  • The real deal.

    Real folks talking about real outdoor experiences. Not much fluff or paid for opinions, honest “you miss, I miss, we all miss” talk. Love the content coverage.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Baiting coyotes- Adam Sherman
Q: How has baiting evolved for you over the years, and what do you use for bait today?
Baiting has evolved from using simple roadkill and scraps to a diverse setup including deer, beaver, muskrat, and butcher scraps, with a focus on placing bait on ice to keep it secure and reduce ravens, while maximizing lure and scent for coyotes and wolves.
Fur and Fundamentals- Cam Jones
Q: How do you balance cost with performance when upgrading hunting optics and calls?
Cam explains prioritizing core sound libraries and a reliable thermal setup, upgrading slowly (e.g., better lights, a dedicated tripod, and a reliable speaker) while leveraging existing gear like Fox Pro Inferno and audio packs.
Fur and Fundamentals- Cam Jones
Q: What gear adjustments have been most impactful for improving success at night?
Elevating and pointing the caller, switching from night vision to thermal for better target acquisition, and using tripods and ball heads to stabilize shots and reduce movement.
Fur and Fundamentals- Cam Jones
Q: How has Cam adapted his coyote hunting strategy to the Michigan terrain around Grayling and LaZern?
Cam describes shifting from dog-driven approaches to more field-based calling setups, using small clearings, strategic tree patches, and elevated speaker placement to maximize visibility and sound propagation in dense cover.
Aspen Thicket Grouse Dogs- Dennis Stachewicz
Q: How did Aspen Thicket Grouse Dogs start and evolve over time?
It began with acquiring a dog and breeding choices that proved successful, gradually expanding into a kennel that prioritizes good breeding, mentorship, and paying the forward ethos, which includes guiding and training and keeping the operation sustainable rather than maximizing profits.
