In this episode, Brian sits down with Andy, a Virginia native whose life has been shaped by a series of unsettling and deeply personal encounters that began when he was just four years old. Andy takes listeners back to his earliest memories of glowing red eyes peering into the darkness outside his rural home, an experience that would mark the beginning of a lifelong connection to the unknown.As the years unfold, he recounts increasingly intense moments in the woods, from unexplained rock-throwing incidents and eerie, unidentifiable vocalizations while hunting, to overwhelming odors and strange activity that seemed to track him through the mountains of Virginia.Andy's account is rich with detail and reflection, blending fear, curiosity, and a persistent search for understanding. He opens up about late-night investigations, moments of doubt, and the difficulty of reconciling these experiences with a world that often dismisses them outright.The conversation also explores the weight of skepticism, the challenge of putting language to something so elusive, and how these encounters have quietly but profoundly influenced the course of his life.

This episode feels like one of those late-season sits where you're not just watching the woods—you're taking inventory of yourself. John and I talk about rolling into 2026, how fast time keeps moving, and what it means to stay sharp when life, injuries, and expectations start stacking up. We get into the reality of hunting seasons that don't always go as planned, a knee injury that forced John to slow down and rethink how he moves, and how recovery, discipline, and mental reps matter just as much as physical ones. We also dig into the pressure that comes with the outdoor industry, walking away from familiar paths, and having the guts to choose work that actually lines up with who you are. This one's about paying attention—to your body, your goals, and the direction you're headed—before the next season ever starts. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 474 The turn of a new year often feels familiar, forcing honest reflection on where growth actually happened. Hunting seasons—and bodies—don't follow plans, making adaptability and patience essential. Injuries and setbacks can become teachers when mindfulness and recovery take priority. Mental reps, scouting, and preparation matter just as much as physical execution. Managing expectations is key to keeping hunting fun instead of turning it into pressure. Stepping away—whether from a season, a sport, or an industry—can restore clarity and passion. Real fulfillment comes from doing work and pursuits you'd still choose without an audience.

Falconers and their opinions... You all have heard that sentiment mentioned many times now on the podcast, and for those of you who have been active falconers longer than five seconds, you know this sentiment all too well! There are some opinions that are more rooted in fact and that are widely agreed upon, but others are up for much more debate. There are always going to be disagreements within the falconry community, as there are in any life endeavor. I have no doubt there will be many who both agree and disagree with some of the thoughts and opinions shared by the guest of this episode, but nevertheless, I appreciate Karl taking the time to come on and spend a couple of hours sharing some pretty crazy hunting stories, some of his changes in his own opinions over the years, and some of his opinions on what he thinks we could or should be doing differently with falconry here in the United States.

It was time to take a quick break from the talk of chasing the whitetail deer and instead pig hunting. If you love bowhunting but haven't had a chance to chase pigs with the stick, we recommend you make it a priority to change that! After having mark on to talk turkeys this past spring, we knew we had to have him back on to discuss his favorite pastime. We hope you enjoy this one as much as Matt T enjoyed recording it with Mark!
On this episode we are once again joined by Nutrien's Weather Wizard, Eric Snodgrass. We ask a lot of questions and Eric masterfully explains high/low pressure, barometric pressure, dew points, early morning and late afternoon thermals and more.

Habitat Podcast #365 - In today's episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with our good friends Adam Miller and Nate Rozeveld! We discuss: Private land deer move differently than pressured public land deer Equipment upgrades can unlock major habitat improvements Small plots can be movement tools, not just feeding destinations Doe harvest is a critical but often underused management lever Seeing deer doesn't always mean appreciating the hunt Out-of-state habitat diversity changes deer movement drastically Transitions matter more than acreage size Boots-on-the-ground scouting still beats digital maps alone Late-season doe harvest can improve herd health Hunting mindset matters as much as strategy And So Much More!

On Hunt the World's 300th episode, the guys sit down with Bill Eastman. He drew his Bighorn sheep tag in Custer state park, and he has a story for us. He talks about hunting with his family and friends, getting eyes on a sheep, and ultimately shooting one. Merry Christmas from the Rolling Bones family, and happy new year!
This is the kind of story bowhunters dream about—but rarely get to finish. For five years, this Illinois whitetail was more than just a deer on camera. From his first appearance as a young buck in 2021, to finding his sheds year after year, to countless close encounters and near misses, “Muley” became a part of the journey. Season after season, he slipped through the cracks. Gun seasons. Nighttime movement. Swirling winds. Missed opportunities. But late-season patterns, patience, and years of history finally brought everything together. This is the full story—trail camera history, shed hunts, late-season strategy, heartbreak, redemption, and the moment every bowhunter works toward but never takes for granted. Not every long-term buck story ends this way. This one did. Bowhunt or Die.
Introduced in 1895 for the Winchester 1894, the .25-35 Winchester was fast for its time, flat shooting, and optimized for the lever gun. This cartridge had and still has a lot to offer. Saddle up for an informative discussion focused on this classic cartridge.As always, we want to hear your feedback!

On this episode of Truth From The Stand, Aaron Hepler and I catch up after a long season and miles on the boots, talking about how seasons evolve and expectations need to with them. We get into adapting under pressure, trusting your gut when plans fall apart, and why dogs and bird hunts can be the best reset a big-game hunter can get. It's a conversation about balancing technology with instinct, passing on what matters to new hunters, and learning when to let go of old goals so the hunt stays honest and fun. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 473 Hunting pressure forces flexibility—new spots and fresh thinking often pay off. Technology can help, but instinct and woodsmanship still drive success. Hunting is about the journey, lessons learned, and time spent outdoors—not just the kill. Hunting with dogs and bird hunting offer a mental reset from big-game pressure. Mentoring new hunters strengthens the community and reshapes perspective. Letting go of rigid expectations makes hunting more rewarding and sustainable.

On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce flies solo to recap a snowy 5-day public land hunt chasing late-season bucks! If you listened to last year's "What I Learned Hunting A Public Land Giant", consider this the sequel. Pierce recaps the lessons learned from still hunting a new piece of public land, and how he adapted a minimalist approach to simply hunting where the deer sign told him, and where the terrain allowed him. Be prepared to hear about a couple of encounters with huge bucks and what they did to stay alive near the end of a long hunting season, and hear what was going through Pierce's mind as he encountered everything on this long, winter hunt. Thank you all for making 2025 such a phenomenal year! This was far and away the best year yet, and that's all thanks to those of you who tune in every week. Have a happy new year and we'll talk to you all in 2026!
