Game Wardens and Houndsmen have always had a special relationship. Albeit, adversarial, it is a relationship that is steeped in  mystery, misunderstanding and at times; outright hatred. It is a relationship that also comes with a long history and tradition. For way too long it has been widely accepted that the Houndsman’s job is to outsmart the game warden and the game warden feels it his job to outsmart the Houndsman. An ignorant game that needs to be resolved.

Seth goes to work in this episode to pry some of those tales from Chris. Being a Houndsman and a game warden Chris lays out some entertaining stories about his professional encounters with hunters and also talks about his frustrations in dealing with an ignorant bureaucratic machine known as government.

This episode is filled with tones of laughs but also touches on the serious topic of how houndsmen can gain ground and earn respect from other hunters and policy makers. Chris also challenges game wardens to do better. No one is innocent and there is plenty of ignorance on both sides of the issue.

Jacob Coons of Kentucky is a bit of a hunting gear nut. So much so that he started a YouTub Channel to compare and review hunting gear and equipment. On this episode of the Hunting Gear Podcast, the guys talk about recently reviewing several insulated jackets and hunting applications. Jacob breaks down how he takes an analytical approach to comparing products and finding the best value. Jacob explains that there are several options for clothing, mapping and weather apps, outside of the hunting industry. The guys discuss if price reflects quality, why direct to consumer may not be all that it's cracked up to be, and much more! If you are a gear nut, this episode will educate and entertain.

This week on The Average Conservationist Podcast, Marcus sits down with Ed Speakman from Our Grounds Coffee. The guys kick the conversation off talking about Ed's introduction to the outdoors and the similarities between Pennsylvania and Michigan. Ed talks about the origin story of Our Grounds and how he started roasting coffee beans for his friends and once that took off, he realized he could make a go at his own small business. The guys talk about the ups and downs of owning a small business and how if you have a dream and work hard, anything is possible. They close out the conversation discussing why conservation and giving back are some important and when the turning point was where the guys knew they had to start giving back.

John had a heck of a trip to Nebraska to visit his sister and chase Merriam turkeys. On this week's uncut episode of the Oklahoma Outdoors podcast, John talks about the many times he got caught by gobblers with his pants down, multiple close calls, and how distracting all the deer sign was. It is almost hard to believe he didn't fill his tag after situations like walking up on birds midday, turkeys gobbling when he didn't have his bow, and even calling a long beard to 10 steps! He really has nothing to blame but himself.

Even after all the mishaps, it was still an incredible trip. He got to do a lot of scouting for both turkeys and deer, and got permission on yet another property for this fall. John also got to see the effects of EHD for himself, finding multiple deadheads while walking around scouting. It is truly incredible how diverse whitetails and turkeys are and all the places they can thrive, even when it seems the cards are stacked against them.
