Under Pressure Outdoors Podcast

We did this Live Sunday Evening and didn't make it 24hrs and I hop on social media and see the hunting community eating itself alive. It is absolutely ridiculous. At this point I'm not even sure I should be posing this as a question as it feels more relevant as a statement, We are our own worst enemy. Anyway there's still hope, I know that there's still plenty of people out there who still just want to see hunting as a pastime remain successful and thriving for the next generation.UPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/ UPO Social Media- https://linktrh.ee/underpressureoutdoorsBecome a Patron- https://www.patreon.com/user?u=45295718Deep Roots Rifle Company-https://deeprootsrifleco.com/

This the last installment of the Hunting Stories Series and then it's back to your regularly scheduled programming and we have some great shows coming your way. This week we're going back to a story crafted right here in the South East's own Appalachian mountain range. This week we're re telling Dillon Harper's Story of perseverance through the struggles of the public land hills he calls home in search of Black Bear and the elusive mountain whitetail buck.Hazmore Outdoor Products- https://hazmore.net/Use Code UPO15 at checkout for 15% off your next order!HangFree- https://hangfree.co/ Use code UPO10 at checkout for 10% off your next order!Water Feather Boats- https://waterfeathers.com/ Find a Dealer Near YouDayton Archers Club- https://daytonaarchersinc.com/ Mention UPO and get 10% off your membershipBecome a Patron- https://www.patreon.com/user?u=45295718UPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/ UPO Social Media- https://linktr.ee/underpressureoutdoors

Have you ever heard the saying there's a 100 different ways to skin a cat? PETA probably isn't going like that analogy but that's a different podcast for a different date. Coincidentally enough it seems like there's easily 100 x 100 different ways to kill a deer although in my experience some ways are better than others. So let's talk about it.

We're getting closer to being back on track and we have some awesome new episodes coming down the pipe for you all but in the meantime I want to share a story with you that is a hunt on my bucket list. This week we're jumping back to an episode that we recorded over a year ago talking with a gentleman named Nick about a successful sika deer hunt in Maryland. Ever since I saw Tony Makis hunt Sika deer when I was a kid on the TV show Under Wild Skies, I was dead set on setting foot in the marshes of Maryland in pursuit.Hazmore Outdoor Products- https://hazmore.net/Use Code UPO15 at checkout for 15% off your next order!HangFree- https://hangfree.co/ Use code UPO10 at checkout for 10% off your next order!Water Feather Boats- https://waterfeathers.com/ Find a Dealer Near YouDayton Archers Club- https://daytonaarchersinc.com/ Mention UPO and get 10% off your membershipBecome a Patron- https://www.patreon.com/user?u=45295718UPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/ UPO Social Media- https://linktr.ee/underpressureoutdoors

It's that time of year, well to be honest it's been that time of year for a while now. Just like you do with your bow you should be practicing with your rifle or muzzleloader in the off season even if it's just dry fire training. That being said, before you go to the woods you should be checking your zero and making sure the safe gremlins didn't make any off season adjustments for you so this week we're covering some procedures to help you sight in your rifle.

Things have gotten a bit crazy around here the last few weeks. So a little backstory, recently my beautiful wife fell and broke her knee cap in half and between working a full time job outside of this show, and needing to step up to take over a lot of her duties in the home as well I fell behind in scheduling and recordings. So… I've gone back through and found some of my favorite stories from the past to re-share with you all these next couple weeks while we catch back up with some new episodes. To kick it all off, my favorite story of all. The story of my son Rhylan's first deer.

Why do you go to the woods? Are you a serious hunter, everything must be perfect, the wind the scent regiment, absolutely everything or are you more relaxed. Do you measure the hunt in inches or in stories? There isn't a wrong answer and doing what makes you happy is the best choice but keep that in mind when someone else's legal choices don't align with yours.UPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/ UPO Social Media- https://linktrh.ee/underpressureoutdoorsBecome a Patron- https://www.patreon.com/user?u=45295718Deep Roots Rifle Company-https://deeprootsrifleco.com/

Boy do we have an exciting announcement this week, I'm sure you've likely become familiar with my co host Vince and the wealth of technical knowledge he's been on some fairly niche subjects here recently. All those nice things said if you look up A.D.D. in the dictionary there's a picture of Vince next to the definition. On that note UPO Media Co. is excited to bring to you the Weaponized Attention Deficit podcast hosted by none other than my co host and this week's guest Vince Phelps. This show is going to air as part of our podcast network on Fridays and will be talking a lot about guns, shooting and fitness. When I say these guys train hard and train often I mean it but I'll let Vince do the talking and tell you all about the show.

We've all heard enough of it from the anti hunting community and now it's coming from our side of the fence. I get that you might not agree with how things are run conservation wise in Florida but if you aren't providing a viable solution with your complaint you're just creating static. The Upcoming Florida bear hunt is no stranger to the whining, complaining and bickering and we're going to talk about it.

It is officially deer season in a large majority of the south and that is a reason to rejoice! It's the best season of the entire year! Now if you've spent any decent amount of time in the woods you know that bad shots happen. We practice in the off season and wait patiently for the right opportunity to present itself but sometimes even when everything seems to be going right, something goes wrong. This isn't the first time we've covered this subject but it's our first time getting to sit down with Chris with Bird Dog Drone Services and talk about deer recovery, herd analysis, and all the other services Chris offers. You guys up here in north central Florida need to save his number, he's your man up in this area but he also works alongside our former guest Trey Larson to help cover the whole state of Florida.

Country folk were going green by necessity before it had a cool name. From keeping the same old truck running to collecting beer cans for well, beer money. Living close to the land has been a way of life long before growing a garden and canning food was considered “Prepping” it was just a simple way of life.

This definitely isn't the first time we've covered the great loop, but if you weren't already aware The Great Loop is a continuous waterway route that recreational boaters take around the eastern United States and parts of Canada.The loop is about 6,000 miles total, depending on the chosen path and most boaters take about a year to complete it in cruisers, trawlers or sailboats but not Robert. Our guest this week Robert Youens completed the great loop on July 31st this year in just 19 days, 13 hours, and 1 minute, setting a new solo speed record aboard his modest 16-foot jon boat named Ageless Wanderer and he's here to share his story of this incredible and inspiring journey and so much more.Hazmore Outdoor Products- https://hazmore.net/Use Code UPO15 at checkout for 15% off your next order!HangFree- https://hangfree.co/ Use code UPO10 at checkout for 10% off your next order!Water Feather Boats- https://waterfeathers.com/ Find a Dealer Near YouDayton Archers Club- https://daytonaarchersinc.com/ Mention UPO and get 10% off your membershipBecome a Patron- https://www.patreon.com/user?u=45295718UPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/ UPO Social Media- https://linktr.ee/underpressureoutdoors

I don't get it man, I really don't. Would you believe me if I told you there are people out there self centered enough to hate on youth seasons? Of course you would, you're on the internet just like I am, I'm sure you've seen it. The question is why do they hate it? Let's talk about it.

It's no secret that nationwide invasive aquatic plants are a problem, it's also no secret that people everywhere, generally speaking, don't like the fact that herbicides are used in the attempted mitigation of invasive aquatic plants. Especially in Florida.

Gator season is in full swing down here and the lizards are rolling in left and right and we figured you guys might be interested in the guys that trap these jokers year round down here. During gator season anyone with a tag can go out to their respective areas and harvest a gator but the rest of the year someone has to be responsible to doing the remedial task like pulling a 7 footer out of your swimming pool or 9 footer out of the pond behind your house because he gave fido an I'm gonna have you for dinner look.

It feels like everyone loves to hate the 6.5 creedmoor. My question is why? Is it really not adequate for taking whitetail sized game? Or is it just because it's a new fad?

When we say it's hunting season down here in Florida it could mean any number of wild creatures from whitetail deer, to iguanas, hell it could even mean pythons! This week we sat down with Nick Odom to talk about chasing alligators across the state of Florida. Nick has passion for chasing these giant lizards and helping others bring home a nice new set of gator skin boots and some fine fixins of gator meat. Let me tell you if your only experience with gators is from behind glass at the zoo and the only time they've graced your plate was as bar food.

If you've been following the hunting politics here in Florida you're more than aware of the fact that we have had some very serious discussions about getting ourselves a bear hunt. We did have a hunt back in 2015 that came close to meeting the quota in just around 2 days subsequently triggering the closure of a scheduled week-long season. That hunt was a publicity nightmare to say the least. We've already had 1 meeting this year that went well for the hunters back in May and now it's time for the final ruling on the bear hunt and to establish a season for later this year. This meeting will be held in Havana Florida on August 13 and hunters need to pack the room. Sadly we won't be able to attend this meeting for our day jobs but you can guarantee I'll be tuned in to the Florida channel and following along. Fingers crossed things will go as we discussed them in this show and science and conservation will win out over emotion.UPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/ UPO Social Media- https://linktr.ee/underpressureoutdoorsHazmore Outdoor Products- https://hazmore.net/Use Code UPO15 at checkout for 15% off your next order!HangFree- https://hangfree.co/ Use code UPO10 at checkout for 10% off your next order!Water Feather Boats- https://waterfeathers.com/ Find a Dealer Near YouBecome a Patron- https://www.patreon.com/user?u=45295718

I don't hate any of you for what you choose to hunt with as long as it's legal. I will however always reserve the right to my own opinion as everyone should. I'm not anti any form of hunting and if you hunt with a crossbow trust me you might want to hang around for this one. O and one more thing for what it's worth to anyone's opinion of me, I only hunt with a bow during bow season because the law says I have to once that's over I pick up some more modern technology.

For the past few weeks you've likely heard us talking about the Daytona 55 archery shoot put on by the Daytona Archers Club. Well this week we sat down with Doug and Mark of the Daytona Archers Club to learn not only about the upcoming shoot on the 16th and 17th but to really dive into what the club offers to its members on an annual basis.

John just recently came back from a trip down to Jurassic Living Jewels where he chased some monsters, we'll let him tell the story and the how too once we kick this thing off but first I'd encourage you to take a minute and check out a spey rod on google.

When I started hunting, the minerals we bought were typically that big red 50lb block salt lick you could find at any feed and hardware store and it worked.it worked for sure but a lot has changed over the years in terms of delivery but the one thing that remains consistent is how important making sure you're providing the deer on your property all the keys to success necessary to thrive and grow.

Considering I was raised in the flatwoods of Florida, when I think of fishing in the saltwater I really don't think of anywhere else but the state I call home. However, the ocean is vast and the fisheries are connected maybe more than you realize. Some fish even migrate similar to ducks down the flyways in the fall. This week we sat down with Steve Brewster to discuss the issues fishermen are facing in North Carolina and how they are already affecting fishermen up and down the Atlantic coast, Florida included.

It's not often we get to sit down with a retired game warden and hear his tales from a Florida that seems so far distant in the past, a wilder place full of flat woods and swamps. A time before all the orange groves and pastures were sold off to become houses, before history and heritage were built over. This week we're joined by retired FWC Officer and Author Bob H. Lee.

The allure of an area of untouched wilderness drives many to wander just a little further, to see what's around the next bend or over the next hill.

Doing some serious cave diving and he's quite literally written a book on how it's done.Rob Neto's Books- https://robneto.com/ Use Code UPO10 for 10% off for a limited timeUPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/ UPO Social Media- https://linktr.ee/underpressureoutdoorsHazmore Outdoor Products- https://hazmore.net/Use Code UPO15 at checkout for 15% off your next order!HangFree- https://hangfree.co/ Use code UPO10 at checkout for 10% off your next order!Water Feather Boats- https://waterfeathers.com/ Find a Dealer Near YouBecome a Patron- https://www.patreon.com/user?u=45295718

Hold on tight for another topic that stirs the pot for some, fresh off the back of talking bear hunting we're sitting down with Steve Miller and Larry Harvey of Save Rodman Reservoir. A Brief overview would be that Rodman reservoir was built in 1968 when the Kirkpatrick dam was built across the Ocklawaha river as part of the larger cross Florida Barge Canal Project. Some would like to see the dam breached and some would like to see the reservoir stick around myself included but we're all free to have our own opinions but let's hear it from the Save Rodman side.

When you think about a military base, you might think of tanks and machine guns or jets and warships. My question for you is, where does hunting rank on that list? A Lot of bases have opportunities, some just for active duty folk but allot spread the wealth into the civilian population and we're gonna talk about it.

This is the day we've had marked on our calendars for a little while now. We hope to see you in the room at the FWC meeting in Ocala FL and we hope you say your piece in support of a regulated bear hunt. Our voices will be met with “facts” based purely on emotion and tailored to fit a narrative. It's important when we speak, we speak educated facts not biased opinions so I'm going to provide you with a little education on how hunting is conservationUPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/ UPO Social Media- https://linktr.ee/underpressureoutdoorsBecome a Patron- https://www.patreon.com/user?u=45295718Deep Roots Rifle Company- https://shop.deeprootsrifleco.com/

This is a big week for Florida Sportsmen. This Wednesday May 21st at the college of central Florida FWC will be hosting a commission meeting with a well regulated black bear hunt on the agenda for 2025 and we need everyone to show up and speak out in favor of the hunt. I'll be sure to include the full address in the podcast description so you know where to go if you'd like to attend. I figured if we're talking bear hunting why don't we enjoy the story shared by Marc Saunders and Nick Evans about a hunt that not only was Marc's first bear hunt but his first hunt period and in the end resulted in a beautiful Boone & Crockett Georgia Black bear killed on public land.FWC Meeting Address- May 21, 2025 be there before 7:30 to sign up to speak.College of Central Florida The Ewers Century Center, Klein Conference CenterBuilding 403001 S.W.

Here's a question I get asked all the time, most specifically in the peak of deer season, so why don't we just cover the basics right now shall we? How do I get started hunting?UPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/ UPO Social Media- https://linktr.ee/underpressureoutdoorsBecome a Patron- https://www.patreon.com/user?u=45295718Deep Roots Rifle Company- https://shop.deeprootsrifleco.com/

This week I did a little catching up with Jim. Lately he's been bouncing around the south, so we talk about the places he's been and discuss some regulatory changes suggested by Florida's Wildlife Agency FWC. Trapping is on the menu after many years of all out prohibition in some instances and plain strange laws in other respects.UPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/ UPO Social Media- https://linktr.ee/underpressureoutdoorsHazmore Outdoor Products- https://hazmore.net/Use Code UPO15 at checkout for 15% off your next order!HangFree- https://hangfree.co/ Use code UPO10 at checkout for 10% off your next order!Water Feather Boats- https://waterfeathers.com/ Find a Dealer Near YouBecome a Patron- https://www.patreon.com/user?u=45295718

Ever heard someone say “ duck dynasty ruined duck hunting” or make an excuse for quite literally any other reason for why they can't kill deer, ducks or turkeys? Is that the case or did social media do all of the above or maybe they just suck at hunting?UPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/ UPO Social Media- https://linktr.ee/underpressureoutdoorsBecome a Patron- https://www.patreon.com/user?u=45295718Deep Roots Rifle Company- https://shop.deeprootsrifleco.com/

This is arguably the worst time of year in my opinion, deer season is over, duck season is over, turkey season is over, and it's starting to get real hot. This is the time of year we have to grin and bear it and wait out the long hot days of summer in order to make our way back to fall. This week I sat down with Vince and Jake to talk a little about everything and a lot about our favorite summer activities down here in the south.

Have you ever stopped to take inventory of the stuff you carry into the woods most often? Well this week I did and we're talking about what I carry almost every time I'm in the woods, hunting, scouting, camping and so on.UPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/ UPO Social Media- https://linktr.ee/underpressureoutdoorsBecome a Patron- https://www.patreon.com/user?u=45295718Deep Roots Rifle Company- https://shop.deeprootsrifleco.com/

By now I'm sure you're all aware of the fiasco that happened on April 1st on the water down here in Florida involving an enraged boat captain by the name of Brock Horner, if not go ahead and hit the pause button and run to your favorite google machine and educate yourself. The video that went viral led to outrage and the 1st brigade 2nd typing battalion of the keyboard warriors set their sights on the wrong Captain Brock. Sending some serious hate mail his way. So this week we're joined by the Second best Charter Fishing Captain in the world Captain Brock Wagner to discuss the case of mistaken identity, the craziness that ensued and to find out this captain brock is a great guy, who most definitely still catches some serious fish and a python or two if the occasion calls for it.

This week I received a question from an awesome group member of ours and a listener by the name of John. John wanted to know the effect that shotgun barrel length and choke combinations can have on the pattern he sees out of his shotgun, So I'm going to do my best to explain that.

It's been quite a long while since we've had this guest on the show, This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with Mr. Dennis Smith, we interviewed Dennis way back in season 1 of the show for the Outdoorsmen Of A Bygone Era series and talked mostly about running dogs in the Ocala National Forest back before the technology used today even remotely existed. Over the last few months I've been joining Dennis once in a while in his radio broadcast studio to sit down for a segment on his sports show and talk a little about hunting and the great outdoors. So this week I flipped the rolls on him once again and sat him down in our studio for some good ole hunting stories.
