  1. How We Hunt, Call, Cook, And Laugh Through Waterfowl Season

    How We Hunt, Call, Cook, And Laugh Through Waterfowl Season

    Send us a text A specklebelly mount that looks like it fought a dinosaur kicked off a duck camp conversation that turned into a "masterclass" on waterfowl. We swap real hunt stories from cornfields and windy marshes, pulling apart what actually works: scouting over guessing, honest spreads over clutter, and calling that persuades instead of screams. You’ll hear how we adapt when birds fly late, when nearby groups keep flocks in the air, and when an A-frame’s shadow ruins the show. We compare short reed goose calls to old-school flutes, talk about what makes a call break clean, and admit why some barrels force more air and more mistakes. If you’ve ever wondered why teal make good shooters miss or how to set a spread where birds truly want to land, this is your playbook. We get practical on gear without turning it into a catalog. Layouts hide better than A-frames on sunny mornings unless you can tuck into hedgerows. Pumps and beat-up semis keep cycling if you carry a small can of oil after an unexpected dunk. Budget-friendly waders and boots can outperform price tags if you maintain them and accept they’re tools, not trophies. We also zoom out to access and etiquette—farmer relationships matter, leases are rare here, and a little respect goes a long way when fields are small and pressure runs high. Food ties it together. Goose becomes gold with a long saltwater soak, thin slicing, and a marinade of soy, Worcestershire, liquid smoke, garlic, pepper, and a humble steak spice—then a low, steady smoke until it’s addictive jerky. Ducks shine two ways: quick butter sear in bite-sized pieces or scored, skin-on, crisped like a bistro plate. Teal are tiny and tender, wood ducks are oak-sweet, black ducks bring heft. Along the way, we trade stories about dogs, long retrieves, and the one-bird-left pressure that makes legends or punchlines. If waterfowl is your season, you’ll find tactics you can use next weekend and laughs you’ll recognize from your own blind.

    Inside BlueSky Outfitting: Remote Lodges, Waterfowl, And Wolf Management Across Alberta And The Northwest Territories

    Send us a text Think you’ve hunted remote? Try flying 90 minutes past the last road into a world where the only planes you see are coming for you, the ice is six feet thick, and the silence makes your ears ring. We sat down with Kevin from Blue Sky Outfitting to unpack what it takes to guide both baited timber wolf hunts in Alberta and spot-and-stalk Arctic wolf hunts on the tundra, plus the grit behind running a fly-in lodge network that’s hundreds of air kilometers from the nearest town. We trace Kevin’s path from dry-field waterfowl in the Peace River region to a full-time year-round operation pursuing moose, whitetail, black bear, wolves, muskox, and world-class lake trout. He explains how to choose and run a wolf bait the right way—reading sign, building daylight confidence, and avoiding the tiny noises that send wolves nocturnal. We get real on pack behavior, color phases, and why any wolf is a trophy when success demands hours of stillness and a mind that won’t wander. Then we head north of treeline where baiting is illegal and strategy pivots to glassing caribou, following tracks off the ice roads to the diamond mines, and taking quick shots from 50 to 250 yards when opportunity cracks open. This conversation also leans into predator management without the drama. Wolves are built to kill; grizzlies hit calves hard; herds ebb and flow. Balance matters more than myths, and smart hunting is part of that balance. Kevin shares the cold-weather truths most folks learn the hard way—why oversized boots keep you from frostbite, how spare goggles save a day, and which calibers anchor wolves without ruining a mount. Along the way, he paints a picture of the barrenlands—pristine beaches with no footprints, caribou drifting across blue tundra, and wolverines tunneling under carcasses while wolves lounge nearby. If you’re curious about ethical wolf hunting, extreme remoteness, or how to plan a serious northern adventure, this one delivers practical insight and honest stories from the field. Subscribe, share with a hunting buddy, and leave a quick review to help others find the show. Then tell us: would you take the baited sit or chase the ice-road stalk?

    A Buck Tried To Rearrange My Face!

    Send us a text A buck fight that turned hand-finish into a hospital-worthy lesson. Dawn gobble can change everything. One electric morning led us from turkey woods to elk canyons and, eventually, to roaring Yukon moose that snap trees like twigs. Along the way we hit flooded rice fields, public land gate drags, and lots more! It’s a raw, fast-moving tour of real hunting—where timing, terrain, and judgment matter more than highlight reels. We dig into why turkey hunting is the perfect training ground for elk, how duck leases and social clout have reshaped pressure on WMAs, and why late-morning moves can be deadly when everyone else packs up. We talk deer that live in backwater and grow long, curled hooves, the soybean-and-levee mix that builds heavy bodies, and how to read intersecting trails in waist-high grass. Then we zoom out to the strategy that unlocks dream tags: using public harvest records, filtering for Boone and Crockett and Pope and Young data, picking units that quietly produce year after year, and planning around weather, access, and safety. Behind the tags is a blue-collar engine: sinker cypress recovery. We break down the craft—foam-filled drum rigs, quiet pulls to the ramp, live-edge milling, and rot-resistant box blinds that hold up for years. Those slabs pay for Utah elk and Alaska moose without touching the household budget, a practical model for anyone chasing big-country goals. There’s room for hard truths too: different enforcement cultures across states, the risks of close-quarters finishes, and the unpredictable heat of the rut, whether the animal wears antlers or scales. If you love honest fieldcraft, data-driven planning, and stories that smell like mud, gun oil, and fresh-cut cypress, you’ll feel at home here. Tap follow, share this with a buddy who dreams bigger than his budget, and drop a review so more hunters who live for wild places can find us.

    From Prairie Skies To Plate: Hunting, Habits, And Flavor Of Sandhill Cranes

    Send us a text The prairie doesn’t whisper when cranes are around—it rings. That rolling trumpet carries over wheat and barley, and suddenly you’re staring at a bird that looks prehistoric and eats like steak. We sat down with Manitoba guide Tyson to unpack the truth about sandhill cranes: how to find them, how to hunt them, and why they’ve earned the “ribeye of the sky” reputation. We start with what actually moves the needle. Decoys matter, but not as much as location. Cranes return to the exact field—and often the exact spot—they fed the day before, which makes precision scouting the difference between a couple pass shots and a morning of clean finishes. Tyson explains how he sets five dozen full-body crane decoys, disappears into the stubble, and times the flight along predictable fence lines. We also tackle calling rumors. Despite the cranes’ loud, complex vocalizations, calling rarely flips a hunt off the X. Their vision is unforgiving, their habits are stubborn, and pressure can push them out of a region fast. From there, we get into behavior, biology, and ethics. Cranes are wading birds with specific roost needs, anti-social on feed, and feisty enough to claw, stab, and wreck a careless retrieve. We talk safe dispatch, dog goggles, and choosing loads that balance lethality with ethical range. Tyson shares why Manitoba is a sleeper hotspot, how he manages fields to keep patterns intact for clients, and why current bag limits feel high given low colt survival. Expect clear tips on scouting, concealment, shot selection, and pressure management that translate to better hunts and healthier local patterns. Finally, the plate. Trim the silver skin, brush with sesame oil, hit with Montreal steak spice, and grill hot to medium rare—simple moves that turn first-time tasters into believers. We trade notes on goose jerky, sausage, and pastrami too, plus storage tricks that keep meat perfect for seasons. If you’re crane-curious, refining your spread, or planning a Manitoba trip, this conversation will sharpen your strategy and your recipes.

  5. Ian: The Valley Giant, The story Of A 180 Inch Plus Buck

    Ian: The Valley Giant, The story Of A 180 Inch Plus Buck

    Send us a text A valley can make or break a buck’s future. Ours is long, narrow, and guarded by marsh and pasture—difficult to access, perfect for letting deer get old. That’s where Logan’s story unfolds: years of shared neighbor intel, a “let it grow” culture, and a chessboard of food plots, pinch points, and big old trees that set the stage for one of the largest  New Brunswick giants we’ve ever laid eyes on. We walk through the real work behind a “once-in-a-lifetime” tag. Logan breaks down how he shifted from casual sits to intentional strategy—mapping doe movement, timing hunts around cold fronts, and treating trail cameras as tools instead of truth. You’ll hear about the summer sightings across tall marsh grass, late-January shed clues a kilometer apart, and the frustration of slow seasons that still hide daylight activity just out of frame. When the weather flipped and a rare northeast wind finally aligned, small choices mattered most: an early walk-in to trim lanes, a missing saw, and the discipline to move slow on crunchy frost. Then everything happened fast. Antlers raked cedars. A tiny window opened through two branches. The shot broke. Twenty yards later, the woods went still. We cover the recovery, the friends sprinting in from work, and the green score that puts this mainframe twelve near the 190 mark gross and around 180 net typical. More important than numbers are the takeaways: how to hunt a pressured corridor, why access outranks almost everything, and how consistent doe habitat pays off when the rut locks down. If you care about whitetail strategy—access, wind, fronts, cameras, food plots, and community management—this story will hit home and sharpen your plan for the next cold morning. Subscribe, share this with your hunting crew, and leave a quick rating or review to help more folks find the show. What’s your valley move when the wind finally turns?

    From Pheasant Winds To Bear Wins: A Guide’s Week In New Brunswick

    Send us a text A stormy marsh, a wired bird dog, and a mystery moose set the tone for a guiding week that never slowed down. We chased pheasants through sideways wind, switched gears to fast teal that humbled everyone, and settled into deer blinds where does grazed within bow range while the mature bucks played the long game. Between hunts we warmed up under an old covered bridge, swapped stories, and leaned on the small-town magic where friends appear just when you need a spare set of hands. The moments that made it: a German shorthaired pointer muscling through thorns like it’s his job; teal ripping the horizon and teaching tough lessons about lead, target focus, and low light; and a first-bear story that will live forever. Phoenix, twelve years old, shouldered a 6.5, waited on a clean lane, and made a perfect shot. We tracked a short distance and found him twenty yards away. Clean setup, calm trigger, high-fives all around. Later, the beagles sang through the timber as snowshoe hare looped back on quiet feet, turning a three-pound rabbit into a heart-thumping event. Deer hunters will nod at the familiar twist: we held out for target bucks, stacked sightings of smaller racks and six-pack groups of does, then watched trail cams light up the evening our guests headed home. That’s why we scout hard, place blinds to manage wind and scent, and let food plots do their work. We also talk teal tactics, pheasant realities in New Brunswick’s young season, and why hounds—from coon dogs to beagles—can turn a slow day into a great night. Want more of this energy? We’re building toward expanded hunts—spring bear, whitetails, ducks, pheasants, and rabbit days—and listeners will get first dibs and a break on price. Hit play, ride along for the stories and tactics, then subscribe, share with your hunting crew, and leave a review to help us grow. What hunt should we guide for you next?

  7. How A 19-Year-Old Archer Outsmarted A Legendary Buck

    How A 19-Year-Old Archer Outsmarted A Legendary Buck

    Send us a text A wide-racked “city buck” doesn’t get that way by making many mistakes—especially on pressured public land bordered by inaccessible sanctuaries. We sit down with 19-year-old Nova Scotia bowhunter Drew and trace a two-season pursuit that swings from Halloween heartbreak to velvet summer hope, a province-wide woods shutdown, and a string of ten-minute misses that would rattle any hunter’s nerves. What finally turned the tide? Small, deliberate choices: a new entry route, a touch of synthetic buck scent on the boots, and total commitment to a single 17-yard shooting lane. You’ll hear how the buck first appeared as an eight-pointer with a wide frame, vanished four kilometers during the rut, then re-emerged in velvet with heavy growth and a three-day cycle. Drew breaks down how he stayed legal within HRM’s 200-meter rules, used public land smartly, and navigated constant human traffic—from dog walkers to other bowhunters who had the same deer in daylight. When the moment came, a faint trail-cam glow froze the buck, he backed into a ten-inch window, and Drew threaded an arrow without a pass-through, then trusted a slow, careful blood trail that ended with antlers rising from the alders. We also dig into why Nova Scotia and New Brunswick can quietly produce world-class whitetails: pockets of low pressure, rugged country, and genetics that explode when a deer survives. Drew shares the exact setup—Hoyt Torrex, HHA single-pin, 350-grain arrows, Rage Hypodermic—and what it taught him about mechanical broadheads, shot discipline, and patience when you may only get one chance. If you hunt urban edges, juggle limited access, or debate passing good bucks for a special one, this story gives you a blueprint and a push to keep going. Enjoy the hunt? Follow, share with a friend who lives for bow season, and leave a quick review to help more whitetail nuts find the show. Check us out on Facebook Hunts On Outfitting, or myself Ken Marr.

    From Ship-Trap Island To Real-Life Close Calls: Hunting Tales That Chill

    Send us a text The woods have a way of staring back. We open with a thank-you to our behind-the-scenes pro, Brodie, then head straight into a late-Halloween run of stories that test nerves and judgment—starting with a fresh reading of The Most Dangerous Game and rolling into true hunts that veer into nightmare territory. Connell’s classic isn’t just literature; it’s a field lesson in staying rational when adrenaline surges. We break down how a hunter under pressure slows time: false trails, improvised traps, terrain you use instead of fight. That thinking echoes into the modern stories—a Newfoundland moose that appears stone dead until it doesn’t, a Michigan dusk sprint chased by a scream you can’t classify, and a Kentucky porch call that pulls eyeshine to fifteen feet with no sound until retreat. Each account lands with practical takeaways: confirm before approach, keep your rifle in hand, plan your exit in daylight, and respect that silence can be a sign, not a comfort. We close riverside, where fog and footsteps edge into the paranormal. Believe in ghosts or not, the safety rules hold: control your light, move toward known exits, keep someone updated, and never ignore that gut drop when a pattern in the woods turns wrong. This episode blends campfire chills with hard-won field craft, built for anyone who’s dressed a moose, climbed into a tree stand, or simply felt the hair lift on their neck at the treeline. If these stories stuck to your ribs, hit follow, share with your hunting crew, and drop your own backcountry scare in a review—what lesson did it leave you with?
