Just a Vermont kid who grew up in the same house his great-grandparents built, hunting close to home and figuring things out by doing. Mike Covey worked steel, turned wrenches, ran a massive maple syrup operation, and stacked more deer than most people will see in a lifetime. Somewhere along the way, he got pulled into the fight to protect hunting, fishing, and trapping in Vermont… and never really got out. In this episode, Mi...
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. What started as kids being turned loose to “walk the woods” slowly turned into a lifelong understanding of how pressure, access, and safety shape the way people hunt in the Northeast. 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. No easy access. Just pipeline cuts, rugged terrain, and years of trial and error that shaped how Daniel hunts today. 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.

Today, he’s neck deep in habitat work, running operations for a food plot company and helping hunters across the country build healthier soil and better herds. 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.

Dustin’s from Madison Heights, Virginia, and co-hosts the D&D Outdoors Podcast where he talks outdoor news and shares hunting stories with his buddy Dell. In this episode, he talks about gett...
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...
From throwing decoy bags bigger than him as a kid in Erie to running a waterfowl guide service in southern Ontario, Hunter Libra has packed a lifetime of hunting grit into just 27 years.

Now? She’s eaten up with it. Archery’s taught her patience, humility, and how fast a hunt can fall apart when your gear ain’t tuned right. 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. That moment pushed a North Carolina kid into the heart of the Rockies, and years later he is still chasing the lessons hidden in those mountains. 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...
He’s killed over 20 of North America’s big game species. No sponsors. No shortcuts. Just grit, maps, and a fire that won’t quit.

What do 39 turkeys, two alligators, and one very unfortunate cactus have in common? They’ve all tangled with Knox Guajardo—an eight-year-old Kansas hunter with more stories than most grown men.

From scoring his first antelope with a crossbow to chasing turkeys across ten different states, this youn...
Kayla Harrod isn’t out to impress anyone. She’s a part-time nurse practitioner, full-time mom of three, and a bowhunter with a Mathews bow and a dream.

In this raw, no-fluff episode, Cody sits down with Mitchell to talk about the reality of chasing big bucks on public with almost nothing in the wallet and even less room for mistakes. He breaks down how Michigan’s pressure shaped him, why mo...
Some stories remind hunters why the woods always have the final say. This week, Michigan bowhunter and entrepreneur Tom Spisz sits down with Mitchell Fox to talk about lessons learned from business, black bears, and getting turned around in the dark timber. Raised outside Ann Arbor, Tom grew up running behind his dad and uncles—“the OG Michigan hunters,” as he calls ’em—cutting his teeth on bait piles, red-tipped youth bows, and long, cold sits. Over the years he traded that pile of corn for ...
She didn’t grow up around guns, blinds, or whitetail stories at the dinner table. In fact, she didn’t even start hunting until her late 20’s. Just a 20-gauge, a dog named Luna, and a stubborn drive to figure it out herself. Trista’s journey into the hunting world is the kind most folks don’t talk about. She fumbled her way through turkey seasons, watched more YouTube than she’d admit, and had her first deer walk out while she was sipping coffee at her backyard firepit. But that’s what m...

The story of Brett Morris isn’t polished—it’s built on cracked boots, busted arrows, and a stubborn drive that never lets up. A blue-collar construction worker from the Midwest, Brett has balanced long days on the job with even longer sits in the stand, chasing deer, turkey, and anything else that calls the woods home. His hunting story started at 13, tagging along with his dad. Back then, sports had most of his attention. But by 15, the pull of hunting weekends outweighed the roar of the cro...
