We had never seen a buck with a neck so bruised, cut, and scarred up from fighting as the one we finished off the trip to Swamp Donkey with. It really was a fitting climax to an awesome time at an amazing place. There's just so much to be said about the Mississippi River. There's a deeper reason why it feels so much like home to us. In this episode, we discuss the rest of our trip there, as well as a rare disagreement about what the wildlife and hunting atmosphere was like in several years ago. ...

Prolific is a not term you hear often applied to deer herds. "The best whitetail hunting I've ever experienced" is not a phrase you often hear paired with a place in the southeast. We are here to tell you, that Swamp Donkey is truly one of the most incredible places that we have ever experienced. We are 2 1/2 days into our trip down on the Mississippi River and cannot wait to fill you in on everything that has taken place. Don't miss it!

An update on the action at Kudzu, which includes not a only a successful hunting story, but also a very telling reason of why we call the place "Kudzu Bluffs." In this specific story, however, it might as well be referred to as a Kudzu canyon. This week's conversation also includes a duck hunt that didn't quite go as planned, the rare occurrence where the guy running the camera can see a deer but the hunter can't, and a very optimistic outlook on how this week of hunting is going to go.

The conclusion of last week's episode in a much satisfying fashion. It wasn't even close to being guaranteed, but man, we are so thankful the story of our hunt in Southeast Iowa ended the way it did. The story of this single day of hunting alone is a story all in itself, so we tried our best not to skip a single meaningful or exciting detail. Throughout the conversation you will hear us cover, the decision to move in aggressively, studying OnX to determine where to go, the art of picking the rig...

We recorded this in the middle of preparing for our upcoming trip to Southeast Iowa. It's no secret to any deer hunter that area of the country is known for intense rut activity, calling deer, and most everything else a bow hunter could dream of. We decided to talk a little a bit about Jordan's excitement for a tag he's waited 5 years to draw, as well as dive into subjects that we tend to get questions about a lot. timing your calling, what sounds to make and when, why we decide to call certain ...

To many of us, September is viewed as the kick off of hunting season! For those of us in the southeast, it's usually brought to us by a dove shoot or two.

When most of us think of duck hunting, we think of the Mississippi River, the Prairies of the Dakotas, Saskatchewan, or maybe Argentina if we're feeling real adventurous. Ramsey Russell has spent his life duck hunting and collecting experiences in areas that never cross our minds in terms of chasing waterfowl. The Netherlands, Russia, Peru, Africa, Iran, you name it, and he has been there. This was an incredibly interesting conversation with stories from a man that has truly seen the world. Chec...

Last week Lake, Jordan, and Brad had an encounter with a timber rattlesnake in the middle of the woods. the situation resulted in a quick iPhone video of the snake and the guys explaining that they don't kill snakes when they stumble up on them in the woods. After sharing this on our social media, we stirred up an unintentional firestorm of comments, arguments, and heated debates on whether or not the snake should've killed. That what led us to contacting Terry Vandeventer, who is a herpetologis...
