  • Great Podcast & Guests

    I really enjoy listening to these guys! They always give differing perspectives on the topics and bring on excellent guests to share about the outdoors. One guess in particular might be where I end up getting my next hunting dog from. Family friendly, great content, and great stories.

  • Very informative podcast

    I just found this podcast and I truly love it. I’ve owned dogs in the past, but never hunted with any, and I’m picking up my first hunting pedigreed Lab in a few weeks. This podcast along with the training materials I’m using are giving me so much to think about. Just regular guys who love their dogs and are honest about their own mess ups. Started at the beginning and working my way through all of these.

Wild Game, Social Media, and Seasoning Science | The Tailgate Foodie
Q: What's your content strategy for social media and recipe videos?
I treat content as a calendar-driven, seasonality-based plan, use a smartphone with strong lighting, color-correct manually, and focus on hooks, retention loops, and cohesive visuals.
Wild Game, Social Media, and Seasoning Science | The Tailgate Foodie
Q: How do you approach seasoning development for wild game?
I combine garlic/onion bases with unique elements like juniper, honey powder, and African bird chili to create balanced profiles that enhance flavor without overwhelming the gaminess.
Wild Game, Social Media, and Seasoning Science | The Tailgate Foodie
Q: What sparked your transition from nursing to building The Tailgate Foodie into a business?
A concussion from a patient led me to seek a hobby outside of work; I started a food blog, which gradually grew as I monetized it and later formed a company with partners.
Farming the Profitable Acres: Precision Ag Meets Pheasant Habitat | Scott Stipetich
Q: How quickly can a farm see changes after adopting habitat improvements?
Depending on the farm and data readiness, projects can move from concept to action in as little as a few weeks to a few months, with some adjustments aligned to planting windows and cost-share timing.
