Description

I’m a blue collar family man that hunts 150 + days a year. This podcast is a place for me to answer questions, do hunt recaps, rant about funny things that happen to me as a dad or on the job site, and most importantly try to get the info out there to guys who want to hunt as much as the “insta-fluencers” but don’t think it’s attainable as an average, everyday, normal guy.. I’m here to tell you it’s 100% doable through hard work and some lucky/smart decisions. I’ll share things I’ve learned over the years to build this lifestyle I’m blessed with and hopefully a few laughs at my expense.

I’ve been “running” for over 10 years fairly consistently but up till a few weeks ago I never actually considered myself a runner.. BUT I DO NOW! A little predator hunting, a little turkey scouting, and some hot takes on running from a novice!

For a lack of better shit to talk about…. AKA hunting… discussing “health” how dumb 75 hard is… a rant about tips (just begging to get my food spit in or gar holed by guides) and rounding it all off with a message to king douchefluencer himself… who could I be talking about..? Guess you’ll have to take the bait and listen…. It’s Dudley… I don’t play those stupid games..! 😎

NEW YEAR.. SAME OL ME

2026-01-0858:51

I WAS supposed to have my far more interesting buddies on to talk guiding stories and the dumb shit clients do… but we’re old and I never prioritize this podcast! So instead you get to hear more of my garbage.. same ol shit.. complaining about being fat even though I’m not interested in taking a full handle on my diet… bitching about whitetail and their incredible matrix abilities… and other shit that I’ve already forgotten… but let’s be honest no one reads these “summaries” anyway!

This week I was hunting mule deer at home in Nebraska, running 5K’s with my kids and living that “EARN YOUR HUNT” lifestyle all while being filmed for an upcoming film for Argali’s YouTube page. Hunting is a matter of inches there is a small margin between perfect shot and shit show. YOU DON’T LEARN ANYTHING FROM A PERFECT SHOT! drinking game phrase of the week: “it is what it is” try monotone too hammered you’ll never accomplish anything this week!

In the words of the late great Clay Newcomb.. “I really doubt… you’re gonna wanna miss this one…” 😂 he’s not dead.. late great just sounds good.. ENJOY!
