  • Great stuff

    Dan, I’m a big fan of your podcasts. As someone who has 4 kids, I also don’t get to spend as much time in the woods as I used to. I appreciate your perspective. In fact, I’m starting to look at public land here in VA and I’ve been listening to brush up on all of that because it’s all new to me. Thanks again!

    Great Hunting podcast. Dan has a great sense of humor and is very relatable. Even though he eats sweet corn the long way.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From The Woods To The Stage with Rafe Carlson
Q: How do you balance the outdoors lifestyle with a demanding music career?
Family and tradition are non-negotiables; we hunt with uncles and cousins and keep deer camp as a centerpiece. The outdoors recharge creativity and help maintain perspective amid touring and promo work.
From The Woods To The Stage with Rafe Carlson
Q: What's the approach behind your debut album and this project's branding?
The goal isn't to chase mainstream trends but to release something authentic that represents where I come from. The debut album Out Of The Woods is designed to feel timeless and to establish a clear Northwoods sound that fans can connect with long-term.
From The Woods To The Stage with Rafe Carlson
Q: How did you go from doing gigs for 100 dollars to playing on bigger stages and festivals?
It happened gradually with the right people in your corner, like Jeff Huffkins, and by treating each opportunity as a step up rather than a one-off, which built momentum and credibility. It also required recognizing when to push back on low-value gigs and focus on projects that fit the brand and fanbase you've built.
Spring Sessions #5: All Over The Place
Q: Here's a question for you. Will you call me a pussy?
The host asks in a joking way about backing down the draw weight; the guest responds that he should not be judged and that the choice is personal and practical for wellbeing.
Bonus Episode: Habitat IQ
Q: How does Habitat IQ differ from predictive deer movement apps?
Habitat IQ relies on data from across the United States and input from deer experts, rather than being based on a small, anecdotal data subset. It blends habitat information with deer predictivity to provide a comprehensive, location-specific plan rather than a simple movement forecast.
