Think men are overconfident? Just wait until you hear the latest survey about soccer fans.On this episode of The Treehouse Show, we dive into a hilarious study revealing just how many soccer fans believe they could compete at an elite level. Are sports fans completely delusional, or are professional athletes making things look too easy? Dan delivers his classic American perspective on soccer, flopping, and why some people still can't take the sport seriously.We also cover the latest celebrity birthdays, which somehow leads us into a debate about Marvel's Eternals. Was it one of the biggest MCU disappointments ever, or does it deserve a second chance?And we get into Dan's fear of black ones. Plus: ⚽ The shocking survey exposing soccer fan delusion
Send us Fan MailA big boar comes in after a week of absence, the shot looks right, the arrow is a clean pass through, and the blood trail is shocking for a bear. Then the track turns into every hunter's gut punch: you hear coughing, you bump him once, you push hard because the sign feels “too good,” and eventually the trail just ends in thick, swampy woods. That's where my conversation with Terance Boss of Boss Outfitting in Alberta begins, and it quickly turns into the kind of honest bear hunting talk most people only have around a fire.Terance has guided black bear hunts since the late 1990s, and he's seen what bears can survive: old bullets in shoulders, missing legs, and hits that make no sense until you're skinning one out. We unpack what bear behavior after the shot can hint at, why waiting is part of ethical bowhunting and rifle hunting, and how easy it is to turn a recoverable bear into a nightmare by pushing too soon. We also get practical about baiting, from running meat early to switching when heat makes it brutal, the truth behind candy myths, and why trail cameras and any “new” smell can become a magnet because you simply cannot beat a bear's nose.Then the conversation goes wild in the best way: wolves circling bait sites, wolverines that make full grown bears scatter, and what happens when hunting pressure drops and conflicts spike, from beehives to wrecked ATVs. We close by talking remote bears, grizzly expansion, and why conservation often means targeting older, dominant animals even when that makes some people uncomfortable.If you care about spring bear hunting, black bear baiting, tracking, and making better decisions after the shot, you'll get a lot from this one.

Quill Rose was a Confederate veteran, bear hunter, blacksmith, storyteller, and moonshiner who lived deep in the Smoky Mountains along Eagle Creek. In this episode of Stories of Appalachia, we tell his story, from Cades Cove in the 1840s through war, family life, isolation, to his illegal whiskey-making in the mountains.Along the way, Quill became a figure known not just for survival, but also for his loyalty to family, his reputation with Plott hounds, his run-ins with the law, and the many colorful stories told about him, many of which he told himself.Subscribe to the Stories podcast so you don't miss any of our Stories of Appalachia.Thanks for listening!
There are plenty of Conservation issues earning local and national spotlights, but what is happening right now behind the curtain in Texas may not be discussed enough. Sam returns for a live solo show with a lot on the agenda. Often covering conservation topics in other States, he takes this opportunity to share a concerning look behind the curtain in his home State of Texas. While both residents and non-residents may believe everything is running just fine in the Lone Star State, there is no doubt specific people are pushing into certain positions which hold the influence to begin chipping away with an anti-hunting agenda. Additionally, Sam talks about the perception of hunting bears and predators, and what true conservation looks like. This is a very educational episode, and one that every hunter (and certainly Texans) should listen to.

Send us Fan MailOne trail cam photo. A last-second change of plans. Then a black bear so big it ties the world record on skull measurement. We're joined by returning guest Tyler Young from Old Fort, North Carolina, and he walks us through the full chain of events that led to an officially weighed 574 pound mountain bear and a Boone and Crockett score of 23 9/16. What makes this story hit is how grounded it is: careful dog work, smart choices under pressure, and a crew trying to do it right in steep, thick country.We talk hound hunting from the inside out: what Tyler keeps in his kennel, why Plotts still have a reputation for grit, and how he trains dogs through the summer on private land when many hunters can't legally run year-round. Tyler explains baiting realities, seasonal food shifts, and why he often runs at night to protect his hounds from heat and humidity. He also shares a blunt reminder that these animals fight back, including the time a bear grabbed him and bit through his jeans and boot during a ground encounter.Then we get into the hunt itself, step by step: why they switched locations, why they started with a smaller pack, how the bear kept bailing through cover, and how shot safety around baying dogs shaped every move. We wrap with the brutal pack-out, the scoring and awards, and a bigger conversation about conservation, perception, and what it will take to keep hound hunting alive as land access shrinks and public opinion shifts.If you care about black bear hunting, North Carolina bear hunting, hound hunting ethics, or what “record book” really means, this one's for you.

Trent and Tyler catch up after a busy spring of bear hunting, including a week in Idaho with Mountain Ops featuring hounds, where four bears were taken but the guest only saw one and didn't shoot; they discuss surprising appreciation for dog hunting, bear overpopulation near home, and how terrain and low bear density can make spot-and-stalk unappealing. The guest recounts a dangerous incident where hounds tried to cross a raging Salmon River fork, leading him to rescue a nearly drowning dog and recover others via an old miners' cable bridge. The conversation shifts to outdoor media: audience metrics favor constant action, YouTube has become crowded, and live hunting "camps" are growing, often funded by attendee fees with sponsors providing product. They argue in-person events may be "future-proof" amid AI, note AI's risks without critical thinking, and describe an AI-driven product scam involving a knockoff Anchor Point bow holder. They also discuss hiring, execution vs ideas, and scaling a founder-led hunting brand.
In this latest installment in our mini-series, How To Be A Bear Hunter, we talk to Dante Zuniga-West about hunting pumpkin-headed monsters. We talk stillness, visualization and readiness, as well as Dante's favorite bear gun and loads. Dante came to hunting by way of prep school in Bel Air. He is a mild-mannered high school principal, the offspring of educators, he holds a master's degree from an art institute and he is the Backwoods Blaxican. He grew up searching out and reading hunting magazines then found his way into the Northwest. Now he lives on a farm in western Oregon and hunts bear and deer and grouse in the Coast Range.

Send us Fan MailA spring bear bait run can feel routine… until a sow comes in hard and closes the distance to two feet. We're joined by New Brunswick hunter, guide, and podcaster Wesley Thebeau for a wide-ranging talk that moves from traditional archery fundamentals to the real workload behind running a bear outfitting camp, plus the bird dog obsession that takes over every fall.Wesley explains how he got hooked on trad bow hunting, why “trad bow close” is a non-negotiable standard for many hunters, and how he sets baits to deliver true 10 to 15 yard shots. We dig into spring bear hunting strategy, tracking decisions, and why spring can outperform fall when natural food is everywhere. Then we get the backstory on March and Milco and how an unexpected partnership forms with NHL star Brad Marchand, including what it's like to watch a world-class athlete bring that same mindset to archery practice and camp life.From there we shift into upland hunting in New Brunswick, woodcock migration, thick clearcut cover, and what makes the region a legitimate destination for grouse and woodcock hunters. Wesley talks versatile hunting dogs like the Deutsch Drahthaar, why they demand year-round structure, and how fat biking groomed winter trails keeps both dogs and handlers ready. We round it out with wild game cooking, the carnivore diet discussion, and his push to improve the outdoor industry through United Guides and Outfitters of New Brunswick.If you enjoy spring bear hunting, traditional archery, bird dogs, woodcock hunting, and honest outfitting stories, hit subscribe, share this with a hunting buddy, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.Check us out on Facebook Hunts On Outfitting, or myself Ken Marr.

WXPR News for 2-3-26
Nathan Griffin [like his younger brother] is a lifelong houndsman, bear hunter, and commercial turkey farmer in Pendleton County, West Virginia. On this 2nd part of our in-the-field, ride along with Appalachian bear hunting brothers we open with a riveting reading from the memoir of an early-1800's backwoodsman about a bear skin umbrella & hunting with a knife. As we drive the snowy mountain roads in search of a fresh track, Nathan describes various aspects of being a modern houndsman: from dog-work to being a good example, selective harvest and seasons based around wildlife management. We hear about sleeping in the woods, finding den trees, and a wildcat encounter in a rock hole. Of course a major part of any hunt is the food it provides and thus we talk of bear roasts, pies, meat handling and uses for rendered bear fat. And that's just about when we find a track! The dog box is thrown open and the howling dogs are cut loose into the cold mountains. While they lose the track in melted snow, we end up bushwhacking a thousand feet down a ridge to a bear in a tree where Nathan's hounds have joined another hunting party's and Jacob [from Part I] successfully tags out on a beautiful he-bear. From the mountains to the farm workshop, we come together around the Griffin family hearing from both brothers, a wife & their father about butchering, cooking and this truly American folkway.

For his species of the week, Robi discusses the festive reindeer and Emma talks about the Arctic fox and her special connection to them in Iceland. For their local conservation stories, Robi spotlights some exciting new research showing how reintroducing wolves in Scotland could help regenerate forests and sequester carbon. Emma platforms the European Young Rewilders, with Emma and Robi keen to join the movement. Robi and Emma end with their global conservation news, with Robi delving deeper into polar bear hunting and management, breaking down WWF's stance on this topic. Emma ends by sharing some sad new for snowy owls in Sweden, but also some better news for the species in North America. We look forward to bringing you with us into 2026!Robi Watkinson is a Conservation Biologist and wildlife filmmaker specialising in the spatial and movement ecology of large carnivores, camera trapping survey methods, rewilding, metapopulation dynamics and conservation planning.

Jacob Griffin is a lifelong houndsman, bear hunter and turkey farmer in Pendleton County, West Virginia. This is the first of a two-part podcast series recorded in the field with the Griffin brothers as we drove up rough mountain forest roads covered in snow and ice in pursuit of bear tracks. After a reading of Abraham Lincoln's 1846 poem, "The Bear Hunt," we jump right into it, hearing how the dogs work including Jacob's fearless mountain feist, Pete, who recently was nearly killed by a bear. Our jovial huntsman summarizes an exciting lifetime of dog injuries, harrowing bear encounters, and a pile of destroyed trucks. We hear how meaningful this Appalachian folkway & tradition is to the Griffin family, including how the old timers did it before modern GPS technology. Moving on to felines, we discuss large cat tracks we've found and regional panther-lore. As we finally reach our remote starting point, Jacob tells a haunting story of a paranormal scream he heard in that exact location which opens up talk of finding long forgotten graveyards as well as eerie signs of people hiding out in this mountain fastness. Let the hunt begin!

On this edition of West Virginia Outdoors, Chris Lawrence tackles some of the most pressing wildlife issues facing the Mountain State. The show opens with a detailed breakdown of the 2025 EHD outbreak, including an excerpt from Ethan Barton, wildlife disease specialist with the West Virginia DNR, explaining why Mid Ohio Valley counties were hit hardest and why deer populations are expected to recover. Chris also addresses ongoing frustration over the delay in buck harvest numbers, while sharing newly released fall turkey harvest data that shows a significant statewide decline. Later, Colin Carpenter, the DNR's Bear Project Leader, joins the show to explain the growing impact of sarcoptic mange in black bears, how it spreads, what hunters and landowners are seeing, and why a new multi-state research project may finally provide long-term answers. A timely, information-heavy episode focused on science, transparency, and the future of West Virginia's wildlife.
