What makes a hunter a hunter? In this episode, we break down what it truly means to be a hunter—beyond the moment of the harvest.

Whether you’re a seasoned outdoorsman or new to hunting, this conversation dives into the heart of why we do it and what keeps us coming back season after season.

What does a truly successful Florida turkey season sound like from the guide’s seat? In this episode, we sit down with Hunter from Florida Boy Outfitters to relive a standout season through the stories that made it unforgettable. From close calls at first light to multiple birds hitting the ground, Hunter walks us through the highs, the challenges, and the moments that define a season in the Florida turkey woods. Instead of breaking down tactics, this conversation dives into the real, unfiltered experiences behind the hunts—how each setup unfolded, the birds that wouldn’t cooperate, and the ones that did in dramatic fashion. It’s a long-form, story-driven look at a season where things came together in a big way. If you appreciate the storytelling side of hunting and want to hear what a hot streak sounds like from the guide’s point of view, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.

In this episode, we sit down with the mind behind three of the newest tools in modern deer hunting—Southern Whitetail, Hunt IQ, and Bloodhound. We dive into how these apps are changing the game for whitetail hunters, from smarter stand placement and property analysis to advanced tracking and recovery strategies. Whether you’re chasing mature bucks in the Southeast or just looking to gain an edge this season, this conversation breaks down how technology is reshaping the way we hunt. We also get into real-world tactics, app features you may not be using, and how to maximize your success both before and after the shot. If you’re serious about whitetail hunting, land management, and recovering more deer, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

I got my inspiration from Easter this weekend and the resurrection of Jesus. In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of Lazarus species—animals once believed to be extinct, only to be rediscovered years or even centuries later. From deep ocean mysteries to remote jungle survivors, we explore what qualifies a species as “Lazarus,” highlight some of the most incredible rediscoveries, and discuss the so-called extinct animals that some believe may still be out there. If you’re interested in wildlife, extinction, and the unknown corners of our planet, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

If you’re a hunter, conservationist, or just someone who loves the outdoors, you’ve probably heard about the incredible comeback of the whitetail deer—but do you really know how close we came to losing them? In the early 1900s, white-tailed deer populations had crashed to an estimated 300,000 animals nationwide due to unregulated hunting and habitat loss. Fast forward to today, and that number has rebounded to over 30 million deer across North America—one of the greatest wildlife conservation success stories ever recorded. But the story doesn’t stop there. Are whitetail populations still growing, or are we starting to see regional declines? And how do different subspecies—from the Coues deer in the Southwest to the Osceola deer in Florida—fit into the bigger picture? In this episode, we break down the rise, fall, and modern state of the whitetail deer, explore the different subspecies across the continent, and talk about what it all means for hunters and conservation moving forward. This is the story of the American whitetail—then, now, and what comes next.

This week we’re talking about one of the most impactful conservation groups in the turkey woods—Turkeys For Tomorrow. Founded by a group of passionate hunters and biologists, this organization is dedicated to ensuring the future of wild turkeys across North America. While turkey numbers have rebounded since their historic lows in the early 1900s, many regions are now seeing concerning declines—and that’s where Turkeys For Tomorrow steps in. From funding cutting-edge research to improving habitat and supporting state agencies, they’re working to answer the big question: what’s really going on with our turkeys?

In the not so distant past hearing a gobble in the spring wasn’t really all that common. Thanks to conservation efforts we brought the wild turkey back from the brink and chasing a grand slam for all 5 subspecies is a worthy goal. This week we’re talking all about the fall and subsequent rise of North America’s largest game bird the Wild Turkey.

If you’ve been around here for awhile you know we love our local Ducks Unlimited chapter. The guys up there in with the Villages Chapter are hard at work raising funds to put back into DU to benefit ducks for the future of duck hunting. They host an awesome Youth hunt every season that has a huge turnout and lots of great prizes for the kids and every single kid walks away with some decoys and other awesome stuff. This time of year though, it’s time for the banquet. Make sure you get tickets and I’ll see you there on May 16th for an evening full of prizes, drinks and great food. This week I’m joined by none other than the Villages Chapter President Jonathan Kimbrel to talk all about our local DU chapter and the upcoming banquet.

Has hunting changed? I remember when an 8 point was an 8 point and inches didn’t matter so much. Not to say that valuing bigger deer is a bad thing. Although I do often wonder,if in search of internet glory and our own individual chance in the spotlight if we haven’t lost touch with what it really means to be a hunter. You know what I mean? What are we teaching the next generation of hunters to value?

Deer camp is a place best shared with friends. They tend to make the heavy drags seem shorter, the tough tracks a little easier and they give you plenty of hell for missing. The group we’ve got in the studio this week has set the tone last year for what one hell of deer season looks like. If you hunted a WMA and wondered where the deer went you were probably a week behind them. HangFree- https://hangfree.co/ Use code UPO10 at checkout for 10% off your next order!

As a hunter this question has probably crossed your mind at one point or another. Maybe in the quiet moments in the stand, maybe while watching great movies like Jeremiah Johnson on the couch. You've likely at one point or another wondered Could I survive the frontier during the mountain man era? Or would dysentery get you like it did on the Oregon trail in 1995?

Trapping might seem like a lost art and to many it is. As far as most of us are concerned trapping died out with the fur market but it might be making a comeback with a new goal in mind, predator management. The height of the fur trade coincided with some of the best bird hunting we’ve seen in decades and that was in part due to the fact that small predators like racoons were being trapped heavily for their fur and that kept them out of the nest. In today's modern hunting era the goal has shifted a bit and the quarry remains the same. HangFree- https://hangfree.co/ Use code UPO10 at checkout for 10% off your next order!

Do all these new fangled products with their crazy claims of making you Invisible to game animals actually live up to their claims? Likely not, and I can promise you they don’t hold a candle to good ole fashioned woodsman-ship. I’m not saying that there are some legitimate quality tools you can and should be adding to your bag this fall but sorting through the fluff to get to the good stuff can be tricky. So in this episode we’ll cover the questions you should be asking yourself before you go and purchase the newest thing to hit the market.
