Taylor Philpot of Revive Outdoors sells both brands, hunts out of both, and hears what customers say when gear comes back — so we put Latitude and Arsenal side by side and went through the whole thing. This is a straight comparison: saddles against saddles, sticks against sticks, platforms against platforms. Where each brand wins, where each one falls short, and which system makes more sense depending on how you hunt — all-day rut sits versus run-and-gun public land, comfort versus ounces, and what you're really paying for at the top end. We get into the Arsenal Cloud Freedom & Cloud Flexx vs. the Latitude Method line of saddles and the Arsenal CarbonLite and ICON sticks vs Latitude's Carbon SS sticks.  We also discussed Arsenal's RZR platforms vs. Latitudes Profile and the game changer Arsenal put in place this year with their Glyde system 7 mm Tether and 6 mm Lineman's rope . Toward the end I put Taylor on the spot and ask which products he's most excited about this season and what he'd actually tell a buddy to buy. Whether you're building a saddle setup from scratch or upgrading a few pieces before the season opener, this conversation will save you a lot of money and a lot of guesswork.

Season's closing in fast — September in the South, October pretty much everywhere else — and if your food plots aren't in the ground yet, you're probably wondering if you're already too late.  JJ Dukhart from Illusion Systems sits down to talk through what's still worth planting right now, how micro plots can make a real difference this close to opening day, and what to prioritize if you're behind. We get into soil, timing, access, wind, and the mistakes guys make trying to rush a plan this late in the summer. If you've got a weekend left before season, this one's built to be useful.

Most people think salvation is something you work toward — be good enough, do enough, show up enough, and maybe you'll make the cut. But that's not what the Bible actually teaches. In this episode, I dig into what it really means to be saved: why earning it isn't possible, why grace isn't the same as a free pass, and how accepting Jesus as Savior changes the entire equation. If you've ever laid awake wondering "am I actually saved," you might want to pay attention to this one. We talk through 2 Corinthians 5:21 and what it actually means to be made righteous — not by cleaning yourself up first, but by being covered in Christ's righteousness. We look at Romans 8:1 and why "no condemnation" isn't a technicality, it's the whole game. And we sit in Romans 5:8, where Paul makes the point that God didn't wait for us to get our act together — He moved while we were still in the mess. By the end, the goal isn't to hand you a new checklist. It's to show you that the checklist was never how this worked in the first place.

The shot is often the easy part.... it's everything before that separates tagged bulls from empty tags. Brian Barney of Eastman's Hunting Journals joins me to talk about what it truly takes to master the setup in archery elk hunting — the decisions, the reads, the patience, and the execution that put you in bow range of a big bull when the moment finally comes. Brian briefly walks through his archery gear before the conversation shifts to what really matters: how you set up on elk. From reading terrain and thermals to working a bull, managing the approach, and staying disciplined when everything in you wants to rush — this episode is about the craft of elk hunting at its highest level. In this episode: Brian's archery setup overviewHow to read and approach a bull effectivelyTerrain, thermals, and positioning strategyThe mental game of staying disciplined in the momentWhat separates hunters who kill big bulls consistently from those who don'tBrian Barney is a veteran hunter, writer, and content creator with Eastman's Hunting Journals — one of the most trusted names in western big game hunting.

In this episode, I’m joined by South Carolina Lieutenant Governor and gubernatorial candidate Pamela Evette for a deep dive into the issues that define the Palmetto State. We start where many of us spend our time—in the woods. Pamela shares her passion for the outdoors and we discuss the path forward for South Carolina's Deer Herd. We talk about the management strategies needed to improve the quality of our herd and ensure that the next generation of hunters has a world-class experience right here at home. Beyond the hunt, we get into the "Business of the Woods." Pamela shares her plan to reinvigorate Forestry and Agriculture through proper business investment. We discuss how to protect our timber companies, farmers, and private landowners by ensuring they have the tools to manage their lands profitably and sustainably while balancing new economic opportunities coming into the state. Crucially, we also address the battle in our classrooms. Pamela speaks candidly about her fight for Parental Rights and her record of voting against the indoctrination of our children in the public school system. She explains why faith guides her leadership and why she believes the state's role is to support the family, not replace it. Whether you are a timber professional, farm owner, deer hunter, or a concerned parent, this conversation is a must-watch for anyone who cares about the future of South Carolina. #PamelaEvette #SouthCarolina #DeerManagement #WhitetailHunting #Forestry #TimberIndustry #Agriculture #LandManagement #ParentalRights #EducationReform #SCPolitics #GovernorRace #Conservancy #OutdoorLife #HuntingSC #TimberInvestment #FirstTurkey #FaithAndFamily #ProtectOurKids #SCStatehouse

In September, Justin Hollandworth (@masonsdad1975) thought his season was over. EHD had hit hard, his farm was wiped out, and the plan he’d built all year was gone overnight. What followed was one of the most frustrating—and ultimately rewarding—bowhunting seasons you’ll hear about. Justin breaks down how he pivoted mid-season to find new ground, locate a mature buck, and stay in the game when most hunters would’ve checked out. He had this deer inside 25 yards SIX different times, made a bad hit in October, and even got busted at 5 yards on a late-season move that almost ended it all. This episode isn’t just about killing a big buck—it’s about adapting when everything goes wrong. What’s inside: The EHD Pivot: How to find new places to hunt when your main farm goes quiet.The 6-Encounter Grind: Having a giant inside 25 yards six separate times.The Low Shot: Dealing with a bad hit on October 26th and how he confirmed the buck was still alive.The 5-Yard Disaster: Getting pegged at point-blank range and why he stayed disciplined at full draw.The Survival Guide: Tactical advice for anyone dealing with EHD or a 'blown-up' season.Philosophy: The difference between a rough season that ends well and one that just ends. If you’ve ever had a season feel like it's falling apart, this one will hit home. #bowhunting #whitetail #EHD #deerhunting #bowhunter #bigbuck #huntingstrategy #OhioHunting #archery #huntingpodcast

Pornography is destroying marriages before they even start, and honestly, the church has been way too quiet about it. In this episode, I'm sitting down with Pastor Tad Grandstaff from Hope Church in North Carolina, and we're having the conversation that everybody needs to hear but nobody wants to talk about. We discusshow pornography becomes an addiction. We talk about why it sets these completely unrealistic expectations that silently poison your marriage. And here's the thing that most people don't realize — there's a direct connection between pornography consumption and sex trafficking. It's not some abstract idea. It's real. We also talk about how unchecked lust leads to adultery, broken families, and destroyed lives. But here's the good news — we don't just talk about the problem. We talk about what God actually designed sex to be. And I'm telling you, it's so much better than the counterfeit the world is selling. There is a real evil; and deception & addiction are some of the primary tools it uses to destroy your life. This episode is the most important one I have put out. Listen now. Share it. And let's stop avoiding the conversations that matter. #DoNotGoQuietly #ChristianPodcast #PornographyAddiction #ChristianMarriage #Faith #SexTrafficking #MarriageAdvice #HopeChurch #TadGrandstaff

I’m coming off Winterstrong at Sorinex Outdoors and I am extremely grateful to have Danny Bolton join me. Danny is one of those rare guys who does epic things all the time. When you sit with him, though, the thing that hits you first is not all of his accomplishments but Danny's humility. It is a rare quality in today's society and it really drew me toward having this conversation with him. Our shared experience at Winterstrong immediately pulled Danny Bolton and me into a deeper topic: what it looks like to live by your non‑negotiables when real opportunities show up—especially the brand/work decisions that can either align with your values or quietly sell them off. From there, we talk about the bowhunting life, integrity, and why your choices matter even more when you realize your kids are watching—learning what you truly believe by what you’re willing (or not willing) to compromise. In this episode, we cover: --How Danny evaluates brands and work opportunities without cutting corners Defining your values and sticking to them when it costs you something -The link between bowhunting, discipline, and character -The legacy Danny wants to build—and what he hopes his kids learn by watching his decisionsLeadership as a byproduct of consistency, not talk Rare is the man with this many notches on his bow who deflects attention to the greatness of others. Danny is one of those men.

Denny Thompson has coached some of the most elite quarterbacks in the country — but what separates good from great goes far beyond arm talent. In this episode, we break down how Denny identifies and develops elite QBs, what traits truly matter at the highest levels, and why leadership and character always outlast raw ability. We also dive into the origin of the Built 4 More podcast with Joby Martin — how it started, what it stands for, and why the message resonates far beyond football. Denny shares how his faith in Jesus saved his marriage, reshaped his priorities, and now guides the way he coaches, leads, and lives. This isn’t just a football conversation. It’s about identity, redemption, leadership, and becoming who you were created to be. #DennyThompson#QuarterbackCoach#EliteQuarterbacks#QBTraining#FootballLeadership#Built4More#JobyMartin#FaithAndFootball#ChristianLeadership#MarriageRestoration#FaithBasedPodcast#LeadershipDevelopment#AthleteMindset#HighPerformance#PersonalGrowth#ChristianMen#MensMinistry#SportsAndFaith#PurposeDrivenLife#DoNotGoQuietly#CollegeFootball#CFB#NCAAFootball#CollegeQB#QBDevelopment#QuarterbackTraining#EliteQB#Recruiting#FootballRecruiting#QBRecruiting#HighSchoolFootball#FridayNightLights#FootballNation#CollegeAthlete#StudentAthlete#QB1#QuarterbackLife#PassingGame#SpreadOffense#ProStyleOffense#OffensiveCoordinator#FootballIQ#GameFilm#FilmStudy#PlayCalling#OffensiveScheme#Gridiron#CFBPlayoffs#HeismanWatch#NationalChampionship

In this episode, I sit down with Christian Schauf to talk about something most hunters don’t post about — not filling a tag. Christian opens up about his recent elk hunt, choosing to be transparent on Instagram about coming home empty, and why integrity matters more than highlight reels. We dig into what hunting is really supposed to give us, the difference between authentic pursuit and curated social media success, and why honesty in the process matters — especially in a world where big bulls, private ranches, and selective transparency dominate the feed. This conversation isn’t about judging how someone hunts. It’s about asking ourselves why we hunt, what we’re chasing beyond trophy's, and whether we’re willing to be honest when the outcome doesn’t go our way. Because sometimes the real win isn’t punching a tag — it’s walking away with your integrity intact

In 2024, I sat down with Cliff Gray after my first DIY elk hunt in Colorado. It honest and full of lessons learned the hard way. This episode is the follow-up.In 2025, I returned to Colorado for a guided elk hunt. Different preparation. Different structure. Different outcome. In this conversation, we break down both experiences side by side so you can decide which path makes the most sense for you.We cover:What DIY elk hunts really demand from first-time huntersThe advantages and limitations of guided elk huntsTime, money, learning curve, and expectationsHow to decide on going DIY vs Guided and whyHow goals can change after unsuccessful elk seasonsIf you’re planning your first elk hunt or trying to figure out what comes next after coming home empty-handed, this episode is meant to help you make a clear, honest decision based on reality, not Instagram highlight reels or You Tube Hunt VideosThis is not a debate about which is better. It’s a comparison based on lived experience. Two hunts. Two approaches. One goal: helping you choose the right elk hunt for where you are right now

Jack Schelble is young, relentless, and wired differently. In this episode, we talk bowhunting, discipline, and what it really means to work for something that matters . Jack shares how resourcefulness, patience, and embracing discomfort in the woods have shaped the way he approaches life—and why hunger is the ultimate advantage. This isn’t just a hunting conversation. It’s about earning results, rejecting shortcuts, and showing up with purpose when it matters most. If you’re chasing growth—in the field or in life—this episode is for you. #DoNotGoQuietly #Bowhunting #Bowhunter #HuntingMindset #HuntingLife #WhitetailHunting #ElkHunting #ArcheryLife #PublicLandHunter #DIYHunter#HuntingMotivation #Relentless #EarnedNotGiven#HungerIsTheAdvantage #DisciplineOverComfort#BuiltDifferent #NoShortcuts #HardWorkPays #YoungGun#NextGenerationHunter #Outdoorsman #ModernHunter#HuntToLive #MindsetMatters

This episode is just me being straight about my Illinois rut hunt. I shot a smaller 8-point. He wasn’t a hammer, a magnum, or anything people are gonna freak out about online but the hunt was really an amazing experience after I parsed it out over the last few weeks. I achieved some things that were breakthroughs for me and that was important. The problem lies not in what happened, but how I perceived it as it was happening and even for a while after it happened. I really did struggle with comparing myself to guys on Instagram where it looked like another 170 was dropping every 30 minutes. Not only did it make me second guess myself after I took the shot, but I was initially embarrassed and considered not posting anything about it. That's the shame. I accomplished something really big for my journey and I was embarrassed about sharing it. Social media has really messed with our heads as hunters — making us second-guess hunts we’d normally be pumped about, and compare ourselves to guys hunting managed farms or doing this for a living. Most of us aren’t in those situations, and that pressure gets into your decision-making if you let it. This the best advice I heard this offseason: “You can’t get good at killing big deer if you don't get good at killing deer.” There is a lot that goes into that and I talk about what that means to me. That was in my mind when this buck walked in. I needed the rep. I needed to execute a real shot on a real animal instead of sitting around waiting for a 170 that may never show and then going back into my yard and pounding foam again. This episode is just an honest look at where I’m at as a hunter right now, what I’m working on, and why this buck mattered to me even if he wouldn’t break the internet. #bowhunting#whitetailhunting#deerhunting#archeryhunting#bowhunter#whitetailbowhunter#midwestwhitetails#illinoishunting#illinoisbowhunting#rut2025#whitetailrut#rutreport#deerseason#deerseason2025#publiclandhunting#whitetailbuck#bowhuntinglife#bowhuntingnation#huntingstories#huntingpodcast#bowhuntingpodcast#weekendwarriorhunter#newbowhunter#whitetaillife#passionforbowhunting#archerylife#deerhunter#bowhuntersedge#whitetailszn#rutready#chasingwhitetails#deercamp#huntingmindset#shootyourdeer#huntingpressure#socialmediafreehunting#dontgoquietly#elkbowhunting#learningtheprocess#getrepsnotlikes#keepitrealhunter
