Under Pressure Outdoors Podcast

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 ou...

We did this Live Sunday Evening and didn't make it 24hrs and I hop on social media and see the hunting community eating itself alive. It is absolutely ridiculous. At this point I'm not even sure I should be posing this as a question as it feels more relevant as a statement, We are our own worst enemy. Anyway there's still hope,  I know that there's still plenty of people out there who still just want to see hunting as a pastime remain successful and thriving for the next generation.

This the last installment of the Hunting Stories Series and then it's back to your regularly scheduled programming and we have some great shows coming your way. This week we’re going back to a story crafted right here in the South East's own Appalachian mountain range. This week we’re re telling Dillon Harper's Story of perseverance through the struggles of the public land hills he calls home in search of Black Bear and the elusive mountain whitetail buck.

Have you ever heard the saying there's a 100 different ways to skin a cat? PETA probably isn’t going like that analogy but that's a different podcast for a different date. Coincidentally enough it seems like there's easily 100 x 100 different ways to kill a deer although in my experience some ways are better than others. So let's talk about it.

We’re getting closer to being back on track and we have some awesome new episodes coming down the pipe for you all but in the meantime I want to share a story with you that is a hunt on my bucket list. This week we’re jumping back to an episode that we recorded over a year ago talking with a gentleman named Nick about a successful sika deer hunt in Maryland. Ever since I saw Tony Makis hunt Sika deer when I was a kid on the TV show Under Wild Skies, I was dead set on sett...

It's that time of year, well to be honest it’s been that time of year for a while now. Just like you do with your bow you should be practicing with your rifle or muzzleloader in the off season even if it's just dry fire training. That being said, before you go to the woods you should be checking your zero and making sure the safe gremlins didn’t make any off season adjustments for you so this week we’re covering some procedures to help you sight in your rifle.

So… I’ve gone back through and found some of my favorite stories from the past to re-share with you all these next couple weeks while we catch back up with some new episodes. To kick...

Why do you go to the woods? Are you a serious hunter, everything must be perfect, the wind the scent regiment, absolutely everything or are you more relaxed. Do you measure the hunt in inches or in stories? There isn’t a wrong answer and doing what makes you happy is the best choice but keep that in mind when someone else’s legal choices don’t align with yours.

I get that you might not agree with how things are run conservation wise in Florida but if you aren't providing a viable solution with your complaint you're just creating static. The Upcoming Florida bear hunt is no stranger to the whining, complaining and bickering and we're going to talk about it.

  It is officially deer season in a large majority of the south and that is a reason to rejoice! It’s the best season of the entire year! Now if you’ve spent any decent amount of time in the woods you know that bad shots happen. We practice in the off season and wait patiently for the right opportunity to present itself but sometimes even when everything seems to be going right, something goes wrong. This isn’t the first time we’ve covered this subject but it's our first time getting to sit down with Chris with Bird Dog...

It’s no secret that nationwide invasive aquatic plants are a problem, it’s also no secret that people everywhere, generally speaking, don’t like the fact that herbicides are used in the attempted mitigation of invasive aquatic plants. Especially in Florida.

  If you’ve been following the hunting politics here in Florida you’re more than aware of the fact that we have had some very serious discussions about getting ourselves a bear hunt. We did have a hunt back in 2015 that came close to meeting the quota in just around 2 days subsequently triggering the closure of a scheduled week-long season. That hunt was a publicity nightmare to say the least. We’ve already had 1 meeting this year that went well for the hunters back in May and now it's time for the final ruling on the bear hunt and to esta...

Considering I was raised in the flatwoods of Florida, when I think of fishing in the saltwater I really don’t think of anywhere else but the state I call home. However, the ocean is vast and the fisheries are connected maybe more than you realize. Some fish even migrate similar to ducks down the flyways in the fall. This week we sat down with Steve Brewster to discuss the issues fishermen are facing in North Carolina and how they are already affecting fishermen up and down the Atlantic coast, Florida included.

A time before all the orange groves and pastures were sold off to become houses, before history and heritage were built over. This week we’re joined by retired FWC Officer and Author Bob H. Lee.

This week we’re combining the art of fishing with, well, art. In this Episode we’re joined by artist and Lure maker Bob Sturgeon of The Angry Sturgeon. Bob individually hand crafts crank baits that are truly a work of art. He has a passion for what he does sourcing his wood from his family farm he resides on making some of the most visually stunning lures you’ve ever seen. Although his baits are commonly used in display pieces like mounts and given as unique one of a kind gifts to the angler that has it all, Bob lo...

This week's topic for the live was active participation in conservation and what that means to me. It was great to have that discussion with the growing youtube audience. Thank you all for joining me live off my newly erected big deck,  I had a blast with all of you. If you want to be part of the action subscribe to the Under Pressure Outdoors Podcast YouTube and join us on Sunday nights at 8:30 eastern 7:30 central and as always we’d love it if you’d leave us a review on apple podcast or wherever you’re getting your podcast...

I have been looking forward to sharing this episode with you all for a few weeks now, this week we sat down with Curtis and Lobo of Lobo Adventures. In this episode you’ll get to hear first hand the journey that Curtis has had taking Lobo from an aggressive high strung dog that was dumped on the side of the road to the hunting partner of several lifetimes.

This week we covered hunting-ism’s. The south is full of isms like finer than frogs hair or neater than chickens teeth and so is the hunting world. Some ring true in many cases and some well, they get their point across. I discussed mine and hope you guys will share yours down in the comments on our YouTube. As always we’d love if you’d write us a review and send in questions through our social media or just straight to our email address underpressureoutdoors@gmail.com

This week we are joined by freshwater fisheries biologist Kyle Miller. Kyle is a repeat guest on the podcast. In the past we’ve discussed everything from odeliths to minnows versus miners versus shiners and as a matter of fact we actually get an update on the study Kyle had been working on with the bluenose shiner. All that being said we brought him in to talk about some awesome youth fishing opportunities coming up in the future and just do a little catching up, hear some successful hunting stories and as always learn something new about fish.

This is it Episode 1 of Under Pressure Outdoors live on air, and in typical fashion, we’re diving in head first and steadily climbing up. I'll work on some sweet intro music for you guys for this in the coming weeks but until then my sultry voice will have to do. You can catch these shows live on our YouTube every Sunday evening at 8:30pm Eastern time and as always we’d love it if you guys would leave us a review and tell your friends and family about the podcast, because we wouldn't be where we are today with...

This week we had the pleasure of sitting down with Hunter Rotarius of Florida Boy Outfitters. Hunter has been on the show several times both as a guest and a co host but it's been a hot minute since we’ve had him in the studio. We talked about his deer season, the fact that he’s a dad now and of course we talked about turkeys and some cool news from Florida Boy Outfitters.

A few weeks ago we were fortunate to have the opportunity for Kyle Gibbs with 850 media productions to join us for a show to share his passion for the preservation of memories and tradition through the lens of a camera. Kyle grew up in a part of Florida he referred to as the forgotten coast. The area he’s from feels less like the hustle and bustle of tourist and Disney World and still embodies the look and feel of a small southern town. This is a place where native Floridians go on vacation to remember what it was li...

This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jim and Vince Phelps just to do a little catching up and all of the sudden it occurred to me I haven't really had the chance to talk with them about their Alaskan Road trip they went on last summer. They recounted some awesome tales from nights under the sun, small game hunting, fishing, travel north of the arctic circle and of course mosquitos.  Sit back relax and let these gentlemen regale you with tales of flat tires and mating swans, we got plenty of laughs in and I'm s...

This week we’re talking about another blow to the whitetail deer hunting community, Chronic wasting disease has been found in Georgia making it the 36th state to have a positive case. Chronic wasting disease or CWD as it is commonly referred to as is a fatal neurological disease that affects the brain and nervous system of cervids like deer, elk and moose. Is this cause for alarm? Sort of, the best thing we can do as hunters and stewards of the land is continue to hunt and practice good herd management and work with our local and state ag...

 Here lately I've been more inclined to take a step back from world of modern technology when it comes to the time i get to spend in the woods by picking up things like a recurve bow instead of a compound, investing in wool instead of fleece, trading camo for mute colors and plaid patterns and so on. So when given the opportunity to sit down with dixie decoys and discuss their modern take on traditional duck hunting gear I naturally jumped right on it. It's interesting to look at the history of some of the original camo patterns l...

  We’ve got a great story for you all this week. We sat down with Dillon Harper and we talked hunting in the Mountains of Georgia. This is a story wrought with persistence, frustrations, and multiple plan changes that ultimately lead to a kill. Not just one but multiple kills. He fought the frustration of chasing a changing mast crop to having his camp destroyed but in the end never gave up and made one hell of a season for himself. I’m sure this is one you all are really  going to enjoy.

This week we sat down with The president elect of Villages Ducks unlimited Jonathan Kimbil  and we talked about the recent trip they had with one of the UPO crew with On The Deck Outfitters out in Arkansas. Buckle up for some fun stories from the road trip and from the duck blind. Buckle up for Stories of ducks coming in on a string and an accidental and very unpleasant beverage.

This week we’re talking bass fishing, with James from Ford fishing 352 and Vick from Vick Fishing, these guys are some local anglers here in our neck of the Florida woods, who took it from the bank to the tournament circuit and now to hosting the King of the Harris chain tournament series, I’ll let James go over the finer details but if you think you’ve got what it takes to be crowned king you can find the registration link in the podcast description. We really had an absolute blast talking fishing with these guys and I'm sure y...

This is the first episode of season 6 and the first episode to drop in the new year 2025, and what better way to start things off than with return guest Austin Anderson. Austin is up there in the panhandle of Florida laying down some fantastic Florida deer with traditional archery equipment but this week we’re more focused on a trip he took with his dad back in 2024 and to talk about some awesome bucks they were both able to put down using the ole recurve.

With bow hunting rapidly on the rise in popularity for the last decade or more it feels to me like the modern rifle has been relegated to the men and women of the orange army. In reality though it's where most of us got our start. Maybe you hunt strictly with a bow these days or you're like me and prefer to just pick your weapon of choice depending on what suits your fancy that weekend, rifles will always have a place in the hunting space. This week we are joined by Peter, Owner of Deep Roots Rifle Company...

Today is the day we finally get to hear the story behind the hell of a season Matt Oglesby has had so far. In this episode we discuss how he came back to whitetail deer hunting after a hiatus and managed an awesome season so far with not one but 3 beautiful Florida bucks and to top it off i got share a glass of early times with him, to some that may seem like just a cheap whiskey but it has a special meaning to Matt and a has a story we’ll get into later on. So to sa...

Where has time gone? Like really it seems like we were celebrating 4th of July a couple weeks ago and now it's December, whew… speaking of December, Christmas is right around the corner and you just might want to pick up one of these targets for yourself or someone else for Christmas. This week we’re joined by JD and Cody from primal pursuit. They’re the manufacturer of what is likely the last archery target you’ll ever have to buy i could go on and on about their products but i think they do a much better job them...

Let's talk about what we've got going on this week. We got a chance to sit down with captain Will McNutt of Down South Fishing company to have a great conversation about many different things but mainly some potential closures in the Gulf and Atlantic fisheries. Captain Will is a true jack of all trades, this is his 4th time on the show and only the second time we’ve spoken about fishing. In addition to being an amazing fishing captain Will is also an accomplished elk hunter and guide. He's truly a man of many talents and interests.

  This week I'm joined by Chris Heskett, host of  Venison Gains podcast & co host of Stop talking about fat loss. Chris is an online health and fitness coach with over a decade of experience helping people lose weight and gain muscle and wouldn’t you know it he loves using wild game to do that. In this episode we discuss how Chris got into hunting, the nutrition factors of wild game vs store bought meat and share some hunting stories along the way.

 All you awesome people down here in Florida did it, you went out and voted and your voices were heard and we passed amendment 2 and have now secured the right to hunt and fish in the state's constitution! This week we are talking about music, frontiersmen, long hunters and American history with Andrew Scott Wills. Andrew is a singer songwriter who produces ballad style music under the name Hawken Horse, in my opinion his music falls in a genre of its own about mountain men, like Jim Bridger and the wild frontier, back when the frontier was modern day K...

If you’re in Florida Vote yes on Amendment 2 and help us add the right to hunting and fishing to our state's constitution. This week it's just us dudes hanging out in the studio having a little B.S. session tal...

This one, this one right here, If you’re gonna be around a fire in deer camp this weekend you might even want to save this one. This is a true Halloween special, you know you’ve heard unexplained noises in the woods, seen and felt things that were just a little out of place, maybe there's a reason why. Join us this week, the week of Halloween as we host Luke Bauserman of American Mythology to hear some of the stories of the Appalachian region of the United States.

Boy do we have a really interesting show for you today! This week we’re sitting down with Heather Stevens of Wildlife analytical labs https://deerage.com/ to blow the doors absolutely wide open on how old  whitetail deer actually are. We go into detail about the accuracy or inaccuracy rather of jawbone aging and how the process of cementum aging works and let me tell you, I was blown away at how old deer can and regularly do get in the wild.

This episode right here is proof! Everyone will tell you there aren't any big deer in Florida and if you want to compare them by body weight, sure there aren’t any big deer in Florida. Although we don't have those huge bodied corn fed midwestern deer here we still hold the potential for antler growth when provided with proper management and who better to talk about growing booners in Florida with than Brandon Storey of Storey Hunts.

Let me tell you guys what, this week's episode is definitely based on one crazy adventure. We’re gonna deviate away from hunting this week to bring to light a mission to help raise money to end childhood cancer.  Red Flowers set out to raise 1 Million dollars for childhood cancer research after his own diagnosis and cancer battle and break a world record in the process. Red and his team completed the 6 thousand plus mile great loop in 19 days 19 hours and 50 minutes. 43 Children are diagnosed with cancer every day. Before we go any further I'd encourage you to scroll dow...

Early Wood duck and Teal season is in full swing for the next few days down here and I'd be willing to bet a nice crisp 20 that if you were in the blind this past weekend you or someone you know missed a bird. So that brings up the question. Have you tried patterning your shotgun with different loads? Well this week we sat down with Ryan Burnett with Pattern Pros to talk about just that very thing. They offer a wide range of mixed boxes of shells to help you figure out what shoots best out of your...

What's going on everyone, this week we packed the studio full and when i say full i mean it’s just me and Van Wilkes from HangFree Co. in the house. We talked about what new products are hitting the shelves at Hangfree and what the guys are looking at when it comes to products they’ll be offering in the future.

This is it for us down here in Zone C Florida this week, deer season opens Saturday morning at 6:41 AM is legal shooting light according to my calculations. Good luck to all you lovely people this weekend, I’ll be heading up to our lease in Georgia to try and put this ole bear recurve to work. This week we sat down with Derek Norwood of Derek Norwood outdoors. He’s a Florida native who has quite a few tricks up his sleeve for locating whitetails in some less than desirable locations down here. We had a great time disc...

The title speaks for itself, you can in fact eat the horns. I won't go into great detail but it's possible. Anyway  this week we’re having a fun laid back conversation with Garret Smith mainly about the conflicts between keyboard warriors on social media and hunting. It's really just a fun time conversation with plenty of jabs thrown around here and there with plenty of laughter woven in.

    What a wonderful day it is today! Do you know why? No? Well let me tell you, it's the last week in August, and when August is over it’s September and do you know what happens in September for most of us? That's right! It's deer season, baby! I’m absolutely pumped for this year and I'm itching to climb a tree with the ole recurve and do my best to put some meat in the freezer. This week we sat down with Bruce the owner of 4S Advanced Wildlife Solutions to talk about the products they offer to keep...

This week we sat down with Jacob Emery with DO3 Outdoors to talk about water access. Just like the UPO Crew he runs a water feather and uses that thing to maneuver himself around to get in position for some great opportunities to get on deer. We talk a little about setup, some do’s and some definite don’ts and a little bit of everything in between. We enjoyed this episode and we hope you guys do too. Using the water is just another tool for the whitetail deer hunters tool belt, it's not always the answer but coul...

  So this week we’re talking trail cameras with Black Gate Trail Cameras. Trail cameras are a common tool in the hunting community and now’s the time to get them into the woods if you haven't already. For most of us the bucks are getting ready to come out of velvet and are showing close to their full potential for this season already and a well placed trail cam can help narrow in the search for your target buck this year. In the episode we talk quite a bit mainly about cell cameras and the common downfalls that Black...
