From watching his dad’s headlamp come out of the swamp after dark to sitting alone in a cherry tree at 9 years old, his story is rooted in family, hard country, and learning the long way.

Boaz Koski grew up in the thick, wet timber of southwest Washington, where 50 yard shots felt long and the rain was just part of the deal.

From sitting on the ground ne...
Mitchell heads to the Tennessee River valley of Northwest Alabama to talk with Will Greene, a farm kid who grew up chasing ducks and quail long before deer ever showed up on their land.

They break down how agriculture shapes deer movement, why Alabama’s rut can span three months, and how northern genetics mixed with native ...
At 66, Marc Mansfield has worn a firefighter’s helmet, a barber’s smock, and a whole lot of busted-up bone screws.

In this episode, Mitchell sits down with a man who’s seen more than most and somehow kept hunting through it all. He’s a life-flighted firefighter (twice), a father who coached his boys through sports and into the woods, and a lifel...

Eric Lochman grew up hunting the cold woods of Pennsylvania, where opening day meant tree forts, deer drives, and enough pressure to push whitetails into the thickest cover they could find.

In this episode, Eric breaks down old school Pennsylvania deer drives, how rifle pressure changes deer movement instantly, ...
Daniel Davis grew up in the hills of central West Virginia, following his dad through steep hollers, creek bottoms, and big timber. Hunting there meant learning the woods the hard way. No food plots.

In this episode, Daniel talks about being “turned loose” as a teenager, the trust his dad placed in him, and how solo bowhunting became part of who he is. They get into West Virgin...
Weber Herbison grew up hunting the Mississippi Delta, where big woods, flat ground, and endless options give whitetails every advantage. He still hunts the same kind of country today, balancing life as a dentist with a season spent trying to outthink deer that refuse to play by Midwest rules. No funnels. No predictable movement. Just patience, trial and error, and long sits wondering where they went. In this episode, Weber talks about starting young, learning the woods by following his dad, a...
It ain’t every day a food plot guy from Southeast Missouri gets the mic, but Callie Grubbs has a story worth hearing. Born and raised in rural Missouri, Callie started like most.

In this episode, Callie talks about growing u...
Before he ever pulled a trigger, Dustin Daniels was wrapped in a sleeping bag with his grandpa, watching the woods wake up.

In this gritty, down-to-earth episode, Mitchell Fox sits down with John Padgett from Georgia. He’s a woodsman shaped by riverlines, traplines, and the kind of Southern upbringing that’s getting harder to come by. They dig into the moment a sharp old doe somehow sensed John’s presence. No scent. No sound. No sightline. Just instinct. That brush with wild awareness leads into deeper ground, as John shares how bowhunting slowly became his last true link to a vanishing way of life. From running t...

In this episode, Destiny shares what it’s really like being a new b...
Some hunters grow up in it. Jonathan McCormick grew into it by accident. A simple favor for a neighbor, a garage full of euro mounts, and one big question changed everything.

In this episode, Jonathan sits down from Bountiful, Utah and talks with the honesty of a man who never pretends to be more than he is. Early thirties. Five kids. Nine to five j...
