This week on Tracks & Tackle, we’re diving deep into a conversation every hunter has had around the campfire — the battle between public and private land access.
Is private land the future of hunting, or is our heritage being fenced off one lease at a time? What does it mean to pass on this tradition to the next generation when access becomes harder to find?

Ron Mentzer (Mentzer Outdoors) is joined by guest co-host Lee Bolner of 3B Outdoors to explore the balance between land use, hunting culture, and outdoor legacy.

In our second segment, we take on the ultimate hunter’s challenge:
👉 If you could only hunt one species for the rest of your life… what would it be?

This episode brings storytelling, strong opinions, and real talk from the heart of the outdoors.

🦌 Comment below with your thoughts — what land do you hunt, and what species could you never give up?

We cover the disturbing attack on a Pennsylvania park ranger, a jaw-dropping 58-pound carp that shattered Connecticut’s fishing record, and a deer hunting scandal involving a 49-point buck and a whole lot of deception. Josh joins Ron & Kris to unpack the ethics, excitement, and edge of today’s outdoor headlines. Buckle up—this one’s loaded.
