What happens when you stop hunting the tree and start hunting the animal? On this episode of the Okayest Hunter Podcast, we sit down with Pat Newcomb and Glen Reich of Newcomb Hunting for a wide-ranging conversation about whitetail hunting from the ground, mobile hunting strategies, fresh deer sign, turkey hunting, entrepreneurship, and finding the right tool for the hunt. Pat shares how his background as a lifelong hunter—and a passion for run-and-gun turkey hunting—eventually led to the development of Newcomb Hunting's unique portable hunting blind. What started as a solution for staying concealed and mobile on the ground has opened up an entirely different way of looking at whitetail habitat. Instead of walking into the woods focused on finding the perfect tree, what happens when you set up where the deer actually want to be? We get into hunting fresh sign instead of yesterday's sign, adapting when the wind changes, hunting areas that don't offer a good tree-stand setup, minimizing your silhouette at eye level with deer, and using ground blinds, saddles and tree stands as different tools rather than committing yourself to a single hunting style. Pat and Glen also share stories from recent hunts, lessons learned from decades in the woods, the origins of Newcomb Hunting, new products they're developing, and what it's really like building a business inside the hunting industry. Whether you're a public-land whitetail hunter, saddle hunter, bowhunter, ground hunter, turkey hunter or simply looking for another way to approach pressured deer, this conversation might change the way you look at your next setup. The biggest takeaway? Don't just hunt where the deer were. Hunt where they're going to be. Topics include:• Whitetail hunting from the ground• Mobile deer hunting strategies• Hunting fresh deer sign• Ground blinds vs. tree stands and saddles• Bowhunting at eye level• Run-and-gun turkey hunting• Adapting to wind and changing conditions• Hunting difficult and overlooked terrain• Newcomb Hunting's origin story• Building products for hunters• Hunting industry entrepreneurship• Deer camp, hunting culture and plenty of Okayest Hunter tangents Featuring Pat Newcomb and Glen Reich of Newcomb Hunting.

Join us as we sit down with longtime whitetail hunter and outdoor personality Spook Spann for a deep dive into the pursuit of mature bucks! With decades of experience and a long history of chasing some truly incredible whitetails, Spook shares the lessons, strategies, and experiences that have shaped the way he hunts today.The conversation gets into how Spook approaches unfamiliar ground, locates mature bucks, studies individual deer, and uses trail cameras for more than just collecting pictures. He breaks down what makes a buck truly “killable,” knowing when to stay patient versus getting aggressive, and why access into and out of a stand can be just as important as where you hang it. Spook also shares the mistakes he still sees experienced hunters make, the bucks that have taught him some of his biggest lessons, and much more!After all the years, miles, and giant whitetails, we also unpack what still drives Spook Spann to chase whitetails every fall? This one is packed with mature-buck strategies, hard-earned experience, and plenty of whitetail hunting talk!Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/) - use code "fallobsession15" to save with HootBear River Archery (https://www.bearriverarchery.com/) - use code "fallobsession" when shopping online with Bear RiverTactacam Reveal Cameras (https://www.tactacam.com/)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)
This week Matty sits down with Willie Waldrip, a 21-year-old bowhunter from Texas who's already packed an unbelievable amount of hunting into his life. Willie grew up in a hunting family, killed his first deer with a bow at seven and was hunting by himself at 10. Today he's balancing full-time college with guiding, filming and spending pretty much every spare day he can hunting. We get into axis/chital, bison, sheep, a Kodiak brown bear at six or seven yards, and a wild Utah public land mule deer hunt that eventually ended with Willie taking a buck just shy of 197 inches. But what really stood out was Willie's approach. Slow down when you get close. Learn something from every stalk. Stay present when the pressure builds. At only 21, he's already got a heap of experience… and a really interesting perspective on what it takes to keep getting better with a bow.
What happens when a world champion archer steps off the tournament range and into the deer woods? In this episode of Southern U, we sit down with a national and world champion archer—and avid bowhunter—to talk about the human side of bowhunting. With archery season right around the corner in Alabama, we dive into what it really takes to be ready when that one opportunity finally presents itself. We talk preseason practice, building confidence with your bow, arrow and broadhead selection, realistic hunting distances, shot discipline, and how tournament-level shooting translates to hunting situations. But being accurate on a target is only part of the equation. We also get into the mental side of bowhunting: controlling nerves, dealing with adrenaline, making good decisions under pressure, knowing when to take a shot—and having the discipline to let down when the shot isn't right. How do you prepare for a moment that's almost impossible to recreate in practice? Does a world champion still get nervous when a mature buck walks into bow range? And what's the difference between being capable of making a shot and knowing you should take it? Whether you're a lifelong bowhunter or preparing for your first archery season, this conversation is about becoming a better, more confident, and more disciplined hunter when it matters most.

This week we're taking the show on the road and stepping inside the incredible new Bear River Archery facility in Van Alstyne, Texas for a conversation with owner and operator Justin Cannaday.A lot has changed since our last conversation with Justin. What started just three years ago in a 400-square-foot starter shop has grown into a massive archery destination! Justin walks us through the vision behind what they have created, the overwhelming response to the grand opening, and what it's like watching something you have built from the ground up continue to grow.We also get into the stuff that really matters to hunters — Justin's upcoming Colorado elk hunt, the difference between elk camp and whitetail camp, why elk hunting becomes such a team effort, mountain horses, bow setups, shot placement, and the preparation that goes into chasing an elk with a bow. The conversation eventually turns toward whitetails, hunting with family, the stories behind the taxidermy filling the walls of Bear River, balancing work and hunting, and the reality of turning something you love into your livelihood.And perhaps most importantly, Justin talks about where Bear River goes from here — and why he's willing to put the future of the business in God's hands rather than trying to control every step of the journey. This one is a true shop talk — bows, hunting, business, family, faith, elk, whitetails, and a whole lot of catching up between friends.Welcome back Bear River Archery!Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/) - use code "fallobsession15" to save with HootBear River Archery (https://www.bearriverarchery.com/) - use code "fallobsession" when shopping online with Bear RiverTactacam Reveal Cameras (https://www.tactacam.com/)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)

Captain Rhett Morris of morefishflorida.com has guided the greater Charlotte Harbor area for three decades — and he kept a catch log almost every day of it. That data now tells a story the numbers on Florida's coast are backing up: a steady, decades-long decline in snook, redfish, and trout that's accelerated since the mid-2000s. In this episode, Rhett walks Tom through what his records reveal, what actually caused the collapse (the record-shattering 2018 red tide, the nitrogen overload, and the algae that smothered the seagrass), and why Hurricane Milton turned out to be one of the best things to happen to the fishery in years. Then he lays out his proposal: treat Charlotte Harbor as a test zone, change the redfish and snook slot limits, and let the fishery become its own hatchery. It's not a mandate — it's the start of a conversation, and it comes with a real economic case for why even the developers should care. If it resonates, there's a petition at morefishflorida.com. As Rhett says, sharing it may matter even more than signing it.
This week Matty sits down with Jeff Helm, bowhunter, guide and owner of Arrowhead Bow Shop in McGregor, Texas. Jeff's been bowhunting for around 40 years and chasing elk for more than 20 of those… and last season he managed to go four for four on elk across four different states. We work through those hunts and how much the game changes as the season progresses. Calling bulls on public land, switching to spot and stalk when they shut up, reading terrain, predicting where an elk is heading instead of simply chasing it and learning to recognise those little signs that tell you you're suddenly right in the red zone. But what I really liked about this conversation is Jeff's approach to hunting after doing it for so long. He'll be the first to tell you there's an exception to just about every rule. You can have a plan, but you've still got to listen to what the animals, wind and terrain are telling you and be willing to change it. And sometimes you've just got to stay out there long enough to give yourself a chance. Jeff doesn't sleep in, doesn't head back to camp for lunch and doesn't quit when nothing's happening. After 20 or 30 days chasing elk, he reckons you might only get four to seven days where everything really fires… but those are the days you're out there waiting for.

Early season bowhunting looks a lot different depending on where you hunt in the Southeast. In this episode of Southern U, we sit down with a seasoned bowhunter to break down how opening dates, weather, food sources, and terrain can completely change your approach to hunting mature whitetails. From early-opening states where bucks may still be holding onto summer patterns to later openers where bachelor groups have broken up and food sources are changing, we talk about how to recognize the window you're hunting—and adjust accordingly. We also dig into hunting different types of Southern ground, including agricultural fields, hardwoods, pine plantations, cutovers, river bottoms, and hill country. Where should you start? How aggressive should you be? And when you've located a mature buck, how do you know when it's time to make your move? Along the way, our guest shares lessons learned from years of bowhunting and the stories behind some of the mature bucks he's been fortunate enough to put on the wall. If you're chasing whitetails anywhere in the Southeast this fall, this one's for you.

In Episode 91 we are joined by Zack Ansell. Zack is a habitually successful bow hunter who uses nonconventional tactics to punch his archery tag. He shares his approach to preseason scouting and strategies to carefully hunt in the early season without ruining the rest of it.Good luck to all the bowhunters hitting the woods this year!
Send us Fan MailYou can watch deer from a distance with modern gear, or you can choose the hard path and learn what it means to truly hunt them. We're joined by Jonathan Morlin to talk deer season, traditional bowhunting, and the kind of close-range discipline that puts you inside 20 yards of mature Arkansas bucks. He breaks down how he went from compound bow success to a recurve and longbow, why his “pie plate at 15 yards” practice standard works, and how confidence changes everything when the moment finally happens.We also dig into preseason deer scouting with trail cameras, why “target buck” plans can backfire, and how hunting pressure and local genetics make every “good deer” relative. Jonathan tells the full story behind a giant buck that grossed 186, including the missed opportunities, the adjustments that followed, and the emotional surge that comes with finally sealing the deal. If you care about ethical shot choice, traditional archery realism, and public land problem-solving, there's a lot here to steal for your own season.Then we get practical: filming your own hunts without blowing the setup, when to move midday, and how to hunt early season food sources like persimmon and honey locust trees. We even go straight at the wind and scent control debate with the kind of honesty that'll spark arguments in deer camp. Finish it off with out-of-state rut stories from Illinois and Kansas plus a wild bear encounter that proves the woods always have one more surprise.If you enjoyed the conversation, subscribe, share it with a hunting buddy, and leave a review so more deer hunters can find the show.

This one's a little different. I was invited to speak at Hunt Fest, and my talk was all about two things that can make or break a hunt... stalking and shot placement. I broke stalking down into a framework I've built from eight years of bowhunting, plenty of mistakes, and hundreds of conversations with hunters through the podcast. It's called STALK: Spot the animal, Test the wind, Assess the approach, Let the animal dictate your pace, and Know your shot. From there, I get into wind and thermals, reading animal behaviour, using terrain and shadows to close distance, and knowing when to move versus when to stay completely still. For me, the goal with a bow is always to get close. Ideally, I'm looking for 20 metres or under rather than stretching the shot just because I can. Then we get into the other half of the Hunt Fest talk... shot placement. I use models of the heart and lungs to show where the vitals actually sit, why shot angle matters, and why I prefer aiming around the vital triangle rather than simply thinking "middle of the lungs." The whole idea is pretty simple: get closer, understand exactly where you're aiming, and give yourself the best chance of making a clean, ethical shot.

#107: Brittany Redden is an archery hunter, mom, instructional designer, and children's book author who believes some of the best lessons in life are learned outside. Based in Oklahoma, Brittany spends her free time hunting elk, deer, and turkeys, fishing at the lake, camping, and exploring the outdoors with her family. In this episode of Reckoning, we talk about her journey into hunting and archery, chasing elk, and what it looks like to continue pursuing adventure while raising a family. We also dive into motherhood and Brittany's mission to raise good, happy, healthy daughters by using the outdoors as a natural classroom—giving them space to learn, explore, get dirty, and see the word of God in action. That same mission led Brittany to become a children's book author. Through her hunting and camping-themed books, including her latest, Autumn's First Turkey, she blends adventure and education to introduce kids to hunting, nature, and the lessons that can only be learned outside. This conversation is about more than hunting. It's about motherhood, raising capable kids, continuing to chase your own adventures, and passing a love of the outdoors on to the next generation.

Jesse Johnson is back on Fall Obsession Podcast, and this time we're talking traditional bowhunting, a hard-earned black bear redemption hunt in Canada, hunting ethics, conservation, family, and what it really means to be a hunter. Jesse shares the story of returning to Canada after a previous unsuccessful bear hunt and finally punching his tag with a traditional bow. But this hunt was about much more than putting a bear on the ground. We talk about the mental challenge of the hunt, getting close enough to make an ethical shot, and why traditional archery is so much more about the process and the challenge than simply the size of the animal. The conversation also takes a deeper look at the responsibility hunters have as stewards of wildlife and ambassadors for the hunting community. Jesse and Sam discuss conservation, the role hunting plays in wildlife management, and why how we represent hunting. Jesse also opens up about balancing a passion for hunting with being a husband and father, introducing his kids to the outdoors, and the impact hunters can have on people who may not initially understand or support hunting. From a Canadian black bear redemption hunt to traditional archery, hunting ethics, conservation, family—this is an honest conversation about the why behind the hunt.Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/) - use code "fallobsession15" to save with HootBear River Archery (https://www.bearriverarchery.com/) - use code "fallobsession" when shopping online with Bear RiverTactacam Reveal Cameras (https://www.tactacam.com/)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)
This week Matty sits down with Frank Megali and Rob Campbell, the creators of The Hunting App For years, NSW public land hunters had access to a free mapping option that allowed them to load their maps, see exactly where they were and head into the bush. When that disappeared behind a subscription, Frank and Rob saw an opportunity to give hunters that functionality back. The result is The Hunting App. An app designed by hunters, for hunters… with a free version that actually stays free. You can load your maps, download areas for offline use, mark waypoints, build geofences, keep track of hunting locations and start building your own database of what you're seeing in the bush. Then there are paid tiers coming for hunters who want to take things further with e-scouting, weather, property boundaries, terrain analysis and a heap more. But what I really liked about this conversation is the thinking behind it. These guys aren't trying to take something hunters already had for free and sell it back to them. They wanted to give the community a useful free tool first… then let the hunters themselves help shape where it goes from there. What We Cover: How Rob got into hunting through a mate's backyard target shoot before discovering R-Licence hunting and NSW State ForestsWhy Rob reckons new hunters should start scouting, setting trail cameras and learning animal behaviour before they've even got all their hunting gearHow watching deer without the pressure of taking a shot helped Rob understand feeding, bedding and movement patternsFrank's background hunting rabbits, foxes and deer, and how he now hunts with big-game indicating dogsHow Frank and Rob train their dogs to recognise deer scent, ignore non-target animals and work within a controlled range in front of the hunterWhy Avenza's pricing change became the catalyst for creating The Hunting App and why keeping a genuinely free version mattered to themHow the free version handles georeferenced maps, DPI maps, offline satellite and topo mapping, pins, notes and up to nine square kilometres of offline mapsHow private-property hunters can use boundaries, geofences, gates and no-go zones to make communication with farmers clearer and saferHow the upcoming e-scouting tools combine property boundaries, routes, watercourses, terrain, slope, weather, wind forecasts and other map layers before you leave homeHow NSW public land hunters can store licences and permissions while still carrying the required DPI-provided maps to remain compliantHow bowhunters can use points and distance markers for blood trailing, marking last blood and navigating back to where an animal was standing when the shot was takenHow pins, photos and hunt history could build a long-term record of wallows, rubs, sightings, weather and animal movement so hunters can start recognising patterns over time Key Takeaway: Good mapping isn't just about knowing where you are. If you can combine scouting, wind, terrain, boundaries and years of your own hunting observations in one place, you can arrive at a new block with a plan instead of burning the first day figuring everything out.
Tim Endsley has lived a life built around chasing the next adventure. After spending 27 years as a professional rodeo cowboy, travelling across North America and making a living doing what he loved, Tim eventually found himself drawn toward another passion — bowhunting. What started as a pursuit outside of rodeo eventually became a major part of his life. Tim traded the rodeo arena for public land, a bow and a camera, and began chasing mature whitetails while documenting the journey along the way. His passion for hunting and storytelling eventually turned into a career as an award-winning outdoor photographer and filmmaker. In this episode of the Panoramic Outdoors Podcast, Tim and I talk about the journey from cowboy to bowhunter, what rodeo taught him about perseverance and failure, and what it takes to chase big whitetails on public land. We get into the reality of DIY hunting, spending long stretches living out of a truck, dealing with failure, finding mature deer and why the challenge of public land continues to keep him coming back. But this conversation goes well beyond hunting. We talk about taking a different path in life, following your passion, the importance of being willing to change direction and what it really means to build a life around the things you love. Tim has an incredible collection of stories from a lifetime spent chasing adventure, and this conversation gives you a chance to hear the man behind the hunts, the films and the photographs. It's a great conversation about hunting, rodeo, adventure, failure, success and simply having the guts to chase the life you want. Thanks for listening to the Panoramic Outdoors Podcast.

What does it take to turn your ground into a productive whitetail habitat? In this episode we are joined by Brett Smith from Whitetail Land Management Services. Brett breaks down the fundamentals of whitetail habitat, from bedding and food sources to access, hunting pressure, timber management, and everything in between. We talk about the biggest mistakes landowners and hunters make, tactics and strategies for hunting mature bucks, and what it actually takes to create habitat that keeps those mature bucks on your ground. Whether you're managing hundreds of acres, hunting a small parcel, or simply trying to make the ground you have better, this conversation is packed with practical information you can put to work. Great deer don't happen by accident—and better hunting starts with a better understanding of habitat.Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/) - use code "fallobsession15" to save with HootBear River Archery (https://www.bearriverarchery.com/) - use code "fallobsession" when shopping online with Bear RiverTactacam Reveal Cameras (https://www.tactacam.com/)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)

This week we're joined by Kayla Harrod (@fit2hunt_kh) for an honest conversation about life, hunting, and navigating the outdoor industry as an authentic creator. Kayla shares how she found her way into hunting, the experiences that shaped her passion for the outdoors, and what it's really like balancing family, content creation, and life beyond social media. We also dive into the realities of being a female influencer in the hunting space, the importance of staying true to yourself in an industry full of opinions, and why authenticity matters more than chasing trends, likes and followers. Kayla also talks about filming her own hunts and the lessons she's learned along the way—both behind the camera and in the woods. Whether you're a hunter, an aspiring content creator, or someone trying to balance your passions with everyday life, this episode is full of genuine conversation, practical insight, and a reminder that the best relationships are built from simply being yourself.Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/) - use code "fallobsession15" to save with HootBear River Archery (https://www.bearriverarchery.com/) - use code "fallobsession" when shopping online with Bear RiverTactacam Reveal Cameras (https://www.tactacam.com/)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)
The Green Way Conservation Club is officially here! Learn more, use the free advocacy tool, or become a founding member www.greenwayconservationclub.com In this episode of The Green Way Outdoors Podcast, Kyle, Jeff, Ryan, and AJ explain why they created the Green Way Conservation Club and how it can give Michigan hunters, anglers, trappers, and conservationists a faster, more effective way to make their individual voices heard. The club's free advocacy platform helps users learn about important outdoor issues, identify the correct elected representatives and wildlife officials, and send a message directly from their own email account. Whether someone agrees or disagrees with the Green Way Conservation Club's position, the system remains available for them to express their own view. The goal is to create a new town square for Michigan's outdoor community. Hunters and anglers will not agree on every issue, but disagreement should not prevent anyone from being represented. The platform is built around open discussion, transparent opinions, individual participation, and direct communication with the people responsible for making decisions. Kyle and Ryan also share their experience working through the Michigan United Conservation Clubs proposal process and explain why they believe the state's outdoor community needs an advocacy system that is faster, more accessible, and more transparent. The team then puts that approach into practice by examining two major Michigan issues. They break down House Bill 6008 and the debate surrounding a potential Michigan wolf season, presenting arguments from both sides before explaining the club's final position. They also examine House Bills 5801 and 5802, including the controversy surrounding expanded commercial access to walleye, yellow perch, and lake trout in the Great Lakes. The Green Way Conservation Club is also being built to connect people with hands-on opportunities. Its upcoming Conservation Calendar will help Michigan residents find river cleanups, habitat projects, tree plantings, wildlife research, and other ways to actively support the resources they care about. Members will also be able to submit emerging concerns, participate in live discussions, receive outdoor-industry benefits, and pass unused equipment along to a new hunter or angler. This episode is ultimately a call for unity. A trout fisherman may not personally participate in bear hunting, and a deer hunter may not spend much time fishing, but every part of Michigan's outdoor community has a responsibility to defend the others. The fight for conservation continues. The Green Way Conservation Club was created to make sure Michigan's hunters, anglers, and conservationists have a place to speak, participate, and be heard. #GreenWayConservationClub #MichiganConservation #MichiganOutdoors #MichiganHunters #WildlifeManagement Watch our HISTORY Channel show on:HISTORYWAYPOINT TVFollow us on:FacebookInstagramTwitterYoutubeOur Website

We break down how to make sure you hit where you really want, and how to avoid long track jobs and late nights of worrying and calling in the tracking dogs. From proper and improper form, to best ways to practice throughout season, considerations of arrow flight and set ups, if broad heads actual make noise, and how you should anchor and release for consistent arrow flight, we address it all with guest Casey Christman.

In this episode, Matty sits down with Ned Makim, President of the Australian Pig Doggers & Hunters Association (APDHA). What started as an obsession with hunting pigs has grown into one of the most influential hunting advocacy organisations in Australia. Through research, data collection and building relationships with the government, the APDHA has helped change the conversation around hunters from being seen as part of the problem to becoming part of the solution. This isn't just a conversation about pig hunting. It's about how every hunter whether you chase pigs, deer, goats or any game, can help protect the future of hunting in Australia. If you've ever wondered how hunters can earn credibility, influence government decisions and secure hunting opportunities for future generations, this is an episode you won't want to miss. Podcast Topics Why Ned believes every hunter represents the entire hunting community.How the Australian Pig Doggers & Hunters Association was formed and why it exists today.The biggest threats facing hunting in Australia and why "being left alone" is no longer an option.Why data not emotion is changing the way governments view hunters.The story behind the Great Australian Pig Hunt and how it recorded millions of pigs harvested across Australia.How hunters built the world's largest wildlife DNA collections through the 10,000 Ears Project.Why building relationships with researchers, media and politicians is just as important as hunting itself.The biggest mistakes hunters make on social media and how they damage the image of hunting.How APDHA is working towards expanding public land hunting opportunities across Australia.What every individual hunter can do to protect hunting for the next generation. Key Takeaway Hunters don't protect hunting through arguments they protect it through credibility. Every conversation, every social media post and every interaction with the public shapes how hunting is viewed. When hunters work together, present themselves professionally and back their position with real data, they earn a seat at the table where decisions are made.

On this episode of The Green Way Outdoors Podcast, the crew brings back everyone's favorite chaotic animal-fact game show: Wacky Wildlife Wonders. Jeff steps into full game show host mode, complete with a wig, whiteboards, strange prizes, and some of the weirdest wildlife trivia we've ever heard. Kyle, AJ, and Ryan try to guess which animals shoot blood from their eyes, sleep in mucus cocoons, smell like bananas when threatened, have human-like fingerprints, and somehow manage to be even stranger than they sound. From horned lizards and honeybees to hippos, koalas, owls, parrotfish, and colossal squid, this episode proves once again that the natural world is way weirder than anything we could make up. #gameshow #animalfacts #conservation #huntingpodcast #fishingpodcast Watch our HISTORY Channel show on: HISTORY: https://www.history.com/shows/the-green-way-outdoors & WAYPOINT TV: https://waypointtv.com/watch/the-green-way-outdoors Follow us on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheGreenWayOutdoors/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegreenwayoutdoors/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegreenwayout?lang=en Youtube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCjR5r6WwXcPKK0xVldNT5_g Website: www.thegreenwayoutdoors.com Watch our HISTORY Channel show on:HISTORYWAYPOINT TVFollow us on:FacebookInstagramTwitterYoutubeOur Website
Getting dialed in for bow season isn't just about buying a new bow or shooting a few arrows before opening day. It's about building a setup you trust, developing repeatable shooting form, understanding your equipment, and putting in the reps so you're ready when the opportunity finally comes. In this episode of the Okayest Hunter Podcast, we're joined by Dan from Whale-Tales Archery in Dousman, Wisconsin, for a deep dive into bow setup, archery form, tuning, equipment, practice, and what it really takes to become a more confident and ethical bowhunter. As Dan puts it, “Archery is a hobby. Bowhunting is the reward.” We break down what happens when someone walks into an archery shop looking to get into bowhunting—from choosing a compound bow and establishing a budget to getting draw length and draw weight right, selecting a release, building a consistent anchor point, tuning arrows, setting up a bow sight, and figuring out what actually matters versus what might be overthinking it. We also talk about one of the biggest variables in archery: the shooter. Perfect textbook form isn't always the answer. Repeatability and consistency matter, and learning how your shooting form, release, anchor point, elbow position, draw length, and equipment work together can make the difference between chasing problems and confidently stacking arrows. The conversation also dives into choosing between bow brands, buying your first bow, the risks and advantages of used archery equipment, crossbow hunting and the stigma that still surrounds it, ethical shot distance, understanding your personal limitations, and why being capable of shooting farther doesn't necessarily mean you should take that shot on an animal. Whether you're brand new to bowhunting, upgrading your compound bow, trying to tighten your groups, or getting your hunting setup ready for whitetail season, this episode is a reminder that better bowhunting starts long before you're sitting in a tree. Topics include compound bow setup, archery form, bow tuning, draw length, draw weight, releases, bow sights, arrows, shooting consistency, crossbows, ethical shot selection, bowhunting gear, practice, whitetail hunting, and preparing for deer season. If you're getting ready for bow season, now is the time to shoot your bow, learn your equipment, know your limitations, and get dialed in before the moment that matters.

This week we're joined by outdoor content creator Gabe Robinson for a conversation that goes far beyond hunting. Gabe shares how his Christian faith has shaped his life, his approach to the outdoors, and the way he creates authentic content in an online industry that often pushes influence over purpose. We dive into Gabe's unique journey into archery, starting later in life and teaching himself the craft from the ground up. From overcoming the learning curve to developing his own hunting philosophy, Gabe offers encouragement for anyone who's ever wondered if it's too late to get started. On the content creation side, we talk camera gear, filming hunts, storytelling and the technological battle of authentic versus fake in the outdoor industry. Whether you're an aspiring creator or a dedicated bowhunter, this episode is packed with practical insights and genuine conversation.Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/) - use code "fallobsession15" to save with HootBear River Archery (https://www.bearriverarchery.com/) - use code "fallobsession" when shopping online with Bear RiverTactacam Reveal Cameras (https://www.tactacam.com/)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)

In this episode, Matty sits down with Dallas Hemeyer of 365 Pursuit. Dallas has spent years filming hunts around the world through 365 Pursuit, from Tanzania and New Zealand to Mexico and across the US. Along the way he's survived a helicopter crash, a rifle exploding in his face, dangerous infections and more than a few situations where getting home wasn't guaranteed. We talked about hunting some of the wildest places on earth, what it takes to prepare for the unexpected, and why hunters play such an important role in conservation across Africa. This episode will have you sitting on the edge of your seat from word go. Podcast topics: The story behind Dallas' viral Instagram post showing the injuries and close calls he's experienced while hunting around the world.A hunter collapsing from severe dehydration in remote Mexico and why simple mistakes can become life-threatening hours from medical help.Dallas' terrifying helicopter crash in Tanzania, rescuing injured passengers, and spending hours stranded before help could arrive.How a rifle exploded while shooting a Cape buffalo, leaving metal lodged beside Dallas' optic nerve and permanently changing his bow setup.Why learning to shoot left-handed after losing vision in his dominant eye actually made him a better archer.What years of hunting alongside African PHs taught Dallas about reading country, adapting to different species and becoming a more complete hunter.The reality of conservation in Tanzania, including anti-poaching patrols, hunting concessions and why hunters fund the protection of huge wild areas.Why banning trophy imports can have unintended consequences for wildlife and the communities responsible for protecting it.Dallas' current arrow setup, broadheads and the lessons he's learned after years of obsessive testing and building hundreds of arrows.Why getting closer—not shooting further—is still one of the biggest challenges and rewards in bowhunting.
