Semi Auto, single shot, pump action, lever action, bolt action, tube fed, magazine fed, Fully automatic hell even revolvers, all of them, every single one of these could be a shotgun. Just like the thousand different types of shotguns there's quite a few different gauges and we’re going to talk about them.

Let's kick this week off with a little back story. I’ve known Kyle and Ian for close to 30 years and we grew up together building tree forts, playing paintball and getting into trouble together. We all three at one point or another left home to join the military and we just recently got a chance to sit down to share some hunting stories and talk about Kyle’s recent fishing trip in Canada. This week was more catching up and sharing fun stories than anything else and I really hope you guys enjoy it.

You get out of it what you put into it, you reap what you sow. Not only are these sayings true for your everyday life, they also apply to hunting in a few different ways and this week we’re going to touch on some of them.

We all love hunting, some of us were raised outdoors, some of us found it later in life but we all have a deeper appreciation for the game we pursue than most. Every single day, in every single state here in the U.S. and across the globe, someone is trying to take away from and tear down our ability to go afield and chase game to feed ourselves and our families. This week we sat down with Charles Whitwam of Howl for Wildlife, they are a nonprofit organization that helps us take coordinated action to protect wildlife management, hunting rights and conservation policies.

It might go a bit against the mainstream line but hear me out. You don’t have to suffer to kill deer. Sometimes being the tough guy gets you an extra half hour that results in a kill but lets be honest with ourselves more times than not being comfortable works better.

This week we are joined by Kenny Robison from Outta Luck Outdoors. Kenny has set a goal for himself that I think deep down inside we all secretly want to achieve some day and he’s hammering away at it. Kenny has set the generous goal of hunting all 50 states in an effort to spread awareness of how the outdoors can help veterans and those suffering from post traumatic stress. He’s already git a couple states under his belt and hopefully we’ll get him down here in Florida with his family this summer to chase some iguanas.

It’s deer season and if you hunt, you’ve done it. What is IT you might ask? Well that would be missing. It doesn’t even faze me in the duck blind, or when chasing a coyote but when it comes to a deer, for some reason it feels personal. This is the first episode I’ve brought on a guest and i might do more in the future but lets all sit back and enjoy the funny stories of missed deer.

I absolutely love it when former guests as well as listeners send guests my way and that is exactly how  we ended up in touch with Mike Coleman of Kodiak Ranch Outfitters. Mike is a Florida born native living in Tennessee and hunting those western mountains and that's mostly what we talked about. He has most definitely inspired me to head out west in pursuit of elk and mule deer and hopefully he does the same for you. Mike, I'll see you on the mountain in 2027.

So the question this week is do deer have the ability to apply quick-witted intelligence? Or are they simply reacting to their environment in a way that has repeatedly had a positive outcome in the past? I think you know the answer because lets be honest if deer were smart they wouldn't travel in a pattern.

Alright everyone we’re back in action this week and kicking things off with Leland Brown of the North American Lead Free Partnership. They are a hunter-led conservation alliance, working to reduce wildlife exposure to lead by promoting voluntary use of non-lead ammunition. Now you might scoff at the thought of jumping to a copper bullet this fall but Leland has the data to prove the Effectiveness of these copper solids which we talk plenty on in the show. Regardless, it's our job as hunters to be stewards of the land before, during and after the kill. Every critter out there plays a vital role in the habitat and we’d like to keep them around.
