Afflictor Broadheads make sense to me. You can look at the designs and read the specs and understand how these broadheads are durable, fail-safe, and get the job done in the woods. I really enjoyed talking with Chris about the details of Afflictor; my favorite part was how he went from being a “fixed blade only” guy to shooting hybrids. I think you will enjoy this conversation too! Thanks for listening! Also, we want to thank this episode’s sponsor Anabolic Gro, Food Plots Just Got Better - use ...

Saddle hunting is almost as a big a “thing” as heavy arrows in the hunting world right now! LOL Seriously though, I was so glad to talk with Mr. Benny Gregoire, owner of Buzzard Roost Saddles, to get a better explanation of the benefits of saddle hunting. Benny and Buzzard Roost are synonymous with scrappy, non-fancy, blue collar hunters. It’s who they are and who they represent. If you like supporting American made, small business, please take a minute to check out Buzzard Roost! https://buzzar...

I am so glad I was able to have Josh on to talk about everything from his scouting strategy to the way he tries to supplement the nutrition of his local deer herd to his mantra of “shoot what you want.” This is not an encouragement to shoot small or young deer so much as it is an acknowledgement that hunters are in different phases of their hunting journey, hunters are in different regions of the country, and hunters own their own tags. I think y’all will enjoy this one! Thanks for listening! Ch...

Mark this down as the day things got Western on the Wannabe Hunting Podcast … well, sort of. Thanks to my guest, Jacob Coons, I am thinking about going elk hunting - without driving or flying nearly as far as I thought! Jacob is extremely knowledgeable on all things eastern elk, so pay attention for draw odds and a lot more for several Eastern states that have elk hunting seasons. Also, Jacob does have some resources available on Amazon; although, he is very liberal with free info - just send hi...

I am so glad that Alan and I were able to connect. As a new hunter, I honestly needed a good lesson on chokes - in layman’s terms, from an expert - and that is exactly what this episode is! Even if you are well versed in chokes, I think you will enjoy sitting on the front porch of your mind and joining us in this conversation. As it relates to turkey hunting, having the correct choke and ammunition combination can help you make the most ethical shot possible - which is the goal for all of us. If...
