    Ep. 292 "The Right to Hunt & Fish" with Sam Thrash

    We have a solo episode of the Fall Obsession Podcast this week, and Sam dives into some of the biggest conservation issues facing hunters today; from Texas mountain lion management to Colorado’s Amendment 83 and the importance of unity within the hunting community. Sam revisits the ongoing conversation surrounding Texas mountain lions and the debate over mandatory harvest reporting. After conversations with multiple guests, Sam shares his perspective on the importance of science-based wildlife management, the need for transparency and accountability within Texas Parks and Wildlife, and why hunters must have a seat at the table when decisions affecting wildlife are being made. Next, Sam breaks down Colorado’s Amendment 83, which would establish a constitutional right to hunt and fish in the state. With misinformation and misconceptions circulating, he discusses what the amendment would and wouldn’t do, why these protections matter for future generations, and why hunters and conservationists need to be willing to speak up, educate others, and get involved in the process. Finally, Sam wraps things up with a conversation about something that hits closer to home for all of us in the outdoor industry: how hunters treat one another. From jealousy and negativity on social media to the importance of supporting fellow hunters and creators, Sam challenges the hunting community to put personal differences aside and focus on what matters most. Conservation doesn’t happen by sitting on the sidelines. It takes education, accountability, involvement, and a willingness to work toward solutions. Whether you’re a hunter, an angler, an outdoor creator, or simply someone who cares about wildlife and our outdoor traditions, this episode is a reminder that our voices matter—and that we're stronger when we work together.

    Ep. 291 "Bear Country Chaos" with Connor Rohrbaugh & John Kesler

    Two Colorado natives, five bears on a hillside, and a bear hunt that turned into an absolute adventure. In this episode of Fall Obsession Podcast, Sam is joined by Fall Obsession's Western Regional Coordinator, John Kesler, and Colorado hunter Connor Rohrbaugh to recap their unforgettable 2026 Colorado bear hunt. What started as a last-minute plan with minimal preparation quickly turned into a wild experience filled with steep shale slopes, close encounters, split-second decisions, and a whole lot of adrenaline. When Connor makes a shot on a bear and John heads up the mountain after another, things get a little complicated when they realize they may have both shot the same bear! From figuring out whose bear it was to heading back the next morning for another round, these two share the full story of a hunt neither will soon forget. Along the way, we talk about Connor's journey from whitetail hunting in the East to chasing elk and other big game in the mountains, the learning curve of western hunting, the value of trial and error, and why some of the best hunting memories are the ones shared with good friends. It's a conversation about adventure, friendship, learning as you go, and making the most of every opportunity in the outdoors. Tune in for the full story!

    Ep. 290 "Beyond the Likes & Follows" with Brittany Jill

    Social media has completely changed the outdoor industry. Today, you don’t need a television show, a magazine column, or a massive advertising budget to build an audience—you can have a phone, a story, and the ability to connect with people. In this episode, Sam sits down with Brittany Jill from Walk2West Marketing to take a deeper look at the world of social media marketing in the outdoor industry. From brands and influencers to creators and everyday outdoorsmen and women, Brittany breaks down what actually works—and what doesn’t—in today’s crowded social media landscape. We talk about the difference between followers and real influence, why engagement and community can matter more than a follower count, and how authenticity fits into an industry where almost everyone is trying to sell something. We also dive into the algorithms, short-form video, sponsored content, creator burnout, the pressure to constantly produce, and whether outdoor content is becoming too polished and manufactured. Is the goal to create content for people—or for the algorithm? And in a world obsessed with likes and followers, what does it really take to build something that lasts? Join us for a candid conversation about social media, marketing, authenticity, and the future of the outdoor industry.

    Ep. 289 "The Mature Buck Playbook" with Spook Spann

    Join us as we sit down with longtime whitetail hunter and outdoor personality Spook Spann for a deep dive into the pursuit of mature bucks! With decades of experience and a long history of chasing some truly incredible whitetails, Spook shares the lessons, strategies, and experiences that have shaped the way he hunts today. The conversation gets into how Spook approaches unfamiliar ground, locates mature bucks, studies individual deer, and uses trail cameras for more than just collecting pictures. He breaks down what makes a buck truly “killable,” knowing when to stay patient versus getting aggressive, and why access into and out of a stand can be just as important as where you hang it. Spook also shares the mistakes he still sees experienced hunters make, the bucks that have taught him some of his biggest lessons, and much more! After all the years, miles, and giant whitetails, we also unpack what still drives Spook Spann to chase whitetails every fall? This one is packed with mature-buck strategies, hard-earned experience, and plenty of whitetail hunting talk!

    Ep. 288 "Inside the Shop at Bear River" with Justin Cannaday

    This week we’re taking the show on the road and stepping inside the incredible new Bear River Archery facility in Van Alstyne, Texas for a conversation with owner and operator Justin Cannaday. A lot has changed since our last conversation with Justin. What started just three years ago in a 400-square-foot starter shop has grown into a massive archery destination! Justin walks us through the vision behind what they have created, the overwhelming response to the grand opening, and what it’s like watching something you have built from the ground up continue to grow. We also get into the stuff that really matters to hunters — Justin’s upcoming Colorado elk hunt, the difference between elk camp and whitetail camp, why elk hunting becomes such a team effort, mountain horses, bow setups, shot placement, and the preparation that goes into chasing an elk with a bow. The conversation eventually turns toward whitetails, hunting with family, the stories behind the taxidermy filling the walls of Bear River, balancing work and hunting, and the reality of turning something you love into your livelihood. And perhaps most importantly, Justin talks about where Bear River goes from here — and why he's willing to put the future of the business in God's hands rather than trying to control every step of the journey. This one is a true shop talk — bows, hunting, business, family, faith, elk, whitetails, and a whole lot of catching up between friends. Welcome back Bear River Archery!

    Ep. 287 "An Unbridled Voice for Texas" with Jeremy Harrison

    What happens when mountain lions become a much bigger conversation about the future of hunting in Texas? In this episode of Fall Obsession Podcast, Sam sits down with Jeremy Harrison, founder of the West Texas Big Bobcat Contest and a longtime advocate for predator hunting and predator control in Texas. Jeremy shares the story behind his battle surrounding predator hunting contests, his experiences with animal-rights activists, and the events that led him to take a much closer look at the people, organizations, and relationships influencing wildlife policy in Texas. The conversation dives deep into the ongoing debate surrounding mountain lions, harvest reporting, wildlife management, and the fear among some hunters that seemingly small regulatory changes could eventually lead to seasons, tags, bag limits, and broader restrictions. But this episode goes beyond just mountain lions. Jeremy lays out his concerns about influence within Texas Parks and Wildlife, connections between deep pockets and the agency, and what he believes Texas hunters need to understand before the landscape of hunting begins to change. Are these legitimate warning signs—or is the fear of a “slippery slope” being overstated? Where does science-based wildlife management end and political or ideological influence begin? And perhaps most importantly: Who controls the future of hunting in Texas? This is a conversation about predators, politics, conservation, hunting rights, and the responsibility of hunters to pay attention before they’re forced to react.  Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/) - use code "fallobsession15" to save with HootBear River Archery (https://www.bearriverarchery.com/) - use code "fallobsession" when shopping online with Bear RiverTactacam Reveal Cameras (https://www.tactacam.com/)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/) Learn more about your ad choices.

    Ep. 286 "Building a Bigger Table" with Sam Thrash

    The outdoor industry is growing faster than ever. More creators, influencers, podcasts, brands, and voices are entering the space every day. And while that growth is exciting, it also raises an important question: What kind of industry are we building? In this solo episode of Fall Obsession Podcast, Sam takes a look at the two very different sides of the outdoor industry. On one side are the people who believe in community—those who celebrate others, share opportunities, support smaller creators, build relationships, and genuinely want to see the people around them succeed. On the other are those who view everything through a transactional lens, constantly asking, “What can you do for me?” This isn't about calling out specific people or brands. It's about culture, character, and the kind of outdoor community we want to create. Follower counts, sponsorships, and reach don't tell the whole story. True influence isn't always measured in numbers—sometimes it's measured by the people you encourage, the opportunities you create, and the lives you impact. The outdoors has always been bigger than one person. It's about sharing experiences, passing down traditions, helping one another, and bringing people together. Because there should always be room for another person at the table—and maybe it's time we start making the table bigger.

    Ep. 285 "Establishing the Baseline" with Casey Chamberlin

    On this episode of Fall Obsession Podcast, Sam sits down with Casey Chamberlin from Baseline Maps, one of the rapidly growing mapping apps making waves in the fishing and hunting community. Casey shares the story behind Baseline Maps, how the app has grown, and what makes the community surrounding it so unique. They dive into the vision behind the platform, the constant evolution of the app, and Casey’s hands-on approach to listening to hunters, responding to feedback, and building Baseline around the people who actually use it in the field. They also talk about the role technology is playing in modern hunting, how Baseline is helping fishermen and hunters scout and understand the ground they hunt and fish, and why building a strong community is just as important as building a great product. From the early days of Baseline to where the app is headed next, Casey gives us an inside look at what it takes to grow an outdoor technology company while staying connected to the hunters who helped build it. The app is growing. The community is growing. And Baseline Maps is just getting started!
