On this week's episode, Brian and Brad are joined by Pat Stuart and Dylan Stein who went out bow hunting for a mule deer here in South Dakota.

While Shags is off celebrating his wedding, we're rolling back to one of our favorite conversations from the early days of the show. In this best-of episode, Brandon Butler and Nathan “Shags” McLeod sit down with Clay Newcomb — before he joined MeatEater and became a household name in the hunting world.Clay talks about building Bear Hunting Magazine and its podcast, managing bears, spot-and-stalk hunts, baiting, and how the Ouachita Mountains stack up against the Ozarks. Plus: traditional bows, the mystery bait bucket, and a gear review that takes us straight back to the roots of the show. New episodes return next week — but for now, enjoy this classic conversation.Special thanks to:Living The Dream Outdoor PropertiesSuperior Foam Insulation LLCDoolittle TrailersScenic Rivers TaxidermyConnect with Driftwood Outdoors:FacebookInstagramYouTubeEmail:info@driftwoodoutdoors.com

Send us a textA clean shot isn't the only thing that makes a hunt honest. We dig into two bow stories that don't flinch: a high hit with no blood that turns into a bigger buck days later, and a first-year bowhunter who waits out a feeding buck at 35 yards, makes the shot, then learns what coyotes do overnight. No gloss, no shortcuts—just the choices that matter when the wind swirls, the light fades, and your heart is pounding in a tree.Lane breaks down how summer scouting and elevated cell cams built a pattern that held through the opener, why wind is the one variable he won't ignore, and how backing out after a marginal hit saved the season. He shares the moment he heard the diaphragm pop on a heavy-bodied 12 and the quiet relief of finding him within 80 yards. We talk scoring, why tall-tined deer looked smaller from high cameras, and how genetics tied his buck to a known local giant.Anthony—farmer, lumberjack competitor, and now first-time bowhunter—walks through a field-edge setup between soybeans and a regrowing cut. He explains why he avoided bait to protect a consistent travel pattern, how a steady headwind let him stay invisible, and the patience it took to watch an eight work from 100 to 35 yards. The shot felt perfect. The blood was thin. He backed out, returned at daylight, and recovered the buck despite coyotes. Along the way, he connects lessons from timber sports—razor edges, discipline, and timing—to making good decisions at full draw.We also get candid about nuisance permits, deer density, and crop damage, laying out how assessments and research guide those tags. If you're dialing early-season strategy, wondering when to wait versus push a track, or curious how soybeans and cuts shape movement, this one gives you a grounded, real-world blueprint. If it helps, share it with a buddy, subscribe for more hunts that tell the whole story, and leave a review with your toughest recovery lesson—we'll feature our favorites next week.Check us out on Facebook Hunts On Outfitting, or myself Ken Marr.

It's mid-October and Justin hits the woods to figure out where the deer disappeared to. What starts as a quick camera check turns into a frustrating mystery — a wrecked trail cam, no fresh rubs or scrapes, and even a dead doe in the field. But persistence pays off as fresh sign finally shows up and the plan comes together.

In this episode of Becoming a Bowhunter, Matty sits down with Troy Fowler, better known as Ranch Fairy, to dive deep into the science, ethics, and gear setups behind repeatable bowhunting. Troy's known for testing gear, sharing data, and helping bowhunters take clean, lethal shots on animals. He works closely with the Ashby Foundation, and everything they do aims to use physics and numbers to speak for the results. Whether you're brand new to bowhunting or you've been flinging arrows for decades, this episode may challenge the way you think about arrow weight, broadheads, tuning, and arrow speed. What you'll hear about in this episode: Heart Vs. Lung shotsThe different compartments of the lungs and how they functionWhy bowhunters need to stop chasing speed and start chasing penetration Why bow tuning + arrow nock tuning should be the standard Kinetic energy vs Momentum and what this actually meansArrow weight, mechanical vs fixed, and the real test: shoulder bones Troy's journey into bowhunting and how Ranch Fairy was born from hard truths and experimentation Stories from the field: pigs, elk, shoulder shots, and what makes Troy trust his system This episode is a wake-up call. If you've ever hit an animal and wondered why it didn't die… you need to hear what Ranch Fairy has to say.  Follow Troy Fowler (Ranch Fairy) Instagram: @ranchfairy YouTube: Ranch Fairy Channel Website & Resources: ranchfairy.com https://www.ashbybowhunting.org/  Follow Becoming a Bowhunter Instagram: @becomingabowhunter.podcast Hosted by: @mattyafter Episode Sponsors Dog and Gun Coffee – Fuel your hunt with premium blends.

SummaryIn this episode of Unstrung, Adam discusses the necessity of camouflage in bow hunting, sharing personal experiences and insights. He emphasizes that while camo can be beneficial, factors like scent and noise are far more critical to a successful hunt.

He encourages listeners to be mindful of their reactions and interactions, both in hunting and in life. The episode concludes with a light-hearted review of a beverage and an invitation for feedback.TakeawaysYou don't need camo to bow hunt.Scent and noise are more important than camo.Hunting can be expensive; prioritize your spending.You can successfully hunt in solid colors.Be aware of your impact on others in the community.Anger can influence how we are perceived by our children.It's important to model good behavior for the next generation.Engagement with the community matters in hunting and life.Don't let camo dictate your hunting experience.Feedback is essential for growth and improvement.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Unstrung Episodes02:28 The Camo Debate: Do You Really Need It?06:45 Hunting Realities: Scent, Noise, and Environment10:42 Reflections on Anger and Community Engagement14:34 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

In this episode, Matty is joined by Kip Adams (@kipadams_nda), the Chief Conservation Officer for the National Deer Association (@deerassociation), to talk about all things whitetail, conservation, and the evolving role of hunters. Kip brings over two decades of experience in wildlife biology and land management.

Caleb & Ethan in the secondary studio talking all about Caleb's opening day Ohio buck, a deer we called 7 Card. The hunt was everything we could ever ask out of an opening day bow hunt culminating in Caleb's second biggest archery buck.

Originally aired on October 4th, 2025. On this episode, Doug interviews Wayne Arrington, President of Arride Bikes, to discuss how incredible an e-bike can be for your outdoors experience. Doug also talks about Washington DC challenging a gun-related state law in Hawaii, and much more.

Opening day of bow season is here, and Todd, Justin, & Ben are kicking things off in northern Illinois with temps pushing into the mid-80s. From scouting cut corn and bean fields, to testing new gear and grabbing last-minute tags, it's a classic opener full of ups, downs, and laughs. This hunt is extra special—it's one of Todd's last chances on a farm that has taught him so much over the years. We set up over a rebuilt waterhole, dial in the stands, and wait out the heat in hopes of catching some early-season movement.

Send us a textIn this humdinger of an episode, Tim and Mike discuss what gear and accessories can be found inside of their hunting packs. What do you take to the stand? Welcome to the Backwoods Bowhunter Podcast. If you like bowhunting and backwoods humor, then you might have come to the right place. We do not take ourselves too seriously. Our style is for you to feel like you are sitting around the campfire with your buddies, tossin' back some cold beers, talking bowhunting and whatever else may come to mind. We keep it real, raw, and have some good ole fun.Follow along as we describe the ups and downs of a Whitetail hunting season sharing those experiences with you the listener. Unscripted and honest!

In this episode, Kurt shares a quick update on his summer adventures—canoe trips, big fish, and family time—before diving into some serious whitetail prep. Follow along as he builds a DIY mock rub/scrape tree using PVC, Quikrete, and a white pine branch to create the perfect setup in front of one of his favorite stand locations. From digging through rocky soil to hanging a licking branch and setting a trail camera, Kurt shows the full process of how he gets deer in bow range before October arrives. Whether you're looking for early-season prep ideas or just want to see another way to get deer in front of your stand, this is one project you'll want to try.

The 2024 deer season was anything but easy for Justin. Between balancing family life, long sits in the stand, missed opportunities, and a streak of bad luck, this year tested his patience more than ever. From helping his son Joey chase his first deer with a bow, to countless sits without seeing a shooter, Justin's season was full of ups, downs, and plenty of laughs along the way. Follow along as Justin battles through a tough fall in Illinois, encounters his target buck more than once, and reminds us that sometimes the real story of hunting isn't about the kill—it's about the grind, the memories, and the time spent in the woods.

In this episode of the Deer IQ podcast we continue in our series on mobile hunting details that make the difference, focusing on  mobile hunting basics most overlook,  even some veterans to the game. I'm with the Amsteel Guy, who specializes in modifications for mobile hunting systems and we talk about how he became known as the amsteel guy, why he thinks certain mods can make all the difference to your system, what he says is the TOP factor predicting success or failure at mobile hunting, what I hate about mobile hunting and why, and of course a lot more high IQ stuff as well. This is an episode geared toward beginners to mobile hunting, but is good for all mobile hunters who want to fine tune their approach.*Amsteel Guy Website: https://theamsteelguy.com/ DEER IQ Resources:** Season 3 Quiz: https://deeriq.com/season-3-quiz/ • Take the Deer IQ Test 360 HERE: https://deeriq.com/full-assessment/ • Get a Strategic Land & Hunting Plan for your Private Hunting Property HERE: https://deeriq.com/land-and-hunting-plans/ • GENERAL INFO about ALL Deer IQ Resources HERE: https://deeriq.com/services/ CONNECT These OTHER WAYS with Deer IQ!Website: https://deeriq.com  Facebook Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/511109237864762  Deer IQ  FREE Journal: https://deeriq.com/journal/  Pressured Public Lands Hunting Guide:  https://deeriq.com/public-land-hunting-guide/  Newsletter Signup: https://deeriq.com/signup/  Patreon - Contribute Financially to Deer IQ: https://www.patreon.com/DeerIQPatreon   Scent Control Regimen: https://deeriq.com/scentcontrol-regimen/  Episode #108Guest: Host Adam Lewis, Amsteel GuyIQ ranking - 1 (Beginner)

In this episode of Becoming a Bowhunter, Matty is joined by Jamie Macintosh and Hayden Reylewski. These two recently conducted a sound test on arrows, and what they found is pretty incredible. Inside this episode, we go into all of the elements they tested and break down exactly what makes your arrows loud or quiet while they're soaring through the air. The boys then help to draw the lines between their data and what that means for us bowhunters. Pretty much the sound of your arrow in flight could be the difference between an animal ducking the shot or not.  Podcast Topics: Testing Methods: How they measure bow and arrow noise with chronographs, microphones, and a backyard DIY setup that actually worksChallenges in Testing: The impact of changing humidity, shifting light, and what it takes to get results that hold up in the fieldArrow Flight & Noise: How fletching, helical twist, and nock setup all change the sound of your shotBroadhead Comparisons: Two blades versus three, long and pointy versus wide and stubby, vented versus solid, and what that means for noiseReal-World Impacts: Stories of animals jumping the string and how small sound changes can make a big differenceFuture Gear & Testing Plans: What the boys have planned for further tests, plus where you can see the data and use this information for your arrow setup.  Whether you're a gear tinkerer or just want to make your setup as silent as possible, this is one of the most practical deep dives we've ever done.

This week on Driftwood Outdoors, Brandon Butler and Nathan McLeod welcome guest Keith Hannaman to talk all things bear hunting across the country and here in Missouri.What should've been a smooth conversation turned into one of the wildest recordings yet — Brandon's iMac Pro took a nosedive, Missouri weather kept knocking Keith offline, and the whole thing quickly spiraled into a comical disaster.Still, amidst the chaos, the crew managed to cover bear hunting, Keith's days playing football at Penn State, the kickoff of archery season, and of course, the Mystery Bait Bucket.It might be our most technically cursed episode yet, but it's packed with good laughs and a little bit of outdoor wisdom.Special thanks to:Living The Dream Outdoor PropertiesSuperior Foam Insulation LLCDoolittle TrailersScenic Rivers TaxidermyConnect with Driftwood Outdoors:FacebookInstagramYouTubeEmail:info@driftwoodoutdoors.com

Today on the show, Virginia mountain hunter Ralph Barton breaks down his early-season bowhunting strategy in the big woods. Ralph shares how he scouts for productive acorn trees, pinpoints bedding areas, and uses persistence to get deer into bow range in some of the toughest terrain in the eastern US. From reading feed trees to adjusting stands by just a few yards, his approach shows how to consistently find deer in low-density mountain country consistently.

What if the secret to hitting your business goals was the same as hitting a target in the wild with a bow? In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I break down what I call The Five P's of Bow Hunting and Business—a framework that helps you not only hunt smarter but also build and run your business with more alignment, patience, and resilience. These aren't just hunting stories (though I've got a few wild ones). They're lessons you can actually apply to your entrepreneurial journey so you can keep crushing it without burning out.Here are a few key takeaways from this episode:Preparation is everything. Success—whether it's a clean shot or a business launch—starts way before game day. Get your systems, strategy, and mindset locked in.Performance is what counts. When the opportunity shows up, you have to execute. No second-guessing. No freezing. Just full presence and precision.Patience is a practice. Both hunting and business require waiting, adjusting, and playing the long game. Success rarely happens overnight.Perseverance is non-negotiable. Setbacks are part of the process. The entrepreneurs (and hunters) who win are the ones who keep showing up, day after day.Payoff makes it worth it. That big win—whether it's putting organic meat on the table or closing a huge client deal—tastes sweeter because of the grind it took to get there.This conversation is about more than elk hunting. It's about systematically harmonizing your ambition and your well-being so you can truly Happy Hustle a life you're stoked about—full of passion, purpose, and positive impact.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.
