Hunting, fishing, and the outdoor recreation is a big part of who a lot of people are. But it's just one part. We aren't experts. We aren't gurus.

In a lot of ways, 2020 was a challenging year. For gun owners new and old, finding ammunition for their firearms was another challenge. These ammo shortages aren't a new thing. We've seen several over the last few decades. Some of it can't be avoided, but there may be ways that you go about stocking your gun safe that makes your more prepared for an ammo shortage, and more likely to keep your reserves at levels that you are comfortable with. Trent dives in to how he approaches the concepts of redundancy and consolidation to optimize ammunition availability.

If you going into the outdoors to hunt, hike, bike, fish, or anything else, chances are you are getting there with a truck or SUV. So what kind of upgrades might you want to make the most of your time afield, and what kind of things should you be keeping in your vehicle if you want to make sure that when you get into the backcountry, you can make it back to civilization. Will and Trent discuss, and then close the episode out with the second Parting Shot segment.
Why don't we see the same kind of fervor and hype around turkey season as we do deer season? For the most part it's the same hunters, in the same places. Of course big bucks get the attention, but what's the reason for the difference? Favorite calls, preferred decoys, and special guns.
The guys also introduce their first gear draft, and ask for your feedback if they missed something.
