Show notes

This week I made the trip up to 2nd Amendment Outdoors in Corinth, Mississippi to hang out with Kevin Cribley, better known around here as The Saddle Guy.

If you've been curious about saddle hunting… or just love good hunting talk, this one's worth your time in the stand.

FFOD292 : When the Velvet Drops with Dr. Bronson Strickland Sep 23, 2025

Show notes

Everybody's got an opinion on what bucks do when the velvet comes off… coats start changing and food sources shift. But I wanted more than opinions, I wanted facts. That's why I sat down with Dr. Bronson Strickland who's got decades of real-time location data on whitetails.

Join us as we cut through the guesswork and talk about what the deer are actually doing during that transition window. From movement patterns to food preferences.. this is the kind of info that'll make you a smarter hunter before you ever step in the woods.

FFOD291 : Farming, Flying and the Future with Madison Dixon Sep 16, 2025

Show notes

This week I sat down with Madison Dixon from Mississippi State's Agricultural Autonomy Institute. Now if that sounds fancy, it is .. but trust me, this is one of the most down to earth conversations you'll hear about where drones and farming are headed. Madison's not only an expert with over 1,800 hours in the air, he's also a 5th generation Mississippi farmer.

We covered everything from using drones in agriculture, to how these "uncrewed aircraft systems" are changing the way we scout land, manage crops and even think about the outdoors.

FFOD290 : BowTok with Scot Evans Sep 09, 2025

Show notes

This week I visited with Scot Evans, archery expert, bow shop owner and the man behind the wildly popular TikTok channel BowTok. If it's got a string, a cam, or a release aid .. we covered it. From budget setups to high end gear, tuning tricks to common mistakes, Scot breaks down bows in a way that makes sense whether you're brand new to the game or been slinging arrows for decades. Thanks for listening!

FFOD289 : The History of Hunting the Country Sep 02, 2025

Show notes

Back in the mid 90s we launched an outdoor TV show called Hunting the Country on TNN. Nobody knew it at the time, but it went on to run for two decades and became one of the longest standing hunting shows on national television.

What made it different? We kept it about regular folks, relatable hunts and real stories. Judging by the response when I asked if you wanted to hear the full story, a lot of you still remember setting the VCR and watching with your dad. This week I'm taking you behind the scenes of how Hunting the Country came to be, what made it work and why it still means so much to people today.

FFOD287 : Faith, Fur & Finding Your Calling with Jim Peeler Aug 19, 2025

Show notes

Jim Peeler didn't grow up in the woods.. that came later in life. And when it did, God used it to put him on a path he never saw coming.

Today, he runs the Jungle Mobile Petting Zoo, a nonprofit that brings critters to special needs folks, law enforcement, first responders, veterans and more as a form of therapy and connection. Talk about a fist full of dirt!

Jim's story is about second chances, stepping into your calling and the amazing things that can happen when you let Faith take the lead.

FFOD286 : No Elk Were Harmed Aug 12, 2025

Show notes

First time I ever went out west after elk, I was with a crew of southern rookies big on dreams and short on experience. (And funds) We hiked, we laughed, we got altitude sickness… and we didn't kill a thing. But looking back, it turned into one of my favorite hunts ever. Sometimes the best trips aren't about what's in the freezer, they're about the stories you bring home.
