Will Brantley sits down with Mark Hayes, design engineering manager at Mathews Archery, to talk about the new-for-2023 Phase 4. The flagship compound is a continuation of the CrossCentric Cam series, but with some major differences. Hayes says it's the quietest bow Mathews has ever built. 

Will Brantley talks with Corrine Bundy, VP of Marketing for Elite Archery, about Wisconsin bowhunting strategies and tactics, and then they take a deep dive into the all-new Omnia, Elite's just-released flagship compound for 2023.

Season 3 of Realtree's Outpost debuts with Will Brantley and Mike Hanback talking about old-school scouting tactics like long-range glassing, monster bucks hidden in garages for decades, and why Indiana has become the nation's best-kept secret for giant whitetails. 

Host Will Brantley sits down with Kentucky turkey hunter Jack Canady, who's been hunting Kentucky turkeys since the '60s. During the 2022 season, Canady was set up on a group of longbeards when he was attacked by a bobcat. Canady's neck was broken during the attack, and he recounts the tale first-hand. 

Brantley sits down with Missouri hunter and long-time Realtree Pro-staffer Brad Harris, who gets credit for inventing the original grunt call. Harris is an expert game caller with a lifetime of hunting experience, so in addition to telling the grunt call story, he shares some strategies for aggressive deer calling. 

Will Brantley talks sub-gauge turkey guns with CVA's Rick Taylor. The CVA Scout is a single-shot .410 with a Realtree Timber stock and Jeb's choke tube, and it's already proving itself in the turkey woods. Brantley and Taylor talk loads, patterning, accessories, effective range, and more. 

Whitetails are North America's most accessible big-game species. Outdoor writers Will Brantley and Jace Bauserman join Editor Christian Berg to discuss their favorite DIY deer destinations across America, where blue-collar bowhunters can pursue big bucks for nothing more than the cost of a hunting license and the gas to get there.

Will Brantley and Miles Fedinec recap a recent turkey trip to Texas's North Zone, where the weather was terrible. Following a massive wildfire a few weeks prior, the guys were faced with heavy fog followed by 90-degree heat and gale-force winds. Through all of it, though, the turkeys were going crazy, and some key lessons were learned about hunting Rio Grande gobblers in particular.

This week, we catch up with Northeast Region Rut Reporter Tim Kent, who shot a great New York buck in late November. Although the rut action is beginning to wane in most of the country, there's still some good hunting ahead. Plus, Kent and Will Brantley discuss why some properties hunt better during the rut than others, and why a few days each season seem to be magical all over the country. 

Will Brantley joins Browning's Rafe Nielsen at the end of a late-November hunt in western Nebraska. Rafe was after a whitetail, Brantley was after a mule deer, and both found success on big bucks. They talk about rut behavior differences in the two species, and then take a deep dive look at the rifles they were shooting, along with the all-new 6.8 Western cartridge.  

This week we share an award-winning edition of America Outdoors Radio featuring four interviews that each won first place Excellence in Craft awards from the Outdoor Writers Association of America this year.   We'll start off chatting with Joey Puettman, the founder of Joey's Fly Fishing Foundation that introduces kids to fly fishing in Wyoming.  Will Brantley, writing for Field and Stream, has some great advice on tag team hunting for turkeys and Walker Smith with Wired2Fish.com helps you overcome Fall bass fishing misconceptions.   Finally, outdoors media personality Steve Rogers has some great advice about buying a bass boat!  http://www.americaoutdoorsradio.com

Then we circle up with Midwest reporter Josh Honeycutt, who's on his way to his Ohio hunting lease. Honeycutt fills us in on the latest from the region, and also shares the story of his big Kentucky buck from last weekend. 

Every bowhunter has their preferred broadhead. Taking that into account, don't switch if you're getting great results with your current set up. However, if you've been left scratching your head or are interested in longtime outdoor writer Will Brantley's 2 year study on the effectiveness of fixed blades vs mechanical broadheads then you'll want to [...]

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Will Brantley, Professor of English at Middle Tennessee State University.

In "Feminine Sense," Dr. Brantley looks at the autobiographic works of Lillian Smith, Zora Neal Hurston, Eudora Welty, Ellen Glasgow, Lillian Hellman, and Katherine Ann Porter. As well, he has written on the FBI's 134-page file that they kept on Lillian Smith and her activities. Today, we will speak with him about that file and its importance in our understanding of Smith's life and work.

Will Brantley and David Blanton talk target panic. Blanton is a 40-year veteran bowhunter, and has always been a self-professed "puncher." But bad habits have been creeping into his shooting the last few years, and this summer Blanton has committed to fixing them by learning to shoot a hinge release. Hear how that's working out, and how he'll transition back to a thumb-break release for hunting this fall.

Will Brantley and Mike Hanback talk taxidermy, and talk through the reasons why it can take so long to get a shoulder mount back from the shop. But how long is too long? Should you wait a year? Two years? 

Don’t field-dress that deer near your stand, or you’ll ruin it for the rest of the season! That’s conventional wisdom with the time-honored stamp of approval from the old guys in deer camp. But does that mean it’s true? Do gut piles really spook deer?  Mike Hanback and Will Brantley discuss the pros and cons of gutting your deer where it falls.

Tragedy struck on Reelfoot Lake, and is a reminder of the underlying problems regarding duck hunting on public land. Will Brantley of Field & Stream details the tragic events that unfolded and the cutthroat competitiveness that has become the norm at public hunting spots that led to the alleged murder of two and the death of a third.

We also talk to experienced hunters about how weather affects their hunting strategies and how this information will affect them in the future.  Part one begins with Spencer Neuharth of Rut Fresh and the Wired to Hunt Rut Radio. Next up is our own Adam Crews with how weather affects his hunting. He is followed by Will Brantley, the hunting editor at Field and Stream and Outdoor Life and Jeff Gienke of the Hunting Beast. Then we look at GPS tracking studies with Dr. Bronson Strickland of the MSU Deer Lab and Dr. Stephen Webb of the Noble Institute. Their observations may totally change when and where you hunt. Part 2 will continue the series with Dr Duane Diefenbach of the Penn State Deer Forest Study Group and Lindsay Thomas Jr., editor of Quality Whitetails magazine and communications director at the QDMA.  For a different perspective we talk to the Mad Scientist of deer hunting, Mark Drury, about how weather impacts his hunting strategies.
