Hunt Suburbia Podcast

CJ McMahon has been a student of Dan Infalt's Hunting Beast tactics, reading, watching, and digesting as much information has he could over the years. Recently he has seen those efforts come to fruition as he has been consistently killing giant bucks with his archery equipment in the state of Maine. He also hunts New Hampshire and Massachusetts and has found success in those states as well. He comes on the podcast to talk about his most recent hunt, where he took a giant velvet buck on the opening day of Maine's expanded archery season. He also talks about his strategies, how some of them differ from Dan's, and some of the keys to his success that you all can take with you for seasons to come. TO SUPPORT OUR SHOW- Come to Huntstock!

SHOW SUMMARY Eric Cooper is a hunter from New Hampshire, who got into hunting as an adult. Growing up in a family that didn't have a hunting tradition, he found his passion for hunting from finding Meat Eater on Netflix, from culinary interest in cooking food naturally sourced, and through places like Huntstock. Eric and I discuss hunting strategies, onX tips, business philosophy, and many other topics. It is a great conversation the entire way through! Enjoy!

onX Legends Deer Camp Giveaway!! Enter this giveaway to hunt and share camp with Lanny Benoit, Dan Infalt, and Rick Labbe for FREE at https://huntstockevents.com/deer-camp-giveaway SHOW SUMMARY According to many across the country and most in the Northeast, Lanny Benoit is one of the greatest hunters to ever live. His father, Larry Benoit, put a spotlight on he and his sons when he appeared on the cover in 1970. Hunters all across the north country picked up the art of tracking big bucks the Benoit way through reading their books, watching their DVD's, and catching their seminars at hunting shows. Lanny is Larry's oldest son, and despite only having a 3rd grade education he has risen to the top of many fields including deer hunting, snowmobile racing, snowmobile engine building, skeet shooting and racing cars simply by having the most elite level of determination and work ethic. On this podcast we discuss his recent health scares and how he always seems to bounce back to perfect health, perhaps because of Someone watching over him. We discuss his life accomplishments and what he hopes the next generation will remember him for. And of course, we talk about deer hunting and his many adventures in that field. It's my great pleasure to put this podcast out for all to enjoy, and to get to sit down and spend 3 hours just chatting with a good friend!

John Eberhart is a self-taught hunter and considers that to be one of the main reasons he does things outside the norm. He attributes his success on the very fact that he wasn’t mentored by relatives or friends on old school hunting methods. He learned through trial and error and due to his serious nature, desire to succeed and attention to detail, through the years he’s developed tactics and strategies that have equated to consistent success on mature bucks in heavily pressured areas.
