Send us Fan Mail A velvet buck in August sounds like a cheat code until you’re sweating in a tree, watching the wind, and praying for one clean angle with a bow. We sit down with Fred Hill and start where every good deer story starts: access, timing, and the little decisions that pile up fast. Fred walks us through Tennessee’s early velvet deer hunt, baiting corn where it’s legal, patterning deer on a consistent food source, and what it feels like when the moment finally shows up and your heart is racing before the buck is even in sight.  From there, we get real about the stuff hunters don’t always post. Getting “blown at” again and again, deer circling downwind of bait, does blowing at birds for no logical reason, and how pressure seems to change year to year. We also talk travel hunting and tag strategy, how trophy expectations shift when you go north, and why South Arkansas hunting culture still values meat on the table over internet approval. If you’ve ever felt pulled between “shoot” and “let him grow,” you’ll hear yourself in this conversation.  Then we slide into fishing, where the obsession is the same. Fred’s crappie bite stories turn into a full discussion on Garmin LiveScope and forward-facing sonar: how it helps you learn faster, how it can make you stubborn on one brush pile, and why some anglers think tournaments should limit it. We wrap with gear talk, boat setups, and the bigger question underneath all of it: how do we keep the outdoors fun when tech gets louder?

Send us Fan Mail Episode 100 hits right where a lot of us live: that restless feeling when hunting season is close, the weather is wrong, and you still convince yourself it could be legendary if you just go. Easy joins us to talk bow hunting, deer hunting adrenaline, fly fishing strategy, and the real-world lessons you only learn after enough sketchy mornings, missed shots, and hard-earned wins. We get into Easy’s path into the outdoors, starting without the classic hunting upbringing and building his way in through small opportunities, grit, and a serious desire to be “complete” outside. He shares the moment he decides he can’t just work until 65 and hope life starts later, then walks through the practical pivot from HVAC to barber school, business ownership, and building a schedule that supports the life he actually wants. The conversation turns into a full-circle look at foundation: staying safe with saddle hunting systems, learning patience through scouting and shot discipline, and using a barbershop as a community hub that reflects who you are. His shop feels like a hunting lodge, he gives back with free back-to-school haircuts, and he keeps coming back to men’s mental health and the need to take care of yourself while you provide for others. If you’ve ever felt torn between responsibility and the call of the woods or the water, this one is for you.

Send us Fan Mail Mature bucks do not care about your schedule, but they absolutely respond to comfort, calories, and consistency. We sit down with Scott Robnett, the original Nut Grub and Legacy Feeders, to talk about what changes deer movement before the first cold front and what keeps a herd healthier when the woods run out of groceries. Along the way, we swap real hunting-season stories, from brutal early heat to the small decisions that create big daylight opportunities. We get into the HerdMax Plus line and why the “tick problem” is not just gross, it is a herd health issue. Scott explains how stress from ticks and biting insects can shorten feeding time, push deer to constant scratching, and potentially raise disease risk. We also talk through the nutrition side: performance-level minerals and vitamins, rumen support, and why the off-season feeding window from late fall into spring can be the best time to make measurable gains in body condition, recovery after the rut, and overall consistency on camera. Then we go practical with what hunters actually need: powder vs pellets vs blocks, how peanut flavoring changes preference, and why some bucks will touch Nutgrub when they ignore corn. We also break down Legacy Feeders, including timed feeding, solar power, bear-proof features, anchoring systems, and why building one feeder that can handle multiple feed types can save money and headaches long term. If you like deer management, whitetail nutrition, tick control strategies, and gear that is built to last, you will get a lot out of this one.

Send us Fan Mail You can watch deer from a distance with modern gear, or you can choose the hard path and learn what it means to truly hunt them. We’re joined by Jonathan Morlin to talk deer season, traditional bowhunting, and the kind of close-range discipline that puts you inside 20 yards of mature Arkansas bucks. He breaks down how he went from compound bow success to a recurve and longbow, why his “pie plate at 15 yards” practice standard works, and how confidence changes everything when the moment finally happens. We also dig into preseason deer scouting with trail cameras, why “target buck” plans can backfire, and how hunting pressure and local genetics make every “good deer” relative. Jonathan tells the full story behind a giant buck that grossed 186, including the missed opportunities, the adjustments that followed, and the emotional surge that comes with finally sealing the deal. If you care about ethical shot choice, traditional archery realism, and public land problem-solving, there’s a lot here to steal for your own season. Then we get practical: filming your own hunts without blowing the setup, when to move midday, and how to hunt early season food sources like persimmon and honey locust trees. We even go straight at the wind and scent control debate with the kind of honesty that’ll spark arguments in deer camp. Finish it off with out-of-state rut stories from Illinois and Kansas plus a wild bear encounter that proves the woods always have one more surprise.

Send us Fan Mail The internet will argue about anything, but a boat still has to run when the ramp is slick, the water is skinny, and the decoys are heavy. We sit down with Lucas Haygood, Darryl Moore, Tim Scott, and Michael Shocklee and get real about duck hunting season, the grind behind social media, and why “opinions” in the comments rarely match what happens on the water. We talk duck hunting in Arkansas, traveling for hunts, and how tools like OnX, better waders, modern mud motors, and more capable shallow-water boats have changed access and crowding. That leads to the bigger question: what does all this technology mean for waterfowl pressure, duck limits, and the long-term health of the migration? We also touch on Canada hunting pressure and why breeding grounds matter as much as what happens down south. Then we go deep on boat setup: the new HB22 talk, why jack plates exist, what clean water pressure and leverage actually do, and how a rig behaves from zero to wide open throttle. Lucas shares real-world feedback on running a Freedom-style hybrid setup versus a true surface drive, including scouting range, noise, torque, and what holds up when you “run it like you hunt it.” We close with the stuff most brands avoid saying out loud: warranty, honesty, fixing problems fast, and how taking care of customers beats any boat show booth.

Send us Fan Mail Your boat can have plenty of motor and still feel slow, unstable, and hard to drive and the culprit is often the water, not the horsepower. We pull up Tim Scott’s Facebook clips and walk through what we’re seeing behind the transom: how water leaves the hull, when a jack plate starts dragging, and why “clean water to the prop” is the difference between a boat that fights you and a boat that runs like it’s on rails.  We dig into H22 and HB22 jack plate design, transom angle, and trim range, using real examples from duck boats and bass boats. If the bottom of the jack plate interferes with the flow, it creates turbulence, adds air to the water, and spikes prop slip. That leads to over-trimming, RPM loss, and that sketchy feeling when the boat hits chop or starts walking. We also talk through why the TikTok tilt looks dramatic but can be inefficient, loud, and abusive on the hull when you’re forcing lift instead of earning it with balance and clean release.  From there we get practical: setback as leverage, four-stroke weight realities, counterweight limits, and why swapping AGM batteries for lithium batteries can help you shift the balance point and improve holeshot and midrange. We call out common hidden drags like power pole and anchor brackets sitting too low, and we explain what a tight, low rooster tail says about bite and efficiency.  If you want more speed and a safer, easier drive, listen through, then subscribe, share this with a buddy who’s chasing setup issues, and leave us a review.

Send us Fan Mail Sticking your hand into a dark hole underwater and waiting for something to bite is the kind of idea that splits anglers into two camps fast. We’re joined by Andrew Greene from Field & Stream, and he explains why noodling for catfish is his most addictive form of fishing, how he finds the right holes on rivers like the Tennessee, and what that first fish of the year does to your nerves. We get into the details people actually want: gloves vs bare hands, using a stick to confirm a fish is there, boxes versus natural holes, and why the real fear isn’t a snapping turtle but getting stuck and running out of breath. From there, we widen the lens into bass fishing and the mental side of catching fish consistently. Andrew shares what he believes separates professional anglers from the rest of us: time on the water, pattern recognition, and the kind of confidence that keeps you making the right casts even when you’re frustrated. We also talk tackle culture, from bait shop “organized chaos” to rare glide baits that can cost hundreds and the very real moment of getting stopped at TSA because you forgot one was in your bag. Canada trips, muskie obsession, smallmouth fishing up north, and a brutal Mille Lacs rough-water story lead us into the modern debate: LiveScope and forward-facing sonar. We talk pros and cons, why it’s not an instant win button, and how tournament rules can change who benefits most.

Send us Fan Mail The fastest way to misunderstand 24.7 HUNT is to assume it happened overnight. We sit down with the guys to tell the real origin story: growing up hunting in different states, chasing mallards and greenheads beyond what home could offer, and starting to film hunts with whatever camera they could get their hands on. The result is a crew that feels genuine on screen because it was built the same way most good hunting partnerships are built: time, miles, and a lot of early mornings. We get into the gritty details of Arkansas river duck hunting and why “flooded timber” isn’t a cheat code. They talk about fog, no phone service, broken motors, public land pressure, and the trial-and-error grind of building a notebook full of reliable holes. We also unpack the double-edged sword of social media for hunting content creators: how fast growth changes expectations, why comment wars are a trap, and how easy it is to let filming turn a passion into a job. Then we zoom out to what really moves ducks: weather windows, food, water levels, changing farm practices, and the never-ending flooded corn debate. With families and day jobs in the mix, mobility and timing become strategy, not hype. We wrap with what they’re building off the water too: youth outreach, a kids’ fishing derby, and a Georgia sporting clays event with serious prizes.

Send us Fan Mail Sandbars look simple from the outside: boats, heat, and a good time. Then you try to host an event, film content, keep everybody safe, and still enjoy the day. We sit down with Noah Sheffield and Dylan from Rowdy Creek to get the real story behind river life and why their best weekends often come from doing things with purpose. We talk benefit sandbar events and charity poker runs, including what they’ve got lined up at Lake Washington and Tunica, and why fundraising crowds tend to bring less drama and more respect. From there, we bounce into hunting season talk, including why public land turkey hunting across Mississippi and the Southeast will humble you, plus the wild contrast of an Oregon turkey trip where birds respond fast and numbers feel unreal. Then it’s boats and content: how they balance filming with running events, what Crab Island weekends are really like, and the excitement around new rigs and speed goals like “Project 70.” We also get into their newest product drop, Rowdy Creek bean bags for boats, including the messy reality of filling them and the shipping problem that nearly turned into a $600-per-bag nightmare.

Send us Fan Mail You can learn a lot about modern bass fishing by listening to what a touring pro worries about when things are going right. We’ve got Monster Athlete Tyler (TStew) Stewart back with us, fresh off a tournament at Douglas Lake, and we get into the real nuts and bolts of finding offshore schools when everyone has the same electronics, the same maps, and the same ideas. Tyler breaks down how he spends practice idling instead of casting, how he marks dozens of schools on points, ledges, and humps, and why “having fish” doesn’t mean you’ll have a place to fish once 150 boats hit the lake. We also go deep on one of the wildest tools in his box: the Ben Parker mag spoon. It’s huge, it’s heavy, and it still gets bites from fish smaller than the bait when those Tennessee River bass are keyed on big gizzard shad. From there we talk forward-facing sonar and LiveScope without the usual yelling. We’re honest about how much it changes tournament fishing, why cut weights have climbed, and what happens when leagues limit sonar time to a short window. Tyler shares what good and bad timing looks like, how decision-making speed separates anglers, and why it can feel like the fish are getting more educated every season. We even detour into deer hunting plans for Kansas, ground blind realities down south, and how tech in general, from GPS to Facebook “research” to AI videos, can make all of us a little lazier than we want to admit.

Send us Fan Mail Snow in May sounds like a joke until you are 15 hours from home, standing on a Minnesota ramp, watching it actually fall while the wind stacks up three to four foot rollers. We share what that trip taught us about smallmouth fishing and about bass boat setup when the water turns into a constant stress test. The goal was simple: catch giant brown fish and see what the H-22 jack plate does in true big-water conditions where long runs punish a bad balance point.  Then we jump to the opposite extreme, down in the Everglades and Keys zone, chasing invasive exotics like Oscars and cichlids and learning how to catch peacock bass. One tip changed everything for us: you often cannot “see” peacocks until you train your eyes to hunt for the orange fins, and once you do, the whole canal starts to light up. We also talk about bedding fish around rocks and bridges, shallow access with a jack plate, and why that style of fishing feels like a different planet from home water.  From there, it gets technical in the best way. We break down ongoing H-22 testing across different hulls, what counterweights really do, how poles dragging can cost speed, and why most boats look fast but are still running too wet with the water break pushed forward. If you care about bass boat performance, jack plate setup, prop efficiency, rough water ride, and real-world speed with a fishing load, this is the kind of shop-talk that turns into results on the lake.

Send us Fan Mail Mid 70 mph in a 21 foot bass boat with real gear isn’t a fantasy. We’re chasing the cleanest, most efficient setup we can on the iKon LX21 platform, and we’re sharing what’s actually moving the needle: the H22 jack plate, smart setback choices, and counterweight that shifts the balance point where it belongs. When the transom hardware drags water, you feel it everywhere from hole-shot to pad stability, and you’ll never see the top end your motor should deliver.  We walk through our baseline runs on a brand new 2026 iKon LX21, then explain why the “transition” to wide open throttle is where most rigs lose speed. From transom angle and water pressure to battery weight and bow load, we connect the small details that add up. You’ll hear how swapping AGMs to lithium changes the whole attitude of the boat, why adding weight back at the transom can be the missing piece, and how moving the water column back can free the hull and unlock RPM on the same prop.  We also compare lessons learned from the 2023 iKon LX21 build that picked up serious speed with counterweights plus the H22, and we zoom out to what this means for Havocs and other popular rigs. If you’ve spent late nights chasing props, this one might save you time and money by giving you a cleaner process: balance first, then fine tune.

Send us Fan Mail Fewer ducks. Warmer winters. Skinnier water. We brought in Josh Bradley of SeeLite to connect the dots from rig choices to resource management—and to show how small details on your motor and big decisions on the landscape shape your season. First, we get tactical. Josh breaks down his Havoc setup, why a nine and a half gallon bow tank keeps the hull flat in shallow runs, and how Mud Buddy’s 5400 won him over after years with GatorTail. We compare trim geometry that actually lifts a skeg above the transom, the new ergonomic tiller with momentary forward for safer micro-moves around spreads, and a quiet exhaust that keeps mid-range punch without the roar. Stainless skegs, belt support, gearing options, and maintenance rituals round out a no-hype guide to making a surface drive work in real flooded timber, sand, and river systems. Then we zoom out to the tough stuff. Duck numbers hinge on weather up north, water and invertebrates down south, and how we time floods across sanctuaries and WMAs. We talk transparency with Arkansas Game and Fish: publish the data, align boards and gates with clear plans, and spread hunters through access models that increase the odds of a good hunt. The timber debate gets honest—when to cut, how long recovery takes, and why roots still breathe in winter. Food becomes the pivot point: moist-soil units, rice, and the corn question. If private and northern practices hold birds, can public land add smart, marked food zones and adjacent hunting to keep Arkansas’ flooded timber relevant without bending the rules? What emerges is a blueprint: better ergonomics and torque on the stern, predictable water and targeted food on the landscape, and open data that lets the public see progress. It’s not about inside baseball or pointing fingers—it’s about making choices that bring birds back to the woods and keep new hunters coming back next year. If this conversation helps you rethink your rig or your plan, tap follow, share it with a hunting partner, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway. Your feedback helps push the conversation—and the conservation—forward.

Send us Fan Mail Most boats don’t struggle because the driver lacks courage; they struggle because the jack plate is fighting pressurized water. We pull back the curtain on the NEW H22 jack plate and its 22-degree underside that lets spray clear the plate, cuts drag, and frees the prop to do real work. From the first throttle hit to big-end speed, we explain how a small change under the transom fixes the noisy problems—rooster tails, bow lag, and over-trim—that owners spend months trying to tune away. We break down the tradeoffs that matter: setback versus leverage, plate mass versus hole shot, and why built-in height beats chasing engine bolt holes. You’ll hear how we tested across aluminum and fiberglass hulls, what “running on the hull” actually means, and why efficiency improves when the boat lifts on its deadrise instead of tilting into dirty water. We also get practical about rigs that carry real gear: trolling motors, power poles, big graphs, and the switch from AGM to lithium. The H22 and the HB22 breakaway use optimized weight and optional counterweights so you can fine-tune balance for fishing weekends, duck seasons, or sandbar cruises without re-rigging your life. If you’ve thrown wedges and props at a stubborn setup, this conversation shows a cleaner path: fix the water, place the weight, and let the hull breathe. We talk battery placement, a new belly tank that frees stern space, and how moving a few pounds at the transom can out-muscle 80 pounds up front. The payoff is speed you can feel, steering that calms down, and stability that holds when the water turns to glass or chop.
