I made my inaugural trip to hunt moose with Arluk Outfitters back in 2018. Fast forward to 2025 and I found myself back in Newfoundland for round two.

When I first saw a video of Steve Porter and a pile of dead whitetail fawns, my interest was immediately peaked. Why would anyone kill their own healthy doe fawns?

We've seen it in most Western states by now.  Substantial fee increases on non-resident tags, licenses and even the application process seem to be the norm these days.

Passionate big game hunter, firearms author and podcast host Joseph Von Benedikt joins the show today.

Alaska has long been at the top of my bucket list. I imagine many of you are in the same boat. The main issue for most hunters and making that dream reality, however, is cost. Alaska is expensive.

When National Rifle Association Board of Directors Jeff Knox reached out about possibly coming on the show, I was a bit skeptical.

Lifelong Utahan Ben Dettamanti (aka Shed Crazy) joins the show this week.

Trapping is a time honored tradition throughout human history. Whether the game is pursued for food, hides, population control or monetary gain, it's an artform that dates back to the earliest days of mankind. I'm always impressed by those who've mastered the art and continue the tradition in modern times. Colt Morris certainly fits that [...]

We kick things off with a new duck recipe. If it's my cooking, then there's a greater than 50% chance it's going to be some kind of Tex/Mex preparation.  We used the blue wing teal hearts from Henry and I's  September teal hunt on the Texas coast. The Teal Heart Enchiladas didn't disappoint!   I [...]

There is some level of satisfaction in battling extreme elements and coming out on top while hunting. However, being comfortable in those environments means you can stay out longer and put more time in afield. Our good friend Will Cooper of GSM Outdoors joins us on this episode to talk about some of the late [...]

The 2nd Amendment isn't up for negotiation. The left continues to tirelessly attack our protected rights on the state and federal levels. So who is looking out for us?

Nothing brings me more satisfaction than watching my kids enjoy the great outdoors.

Timber Cleghorn recently appeared on History Channel's hit series - Alone. The Season 11 contestant made it 83 days surviving the Artic Circle's harshest of conditions.

September is my favorite month of the year for so many reasons. Hunting season kicks off with the September 1st dove opener, temps are starting to cool off and football arrives at the same time.

Self deprecating humor has long been my favorite form of comedy and Nate Illingsworth has it down pat.

Shallon Payne's family has thrived living on the land in Appalachia for as long as this country has existed. They're still doing the same today.

Few things are steeped in as much pageantry and tradition as a proper English fox hunt. However, England banned fox hunting with hounds in the early 2000s.

We talked about it countless times, but the severity of Colorado's hunting ban vote can't be overstated. It will affect all of us if Colorado votes to ban sustainable use hunting.

Protect 30 percent of our land mass and our oceans by 2030... sounds like a great idea, right?

One [...]

When I read the press release from Texas Parks and Wildlife I was surprised to say the least. The multi year study on big largemouth bass revealed some interesting facts that I was unaware of.

We revisit the audio vault this week. 3 time Bassmaster Angler of the Year Mark Davis deviates from largemouth to give us some tips on his favorite summer past time- bluegill fishing.
