, and much more.
