I’m not shy about admitting that I definitely struggle with killing a turkey. I’ve had a few close calls and made my fair share of excuses but that doesn’t change the fact that to this day I still haven’t managed to punch a turkey tag. I’m not quite ready to give up completely but here you have it, the confessions of a terrible turkey hunter.

The end of 2025 saw the first bear hunt in Florida in a decade. It was a long and arduous journey with plenty of opposition from the anti hunting community that still continues to this day. 2026 will see the introduction of hounds in the form of a training season and then in 2027 they’ll get their real introduction when they’re allowed to be used to pursue bears. This year saw baiting legalized on private lands and a successful harvest of 52 bears during the 22 day season. This week we are joined by Frank Richardson who was able to successfully harvest a bear and Donny Miley of Coast Runner Outfitters who helped make it happen.

Better late than never am I right? This one was a little slow to get to you kinda like a Waffle House waitress with your coffee refill. Anyway this weeks episode is a fun one, and we’re going to discuss just exactly what you’re telegraphing to the world about you as a hunter through your Waffle House order and no we didn’t talk about anything but the breakfast menu because if you don’t order breakfast no matter what time of day it is, you’re clearly a psychopath.

If you love squirrel hunting and you love dogs you’ll love this blast from the past episode. We’ve been super busy this week moving into a new house and as much as I tried not to, I lost track of time and didn’t get a fresh show out for you. That’s alright though because this one is a sure fire good time. We might encounter a few more speed bumps along the way in this moving journey but we’ll get through it together because you guys are the best. Anyway, let's get this show on the road.

Unwritten rules are a funny thing, because it's something we don’t talk about but it's also something you’re expected to naturally figure out and adhere to. Well this week I’m gonna try to help shorten your learning curve a bit and talk about some of the “unwritten” rules of hunting.

We’ve got another awesome show I'm excited to bring to you this week. I recently sat down with Chad Gustavson, owner of Mountain Hunter Outdoors and you know we had to get some awesome hunting stories out of him before we discussed all of the innovative products he offers through Mountain Hunter Outdoors made right here in the good Ole U S of A. I could go on and on about all the awesome stuff they have but I'm going to let Chad give you the origin story and talk about the products because he does a much better job than I could ever do

Today's tactics are as simple as they always were, to deceive rather than inform. We see easy lies told every day over the hard truths and just because those lies are easier to digest, or explain doesn’t excuse the facts. So we’ll start with these 5 simple lies society is fed about hunting and the narratives behind them.

Listen, I’m not all that much into fishing. Don’t get me wrong , I enjoy it but it just doesn't hold my attention like hunting does. I don’t have any real desire to hunt a high fence ranch but you’d have to drag me away from a stocked catfish pond with a good bite going kicking and screaming. Even me, a guy who doesn’t fish all that often can see the usefulness of the spool pro x1. Less tangled on the spinning rod means less time dad spends cussing under his breath and more time spent fishing. Enough talk on my part, I’ll let Andy explain it far better than I ever could

Social media censorship can be tough, unless that is you’re posting some absolutely obscene garbage with zero educational value then that’s absolutely fine. Heaven forbid you post a little hunting action though. Needless to say, Meta let us know they didn’t like what we promote and informed us they won’t be promoting it but you know what, we all agreed to the rules so I guess we’ve just got to fight the good fight.

We’ve been taking a lot of squirrel hunting lately and there’s no reason to stop now. Did you know that Squirrel meat is some of the most nutrient dense wild game meat there is? Not to mention they’re absolutely delicious. To top it all off they’ll teach you quite a bit about the deer woods if you let them. Squirrels are one of my favorite critters to chase in fact we’ll be out in Seminole Forest for the first small game hunt of the season this Saturday January 17th chasing some squirrels ourselves and we’d love to have you join us but be sure to arrive early as there are limited permits available on a first come first serve basis.
