    Wisconsin Sportsman - Understanding Bucks from Above with Wyatt Barber

    On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce is joined by Wyatt Barber to dive into insights gained in the whitetail woods through flying thermal drones! Wyatt is a Colorado-native who moved to Wisconsin to pursue a career as a professional fighter, before starting his own business as a drone pilot doing both crop spraying and deer recovery. In this conversation the guys dive into where big bucks hide in vast swaths of swamp and CRP, how little some bucks really move, the role of water and habitat diversity in a buck's decision to bed somewhere, where a buck's primary bed probably is on your farm, how un-huntable some bucks really are, and how to take this knowledge to inform your sits this fall. All that and lots more in this week's episode! Huge thanks to Wyatt for coming on the show!

    Southeastern Bowhunter - What Truly Matters In Life w/ Brian Anderson

    In this episode, we sit down with Brian Anderson from G5 Outdoors and Prime Archery for a conversation that goes far beyond bows and big bucks. Brian shares his journey from his early beginnings—how he first got into archery and the outdoors—to the path that eventually led him to become a key part of G5 and Prime. It’s a candid look at the persistence, passion, and values that shaped his career in the hunting industry. But this episode doesn’t stop at gear or success stories. We dig into what truly matters: faith, family, purpose, and keeping your priorities straight in a world that often measures success by inches of antler. Brian offers a refreshing perspective on hunting as more than a pursuit of trophies—it’s about the experiences, the relationships, and the deeper meaning behind why we step into the woods in the first place. Whether you’re a hardcore bowhunter or just someone who appreciates real, grounded conversations, this episode will leave you thinking about what really counts—both in the field and in life.   Podcast brought to you by: Sportsmen’s empire  LWCG https://www.lonewolfcustomgear.com Asio : SEBH for 15% off https://asiogear.com/ Bowtique: SEBHP https://thebowtiquellc.com/ G5 Outdoors https://www.g5outdoors.com/ Prime Archery https://www.g5prime.com/ Dialed Archery https://dialedarchery.com/ Moultrie https://www.moultrie.com/ BHL https://bowhuntingleague.com Whitetail Champion Whitetail Champion | Join the Bowhunting Challenge Today Scrape doctor SEBH15 for 15% https://scrapedoctor.com/ Victory Archery https://www.victoryarchery.com/ Catalyst archery https://catalystarchery.com SEBH10 Unbound Archery SEBH10 for 10% off https://www.unboundarchery.com Check out Troll Co.

    N.F.C - Finding Public Land Bucks... On A Jet Ski

    The river-bottom deer hunting playbook is changing, and Lucas Psycho is already adjusting. From dry-year deer shifts and EHD pressure to why trail cameras might actually be making hunters weaker, this conversation gets into the kind of on-the-ground tactics that separate guys who find bucks from guys who just chase screenshots. Dan Johnson and Lucas catch up on family, coaching varsity basketball, and a summer full of travel before getting into the real stuff: how North Dakota whitetails are using river bottoms differently, why some deer are disappearing from open field edges and pushing deep into thick willow country, and how water levels, farming changes, and hunter pressure are reshaping where mature bucks live. Lucas also breaks down paddlefish season on the Missouri and Yellowstone, including how snagging works, why he releases most of what he catches, and the biggest fish he's ever seen come out of those waters. You'll discover: Why Lucas thinks trail cameras are overused, and why he'd gladly hunt without themHow river levels can move mature bucks half a mile or moreWhat EHD looks like when it really rolls through a deer herdWhy some of the biggest bucks are now bedding in ugly, overlooked spots that most hunters ignoreHow he decides whether to stay, shift, or bail when another hunter shows up first Lucas also shares how he times vacation days around the opener, rifle season, and the rut, plus the new side project that has everybody talking: a 1991 Kawasaki jet ski he plans to turn into the ultimate buck hauler. If you've ever wanted a real conversation about hunting pressure, weird public-land setups, river-bottom deer, and finding bucks when the obvious spots go cold, this one delivers. Essential listening for whitetail hunters who like solving problems, thinking outside the box, and staying one step ahead of pressured bucks. Check out Troll Co.

    We Do This Too - We Been Outside with Lamar Ferris

    On this episode of the We Do This Too Outdoors Podcast, I sit down with my boy Lamar Ferris for one of those conversations that’s real from start to finish. We get into Lamar’s journey, what shaped him into the man he is today, his connection to the outdoors, and the experiences that have kept him pushing forward. This ain’t one of those rehearsed conversations either—we’re talking life, lessons, setbacks, growth, and what it means to keep showing up even when nobody is watching. Lamar brings his own perspective, his own story, and his own energy to the show, and that’s exactly what this platform is about. Everybody’s journey into the outdoors looks different, but every story deserves a place to be told. Pull up a chair and kick it with us. This is bigger than hunting. Bigger than the outdoors. It’s about the people, the stories, and the culture. Check out Troll Co. Clothing at trollco.com/hunting and enter EMPIRE25 for an awesome discount.

    Man Therapy - Choose Contentment

    Most of what feels like "family chaos" is really chronic stress, comparison, and a brain trained to chase the next thing. Dan Johnson and MCKV break down why so many parents and couples stay stuck in frustration - and what it actually takes to become calmer, more grateful, and harder to push off center. Dan opens up about a nonstop stretch of travel, parenting, wrestling tournaments, and a hospital scare that put everything back into perspective. From a rushed family trip to Branson and the pressure of always being "on" as a dad, to seeing kids in the children's hospital facing far bigger battles, this conversation keeps returning to one big question: why do we let small discomforts hijack our entire mood? You'll discover: Why vacation with kids often feels more like a survival mission than a breakThe difference between being externally anchored and internally anchoredHow chronic stress quietly becomes your new normalWhy gratitude is a practice, not a personality traitHow volunteering, perspective, and service can retrain your mindsetWhat to do when your spouse, kids, or household triggers your fuseMCKV brings the therapist's lens to the whole thing, explaining how people get pulled into resentment, how negative thinking becomes a habit, and why changing yourself first is the only real way to change the room you're in. He also shares practical ways to think about contentment, emotional boundaries, and the kind of daily choices that lower stress before it turns into blowups. This episode matters because the cost of staying in chronic stress is bigger than a bad mood. It affects your marriage, your parenting, your patience, and the way your whole family experiences home. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, annoyed, ungrateful, or one little thing away from snapping, this conversation will hit close to home.Perfect for parents, husbands, wives, and anyone who knows they need to reset their mindset before life gets any louder.

    N.F.C. - Tinfoil Hats & Misinformation Campaigns

    CWD, fake hunting trends, and corporate money are quietly reshaping the future of whitetail hunting - and Kevin Vistison thinks most hunters are looking at it all backwards. Dan Johnson sits down with Kevin for a raw, wide-ranging conversation that starts with gear and quickly turns into one of the most provocative hunting discussions of the year. From the brands he trusts to the ones he refuses to support, Kevin breaks down how hunting companies, holding groups, and private equity can influence the culture and even the regulations that affect your time in the woods. You’ll discover: Why Kevin believes CWD has been used to justify bureaucracy, fear, and bad policyHow COVID changed the way he thinks about information, trust, and “official” narrativesThe baiting and feeding contradictions he sees in state regulationsWhy he says hunters should pay closer attention to where their money actually goesHow modern media, branding, and social platforms are reshaping what hunting looks like to the next generation Dan and Kevin also get into the evolution of hunting gear, the shift from hauling a truckload of clothes to packing a minimalist system, and why comfort, quiet, and simplicity matter more than macho suffering ever did. Kevin shares the story behind Deer Hunter Gear, why his clothing is made in the U.S., and how he built it around a real problem he saw in the field. This episode is also about what hunting still means at its best - community, mentorship, and the unexpected connections that change lives. Kevin shares how one podcast introduced him to a lifelong hunting partner, and Dan reflects on the spiderweb of friendships, businesses, and opportunities that this community has created over the last decade. Essential listening if you care about whitetail hunting, the business behind the brands, and where the future of the sport is headed. Check out Troll Co.

    Hunting Gear Podcast - Run & Gun Mobile Hunting Gear

    Heavy mobile hunting gear gets exposed fast in the field. In this episode, Jake Fleischman breaks down the stand, sticks, boots, clothing, and carry system he trusts for Wisconsin public land, and explains why simpler, lighter gear keeps winning as the miles add up. Dan Johnson and Jake dig into the real-world tradeoffs behind run-and-gun whitetail hunting in bluff country along the Mississippi, where steep terrain, crooked trees, long sits, and constant setup changes punish bad equipment. Jake shares why he moved away from heavier setups, what made him come back to a lightweight tree stand over a saddle, and how he keeps his system stable, quiet, and comfortable all day. They also cover: Why the XOP Fly stood out over heavier optionsHow seat height, boot room, and tooth design affect stand performanceWhy Jake prefers simple, stable climbing sticksHow his layering system changes with wind, cold, and long sitsWhich boots work best for mobile huntingThe small accessories that make a big difference in the woods If you’re building a better whitetail system for public land season, this episode is packed with practical takeaways.
