    DEER CAMP Starts NOW: Family, Stories & Getting Ready for the Season!

    Deer camp isn’t just about the hunt—it’s about the people, the memories, and the traditions that keep us coming back year after year. In this episode, we kick off deer season a little early with a special preseason deer camp gathering with family and friends. We look back at some of the legendary deer and unforgettable hunts from years past, share the stories that have become part of our deer camp history, and talk about what we’re expecting as we head into another deer season. But this episode is about more than bucks, tags, and hunting plans. We dive into why it’s so important to include the entire family in deer camp—even those who don’t hunt. Spouses, kids, grandparents, and friends can all play a role in the traditions, laughs, meals, stories, and memories that make deer camp special. Because when it’s all said and done, the biggest memories from deer camp aren’t always the ones with antlers attached. Deer Camp Starts NOW. The stories are already being told, the plans are being made, and another season is just around the corner. 🦌 Send us Fan Mail

    He’s Been Shooting Guns for Years… So Why Did He NEVER Hunt?

    How can someone spend years shooting guns but never step foot in the woods to hunt? In this episode of the Minnesota Rackstars Hunting Podcast, we sit down with a lifelong shooter who didn’t take up hunting until just last year. His story is an interesting look at the difference between knowing how to shoot a gun and actually becoming a hunter. We talk about his years of shooting experience, some fascinating gun facts, what he’s learned about firearms along the way, and—most importantly—what kept him from hunting for all those years. What finally changed his mind? What was his first hunting experience like? And did all those years behind a gun actually prepare him for the challenges of hunting? Whether you’re an experienced hunter, a firearms enthusiast, or someone who has always wondered what it takes to make the jump from shooting to hunting, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. 🎙️ Listen in as we explore guns, hunting, misconceptions, and what finally brought a longtime shooter into the deer woods! #MinnesotaRackstars #HuntingPodcast #DeerHunting #GunTalk #Firearms #MinnesotaHunting #HuntingStories Send us Fan Mail

    Food Plots, Wisconsin Bucks & The Drone Debate: Where Do We Draw the Line?

    Fall is right around the corner, which means it’s time to talk food plots, big bucks, and getting ready for deer season!
