The Non-Typical Project

ep.020 - Josh Trolinger - Research Junky: All Things Whitetail

Today, we've got Josh Trolinger on the podcast. Josh is a husband, a father, one heck of a bowhunter, and some would even call him a "research junky". If Josh had a super power it would be depth of knowledge. New products on the market, how to fix a bow tuning issue, what the heck to cook next with your venison, and changing regulations; Josh is your guy. In this episode we talk about it all and go in depth on the why, it's just what he does.

I hope you guys enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording, and maybe you'll learn something new like I did.

On today’s episode we’ve got Steve Oberkrom. Steve is a father, competition archer, bowhunter, and an archery technician at Denny Dennis Sporting Goods. Steve and I cover one of my favorite topics today, archery gear selection, advances in equipment, and when your pre-season prep should really start. We talk about strings, bows, mobile hunting gear, and using your local pro-shop to be in tip-top shape before season without getting caught in the “rush”. From trends in the hunting world, to the age old debate on broadheads we covered a little bit of everything and had a great time doing it. 

I hope you guys enjoyed listening as much as we enjoyed recording.

Today's guest is Mr. Kevin Tod. Kevin is a husband, archery manager of Denny Dennis, and one heck of a trad archery hunter. Kevin has taken trophy class bucks consistently with traditional archery equipment for a number of years and I get to sit down and pick his brain on it. From where to start to the story of the biggest buck of his life at 7 yards with a stick bow, we hear great stories, great advice, and have a great time doing it.

We hope you guys enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording.

Today, one of my good friends joined me for a long overdue episode! Sam Smith of Sam Bows Archery comes on to talk about it all. Sam is a husband, archery shop owner, professional archer, and… you guessed it, one heck of a bowhunter. Sam and I talk about life owning an archery shop, growing up with big dreams of hunting and archery, professional archery, setting the future bowhunters up for success, and the incredible story behind his November buck last season. 

Sam is truly one of those “gem” human beings and someone I think everyone can learn a little something from. I know I say it a lot, but you really don’t want to miss this episode. 

I hope you guys enjoyed listening as much as we enjoyed recording.

Today we've got a solo pod. I had to record this one and get it out to you guys ASAP because it's tick season. They're out and about and in higher numbers than ever. One fun fact about me is: I have had Alpha Gal and I lived with it for about 6 years. Ticks are no joke and as hunters, fisherman, and outdoorsman they are one of the biggest and most common risks to our health every year.

In this pod I break down my experience living with Alpha Gal, what Alpha Gal really is, Tick Prevention, Tick Identification, how to treat bites, and some advice for dealing with and monitoring symptoms.

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, medical professional, or a biologist, what I share and what tips I give are solely based off of my knowledge and my experiences.

I hope you guys get some truly valuable information out of this podcast and something that you can apply or that helps you.

Kyle is a husband, a professional archer, and one heck of a bowhunter. I sit down with Kyle in this episode to talk competition archery, his mental game, an absolutely killer winning streak and of course; some bowhunting.

Today, I’ve got Mr. Bryson Ziegler on the podcast. Bryson hails from the great state of Oklahoma, where he spends his time chasing bucks and long beards. On this pod, I sit Bryson down to talk whitetails, but mainly one in particular, a buck named Dash. Dash is a buck that had some serious age class on him and that Bryson spent 3 years pursuing before he finally connected with him. From rowdy neighbors, to rifle season, and multiple close calls; Bryson was put through the ringer trying to make it happen on this one buck. This is a story and a podcast you guys will not want to miss. 

I hope you guys enjoyed listening as much as we enjoyed recording.

Today we're improvising! I have had some equipment malfunctions that caused audio to go in and out torch some quality. We also have had some scheduling difficulty, but nonetheless, I want to make sure we get a pod out every week! So I sat back and ranted about some of my hunting Hot-Takes! Hopefully by next week we will be back on track with some regular styles, but in the meantime I hope you guys enjoy!

On today's episode, my good friend and big buck killer Hunter Hogan comes back on to talk buck bedding. Hunter is a father, professional archer, big buck expert and one hell of a bowhunter. Hunter has a wealth of knowledge of big buck behavior, their individualistic personalities and traits. I pry at that a bit while also breaking down his habit of killing these world class deer on public land right in their bed. From buck bedding, to hanging sets 30, 40, and even 50 feet high in a tree, we cover a bunch of whitetail tactics.

I hope you guys learn something new and enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording.
