Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#438 - 40 Years of Monster Bucks and Realtree Camo with Bill & Tyler Jordan
Q: Was there a point where Realtree was more of a media company than a licensing company?
Bill says the businesses developed together: he viewed media as a springboard for Realtree, while television and Monster Bucks also gave hunters and outdoor personalities a platform.
#438 - 40 Years of Monster Bucks and Realtree Camo with Bill & Tyler Jordan
Q: Do I try to go a little bit deeper into the fishing side?
Bill weighed pursuing tournament bass fishing against his lifelong passion for bowhunting, then chose to build a camouflage business based on a pattern he had sketched himself.
MDRN Whitetail Ep. #10 - Hunting the Rut With a SYSTEM You Can Trust w/ Joe Miles
Q: What was the date of that?
Miles says he believes the Kansas hunt took place on November 3rd or 4th, and describes how a buck came to a scrape after he grunted at it.
MDRN Whitetail Ep. #10 - Hunting the Rut With a SYSTEM You Can Trust w/ Joe Miles
Q: Do you think the term funnel and pinch point are interchangeable, or are those two different things?
Miles says hunters often use the terms interchangeably, but he favors funnel because he is looking for multiple trails converging into one point.
#436 - The 2026 Rut Calendar: Every Key Date That You NEED To Hunt This Fall with Jason Michael
Q: But what do you have for us?
The episode presents a generalized, practical framework—two peak windows in October and November, with detailed attention to wind, moon phases, and daily timings—designed to help listeners plan their hunts around movement and feeding/activity windows rather than chasing exact guarantees.
