On this episode, we're contrasting two eras of turkey hunting with Will Primos and Dr. Mike Chamberlain of the University of Georgia. Turkey populations peaked in modern times in the late 1990s, and with it, the innovation of call makers and outdoor media groups skyrocketed, forging the turkey hunting culture of the nation. Mr. Will Primos stood on the forefront of that innovation and he taught us how to call and hunt. However, recent decades have yielded dramatically decreasing turkey populations in much of the Southeastern United States. Dr. Chamberlain will detail the five biggest culprits of the decline and make some projections for the future.

Will Primos is one of the pioneers in the game call and video production business. His Truth series of hunting videos are what educated and entertained many of us hunters from our earliest days in the woods. There's no better way to kick things off with the Hunting Roots podcast than to visit with the man that helped fuel the fire for countless hunters across the country. In this episode, Will shares the story of his first deer kill as well as the early days of Primos Hunting. He  talks about how he handled a heckler at a seminar who questioned how a "southern boy" could teach western hunters about elk hunting. Join us for a conversation with a living legend. 

The hunting industry would not be here today without people like Ronnie "Cuz" Strickland. As Mossy Oak's Vice President, Cuz is a true Giant that helped create what we all now know as the hunting industry. Starting out growing up in the outdoors fishing and hunting with his family, Cuz took a liking to writing and sales in sporting goods stores. His passion of hunting really paved his way to being so successful in the industry. Working for the likes of Will Primos and Toxey Haas, while becoming a self taught field producer on some of the most important hunting shows ever recorded was just the start to Cuz's incredible career that has spanned several decades and he'd probably tell you he's busier now than ever! This episode is full of some great stories about what it was like getting some of these shows made, when there was really nothing to compare it to. Cuz is truly a living legend and I think the best is yet to come! Be sure to follow Cuz on all his social media platforms: Cuz Strickland | Facebook Cuz Strickland

This week it's a great visit with my good friend, Lake Pickle of Primos Hunting. Lake is living his life's dream on the staff of Primos where he films and helps produce all the media content for the legendary Primos Hunting team.

Twelve years to the day, Lake filmed Kevin's son taking his first turkey.  We also talk about the hunting industry and what it's been like to shoot for Will Primos and the legendary content they've produced for years. 

Will Primos is the founder and CEO of Primos Hunting. Primos Hunting manufactures calls for elk, deer, turkey, predator, and waterfowl as as blinds, shooting assessors, game cameras, attractants and supplements. They also produce the popular video series PRIMOS TRUTH ABOUT HUNTING.

Jordan Blissett of Primos Hunting joins Shed and I in today's episode and discusses his ascension into the hunting industry, his current role and responsibilities, as well as the first time he videoed for Will Primos.  He also discusses his recent New Mexico Elk hunt and "The Son of Rocker", which was a large buck he took last year at Cottonmouth.

Heard of the Linguist elk hunting film? How about Elk Fever III? Today I got to sit down with the creator of those films (and many others) Ben Potter. Ben talks about how Cana Outdoors began. We also hear some of his great elk hunting stories after his season of filming Corey Jacobson, Larry D Jones, Will Primos, Wayne Carlton, and others. He's had some pretty incredible encounters and was able to take his first bulls last year.Check out The Linguists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBhSYD6GfsMCheck out Elk Fever III: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Tp9SP3lGjQ

Brad has been a member of the Primos team since the early days, and is easily one of the most respected and recognized faces throughout the hunting industry. So it only made sense to us that we sit down with Brad and get him to tell his story, and we were not disappointed. From first bow hunting experiences, meeting Will Primos in an archery shop, hunting rats in his attic, to finally landing a job on the Primos video team, this is an episode that is definitely worth a listen! 

In this edition of The End Of The Line Podcast, I look back at some of the unforgettable moments on the podcast tthat made you step back and go wow. That was pretty awesome. Here are a few of those with Will Primos, Spencer Halford, Jim Ronquest, Brooks Tinsley, and Justin Martin.

My guest today is Robbie Kroger. Robbie is originally from South Africa but moved to the United States and became a respected biologist working extensively in the Gulf Coast region of Mississippi and Louisiana. In his 40’s, Robbie discovered a letter written to him by his grandfather explaining a high South African hunting heritage that Robbie never knew he had. This letter sparked a deep interest of hunting heritage, communities and history. The more the fire burned inside of Robbie, the more he sought to answer the biggest question asked from the non-hunting community… “Why”. To help provide insight not seen in most network programming or on social media pages, Robbie formed a short film series titled “Blood Origins”. Each episode showcases an individual sharing their story and their “why”. Guests like Jim Shockey, Will Primos and Cuz Strickland have powerful stories to share, but the series also features unknown hunters whose passion burns just fierce and stories are just as impactful. I sat down with Robbie in his man cave surrounded by water buffalo, leopards and a 20 foot African Rock Python… all pointing back to his South African hunting heritage that is definitely In The Blood. www.bloodorigins.com
