KJ drew an Iowa archery tag — and after botching two shots at a deer of a lifetime on a muzzleloader hunt, he's coming back with a bow and a plan. Game warden Jeremy King and land agent Thomas Allen break down Iowa's EHD recovery, what trophy whitetail success actually looks like for an out-of-stater, and how to set trail cameras that don't lie to you. Also, some stories from the tree stand that cannot be unheard.

KJ sits down with Jacob Albaugh and Mike Herne with Tenet to talk about the problem nobody in the suppressor market had solved — how to get muzzle brake-level recoil reduction without the weight, the length, or the hearing damage. Jacob walks through the unlikely origin story, from filling a Savage .30-06 stock with Bondo and lead wheel weights just to tame the recoil, to cutting apart a suppressor and welding a muzzle brake onto it in a local shop, to the patented 3D-printed titanium designs Tenet builds today. Mike shares the bear hunt that made it click for him: one shot he couldn't spot and a bear that disappeared into the brush, and another later that season where the Limited kept him on target at 430 yards off a rock and a pack. The guys get into caliber-specific suppressor design, why timing your brake matters and how to do it, what additive manufacturing makes possible that standard machining never could, and they reveal Tenet's new Vesper series — a quiet-first counterpart to the recoil-first Limited line. Plus a look at where things stand on the NFA front and what it means for hunters.
