We trade turkey hunting chaos stories with Seth Beatty, from filming a first-time bird to shaking off a brutal miss and earning a redemption tom the hard way. Then we pivot to a season-long whitetail chase where trail cameras, mock scrapes, and disciplined decisions finally lead to a 15-point payoff and a heavy dose of perspective.
• ground blind setups in open fields and why terrain forces the choice
• decoy strategy with Avian-X and reading a gobbler’s body language
• letting a new hunter shoot first and what that moment changes
• gear failure comedy and staying locked in anyway
• the long-shot miss and the immediate check for feathers or sign
• patience, calling sequences, and not overplaying a committed bird
• pulling a jake decoy to avoid spooking an older tom
• why turkey hunting scratches a different itch than whitetail hunting
• trail camera scouting, pattern building, and the ethics debate
• mock scrapes, licking branches, scent control, and hunting the weather
• the behind-the-tree moment, the shot, the recovery, and the relief
• how family support and faith shape the grind

We sit down with Greg Kimball to talk about going from total beginner to confident deer hunter in just a few seasons, and what it really takes to learn the craft on public land without a built-in mentor. We get honest about mistakes, cold sits, gear choices, and the mindset shift that turns frustration into hard-earned success.
• Greg’s background and why he started Outdoors With Greg
• starting hunting during COVID and learning through YouTube
• dealing with gatekeeping and finding mentors who actually help
• beginner mistakes with access, sweating in, and setting up too close
• cold weather lessons and why late-season clothing matters
• first harvest story and how it changes confidence
• bowhunting learning curve including draw length, releases, and sighting in
• saddle hunting versus climbers for comfort, cost, and mobility
• the double-up hunt story with a doe then a mature buck
• why shots and pressure do not always end movement
• hunting on military bases including check-in rules and the skinning shed
• dream hunts, traveling for new terrain, and building skills across states
• best advice for new hunters including licensing, safety, and committing to a plan
If you have any questions, make sure one, you follow Greg. Two, yeah, please, you you go let him know. If you got any questions, let him know anything like that.

We talk with author and trapper Zach Hansen about late-onset hunting, moving to remote Idaho, and why trapping wolves sharpened every other outdoor skill. The path runs through failure, grit, and reclaiming trades we let slip as a country.
• adult-onset hunting sparked by nutrition and self-reliance
• moving to a 35-person Idaho town at the end of an 80-mile dirt road
• bowhunting mistakes, missed shots, and learning discipline
• Sawtooth terrain realities and the mental game of backcountry hunts
• why trades and shop-class skills matter for modern life
• trapping as the fastest route to woodsmanship and animal behavior
• wolf population growth, management needs, and scent control
• policy pressure from lawsuits vs strong local support
• respect for predators, ethical realities, and community mentorship
Make sure you go check Zach out. Make sure you go check out his podcast and his books. If you want to find out more about trapping or how to get into it, don't hesitate. Please hit Zach up. If he can't, he will be able to find somebody and tell them to help you out.

A brutal Halloween storm gave way to a November surge, and our team caught fire with a string of kills anchored by a tight, suburban-style buck recovery and a five-yard heart shot. We trade trail cam dogma for aggressive rut moves, ethics in meat salvage, and practical filming tips that actually help.
• crew hot streak after storm
• small parcel strategy around orchards and marsh bedding
• target bucks Mr Perfect and Warrior weighed up
• shot details, rain, and recovery plan with thermal and dog
• meat salvage decisions and reporting process
• aggressive rut tactics over camera dependence
• saddle setup with screw-in steps and close-range shot
• trail camera grids, timestamps, and off-path placement
• calling preferences in doe-heavy regions
• filming challenges, Insta360 workflow, and power management
Stay looking out for the announcement to our game dinner. I should be announcing the date probably within the end of November

A cold front flipped the rut switch, and we ride the highs and lows: Peyton’s 650-yard recovery, Zach’s near-misses, a field-edge long shot with a dog track, and Connor’s October 28 magic. We dig into weather, wind, calling, ethics at low light, and why access wins.
• reading the wind and barometric pressure for rut movement
• edge sits with standing corn and late-morning cruising
• when to get aggressive with grunts and snort-wheezes
• low-light restraint and shot accountability
• long-range bow practice for field edges
• tracking strategy with and without a dog
• October 28 timing and midday sits
• scrapes, swollen necks, and pre-estrus tells
• safety harness reminders and lightning bail-outs

The rain hammered down, the wind never settled, and a 20-year mystery finally walked into view. We’re fresh off New Jersey’s bear week with stories that run from legendary to hard-earned: Eddie closes the book on “Diamond Bear,” a boar first photographed in 2004 with a hollow diamond blaze on his chest, and we unpack the meticulous bait logs, peanut-fueled strategy, and storm gamble that made the difference. It’s a masterclass in reading daytime bears, avoiding being patterned, and using scent-only sits to force curiosity when bait would only feed competition.
Then we shift to firsts and fixes. TJ times a 30–40 minute drizzle window, scrambles to a rock ledge, and arrows a 300-plus bruin at spitting distance—a case study in making short seasons count. Chris grinds an all-day sit through a nor’easter, puts a perfect lung shot on a bear that still crosses a thigh-deep creek, and leans on a tracking dog to finish the job when rain erases sign. Frank owns a miss after a bear ducks an arrow—yes, it happens—then redeems himself with a tight quartering shot that wrecks lungs. We get real about angles, penetration, and why heavy arrows and patience matter when fat, shield, and weather complicate everything.
We also zoom out: harvest numbers by zone and county, what a 15.7% harvest rate says about pressure and weather, and the cultural logistics you only learn by dragging bears—crew coordination, quads, check station timing, meat care, and why some hunts start with a plan for getting 400 pounds out of a swamp. We even wade into Segment B’s bow ban and make the case for “any implement” access when cold temps favor ethical results. When deer and bears time-share baits and sows drop four or five cubs, management isn’t abstract—it’s on our cameras, in our freezers, and at the check station scale.
Subscribe for more big-animal strategy, share this with a hunter who needs storm-play confidence, and drop us a note: bow or gun for late season, and what’s your best plan for a mile-long drag?

We trade the “October lull” myth for real field notes on wind, drought, and timing rain, while gearing up for New Jersey’s bear week and a patient whitetail plan built on funnels, scrapes, and clean access. Midwest drought, East Coast color, and tag policies collide as we map the best sits ahead.
• warm, dry, and calm evenings changing wind strategy
• why high winds don’t shut deer down

The moment Christina Rafalco describes will resonate with any hunter—that magical time when the sun begins to set, the woods are bathed in golden light, and an extraordinary stillness descends. "Unless you're in that moment experiencing the quiet and how everything just settles down," she explains, "you can't understand it. I could do that every single day of my life."
Christina brings refreshing energy to this episode as she shares her journey into bowhunting as a 48-year-old single mom. Her story begins just four years ago when a relationship introduced her to archery, quickly sparking a passion that transcended target shooting. With candid humor, she describes overcoming a severe fear of heights—starting with a modest 10-foot ladder stand before conquering her anxiety to climb 30 feet up. "Now I'm fine with it," she laughs, detailing her evolution from nervous novice to confident hunter.
The conversation takes listeners through Christina's hunting adventures across New Jersey's public and private lands. She doesn't shy away from the challenges, from tracking her first deer to having her birthday-gift ladder stand stolen by another hunter. These experiences taught her resilience and the importance of community. When describing the hunting brotherhood that welcomed her, Christina notes how fellow hunters looked out for her on public land: "Nobody would leave until they knew I was back to my vehicle and safe."
Her most captivating story recounts harvesting her first buck—a seven-pointer she ultimately commemorated with a tattoo. Listeners will feel the tension as she describes drawing her bow while her heart raced, watching through her peep sight as the buck gradually emerged from behind a tree. The emotional aftermath of that successful heart shot captures why hunting means so much to so many: "I'm standing over him with tears coming down my face because it's just such a moment."
Whether you're a seasoned hunter or curious about getting started, Christina's perspective offers valuable insights into hunting strategies, gear choices, and the unique considerations women face in the field. Her advice to other women interested in hunting resonates with authenticity: "Don't be shy. Ask questions. You're not going to learn by not asking."

The countdown to hunting season is officially underway, and the excitement is building among the Boondocks Hunting team. As summer heat bears down, the crew gathers to welcome newest team member Zach and share their pre-season preparations, challenges, and expectations.
The conversation kicks off with a deep dive into the annual Boondocks Hunting competition—a months-long friendly tournament running from September through February that assigns point values to different game animals with various bonuses for antler size, weight, and more. With a modest $30 buy-in and an emphasis on ethical hunting practices, this competition has become a cornerstone of community building among the team. Past champion Brad holds a two-time winning streak that everyone's eager to break this season.
Summer scouting reports reveal fascinating patterns emerging in this unusually hot and rainy year. While mineral sites are showing heavy activity with impressive ground depressions, target buck sightings remain surprisingly scarce compared to previous seasons. The team theorizes that high corn and bean fields are providing ample cover, temporarily changing movement patterns compared to last year's drought conditions. Trail cameras are capturing more bears than mature bucks, suggesting this season may unfold differently than anticipated.
The extreme weather conditions are creating unique challenges—from encounters with rattlesnakes and wasp nests to sinking knee-deep in flooded terrain. These stories of outdoor mishaps provide both laughs and valuable lessons about respecting the unpredictability of nature. The group shares their concerns about early season hunting conditions, predicting higher mosquito pressure and changed deer movement patterns due to abundant natural water sources.
Join us for this pre-season conversation that captures the anticipation, brotherhood, and challenges that make hunting about so much more than just the harvest. Subscribe to follow the team's adventures as they prepare to head into what promises to be an exciting and unpredictable hunting season!

The unexpected journey from non-hunter to passionate outdoorsman lies at the heart of our conversation with Joe Arabia from Northern Jersey Outdoors. Having only started hunting six years ago at age 30, Joe offers a refreshing perspective that breaks from the typical "lifelong hunter" narrative that dominates outdoor media.
Joe's story begins with a surprise 30th birthday gift – apprentice hunting permits from his cousin who had been trying to get him into the woods for years. That first hunt, watching a doe approach through lightly falling snow, his heart pounding so hard he could barely hold his shotgun steady, changed everything. "It opened up a different part of my brain," Joe explains, "I can't picture living without it anymore." This transformation from complete novice to successful trophy hunter provides a roadmap for late-blooming outdoorsmen everywhere.
We dive deep into the unique challenges of hunting Northern New Jersey, where mature bucks are scarce, predator pressures are high, and deer populations are concentrated in suburban areas where hunting isn't permitted. Joe shares the thrilling story of his 133-inch buck, taken during the rut after calling in the dominant deer who came charging in to chase off a younger rival. The conversation flows through tactical discussions about saddle hunting versus traditional tree stands, the effectiveness of different hunting strategies in the Garden State, and the complex relationship between hunting pressure and deer behavior. Whether you're hunting the crowded Northeast or just curious about regional differences in deer patterns, Joe's insights reveal how adaptability and persistence lead to success.

Matt Williams shares his journey as a professional deer tracker and explains how his bloodhound Arrow helps hunters recover wounded deer through specialized scent detection abilities.
• Bloodhounds excel at tracking in dry conditions and can follow scent trails 40+ hours old
• Wounded deer release pheromones that intensify further from the hit site, creating stronger trails as they progress
• Different hit locations require specific waiting periods before tracking – 3-4 hours for shoulder shots, 6-8+ hours for gut shots
• Grid searching by hunters creates confusing scent patterns that make professional tracking more difficult
• Liver hits to the smaller lobe typically cause faster expiration than larger lobe hits due to blood vessel concentration
• Fixed-blade broadheads perform better for shoulder shots while expandables excel in soft tissue
• Professional tracking requires strict adherence to property boundaries and permissions
• Weather conditions like rain and temperature impact tracking success but rarely prevent recovery
For tracking assistance in central and southern New Jersey, contact Matt Williams at 609-457-5904 or find On the Trail Deer Recovery on Facebook and Instagram.

This week, she joins me to recount her transition from the diamond to the wild, sharing the exhilaration of turkey hunts, her drenched triumph in a North Carolina downpour, and the camaraderie found amidst the great outdoors. If you've ever been curious about the draw of the hunt or the peculiar habits of turkeys, Ashley's tales will transport you straight to the heart of the action.
The chase is never the same twice, a fact anyone who has faced the cunning of a turkey or the unpredictability of the wild can vouch for.

As seasons change and the turkeys grow wiser, we hunters find ourselves debating the merits of decoys and reminiscing about hunts past. Ashley and I dissect the effectiveness of various hunting strategies, the peculiarities of laws across state lines, and the thrill of the chase, from North Carolina's soggy fields to the diverse terrains of Texas and Virginia. This episode isn't just about the hunt—it's about the stories, the landscapes, and the shared experiences that make us more than hunters; it's a celebration of a lifestyle that reveres wildlife and the raw, unpredictable beauty of nature.

Have you ever stood, heart pounding, as the vast wilderness stares back, its untold stories simmering under the canopy? Mike Slinkard, master bowhunter and innovator, did more than just stand—he walked into the depths and emerged with tales that breathe life into the visceral thrill of the hunt. As we sit down with Mike, he envelops us in a world where each draw of the bowstring is a dance with nature, sharing anecdotes from stalking the elusive Cape buffalo in the savannas of Africa to navigating the treacherous terrains of Alaska for the ultimate confrontation with a giant brown bear. His 49 successful elk hunts are a testament to his profound connection with the wild and his relentless pursuit of the hunt.
But what about the unseen dance, the electromagnetic waves that every living being emits? Mike takes us through the groundbreaking HECS technology, a fabric that acts as a Faraday cage, concealing a hunter's presence from the keen senses of their quarry. Delve into the science and the ancient intuitions as we unravel the traditional knowledge of stealth that may have been second nature to our ancestors. From the tangible essence of face-to-face encounters with formidable predators to the theoretical musings on electrical fields, this episode is a fusion of the practical hunter's wisdom with the innovative forefront of outdoor gear technology.
As the sun sets on our conversation, Mike reflects on the humbling highs and lows of bowhunting. He shares the stirring emotions that come from the unpredictability of the wild, the lessons learned, and how advancements like HECS gear, while influential, can never overshadow the raw, adrenaline-fueled essence of the hunt. We explore the future of these technologies, as well as the stories of skeptics turned believers, and ponder on the dream hunts that continue to fuel our passion for the great outdoors. Join us on this immersive journey through the eyes of a seasoned hunter, and let the call of the wild resonate within you.
