Some of the most meaningful hunting stories aren’t about the animals harvested, but the people beside us. Some conversations go deeper than hunting. In this special meeting between father and son, Sam Soholt sits down with his dad, Jerry, to revisit a lifetime of memories built in deer camps, duck blinds, and the wild places that shaped their family. It’s one of the most poignant conversations on Legends of the Wild, a chance to hear the stories behind a father’s hunting life and the traditions he passed down to his son. Jerry remembers Thanksgiving mornings in northern Wisconsin, freezing deer camps, early bowhunting lessons, and a staggering North Dakota whitetail that reportedly weighed more than 400 pounds on the hoof. He tells stories of Montana bucks earned through hard work and persistence, the mishaps that became family lore, and the waterfowl and pheasant hunts that brought the next generation into the field. But the heart of this conversation is bigger than giant deer or memorable hunts. It’s about the moments that become family history, the lessons that stay with us long after the season ends, and the way hunting connects generations. As Sam listens to his dad reflect on a lifetime outdoors, the stories carry a deeper meaning: one day, these memories become part of what we leave behind. For anyone who has hunted alongside a parent, hoped to pass a tradition to their children, or simply understands that time in the outdoors is about more than the harvest, this is a reminder to cherish the people who make those experiences matter.

The future of North America’s waterfowl may depend on protecting the prairie potholes today. What happens to duck populations when the wetlands and grasslands they depend on disappear? Sam Soholt sits down with Scott Stephens, Senior Director of Conservation Strategy at Ducks Unlimited, to dig into the science, funding, and conservation work behind North America’s waterfowl habitat. Scott explains why the Prairie Pothole Region is so important to breeding ducks, how wetland and grassland easements protect critical habitat, and why intermittent wetlands can be far more valuable than they look from a tractor cab. The conversation also breaks down the Federal Duck Stamp, where those dollars go, and why buying an extra stamp can support habitat even if you never hunt waterfowl. They get into the challenges facing wetlands, the cost difference between protecting existing habitat and restoring drained ground, and how partnerships between Ducks Unlimited, Pheasants Forever, Delta Waterfowl, federal agencies, landowners, and private donors can stretch conservation dollars much further. Scott also explains the less visible side of conservation, from policy and landowner relationships to fundraising and communications, and why those efforts matter when millions of acres are at stake. For duck hunters, pheasant hunters, and anyone who cares about healthy landscapes, this is a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to keep birds on the ground and wetlands on the map.

Musky fishing can consume a lifetime, but the biggest lessons come from adapting. Pete Maina has spent decades chasing muskies as a guide, lure builder, writer, television personality, and lifelong angler. His experience offers a rare look at how musky fishing has changed, from the days when nearly every fish was harvested to today’s widespread catch-and-release culture. The conversation digs deep into the tactics that can help anglers find and trigger muskies, including fishing shallow heavy cover, identifying productive weed edges, experimenting with lure sounds and actions, and changing speed and retrieve cadence. Maina explains why bucktails remain such an effective way to cover water, why soft plastics have become increasingly important, and why forgotten lures from decades past can suddenly become deadly again. The discussion also tackles bigger questions facing modern fisheries. Forward-facing sonar and increasingly powerful electronics are making anglers dramatically more efficient, raising questions about fishing pressure, delayed mortality, barotrauma, and whether regulations can keep pace with technology. Maina also shares his thoughts on stocking, habitat loss, season structure, and the future of musky fisheries. For anyone chasing a personal-best musky, learning better fishing strategies, or thinking about the future of freshwater fisheries, there is plenty here to take to the water.

What happens when a lifelong angler turns curiosity, timing, and authenticity into an unlikely media career? Joe Cermele has spent decades at the intersection of fishing, outdoor media, and storytelling, but his path was anything but conventional. Growing up around bait shops, boats, crabbing, and Northeast saltwater fishing, Cermele developed a deep connection to the outdoors long before he ever considered making a career from it. His route took him from punk bands and journalism school to Saltwater Sportsman, Field & Stream, Outdoor Life, and eventually MeatEater. Along the way, he became the youngest fishing editor in Field & Stream history and created Hook Shots, a fishing video series that built a fiercely loyal audience by doing things differently. Cermele explains why timing matters in the outdoor industry, how real mentorship can change a career, and why the best content often comes from simply following your curiosity. He also breaks down how Hook Shots grew an organic community before social media became the crowded battlefield it is today. For aspiring hunters, anglers, photographers, writers, and outdoor creators, there are lessons here about finding your voice, building trust, embracing experimentation, and creating work that feels like you. Most importantly, Cermele makes the case that you don't have to be the biggest creator in the room. You just have to give people a reason to come back.

The best hunting opportunities often begin with unexpected friendships and one bold decision to chase adventure. JJ Gustafson's path into the hunting industry didn't start with generations of family tradition. It started with a mentor who introduced his family to hunting, eventually leading to college football at Texas A&M, months living on the road, and a career built around waterfowl hunting, conservation, and outdoor innovation. The conversation explores how mentorship, relationships, and saying yes to new opportunities shaped every chapter of JJ's career. From learning to hunt alongside his father, to discovering public land duck hunting in Arkansas, to traveling more than 28,000 miles across 16 states during the legendary Run & Gun Tour, JJ shares the lessons that only come from spending countless days in the field. Listeners will hear behind-the-scenes stories from hunting with Duck Commander, building brands like Lifetime Decoys and Heyday Outdoors, developing new hunting products, and why authentic storytelling continues to drive the outdoor industry forward. JJ also explains why he left the corporate world to rescue one of Texas' most iconic gun shops, preserving decades of hunting heritage while building a destination for the next generation of outdoorsmen. Whether you're passionate about waterfowl hunting, public land adventures, hunting conservation, or building a career in the outdoor industry, this conversation offers practical lessons on community, resilience, and following opportunities wherever they lead.

The same mindset that conquers giant waves can unlock unforgettable hunting adventures. Professional surfer and big wave pioneer Shane Dorian joins Legends of the Wild for a conversation about risk, obsession, fitness, and the pursuit of wild experiences. Shane built a legendary career surfing some of the largest waves on Earth, chasing storms across the globe and pushing the limits of what is possible in the ocean. Along the way, he survived life-threatening wipeouts, helped develop safety innovations that changed big wave surfing, and eventually found a second passion that rivaled his love for the ocean: bowhunting. Shane shares how hunting axis deer, elk, wild sheep, and feral hogs transformed the way he looks at challenge, preparation, and personal growth. He explains why spot-and-stalk bowhunting delivers the same adrenaline, focus, and mental intensity as riding a once-in-a-decade wave. The conversation also explores hunting fitness, longevity, wild game nutrition, backcountry hunting, and the lessons learned from rebuilding his body after a devastating knee injury. From elk camps in New Mexico to stalking axis deer in Hawaii, this discussion reveals why the pursuit matters more than the trophy and why days spent in the field remain one of the best measures of a life well lived.

Two brothers unpack the hunts, failures, builds, and public land fights that shaped their outdoor lives. Sam Soholt sits down with his older brother Josh Soholt for a conversation rooted in bowhunting, backcountry hunting, conservation, and the projects that helped define both of their careers in the outdoors. From South Dakota duck blinds and pheasant fields to chasing bugling bulls in the Rockies, the two break down the experiences that pushed them deeper into elk hunting, archery, and DIY adventure culture. Josh shares how an early obsession with waterfowl hunting and western big game hunting eventually led to the creation of Garnet Ridge, one of the first gear shops focused on technical hunting apparel and mountain hunting systems. The conversation dives into bow tuning, archery mechanics, public land advocacy, and why becoming a better hunter means learning every discipline possible, from bowfishing to spot-and-stalk antelope hunting. The brothers also swap stories from building hunting rigs, converting off-road vehicles, and launching projects like Public Land Tees and Bow Tune School. Along the way, they tackle the realities of conservation politics, the importance of access, and why modern outdoorsmen need to stay engaged in protecting public lands. This one feels less like an interview and more like campfire conversation between two hunters still chasing the next adventure. Follow the show for more weekly hunting and fishing conversations.

A race against time to save the stories, footage, and legacy of wild turkey hunting. Wild turkeys nearly disappeared from the American landscape. What brought them back is one of the greatest conservation success stories in North America. What’s at risk now is the history behind it. This conversation dives into the creation of the Wild Turkey Archives and the mission to protect the culture, heritage, and untold stories of turkey hunting before they’re lost for good. From early trap-and-transfer efforts and rocket netting to decades-old VHS tapes and century-old hunting journals, this is a deep look into how turkey populations were restored and how the traditions around them were built. You’ll hear how thousands of hours of vintage hunting footage are being digitized, why old-school turkey hunting tactics and gear are making a comeback, and what modern hunters can learn from the grit, failures, and ingenuity of those who came before. There’s a raw authenticity in these stories that stands in stark contrast to today’s curated hunting content. If you care about turkey hunting, conservation history, and the deeper connection to the land, this is a look behind the curtain at the people and moments that shaped it all—and why preserving that legacy matters for the future of hunting.

How Mark Kenyon turned passion for hunting into a career while protecting public lands and wildlife for future generations. Mark Kenyon built Wired to Hunt from a simple blog into one of the most influential voices in whitetail hunting, podcasting, and conservation. This conversation traces that path from early days learning HTML and writing daily with no income, to launching a podcast before the outdoor industry understood the format, to eventually joining MeatEater and shaping national conversations around public lands and wildlife policy. There’s a clear throughline for anyone chasing a career in hunting media or outdoor storytelling. Consistency matters more than talent early on. Developing a unique voice is critical in a crowded space. And long-term success comes from stacking small daily wins, not chasing overnight growth. Kenyon also breaks down the evolution of hunting content from early whitetail media and VHS tapes to today’s digital ecosystem, offering practical insight for aspiring creators. The conversation moves beyond content into conservation, including the importance of public land access, the reality of policy battles, and projects like the Tucker Town Game Lands initiative. It closes with a look at modern conservation storytelling, large-scale wildlife restoration, and a western bison hunt that brings it all full circle.

Turn every hunt into unforgettable meals with simple, proven wild game cooking strategies. Cooking wild game well is the difference between obligation and obsession. This conversation with wild game chef Jeff Benda breaks down how to transform your hunting and fishing harvest into meals your family actually craves. From spring turkey hunting to waterfowl hunting and venison preparation, the focus is on practical techniques that elevate flavor without overcomplicating the process. You’ll learn how to get more meals out of a single bird, including breaking down a wild turkey into multiple dishes like curry and fried tenders. There’s a strong emphasis on using the entire animal, especially often-overlooked cuts like turkey legs and waterfowl thighs, turning them into slow-cooked meals, stocks, and shredded recipes that maximize your harvest. The discussion also tackles common mistakes that ruin wild game, like overcooking venison and improper meat handling. Simple adjustments like aging, proper field care, and cooking to medium rare can completely change how deer meat tastes. For anglers and hunters alike, the takeaway is clear: better preparation leads to better experiences in the outdoors. Whether you’re chasing gobblers, shooting ducks, or filling a deer tag, these insights will help you cook with confidence and deepen your connection to the outdoors.
