Alex Rutledge and Redbone sit down with Chef Corey Freeman — a Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef, apple orchard owner, and passionate hunter on a mission to harvest a wild turkey in all 49 states. Corey shares what it was like cooking at turkey camp alongside Tyler Farr, breaks down his Japanese-inspired wild turkey karaage don, apple cider glazed pork chops, and fire-grilled tomahawk steaks and wagyu. He talks about the pressures of hunting public land, the art of sounding different than every other hunter in the woods, and why slowing down — especially in the woods with his four-year-old daughter — has become his greatest harvest. Plus: a big announcement about turkey camps with Tyler Farr, and a bonus segment with Corey's smoked ricotta quail egg ravioli recipe straight from Italy.

Alex Rutledge and Redbone welcome Kentucky Headhunters co-founder Richard Young straight from a tomato plant run in Glasgow, Kentucky. Richard delivers a masterclass in Southern storytelling — from brother Fred's midnight tractor rides and his collection of 50 antique machines with only 4 batteries, to the band's history-making leap from a Kentucky holler to Sweden Rock Festival (opening three slots before Queen) and sold-out UK arena runs alongside Blackstone Cherry. We also get into turkey hunting on the creek, a surprise bear sighting, and cousin Johnny's electric-bike stealth hunting strategy. After Richard heads off for tomato plants, Alex breaks down a monster spring turkey season — 29 gobblers called in across five states — plus a deep dive into Missouri's #2 national turkey harvest ranking. The show wraps with a full wild turkey recipe segment: BBQ breast with Cajun Injector, brine techniques, and Chick-fil-A-style turkey nuggets. The Kentucky Headhunters play Salem, Arkansas' Fulton County Homecoming (77 years strong) this Saturday night.

Country music artist Kevin Weldon drops in to talk about his iconic redneck hunting songs that racked up nearly a billion downloads, what he's been up to since stepping back from recording, and his big new project — a Christmas feature film called The Wishlist, set for a 2027 release. Kevin also shares a brand-new praise and worship song he's been crafting for years that he believes could go worldwide. Jack, a 78-year-old waterfowl and turkey fanatic, shares his hunting adventures, the hilarious story of a mounted deer that got revenge from the wall, and why it's never too late to chase longbeards.

Alex Rutledge and the American Roots Outdoors crew welcome back hillbilly barber, outdoor writer, and river conservationist Richard Whiteside from Donovan, Missouri for a packed episode. The guys kick off with a discussion on a controversial Illinois bill that would tax ammunition and require serial numbers on every round — and what it could mean for hunters across the Midwest. Then they dive deep into the 2026 spring turkey season: why gobblers are quiet, how the warm weather has pushed the breeding cycle weeks ahead, and what that means for hunters heading into youth season. Richard shares gripping stories of outsmarting pressured birds, including a gobbler that took three days to pattern, and the moment he realized sometimes you have to "deer hunt" a turkey. The crew also covers the River Master's Elite Series smallmouth bass tournament schedule, plus details on Richard's Current River County Line Trash Bash cleanup event. In the bonus segment: wild turkey recipes, raising heritage breed turkeys, a father-son hunting lesson, and a closing scripture to cap off a great show.

In Memory of Jackie Owens

Join host Alex Rutledge for a deeply moving and inspirational episode featuring predator hunting expert Eddie Owens. Recorded on January 1st, 2026, just weeks after the passing of Eddie's beloved wife Jackie, this powerful conversation goes far beyond hunting tactics to explore the profound impact of faith, love, and partnership.

Eddie shares the beautiful story of how he and Jackie met in seventh grade, their 27-year journey together, and how Jackie transformed from a novice into an accomplished predator hunter who could outshoot her husband. But this episode's heart lies in Jackie's courageous battle with ovarian cancer—how she worked the day after chemo treatments, continued hunting in Montana during her fight, and inspired hundreds with her unwavering faith.

Through tears and laughter, Eddie recounts memorable hunts, discusses their favorite rifles and cooking recipes, and delivers a powerful testimony about caregiving, legacy, and trusting God through life's darkest valleys. Jackie's story of strength, grace, and faith touched an estimated 500-800 people at her service and continues to inspire through this heartfelt tribute.

This episode is for anyone who:

Values faith and family above all else
Wants to understand the power of outdoor partnerships
Needs encouragement during difficult times
Loves authentic stories of courage and legacy

Part 1 of a 3-part series on predator hunting. Next week: Essential equipment for beginning predator hunters.

The title says it all..... Where did the Deer go?

Deer harvest in Missouri this year is significantly less than last year and everyone is asking WHY?.....We look at some of the possibilities that have caused many hunters here in the Ozarks to report many less deer than normal being seen from the stands and blinds. Was it a change in the season dates, moon phase, temps or lack of hunters in the woods? We will touch base on all of it!
