Number 1: N.F.C. - Just A Guy Who Loves Deer Camp
Some hunting stories are funny. This one is pure deer-camp gold. Greg Franzoni and Dan Johnson trade the kind of public-land memories, family traditions, and hard-earned lessons that only come from years in the woods - and a few disasters you have to hear to believe. Greg shares how a second-weekend deer camp became a multi-generation tradition built on communication, patience, and a whole lot of laughter. Dan brings the perspective of a bowhunter and storyteller who knows exactly how much the culture around hunting matters, especially when kids, dads, buddies, and grandkids all start showing up with their own stories. You’ll discover:Why deer camp is about far more than filling a tagHow Greg’s crew manages public-land deer drives with walkie-talkies, shared maps, and constant awarenessThe hilarious origin stories behind nicknames like Roadkill and Joe BooWhat it was like hunting with barely any gear, frozen feet, and questionable orangeWhy the meals, the cabin, and the stories around the table may be the real reason the tradition survives Greg also opens up about becoming a hunter without growing up in a hunting family, how bowhunting changed his approach, and why teaching, sports, and outdoor life all connect through the same competitive, comedic spirit. Dan adds his own unforgettable childhood hunting mishaps, including one that will make every listener wince and laugh at the same time. This episode is a reminder that hunting is never just hunting - it’s the people, the stories, the rituals, and the shared history that keep bringing everyone back. Essential listening if you love deer camp, public-land hunting, family traditions, or just a great story told by two guys who know how to keep it real.

Number 2: N.F.C. - Big Woods Public Land Strategy
Indiana bowhunter Seth Taylor has learned something most hunters spend years chasing: success in the woods has a lot less to do with giant bucks and a lot more to do with reading sign, managing pressure, and keeping the whole thing fun. If you’re a public land hunter, a mobile bowhunter, or someone who’s ever talked yourself out of a good setup, this conversation will hit home fast. Dan Johnson and Seth break down the lessons Seth picked up after starting with almost no bowhunting experience and quickly finding out what works, what doesn’t, and why chasing other people’s goals can wreck your season. You’ll hear how Seth approaches southwestern Indiana big woods, why he favors terrain features like saddles, ridges, and creek runs, and how he adjusts on the fly when fresh sign shows up between the truck and his planned setup. He also opens up about the pressure that came after an early 140-inch miss, how that season changed his mindset, and why he now values enjoying the hunt just as much as punching a tag. Dan and Seth also dig into:Hunting public land and a nearby military base with strict check-in rules, no trail cameras, and plenty of deerWhy acorns, scrapes, and fresh sign matter more than overcomplicating the huntHow thermals behave in hill country and why ridge tops can make or break an access planThe pros and cons of trail cameras, saddle setups, and ground huntingWhy Seth now measures success by making the right move, not just killing the biggest buck Along the way, the conversation drifts into military surplus, Pablo Escobar hippos, and the strange, hilarious stories that only seem to come up when two hunters start talking shop. But beneath the laughs is a practical reminder: deer hunting gets a whole lot better when you stop trying to impress everybody else and start hunting the way that actually fits you. Perfect for hunters who want a real-world look at public land bowhunting, pressure-free success, and the mindset shift that turns frustration into fun.

Number 3: Hunting Gear Podcast - Run & Gun Mobile Hunting Gear
Heavy mobile hunting gear gets exposed fast in the field. In this episode, Jake Fleischman breaks down the stand, sticks, boots, clothing, and carry system he trusts for Wisconsin public land, and explains why simpler, lighter gear keeps winning as the miles add up. Dan Johnson and Jake dig into the real-world tradeoffs behind run-and-gun whitetail hunting in bluff country along the Mississippi, where steep terrain, crooked trees, long sits, and constant setup changes punish bad equipment. Jake shares why he moved away from heavier setups, what made him come back to a lightweight tree stand over a saddle, and how he keeps his system stable, quiet, and comfortable all day. They also cover:Why the XOP Fly stood out over heavier optionsHow seat height, boot room, and tooth design affect stand performanceWhy Jake prefers simple, stable climbing sticksHow his layering system changes with wind, cold, and long sitsWhich boots work best for mobile huntingThe small accessories that make a big difference in the woods If you’re building a better whitetail system for public land season, this episode is packed with practical takeaways.

Number 4: Pennsylvania Woodsman - From Pennsylvania Deer Camp to the Country Music Stage
In this episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitchell is joined by Pennsylvania outdoorsman and country music artist Robbie Jordan for a conversation about hunting traditions, life experiences, and finding purpose along the way. Robbie grew up in a military and law enforcement family where weekends were spent at hunting camp with his grandparents, and Pennsylvania rifle season was treated a lot like Christmas morning. He shares the lessons his grandfather passed down in the woods, how hunting remained a constant through his teenage years and military service, and why returning home to Pennsylvania after the Army gave him an entirely new appreciation for the traditions he grew up with. Robbie also tells the story of an unforgettable late-season flintlock hunt that ended without a filled tag, but with him discovering a black bear and three cubs denned beneath a fallen tree. The conversation eventually turns toward another major part of Robbie's life—country music. Robbie talks about leaving the Army, returning to blue-collar work, and eventually realizing that writing, singing, and performing music was something he wanted to seriously pursue. Mitchell and Robbie discuss the connection between great country music and real-life experience, how hunting and small-town Pennsylvania influence Robbie's songwriting, and why the best songs often come from stories and emotions people can recognize in their own lives. Robbie also shares the inspiration behind his debut single, "Redneck Town," his approach to blending country and rock influences, and his goals of someday balancing life on the road with plenty of time left for hunting and fishing. It's a conversation about family tradition, hard work, the outdoors, country music, and figuring out how the things you're passionate about fit into a larger purpose.

Number 5: N.F.C. - Just Going To Send It: A Hunting Strategy
The phones are listening, the deer are moving, and Jeremy Dinsmore is ready to throw arrows again. If you hunt whitetails, obsess over trail cam intel, or just love the kind of real talk that starts with a conspiracy theory and ends with a better deer season plan, this one is for you. Dan Johnson and Jeremy Dinsmore kick things off with the creepy feeling that your phone is hearing every conversation, then quickly turn it into a bigger conversation about how modern life, rising costs, and constant distraction are changing the way we hunt and think. From bathroom remodel ads appearing out of nowhere to gas prices, diapers, and the grind of raising kids, this episode blends everyday chaos with whitetail-season anticipation in a way only these two can. You’ll hear Jeremy break down:Why 2023 changed the way he approaches hunting and why he is done letting good opportunities walkHow fatherhood shifted his mindset from proving something to simply enjoying the season and filling tagsWhat he is watching for on trail cameras, including the frustrating mystery of bucks disappearing from pinch pointsWhy EHD rumors, wet conditions, and standing beans have him paying close attention to what the landscape is telling himHow family, camp life, and time in the woods create the stories he wants to pass down to his kids someday Dan brings his own sharp perspective on deer behavior, pressure, and the weird realities of hunting pressured farms, including a head-scratching example of standing beans that saw almost no deer sign all winter. Jeremy shares what he is seeing in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and the early-season units he plans to hunt, plus why Sundays, weekend hunts, and smarter tag strategy are giving him a fresh edge heading into fall. This episode hits on more than just deer. It is about what happens when hunting becomes a reset button, a family tradition, and a reminder to stop staring at your phone and start paying attention to the world around you. It is equal parts funny, honest, and fired up for the season ahead.Perfect for whitetail hunters, dads juggling family and the woods, and anyone who is counting down the days until opening weekend.
