    Why Most Coyote Stands Fail, Calls, Systems and Speed with Geoff Nemnich

    In this episode of the Tricer Podcast, Drew Miles and Mike Herne sit down with Geoff Nemnich of Lucky Duck to break down why so many coyote stands fail—and how to dramatically increase your odds of success. Geoff dives deep into stand selection, wind management, sound strategy, and efficient systems, explaining why calling is often the least important part of killing coyotes. From beginner mistakes to advanced sound theory, this episode is packed with practical predator-hunting knowledge you can apply immediately. Topics Covered Geoff Nemnich’s background and path into predator hunting Why predator hunting builds better overall hunters Hand calls vs electronic calls: advantages and limitations Why most coyote stands fail before the call starts Macro vs micro location selection Wind direction, crosswind setups, and the “pie” concept Stand access, parking strategy, and stealth approaches Elevation mistakes and forced-visibility setups Sound categories: prey distress, howls, and pup distress/fights Why pup distress works year-round Sound aggression levels and when to increase intensity Why sound choice matters less than setup and locationLINKS:  War on Dogs and Hogs Giveaway:  https://tricer.com/pages/war-on-dogs-hogs Lucky Duck Decoys: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luckyduckdecoys Website: https://www.luckyduck.com The Last Stand:  Website: https://www.tlshunt.com TRICER USA Website – https://tricerusa.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tricerusa/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/tricerusa/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@tricer6985 #CoyoteHunting #PredatorHunting #CoyoteCalling #PredatorControl #LuckyDuck #JeffNemnich #HuntingPodcast #WesternHunting #Coyotes #PredatorCalls #HuntingStrategy #Tricer

    Doing It Live: Content, Chaos, and the Future of Hunting Media – James Visser

    Drew Miles links up with his buddy James Visser of Bow Disciples for a loose, “we’ll do it live” hangout-style episode that bounces between hunting, content creation, and what it takes to build a modern outdoor brand. They talk about the grind of posting across every platform, why short-form clips are now a must, and how both of their teams are leveling up heading into 2026—including Tricer’s push to expand into a full-blown media company with more editing and production horsepower. The conversation gets into real-world hunting logistics too: balancing DIY tags with the reality of harder-to-draw western hunts, the pros/cons of paid tags for scheduling, and why neither of them feels the need to hide what works for them. They swap stories from Africa, Hawaii, whitetail country, and javelina hunts, plus dive into gear and sponsor highlights (including Bow Disciples’ broadhead setup). They also hit on the importance of growing the hunting community to protect the future of the sport—and finish with rapid-fire “funniest moment” field stories that are pure chaos in the best way.

    E-Bikes in the Backcountry: The Future of Western Hunting – Dave Andre

    In this episode of the Tricer Podcast, Drew Miles is joined by BAKCOU Bikes co-founder Dave Andre to talk about how hunting e-bikes are changing the way we access the mountains. Dave walks through the origin of BAKCOU, how he and his brother-in-law went from an excavating business and neurophysiology to building purpose-built e-bikes for Western hunters, and what truly sets their bikes apart from cheap Amazon options. They dig into real hunt stories where e-bikes and scooters made the difference on elk, aoudad, whitetails, and mule deer, plus how overbuilt frames, powerful mid-drive motors, and smart geometry help hunters go farther, quieter, and with more energy for the pack out. The episode wraps with a look at evolving e-bike regulations, ethical trail use, and the “Bigger Than the Hunt” giveaway that unites brands to support kids in need.

    Bridger Watch: From Idea to Innovation – Cody Rich

    Drew Miles sits down with close friend and entrepreneur Cody Rich for an inside look at Bridger’s first hunting-specific smartwatch, the “Reckon,” and the story behind how it was built. They talk about Cody’s rough upbringing, the mentors who shaped him, and how those experiences forged his drive to create instead of becoming a statistic. The conversation dives into entrepreneurship—spotting opportunity like a hunter, failing forward, and being motivated more by freedom, impact, and innovation than by money. Cody explains how frustration with relying on his phone and current smartwatches in the field sparked the idea for a watch designed specifically for hunters, leading to a purpose-built device with long battery life, intuitive hotkeys, redshift night mode, offline maps, and quick-access dope cards. He also shares his long-term vision of building a legacy tech brand for hunters, firefighters, and warfighters—not just another gear company. They wrap by encouraging listeners to join the limited release email list at BridgerWatch.com and teasing a Bridger watch giveaway in an upcoming Tricer hunt giveaway.

Ivy shares her incredible journey growing up among strong, subsistence-driven women and how her early life on Alaska’s waters eventually led her into guiding big-game hunts across the state’s unforgiving interior. Drew and Ivy dive into her experiences guiding brown bear, moose, and sheep hunters, the lessons learned from living completely off-grid, and her recent adventures traveling and hunting in Africa.

    Building Gear for Shooters, by Shooters – The Shield Arms Story

    In this episode of the Tricer Podcast, host Drew Miles talks with Brandon and Seth from Shield Arms, a Montana-based company redefining firearm innovation. What began in 2017 inside a barn has grown into a powerhouse brand known for designing products shooters and hunters actually want—no focus groups, just firsthand experience driving design. Brandon and Seth share the story behind Shield Arms’ rise, from the game-changing S15 magazine—which fits 15 rounds in a Glock 43X or 48 without altering the footprint—to their expansion into folding AR-15 lowers and an all-new modular pistol system that blends the best of Glock and SIG platforms. The conversation dives into their in-house engineering process, open-source approach to parts, and their commitment to collaborating with other top brands in the industry.
