Dave Owens Vol. III

Turkey season is close enough you can feel it — and for Dave Owens, that means one thing: Nashville is coming. In this episode, I’m joined (again) by Dave Owens of The Pinhoti Project as we get honest about the chaos that hits when the NWTF Convention countdown starts. From camera gremlins and editing panic mode to the real mental pressure of stepping onto the biggest stage in turkey calling, Dave breaks down what most people never see: the work, the nerves, and the tiny details that can make—or break—a run. We also dive deep into the art and science of competition calling, including: Why Dave doesn’t “over-practice” (and how bad habits sneak in) Sorting through piles of calls to find “the one” (and why even champions do it) Scenario format in Nashville: what it is, why it matters, and what judges are really listening for The hardest calls to nail under pressure — and why the clock can wreck your head Who’s knocking on the door in 2026 (and why the talent pool is deeper than ever) Then the conversation turns to what this whole thing is really about: people. We talk about the KT Team, purpose in the outdoors, and how turkey hunting can be genuinely life-giving. We also pause to acknowledge losses in the turkey world — including Billy Buice — and why it adds urgency to capturing the stories and preserving the culture. A fun, honest, and meaningful pre-season check-in with one of the best to ever do it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Alex Debord

Paul Campbell sits down with Alex DeBord of Talk About It Outdoors for a deep dive into the world of turkey calling, competition culture, and the brotherhood that keeps the whole thing alive. Alex breaks down the unwritten rules of the calling world—why you don’t touch another man’s call bag, how “turkey-killing calls” differ from “race car” competition setups, and why presentation (cadence, pauses, and painting the picture) often matters more than raw sound. They talk about the mental game too: nerves on stage, learning to run the call instead of letting the call run you, and what it really takes to find “your yelp.” The conversation turns personal in the best way—Alex shares the story of what truly hooked him on turkey hunting, watching his son step into the calling world, and how mentors and friendships inside the turkey community can become family. From Grand Nationals qualifying to preseason practice routines, to honoring the legends that built the foundation of modern calling, this one is a masterclass in why turkey hunting and turkey calling mean so much to the people in it. Alex also shares what’s ahead for Talk About It Outdoors, the “The Caller” series covering the NWTF calling circuit, and the spirit behind their newly announced call team.

Moving to Iowa with Justin Synan

Moving states is one thing. Moving your family, your career, and your entire hunting identity is something else entirely. In this episode, we sit down with Justin Synan to talk through the real story behind his move from Virginia to Kentucky and ultimately to Iowa. We dig into what actually drives those decisions: family, faith, frustration, opportunity, and the reality of chasing big whitetails without losing yourself along the way. We talk about the culture shock of new states, the realities of hunting pressure and baiting laws, why you can’t just “trip into” a big deer, and how expectations can quietly ruin the experience if you’re not careful. Justin opens up about what worked, what didn’t, and how perspective changes when kids, marriage, and long-term goals start weighing more than inches of antler. It’s a candid conversation about risk, patience, and figuring out what “success” actually looks like, both in the woods and at home. If you’ve ever daydreamed about moving to a whitetail mecca, felt stuck where you’re at, or wondered whether the grind is worth it, this episode is a great example of what it could look like to make the move.

Episode 60: Southern Rut 2.0

We revisit one of our most steamed/viewed episodes ever and dive back into hunting the rut in south. Due to restocking efforts where deer were brought into Alabama and other states the timing of the rut can be very different based on the location. This makes hunting the rut in the south challenging to say the least. Let's talk about it! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Boykins, Wirehairs & Bird Dogs That Fit Your Life with Chris Midgette

This week on the Upduck Podcast, it’s a two-man show (no Matt) and we’re joined by Chris “The Hunting Traveler” Midgette for a wide-ranging conversation that hits hunting, travel, and gun dogs from every angle. Chris shares how years of living in airports and hotels shaped his handle, how moving from Virginia to Michigan opened up new hunting opportunities, and why sometimes the best reset is getting quiet and letting your mind wander. Then we get into what you really came for: dogs. Chris breaks down the Boykin Spaniel—where the breed came from, what they’re great at, common misconceptions (they’re not “mini Labs”), and why responsible breeding and health testing matter. We also talk his jump into the ultra-niche world of the Wirehaired Vizsla, bringing a started pup from Canada, and the real transition from an aggressive flushing dog to a pointing dog—plus a reminder every dog owner needs: train the dog in front of you, not the one you see on social media.
