This is a fun one! We asked you guys to send in questions on our social media accounts, and y'all delivered! In this episode, we are running through a long list of listener questions. Many of the questions have to do with early-season hunting and scrapes, while others focus on terrain features and more! In a food-rich environment, how do you narrow down the feed trees to hunt? How do you find bucks in October when they aren't laying down much sign? How do you find deer sign in Piney Woods with little to no terrain features? Underrated tips for hunting public ground? Hunting funnels vs. hunting sign in the mountains — pros and cons? Early season — would you prioritize bedding areas, feed trees, or trails between the two? August 15th and it's hot — kudzu patch in a creek bottom or just off an ag field's edge? Found a buck coming to ag. Move in and scout the bedding or set up on the edge of the ag in September? Where do y'all usually find early season scrapes in pine/SMZ terrain for buck inventory? Do y'all have any examples of Piney Woods rut funnels? Have you seen more success scouting into an area and setting up on best sign, or scouting and then coming back later? What are the top three browse species deer prefer in the South? I'm a Florida hunter. I can find bucks but have trouble killing them with 4–6 day quota hunts. Any tips? What are some good terrain features or areas to find community scrapes in steep hill country? Where do you make mock scrapes and how do you make them? Straight wall cartridge or muzzleloader during alternate gun season? If straight wall, what is preferred? What's the dream hunt for you guys? If you could only go on one more hunt, what would the hunt be and where? What are y'all's rifle setups? How do you deal with the difficulty of leaving your kids/family to go on a hunting trip?

Send us a textAaron Jennings transports us to the rugged landscapes of New Zealand's North Island, where hunting isn't just a recreational pursuit but a way of life woven into the cultural fabric of communities. From his earliest memories of sitting in the truck with his father and grandfather (koro) to his present-day adventures pursuing wild boars through blackberry-choked gullies, Aaron shares stories that reveal the unique hunting traditions of his homeland.Perhaps most compelling is Aaron's description of hunting's role in community support. He and his brother harvested approximately 250 deer in a single year, distributing the meat to families facing food insecurity. This practice transforms hunting from recreation into service, embodying the Māori saying "kai moti te pu" (food for the table) that guides their ethical approach.Want to see more of Aaron's hunting adventures?

In this episode of The Resilient Show, Chad Robichaux is joined by clinical health psychologist and freediving instructor, Dr. Lindsay Bira.Filmed on North Bimini Island, their conversation unpacks how chronic stress and untreated PTSD inflame the body and accelerate heart disease, and why evidence-based exposure therapy, paired with slow-breath drills and the mammalian dive reflex, can reverse the damage. Chad and Dr. Bira plan dynamic- and static-apnea challenges that turn freediving into a “bench-press for the frontal lobe,” teach viewers how interoceptive breath-holds stop panic in its tracks, and explore faith, purpose, and community as force-multipliers for long-term healing and elite performance underwater and on land.Dr. Lindsay Bira, PhD is a Harvard-trained clinical health psychologist, trauma researcher, and PADI freediving instructor. Published in Nature and featured by NPR, Science, and Forbes, she previously served active-duty military and veterans for the U.S. Department of Defense.

Send us a textMeet Jonathan Bottoms, the self-proclaimed "worst hunter in Southeast Texas," whose three-year journey from complete novice to dedicated sportsman will leave you both entertained and inspired. Jonathan's path began not through family tradition but with a spontaneous invitation to hunt in Mexico armed with nothing but a bow retrieved from beneath someone's porch. That first successful harvest created dangerously unrealistic expectations, setting the stage for the wild adventures that followed.Leaving behind Colorado's mountains for Texas swamplands, Jonathan found himself navigating challenges no YouTube hunting tutorial could prepare him for. Chest-deep water, water moccasins, alligators, and terrain unlike anything in popular hunting media required him to develop a completely different approach. His stories range from heart-stopping (stepping on two venomous snakes back-to-back) to hilarious (pursuing a modest buck he named Dave while repeatedly calling in his "buddy" Larry, a spike with Napoleon syndrome).What truly sets Jonathan's approach apart is his unwavering persistence. Despite an exploding bow at the moment of truth, riding a tree through a hurricane, and confronting poachers on public land, he maintained his enthusiasm, hunting every possible morning and evening throughout the season. This dedication eventually led to his proudest achievement – harvesting a buck that represented not impressive measurements, but the culmination of countless hours learning the woods.For new hunters feeling overwhelmed, Jonathan's message resonates deeply: "Just keep doing it. I might fail, but I learn and do it different next time. What matters is getting out there... if you're lucky, you get something. If not, you still get to spend your day in the woods." This authentic perspective reminds us that hunting's true value lies not in the harvest but in the journey itself.https://www.instagram.com/jonathan_bottoms/https://www.facebook.com/jbotttoms/https://www.christianfellowship.church/

In this episode of The Resilient Show, Chad Robichaux is joined by former Delta Force Operator & CEO of Blu Bearing Solutions, Kyle Morgan. Kyle recounts the fateful morning of the 2015 Radisson Blu hotel siege in Bamako, Mali, explaining how an impromptu team cleared seven floors under sustained fire to free hostages and prevent further bloodshed. He then pulls back the curtain on the hidden cost of Special Operations. The multiple concussions, spiraling PTSD, and a near-fatal overdose that shattered his world. The conversation moves from the brink of divorce and rock-bottom addiction to the faith-driven sobriety that rebuilt his family, the founding of Blu Bearing Solutions to train protectors with a servant's heart, and the daily disciplines that keep him grounded in purpose today.Kyle Morgan served nearly two decades in U.S. Army Special Operations, rising from Green Beret to a Tier-One special-mission unit operator with deployments across the Middle East and Africa. Decorated for valor during the Radisson Blu rescue, he now leads Blu Bearing Solutions and speaks nationally on resilience and faith.Learn more about Kyle & Blu Bearing Solutions: https://blubearing.com/Follow Kyle: https://www.instagram.com/kylemorganactual/RESILIENT:Live Resilient Store: https://theresilientshow.com/live-resilient-storeJoin Our Patreon: https://patreon.com/theresilientshowFollow Us On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/resilientshowFollow Us On Twitter:⁠ https://twitter.com/resilientshowFollow Us On TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@resilientshowFollow Chad:⁠https://www.instagram.com/chadrobo_official⁠https://www.x.com/chadroboSPONSORS:Smith & Wesson: ⁠https://www.smith-wesson.com/⁠Vortex Optics:https://vortexoptics.comGatorz Eyewear: ⁠https://www.gatorz.com/⁠Allied Wealth:https://alliedwealth.comBioPro+: ⁠https://www.bioproteintech.com/⁠BioXCellerator:https://www.bioxcellerator.comThe Holy Waters:https://theholywaters.comGet The Resilient Show x Uncharted Supply Co Bag: https://liveresilient.com/shopTRS is a proud supporter of military & first responder communities in partnership with Mighty Oaks Foundation.

In this episode, we sit down with Brandon Gowan, a longtime listener turned lethal public land deer hunter. Over the last four years, Brandon has built an incredibly repeatable system for killing mature bucks on high-pressure land — and he shares it all in this detail-packed conversation. Brandon breaks down how a Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement from his job at Toyota transformed the way he hunts. He shares how asking “why” has helped him pattern bucks, refine his trail camera strategies, and create a career-hunting balance that gives him a major edge. We also dig into: How Brandon uses trail camera data patterns, not guesses, to pick kill dates Why every buck he's killed on public was already on camera How “asking why until there's no more why” leads to better results in the woods His go-to terrain features — and the exact setup that keeps producing big bucks The power of annual patterns and how he uses a simple calendar to predict buck movement The importance of finding big tracks, not just rubs and scrapes Why terrain funnels produce more consistent daylight buck activity than sign Mentorship lessons from his old-school, big buck–killing father Whether you're still figuring out public land or looking to take your hunting to the next level, Brandon's story offers a real-world blueprint for doing more with less — and finding repeatable success in pressured places.
