The guys talk about controlled burns, the newest technology in deer harvesting, and more!

Tim Scott, Erik Tasker, and Paul Wagner host this episode of Tailgate Talk!

Ridder is joined by X2Power's Shawn Budiac to talk all things power for your outdoor passions. What exactly is it that has everyone switching to lithium batteries to power boat electronics, atv's and more. What you need to know about your battery needs. Would a lithium battery benefit you or is the standard AGM power best for your application? Not everyone needs to or should invest in lithium power and we uncover those situations. Plus we re-cap the Bassmaster Classic and what it was like being in Knoxville and being with the winner Jeff Gustafson.
