Ep. 43: Huntin' Overtime

Dylan is joined by MMA World Champion Corey “Overtime” Anderson to talk about balancing the fight life with his passion for hunting. The two also talk about the impact that people who reach a diverse crowd can have on how the general public views hunters, because Corey can and will reach an audience with the good of hunting that Dylan would never have the chance to reach.

Ep. 42: Mechanics, Tuning, and Transitions

mechanics, tuning bows, aiming methods, making the switch from a compound to a recurve,
and a whole lot more!

Dylan is joined by Justin Spring, Executive Director of the Pope & Young Club, to talk about Florida recently reinstating a bear hunt.
 
This is a HUGE win for conservation and proof that the North American Wildlife Conservation works. 
 
Why was it taken away in the first place? What does it look like over the next few years? What could come of the season? The two talk about all of it and more! 

Ep. 40: The South, Humor, and Mistakes

Dylan is joined by Trent Ellis to talk life in the South, Trent’s journey into making content, stand up comedy, and how to respond when people with influence make mistakes. 

Ep. 39: The Stick Bow Stalker

Dylan is joined by South Cox, owner of Stalker Stickbows. There are a lot of good bowyers out there. There are also a lot of bad to the bone killers out there. South just happens to be BOTH. 
 
The two talk through South’s bowhunting journey, becoming a bowyer, and his addiction to stalking in close to big game with his recurve in hand! You’ll hear some of South’s most exciting tales, from close encounters with big bulls to crawling in on giant bedded mule deer! Don’t miss it!

Ep. 38: Complete Broadhead Breakdown

Dylan is joined by Bryan Broderick from Day Six Gear to give you a COMPLETE guide to broadheads! Shapes, sizes, designs, functionality, material, and EVERYTHING in between! The goal: give you a complete guide to making the most educated choice about your broadhead selection! 
At the end of the day, the broadhead you choose is the FIRST thing to come in contact with the animal, and often times, the ONLY thing to come in contact with the animal. So, shouldn’t it be the MOST considered part of our gear? 

Ep. 37: Complete Optics Breakdown

Dylan is joined by Reuben Aleckson from Vortex Optics to do a complete break down on building an optics kit for hunting! Ever wondered what size of spotting scope or binoculars to run for a certain hunt? We all have!
The two breakdown what to look for in a set of binoculars or a spotting scope, and some things to consider when choosing different sizes for different types of hunts!

Ep. 36: Public Lands, Bow Builds, and Content

Dylan is joined by Sam Soholt to discuss the recent threat to public lands and how to navigate through the different bills to really understand what is actually going on. We should celebrate these wins, but we shouldn’t kick our heels up and act as though the fight is over; we need to keep fighting and stay diligent about standing together. 
 
The two also discuss bow setups, tuning bows, and how to make changes to your equipment.

Ep. 35: Be Selective

When Jason Matzinger began making his films, what he brought to the world was an entirely new way to look at a hunt. Dylan and Jason talk about his journey into film making, but really take a deep dive into his most recent film, Selective, and what it means to be a selective hunter.
Don’t get it confused with trophy hunting. SELECTIVE hunting is understanding what animals need be taken off of the landscape, and targeting those animals. Selective hunting is understanding that sometimes we pass bulls with bigger antlers to shoot the older more mature bulls with less impressive antlers.
The purpose of the episode? To help drive us to make more selective decisions in punching a tag. To get us to consider what animals we shoot and WHY. We are NOT here to tell you that you’re wrong. It’s your tag. If you shoot an animal that is legal and you’re happy with it, I’ll celebrate with you every single time!

Ep. 34: Talkin' Turkeys with Hosie

Dylan is joined by turkey addict Nate Hosie from Head Hunters TV. 
 
The two talk about Nate’s spring season, getting new hunters out in the turkey woods, and the importance of slowing down and remembering what it’s all about.
