    UPO Live On Air Ep. 81- Opening Weekend Reality Check!

    Opening weekend has officially come and gone, and after months of scouting, hanging stands, checking cameras, shooting bows, buying gear, watching the weather and convincing ourselves that THIS was finally going to be the year everything came together… reality has officially entered the chat. Because opening weekend has a funny way of reminding you that deer don’t care about your plans, ducks apparently didn’t get the memo about where they were supposed to be, the weather forecast is more of a suggestion, and something you swore you packed is probably still sitting on the kitchen counter. But that’s hunting. Tonight we’re doing an opening weekend reality check. We’re talking about what went right, what went wrong, what we learned, and all those little things you completely forgot about during the off-season until you were standing in the woods wishing you’d remembered them. So whether you punched a tag, missed an opportunity, got completely skunked, or just enjoyed finally being back out there, grab a drink, settle in, and let’s talk about opening weekend.

    Ep. 349- Hunt Smarter With Racklog

    There’s no shortage of hunting apps out there today. We’ve got mapping apps, weather apps, trail camera apps, and about a dozen different ways to drop a pin on a map. But what happens when you start bringing all of that information together and actually use it to help make better hunting decisions? This week, I sat down with Matthew Olson, the creator of RackLog, a whitetail-focused hunting app built around helping hunters better understand the information they’re already collecting in the woods. Matthew and I talk about where the idea for RackLog came from, what separates it from some of the bigger hunting apps already on the market, and some of the tools they’ve built into it—including Buck Brain, RackScan, trail camera management, target buck tracking, and the ability to factor things like habitat, wind, thermals, weather, and your own hunting history into the decision-making process. We also get into Matthew’s story of building an app from the ground up while serving Active Duty in the Army, some of the lessons he’s learned since launching RackLog, and where he hopes to take the platform in the future. And if you want to check RackLog out for yourself, Matthew hooked up the Under Pressure Outdoors community with a couple of promo codes. Use UPO30 for a monthly subscription or UPO30YEAR for a yearly subscription, and you’ll get one month of RackLog Premium access free. So whether you’re managing a piece of private ground, grinding it out on public land, or you’re just looking for a better way to organize all the information you collect throughout deer season, this is a good one.

    UPO Live On Air Ep. 80- You Might Be A Southern Hunter If...

    You might be a Southern hunter if your truck has more hunting gear than groceries, you’ve ever judged the weather by whether the mosquitoes are flying, or somebody in your hunting camp has a piece of equipment held together with duct tape, baling wire, and pure determination. This week on Under Pressure Outdoors, we’re keeping things light and having a little fun with the habits, traditions, questionable decisions, and unwritten rules that make hunting in the South what it is. From deer camps and dog boxes to gas-station breakfasts, opening-day rituals, hand-me-down hunting gear, and those stories that somehow get better every single time they’re told, we’re talking about the things Southern hunters immediately recognize—even if we don’t always want to admit they apply to us. So grab a cold drink, pull up a camp chair, and see how many times you catch yourself saying, “Yep… I’ve done that.” You might be a Southern hunter if… Deep Roots Rifles USE CODE UPO10 FOR 10% OFF Under Pressure Outdoors underpressureoutdoors Official: TikTok, Instagram, Facebook | Linktree Under Pressure Outdoors Podcast | By Hunters For Hunters | Patreon

    Ep. 348- Florida Woods & Old Friends with Cameron Gordon

    This week on Under Pressure Outdoors, we’re catching up with longtime friend of the show Cameron Gordon. We originally met Cameron through the podcast, and over the years he’s joined us for small-game hunts, events, and plenty of good times in the outdoors. He’s a Florida native, a small-game-hunting fool, and one of those guys who simply loves spending time in the woods. It had been a while since we’d had the chance to sit down together, so this episode is less of a formal interview and more of two friends catching up. We swap hunting stories, talk about small game, Florida’s outdoors, and plenty of other things that come up when a couple of outdoorsmen get together. Sometimes the best conversations don’t need an agenda. Pull up a chair and join us for a laid-back conversation with our good friend Cameron Gordon.

    UPO Live On AIr Ep.79- The Death Of The Hunting Camp

    There was a time when hunting season didn’t just mean opening morning. It meant hunting camp. It meant an old camper, a little cabin, or maybe just a wall tent somewhere back in the woods. It meant a pot of coffee that had been sitting on the stove way too long, somebody telling the same story you’d already heard a hundred times, wet boots drying by the fire, and a group of people sitting around at the end of the day arguing about where the deer went. And somewhere along the way, it feels like we’ve started losing that. Hunting has changed. We’ve got better gear, better information, better technology, and probably more ways than ever to become successful in the woods. But as hunting has become more efficient, more individual, and more focused on the outcome, I wonder if we’ve sacrificed some of the things that made hunting special in the first place. Because hunting camp was never really about the camp. It was where kids learned from their dads and granddads. Where friendships were built. Where stories became traditions, and traditions got handed down to the next generation. Half the memories we carry from hunting season didn’t happen in a tree stand at all—they happened back at camp. So tonight, we’re talking about the death of the hunting camp—why it seems to be disappearing, what we might be losing along with it, and whether there’s still time for our generation to keep that tradition alive.

    Ep. 347- Old Camo, New Obsession: Camoretro

    There was a time when hunting camo had character. The patterns were bold, the colors were unmistakable, and seeing an old jacket hanging in the back of a closet could instantly take you back to deer camp. This week, I’m joined by Logan from Camo Retro to talk about bringing that old-school hunting style back to life. We dive into the history and nostalgia behind classic camouflage patterns, how hunting apparel has changed over the years, and what inspired Camo Retro to build a brand around preserving a piece of hunting culture that a lot of us grew up with. We also get into the business side of bringing vintage-inspired camo back to a modern audience, why these old patterns still resonate with hunters today, and how something as simple as camouflage can connect generations of outdoorsmen. If you grew up hunting in old-school camo—or inherited some of it from your dad or granddad—this episode is going to bring back some memories. Grab a seat at camp and join us for a conversation about camouflage, nostalgia, hunting culture, and keeping the old-school spirit alive.

    UPO Live On Air Ep. 78- The TIme We Almost Put Hippos In Louisiana

    There are a lot of strange chapters in American history, but this one might be near the top of the list. At one point in the early 1900s, there was a legitimate proposal to import hippopotamuses from Africa, turn them loose in the swamps and bayous of Louisiana, and eventually put hippo meat on American dinner tables. And somehow, that’s not even the strangest part of the story. The idea was supposed to solve multiple problems at once: provide a new source of meat for a growing country, make use of otherwise unproductive wetlands, and even help deal with an invasive aquatic plant that was choking waterways across the South. It sounds like something somebody made up after a few drinks, but the proposal made it all the way to the United States Congress and had some surprisingly serious people behind it. So this week, we’re digging into the bizarre true story of how America almost filled the Louisiana bayous with hippos—and how close “lake cow bacon” came to becoming an American food.

    Ep. 346- Follow The Science? Or Follow The Money? with Andy Braddock

    Florida’s lakes and waterways are some of the most valuable natural resources we have, but the way we’re managing them deserves a much closer look. This week, I sat down with Andy Braddock to talk about submersed aquatic vegetation management in Florida—and once you start digging into how this system works, some pretty uncomfortable questions start coming up. We’re spraying aquatic vegetation in the name of managing and protecting our waterways, but what happens after those plants die? That vegetation doesn’t simply disappear. It decomposes, nutrients are released back into the water, clarity can suffer, and native vegetation that depends on sunlight suddenly has an even tougher environment to grow in. Then there’s the money. Who is paying for the research used to justify these management practices? Who benefits from the conclusions? Who sells the chemicals being applied year after year? And how much of the science guiding these decisions is truly independent? Those are serious questions, and asking them doesn’t mean we’ve already decided what the answers are. Andy and I dig into the nutrient loads associated with vegetation treatment and decomposition, declining water clarity, the struggle to reestablish native submerged vegetation, and whether our current approach is actually addressing the underlying problems—or helping create a cycle that requires even more intervention. Florida spends a lot of money managing these waterways. If the result is healthier lakes, healthier fisheries, and thriving native vegetation, great. But if the water keeps getting cloudier, native vegetation keeps struggling, and we keep reaching for another round of chemicals, at some point we have to ask a pretty simple question: Are we actually fixing the problem—or are we paying to perpetuate it?
