Today is launch day for the all-new Bowtech Alliance and Alliance 33, and HuntStand is excited to officially announce our new partnership with Bowtech Archery as we kick off 2026.
In this episode of the HuntStand Podcast, Will Cooper gives his first impressions of Bowtech’s next-generation hunting bow, built for balance, stability, and confidence when it matters most. The Alliance platform brings together Bowtech’s DeadLock tuning system, CenterMass balance, and the new GripLock adjustable grip into a lightweight, refined package that feels custom-fit the moment you draw it back.
Will breaks down how the Alliance is built for both tight-quarters whitetail hunting and longer-range western setups, and why this bow stands out as one of Bowtech’s most intuitive hunting platforms to date.
Whether you’re in a tree stand, tucked into a ground blind, or stretching shots in open country, the Bowtech Alliance is built to remove guesswork and let you focus on the shot.

Live from deer camp in Kansas, HuntStand Podcast host Will Cooper sits down with longtime friend Cody Butler to tell the story of one of the most unreal bow seasons ever experienced.
Two bucks.
Both over 180 inches.
One season.
360+ inches of whitetail on the ground.
Between late-season sits and cold Kansas nights, Cody walks through the moments that led to tagging two absolute giants, the highs and lows in between, and the quiet moments where you realize how little of this is actually in your control.
Some seasons you grind.
Some seasons you wait.
And every once in a while, you’re simply blessed.
This is a raw, camp-side conversation about gratitude, patience, and a season that felt bigger than the inches on a tape. The kind of year that humbles you and reminds you why we step into the woods in the first place.
No filters. No hype. Just the story behind 360+ inches of whitetail and how it all came together.

After a hard week chasing aoudad in the rugged country of West Texas, Will Cooper shares his first impressions of the Lathrop & Sons Custom Boot System — and it made an immediate impact.
Built around a custom-mapped fit, the system delivers serious support, stability, and comfort in steep, rocky terrain. From long glassing sessions to aggressive climbs, Will noticed his feet stayed locked in with no hot spots or fatigue, even during long days in unforgiving country.
These boots don’t feel like something you have to break in. They feel right from the start, which matters when every step counts.
After one demanding week in West Texas, it’s clear this system is built for hunters who push deep and stay on their feet in tough terrain.

In this episode, Josh breaks down a simple upgrade that can completely change your cold-weather hunts: replacing your stock boot insoles with the Lathrop & Sons Non-Typical Insole. He explains how its insulating foam barrier, 3-D heat-trapping design, and solid arch/heel support help keep your feet warm, dry, and comfortable when temps drop.
If you struggle with cold feet in rubber boots, waders, or late-season pack boots, this small switch can make a big difference. Josh shares why it works, how to set it up, and why a better insole is one of the smartest cold-weather gear hacks you can make this season.

In this episode, Josh Dahlke breaks down one of the most unique rifle suppressors to hit the market: the brand-new AC30 B.O.B. from Savage.
Unlike traditional muzzle-mounted suppressors, the AC30 B.O.B. (Back-Over-Barrel) partially encloses the barrel—creating added internal volume, improving balance, and delivering impressive sound suppression without stacking unnecessary length onto your rifle. Josh dives into what makes this design different, why it matters for hunters, and how a suppressor like B.O.B. can elevate your shooting experience in the field.
If you're a gear-focused hunter or shooter looking for cutting-edge innovation, this episode gives you a clear, no-nonsense look at Savage’s latest breakthrough.

Some people enjoy deer hunting. Brian Murphy built his entire life around it.
In this episode, Will Cooper and Josh Dahlke sit down with one of the most influential figures in modern deer management to unpack the story of a man whose passion for whitetails turned into a lifelong mission. Brian Murphy—HuntStand's Head Wildlife Biologist and formerly the CEO of QDMA—has spent decades fighting for healthier deer herds, better habitat, and a brighter future for hunters.
From childhood fascination to global conservation work, Brian’s journey is anything but ordinary. He shares how a single obsession with understanding whitetails pushed him into wildlife biology, led him around the world studying deer species, and eventually put him at the helm of an organization that reshaped how Americans think about herd health and ethical hunting.
Throughout the conversation, Brian opens up about the early sparks that ignited his love for deer, the scientific mindset that has guided every step of his career, and the pivotal moments that defined his leadership at QDMA. He reflects on decades of research, countless hours in the field, and a lifetime spent trying to understand the animals that shaped his purpose.
This episode isn’t just about deer management—it’s about a man whose dedication helped influence an entire generation of hunters. It’s the story of someone who devoted everything to understanding, protecting, and elevating the whitetail experience for everyone who steps into the woods.
