Today on the podcast we are kicking it in turkey camp for the Pennsylvania Turkey opener. We decided to pack up the trailer and head to the mountains to kill two birds with one stone…turkey hunting in the mornings and deer scouting in the afternoon. Great time with buddies, and could see this becoming a tradition – thanks for listening!

Today on the podcast I’m joined by Kevin Estela from Fieldcraft Survival. Kevin is a wilderness survival and bushcraft expert and is the Director of Training at Fieldcraft Survival. As I’m preparing for an elk hunt in Grizzly country this fall, preparedness and survival has been on my mind. Truthfully, the events of the past 2 years should have everyone thinking about how prepared they are if they need to go it alone, or secure their loved ones for a period of time. I began reading Kevin’s book “101 Skills You Need To Survive In The Woods” and wanted to learn straight from the source. Kevin has a great way of teaching and communicating that comes natural and made this conversation one of my favorites to date. Hope you all dig it as much as I did – thanks for listening!

Today on the podcast I’m joined by Jake Downs. Jake is one of those guys folks may not be aware of, but the guy has put more tags on critters than anyone I can think of. Everything from Brown bear and Bison with traditional archery equipment, to grueling sheep hunts. In a day and age where it seems hunters are divided by nearly everything from weapon of choice to public vs private hunting vs outfitter vs guided etc., Jake enjoys all forms…kills in all forms…and makes no apologies. HIs only requirement is that he earns his hunt. Hope you all dig the conversation as much as I did – thanks for listening!

Bill is a retired military vet where he spent his days in combat intelligence, AI…and generally speaking, helping the good guys locate the bad guys.

As killer as the predictive deer modeling is…Spartan Forge has some really cool updates coming throughout the spring and summer you’ll want to check out. We talk about some of these updates and more.

Today on the podcast I’m joined by my Joe Rentmeester. Many of you probably know Joe from the Hunting Beast or the Hunting Public’s Public Land Challenge. Joe is one of those guys who seems to have a habit of finding, and killing mature deer…even in hard to hunt places. More than that, what I appreciate most is his insatiable need to continue learning…and questioning every piece of sign or intel he sees. I think his approach to assume his assumptions are incorrect until proven otherwise is why he’s so successful. He’s never closed off from new possibilities…or afraid to be wrong. This approach often end with a mature buck on the ground and a new mount on the wall for Joe. I really dug this conversation and hope you do too – thanks for listening!

Today on the podcast I’m joined by my Chris Derrick. Chris is the Whitetail Product Manager at Sitka gear. Today however, we are talking about the new turkey vest they recently launched along with their Equinox Guard gear. If avoiding ticks and mosquitos while you hunt is something that interests you…then these new Equinox Guard pieces are gong to be right up your alley. Personally I hunt a lot of swampy/buggy areas…and am good for a handful of tick bites a year even if I spray down. Ticks are my least favorite part of spring or early fall hunting…or summer scouting. I’m personally always a little nervous about getting a tick related illness. I really enjoyed the conversation, and think it’s pretty rad that Sitka is making the effort to provide hunters some protection from ticks and related illnesses by building solutions into their gear. Hope you dig the show – thanks for listening!
