In the outback of Australia, Brady sits down with Drew Miles of Tricer to talk Sambar deer, hunting styles, and gear built to work when it counts. They break down what makes Sambar so tough to hunt, what they learned hunting with Australian locals, and why some shot opportunities in that country only last seconds. They also get into the nuts and bolts of the hunt—field care, packing meat, cooking Sambar deer, and the little details that matter when you’re a long way from the truck. We talk a lot of gear, including the Neville brothers’ Rough Ridge Stove company, Tricer gear innovation, and building products for hunters who actually use their gear hard. From bipods and panheads to micro-panning and backcountry stoves, this conversation is all about finding better ways to hunt.
Trail talks with Towson Jenkins to break down their weekend at the Las Vegas archery shoot—the nerves, the pressure, and everything they learned stepping into one of the largest archery shoots in the world.

From equipment choices and mental game struggles to shot execution under pressure, this episode is a raw look at what happens when bowhunters step into the target world.

Montana might be one of the most confusing states in the West for nonresident hunters to figure out when it comes to the deer and elk draw, and in this episode, Brady sits down with Dave Barnett of GOHUNT to break it all down. From combination licenses and preference points to bonus points and the infamous zero-point quirk, this conversation unpacks how Montana’s deer and elk application process really works for nonresidents. Dave explains why Montana’s system feels so complicated, and why understanding the difference between opportunity, dream hunts, and points matters when building a strategy. They also dive into GOHUNT’s new Missouri launch, Midwest whitetail opportunities, the importance of e-scouting during application season, and how Insider Plus members can get expert help navigating deadlines, unit research, and application planning.
