    Ep.107 Trivia Night Challenge 7 Predator Edition!!, Test Your Skills

    Send a text Think you know predators? We put that to the test with a tight, high-energy trivia showdown that blends wild facts, fieldcraft, and a lot of laughs. We kick off with why predator control matters between seasons, then dive straight into the good stuff: a record 276-pound cougar from... find out where, how hyenas out-bite lions and steal meals, and why Texas holds the coyote crown while California’s policies complicate management and drive more human-wildlife conflict. From there, the conversation widens and the strategies sharpen. We break down two coyote weaknesses you can actually use in the field, talk through how echo and angle shape follow-up shots, and explore wolves as the planet’s most historically widespread land predator. The Himalayan wolf steals a scene with high-altitude blood adaptations, proving that terrain and physiology can flip the script on what thrives where. We even hand the crown for most successful hunter to an unexpected champion—the dragonfly—whose 95% hit rate reframes what it means to be efficient. The stakes rise with the deadliest single animal on record: a tigress responsible for 436 deaths in the early 1900s, a sobering look at how injury and pressure can change behavior. We close by settling the strongest cat bite debate—hint: it’s not the lion—and pulling practical takeaways for callers, trappers, and anyone trying to read a set, a sound, or a silhouette a little better. Along the way, we shout out Delta Waterfowl’s youth work, community support, and the value of getting new hunters in the game. If you love hunting, biology, and a little friendly chaos, this one hits the mark. Listen, keep score, and tell us your favorite fact.

    Ep.106 Atlanta Adventure: Hunts, Stars, DSC, And Two Country Boys Loose In The City

    Send a text Two country boys hit Atlanta for the Dallas Safari Club Expo and come home with a year’s worth of stories, hard-won tips, and new friends from across the hunting world. We start with a chaotic travel day—dead battery on the plane, a tarmac standoff, and a near-miss at a crosswalk—then step into the Georgia World Congress Center and realize just how big DSC really is. With more than 1,300 booths and outfitters from over 43 countries, it’s a living map of global hunting, conservation, and gear innovation. We meet TV icons Ralph and Vicki from Archer’s Choice, shake hands with Mr. Whitetail himself, Larry Weishuhn, and connect with DSC leadership on why the show’s funding model matters: grants for habitat, education, and anti-poaching. A South African outfitter lays out Botswana’s elephant math—land that can carry around 75,000 elephants now holds more than 150,000—making a clear case for science-based management. On the North American front, an Alaskan captain opens our eyes to a sleeper DIY blacktail hunt in the panhandle with accessible tags and high densities. Seminars deliver real field value. Dan Adler’s glassing masterclass shows how scanning right to left slows your brain and helps you catch the small, wrong-shaped details that give animals away. We get a primer on long-range thinking, then pivot to Craig Boddington’s Cape buffalo insights—angles, bullets, and the look that says you “owe it money.” The floor itself is a wonder: jaw-dropping taxidermy, museum-quality replicas for restricted imports, premium optics, Kenetrek boots, Holland & Holland and Rigby, and a $238,000 double in .700 Nitro that we admired more than we dared handle. Add Ox Ranch’s tanks and machine guns, plus the history and scale of King Ranch, and the spectrum from tradition to adrenaline comes into focus. The curveball? A late-night wander through a locked-down film set where Tulsa King shoots under cranes and fog. We watch the same scene run a dozen times, then a blacked-out van glides by with the cabin light on and Sylvester Stallone five feet away—scrolling, smoking, and still larger than life. We leave with future podcast guests booked, better glassing habits, and new perspective on how conservation, community, and adventure intersect.

    Ep.105 A Free-Range Texas Adventure That Checks Every Box

    Send a text A North Carolina houndsman meets a target-rich Texas and turns a bucket list into a full-blown field course. We kick off before daylight with bodies moving through mesquite and a cold, old buck that tests our patience until legal light. By 7:12 a.m., the tag is punched. That moment opens the gate to everything Texas does loud: thermal glass sweeping wheat fields, boars and sows spilling like ink across the dark, and a sudden realization that red reticles don’t work for colorblind eyes. Switch to green, and the hits land. Farmers breathe easier; we learn why hog control is stewardship, not spectacle. Midday brings rock and thorn, where an aoudad teaches new anatomy. Heart and lungs sit in the shoulder, not behind it, and a steady 200-yard shot with a 308 proves it. The meat is better than the myths, the country spare and beautiful, and the lesson simple: every region makes you relearn what you think you know. Then the surprise—Rios in the fall. With a legal rifle and a calm rest, a Rio turkey adds a Grand Slam square while highlighting how seasons, tools, and ethics shift across state lines. We collect coyotes over hog kills, trade stories about javelina and axis dreams, and map the contrasts between scrubby flats and the oak-tangled Appalachians. Threaded through it all is the power of dogs and good people. Tyler’s plot hound roots meet Texas blood-trailing pros who help youth hunters recover deer, turning near-misses into lifelong memories. It’s a reminder that conservation isn’t a slogan—it’s decisions made at night on farm roads, in daylight on glass, and beside kids learning to breathe and squeeze. If you’re weighing a Texas trip, this story delivers practical intel on free-range opportunities, hog management, gear choices from .308s to suppressed .223s, and the terrain truths that make or break a stalk. Subscribe, share with a friend who’s planning a hunt, and leave a review to help more folks find the show. What’s the first tag you’d punch on your own Texas run?

    A Rookie Host, Eight Friends, And 104 Episodes Later We Share What Worked, What Flopped, And What’s Next

    Send a text A hundred‑plus episodes, eight friends, four mics, and two years of hard lessons—this milestone is a field‑dressed look at how a basement idea turned into a Tuesday ritual with listeners in 41 countries. We open the blinds on the origin story, from unopened gear collecting dust to a single road trip that set the format: real hunts from real people, told without polish, because the story beats the score. We trade favorite moments that shaped the show’s voice: a bighorn sheep episode where nothing died but everything mattered; a female hunter pushing into trapping and snaring with grit; and the one‑eyed Maine bear that became local legend. Our trivia nights get their due, not as fluff but as a surprising classroom—questions tuned to challenge, teach, and spark arguments worth having. Along the way we own the misses, the nerves, and the times we forgot to press record, because that’s how average hunters become better ones. Then come the big swings. We announce a DIY Idaho archery elk drop camp—wall tents, hard miles, and wolf tags that could turn a bugle into a howl. A Yukon moose draw may be on the horizon, and we’re stepping into calling competitions to grow a local scene that rarely gets this kind of stage. We also put out a call for fresh voices: javelina experts, die‑hard anglers who can make us care about catching more than casting, and anyone with a hunt that left a mark. If you’re here for perfect, this isn’t that show. If you’re here for honest stories, hard laughs, and takeaways you can actually use, pull up a chair. Subscribe, share this with a buddy who needs a spark, and leave a quick review so more hunters find the campfire. Year three starts now.

    From Bowhunting To Better Deer Herds: How Local Clubs Shape Regulations

    Send a text If you’ve ever wondered why some places enjoy long archery seasons and robust deer herds while others lag behind, this conversation puts the puzzle together. We sit down with bowhunter advocate Tracy Price to unpack how local hunters can turn know-how and passion into real changes—longer seasons, smarter regulations, and stronger herds—by organizing through clubs that actually sit at the decision-making table. We start with the surprising reality in New Brunswick: archery makes up a tiny slice of total harvest yet faces one of the shortest seasons in North America. Tracy maps out why extending bow season creates more opportunity without risking herd numbers, and why this isn’t a gun-versus-bow fight—it’s a hunter-opportunity issue. From there, we dive into the herd science that matters most: age structure and doe-to-buck ratios. Passing on yearling bucks and improving doe tag programs can push herd growth toward that 30% potential in good winters, instead of the 5% many see now. Habitat gets an honest look too. Clearcuts, monoculture, and glyphosate reduce browse diversity, pushing deer into towns and lawns where food and safety converge. We share practical ways hunters are helping: food plots built with farmers, clover and brassicas that draw deer off crops, and a nuanced take on supplemental feeding in harsh winters. Gear debates aren’t off-limits either—compounds vs crossbows, draw weight rules—and Tracy outlines common-sense changes like lowering legal draw weight to 35 pounds, aligning orange requirements with other regions, and adding a short bow-only window to the moose season without altering the draw. The thread through it all is agency. Clubs write and advance resolutions, governments listen when memberships are strong, and policies shift when hunters show up. If you want better seasons, healthier deer, and a real voice in wildlife policy, this is your roadmap. Subscribe, share with your hunting crew, and drop a review to help more folks find the show.

    Ep.102 Moose At First Light

    Send a text Four bulls grunting in the dark, a calm breath at legal light, and a 40-yard shot off a knee—that’s how Jen’s moose story begins. What followed was a masterclass in adapting on the fly: a last-minute elk tag surprise, shifting herd behavior after bales moved, and the grind of antlerless-only strategy on public land where every headlight means competition. We walk through how planning and patience paid off on the moose—trail cameras around beaver-dam sloughs, an island of brush for cover, and a steady .30-06 anchored perfectly behind the shoulder. Then the season pivots. With a one-week, over-the-counter antlerless elk window drawing crowds, and crop insurance changes pulling feed sources, elk went nocturnal fast. We break down the lost-calf call for drawing cows, when bugles help for locating, and how small mistakes—like a loud door or a rushed top-load—erase chances in seconds. The conversation digs into ethics and policy too. We unpack the viral video of hunters pushing elk from closed to open ground and why legality isn’t the same as fair chase. We weigh how concentrated pressure can hammer local deer during a fragile recovery after hard winters, and how predator realities—coyotes up, wolf bounties across the border—complicate management choices for ranchers and wildlife alike. Through it all, the heartbeat stays close to home: Jen’s aiming for a bow-killed whitetail, Dave’s focused on his daughter’s first deer, and the family is learning together where preparation ends and luck begins. If you’re here for practical hunting strategy, ethical debate, and a freezer-filling moose tale told straight, you’re in the right place.

    Ep.101 From Ranch Hands To Hand Calls: Building Better Coyote Sounds With Trophy Country Calls

    Send a text Cold air, open prairie, and the kind of sound that turns distant specks into charging coyotes—this conversation with Brad Harder dives deep into what makes a predator call truly work. Brad’s the maker behind Trophy Country Calls, a ranch-hand-turned-artisan who went from freezing closed reeds and overused e-caller sounds to crafting tone boards that hold up in brutal weather and fool educated coyotes. If you’ve ever watched a dog light out at the first note of a popular FoxPro track, this is your roadmap back to authenticity. We unpack the nitty-gritty of hand calls—why open reeds offer real versatility for pup distress, jackrabbit, and tight, believable howls, and when closed reeds still shine for new callers. Brad breaks down the difference hardwoods and acrylics make for crisp, carryable sounds, and why softwoods dull the edge. Then the big surprise: horn. Steer horn and even buffalo horn chews transform projection, turning the same tone board into a louder, farther-reaching voice. From 10-gauge hull bodies to the quest for a one-piece horn howler, you’ll hear how material, channel shape, and reed pressure can change outcomes in real coyote country. Fieldcraft anchors the build talk. Brad shares the minus-35 day he pulled five coyotes off a seven-dog rush, how he’s pushing shotgun patterns inside 40 yards, and why a quiet .222 sometimes beats a louder rig. We also touch the realities of selling custom coyote calls across borders—tariffs, shipping friction, and why Texas contest hunters still chase unique sounds when prize pools soar past fifty grand. Whether you’re new to predator hunting or chasing an edge in pressured land, you’ll leave with practical methods, maker-level insight, and a fresh respect for hand-tuned calls. If this helped sharpen your setup, follow and share with a friend who lives for cold stands and close-in shot opportunities. And if you’re enjoying the show, drop a rating or review on Apple or Spotify—your feedback keeps the stories and the sound flowing. Check us out on Facebook Hunts On Outfitting, or myself Ken Marr.

    Two Moose, Two Provinces, One Unforgettable Season

    Send a text Smell the musk before you see the antlers. That’s how Ethan knew the bull was close in a New Brunswick hellhole, wind in his face and alders shaking. What followed was a ten-yard window, a steady hold, and the kind of follow-up discipline moose hunters preach: shoot till they’re down. Then we trade thick finger bogs for long Newfoundland vistas, crossing by boat at sunrise, glassing cows stacked across the valley, and listening to a cow bawl so hard she towed a bull into a perfect 165-yard heart shot framed by brush and ocean. We walk through the full arc of a two-province season: how twelve trail cams and salt sites narrowed the map, why September shifts bulls overnight, and how timed grunts, raking, and silence can tip a standoff. Ethan breaks down his move from a .30-06 to a 6.8 Western with 175-grain loads, the importance of sturdy scope rings and clear glass, and the practice that set his ethical range at 350 yards. The takeaway is simple and serious: confirm zero, know your dope, manage wind, and make the shot clean. You’ll also get the parts that make moose hunting addictive: the gas station crowd around a tailgate, a tractor winch threading deadfall, Argos crawling into country that looks flat until it swallows a bull whole, and guides who light up when hunters bring knives, curiosity, and respect. We compare body size and behavior between New Brunswick and Newfoundland, talk calling cadence that pulls ears from kilometers away, and reflect on why a short, high-stakes season heightens every decision. If you live for big game stories grounded in woodsmanship, actionable calling tips, and honest gear talk—plus a few laughs about blown eardrums and “poor man’s pudding”—you’re in the right place.
