Afflictor Broadheads make sense to me. You can look at the designs and read the specs and understand how these broadheads are durable, fail-safe, and get the job done in the woods.

Saddle hunting is almost as a big a “thing” as heavy arrows in the hunting world right now! LOL Seriously though, I was so glad to talk with Mr. Benny Gregoire, owner of Buzzard Roost Saddles, to get a better explanation of the benefits of saddle hunting. Benny and Buzzard Roost are synonymous with scrappy, non-fancy, blue collar hunters. It's who they are and who they represent.

I am so glad I was able to have Josh on to talk about everything from his scouting strategy to the way he tries to supplement the nutrition of his local deer herd to his mantra of “shoot what you want.” This is not an encouragement to shoot small or young deer so much as it is an acknowledgement that hunters are in different phases of their hunting journey, hunters are in different regions of the country, and hunters own their own tags.

Mark this down as the day things got Western on the Wannabe Hunting Podcast … well, sort of. Thanks to my guest, Jacob Coons, I am thinking about going elk hunting - without driving or flying nearly as far as I thought!

I am so glad that Alan and I were able to connect. As a new hunter, I honestly needed a good lesson on chokes - in layman's terms, from an expert - and that is exactly what this episode is! Even if you are well versed in chokes, I think you will enjoy sitting on the front porch of your mind and joining us in this conversation. As it relates to turkey hunting, having the correct choke and ammunition combination can help you make the most ethical shot possible - which is the goal for all of us. If you are on the market for a choke, please check out Rectifire! They have some great options whether you're hunting turkey, waterfowl, or even shooting slugs for deer.

Alex DeBord always closes out the Talk About It Outdoors Podcast by saying “Mount the memories.” I believe we should all be doing that every day! When it comes to hunting, mounting the memories allows us to enjoy hunting 24/7/365. Robert Ruark: “The best thing about hunting and fishing,' the Old Man said, 'is that you don't have to actually do it to enjoy it. You can go to bed every night thinking about how much fun you had twenty years ago, and it all comes back clear as moonlight.” 2022 is going to be a great year!
