  • Great show!

    Love the perspectives and it pains me a bit but can’t be denied. The outdoors needs to be more welcoming to all and there should never be a barrier. I have several friends who don’t have the same color of skin as I do, but we are one in the same and the passion is equal. Keep up the good work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Whitetail Landscapes - Fixing Degraded Forest, Hinge Cutting, Herbicide, Healthy Habitats
Q: How do hinge cutting and other practices balance deer habitat with forest health?
Hinge cutting creates durable, messy structures on the forest floor that protect young regeneration from deer browse while still allowing habitat development and regeneration, with careful timing and species choice to prevent excessive damage.
Whitetail Landscapes - Fixing Degraded Forest, Hinge Cutting, Herbicide, Healthy Habitats
Q: What is crop tree release and how does it work in a degraded forest?
Crop tree release focuses on selecting and releasing individual, desirable trees by removing crowns or competing nearby trees so these target trees can grow more vigorously, improve health, and set a foundation for a more resilient forest.
N.F.C. - We Don't Live In Michigan w/ Parker McDonald
Q: Now, not being from Michigan, why do you think all of a sudden people are pushing for rule changes across multiple states?
The guests suggest that much of the support is social media driven and rooted in jealousy, with outrage on forums fueling a perception that regulation is needed; they acknowledge mixed real data but emphasize observed outcomes like bigger bucks in some regions after restrictions, while also noting potential drawbacks like changes to deer camp culture.
How To Hunt Turkey - South To North: Turkey Strategy
Q: What are the biggest differences in strategy between Florida/Alabama and Michigan?
Florida and Alabama demand more stealth and willingness to move with denser cover and water-centric habitats, while Michigan requires patience and the ability to stay with a gobbler across longer, more open terrain where depth perception and open spaces challenge shot placement.
Western Rookie - Remote Scouting
Q: How important is e-scouting before you come out?
Very important; it creates a baseline of areas to check and informs road networks and access, but field scouting remains essential to confirm conditions and stability of elk habitat.
