Pennsylvania Woodsman - Camp Logbooks to Legacy: Building Community in the Outdoors Mar 04, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitchell sits down with Ron Mentzer of the Tracks and Tackle podcast and Mentzer Outdoors for a wide-ranging conversation about storytelling, hunting tradition, and the power of belonging. Ron shares how a decades-long family camp logbook eventually evolved into a podcast built around campfire conversations and connecting everyday outdoorsmen across Pennsylvania and beyond. Together, they unpack why hunters crave camaraderie, how intentional mentorship keeps traditions alive, and why creating space at the table matters more than ever in today’s hunting culture.

The conversation then shifts into bowhunting mindset, balance, and the tension many passionate hunters feel between ambition and family responsibility. From rut vacation stories and close-call recoveries to honest reflection about when hunting can cross into unhealthy territory, this episode dives into the deeper “why” behind the pursuit. It’s not just about antlers or filled tags — it’s about meaning, memory, legacy, and learning to “hunt your hunt” while keeping life in balance. A thoughtful, reflective discussion that will resonate with anyone who struggles to turn hunting brain off — even in the off-season.

Show notes

In the world of whitetail deer hunting, few names carry the weight and respect of Dan Infalt. Known nationwide as “The Hunting Beast,” Dan has built a legendary reputation by consistently tagging mature bucks on heavily pressured public land — year after year.

In this episode, we dive deep into the mind of one of Wisconsin’s most relentless and analytical deer hunters. Dan shares his aggressive mobile hunting tactics, how he breaks down overlooked public land, and why scouting is the foundation of his success.

We also talk about:

• The mindset required to hunt pressured public land

• Why most hunters overthink sign and overlook bedding

• Mobile setups and adapting to changing deer behavior

• Lessons learned from decades of chasing mature bucks

Whether you’re a seasoned bowhunter or just getting serious about whitetails, this conversation will challenge how you think about deer hunting — and push you to hunt smarter, harder, and more aggressively.

If you’re ready to stop hunting where the deer were and start hunting where they are, this episode is for you.

Hound Dog Network - GTTD Revisited: Larry Meeks Mar 02, 2026

Show notes

It’s old home week on the Gone to the Dogs podcast as Steve connects with his longtime friend and former boss, Larry Meeks. Meeks was the owner and served as CEO for Professional Kennel Club for thirteen years following his purchase of the popular coonhound registry in the fall of 1997. Fielder joined the organization in June of 1998 and served as its Senior Vice President through November of 2004.

Conversation flows freely as Fielder urges Meeks to recall his meager upbringing in and around the Terre Haute, Indiana area. It’s a Horatio Alger story of a kid raised by a single parent, his dad, that was largely left to his own devices until he discovered his affinity to all things involving trucks. Meeks and his son Jeremy own and operate Gibco Motor Express, one of the nation’s top commodity haulers that haul, in Meeks’ words, everything from coal to bread.

Meeks coon hunting background and an early affiliation with PKC led him to purchase the registry and catapult it into a thriving business in his 13-year tenure. He and Fielder relive the days and nights at the Tennis Center at Ken Lake State Park in West Kentucky where the Super Stakes and World Hunt were held back-to-back in a ten-day coon hunting marathon.

Stories, some that include an inside look at the workings of a major coon hunting organization, abound in this entertaining episode. Enjoy.
