Today on the podcast I’m joined by my buddy Sam Ubl. Sam has been hunting public and by permission land, and using water access way before it was “cool.” Sam has a DIY mentality, where there’s a will there’s a way. This approach came from trudging through the swamps of Wisconsin with his dad as a youngster, where sometimes making your own water access skis were a necessity to cross the marsh, reeds and bog. Now…with a camera in hand you can see Sam and his crew at work on Chase Nation. This conversation was a long time coming, and hope you all enjoy it as much as I did - thanks for listening.

Today on the podcast I’m joined by my buddy Dan Johnson. If you’re anything like Dan and I (and all of you out there juggling family, work and other responsibilities), it seems like our time gets more limited every year. Whether by choice or out of necessity, efficiency is the name of the game. Gone are the days of having all the time in the world to scout or hunt endlessly. Or have all puzzle pieces to the chess match. Now we rely on past experiences to fill in the gaps and make quick decisions. Whether that’s when to move, when to hunt, what cold fronts to hunt or…if you’re better served knowing out that honey do list this week vs hunting. All of these decisions come a little quicker with a little more accuracy with experience. Always a good hang with Dan, hope you all dig the chat - thanks for listening.

Today on the podcast I’m joined by my buddy Brandon Barlow. Brandon hunts public and small permission parcels in the south. As a native New Yorker he's had to adapt his hunting approach from relying on the historical calendar dates of good whitetail hunting...to now using long-term data to keep him in the game as his season is much longer. And the deer seem to have a much broader breeding window within specific pockets. He runs 100+ cameras a year and has been able to glean some pretty interesting observations. I'm a long-term data guy myself and I was looking forward to picking up a few new nuggets of insight for myself - thanks for listening.

Today on the podcast I’m joined by my buddy Tim Bunao. Tim and I are birds of a feather in the sense that when we set a goal…there’s no turning back. We both have adopted a similar approach the past few years…and that’s simplifying things, and trusting our gut to find more success. Tim Moved west to expand his hunting opportunities a few years ago…he’s still a die-hard whitetail bow hunter. Now he ’s just added a few species to list. He had an epic season this year from as last minute move to stalk a whitetail, to killing a giant bull and stalking and killing a mountain lion the same day…with a bow! Super stoked to have Tim back on…he’s the real deal - thanks for listening.

Prior to recording this episode, Todd and I spent the day in his shop building my zero arrow and shooting his long bow that he gifted me, until I have my made.
