323 | Rethinking Firearm Storage & Security Dec 17, 2021

Show notes

How do you store and secure your hunting rifles? Is the "safe" that you're using actually providing the protection that you think it is? Having personally wrestled with these questions, we were interested to explore some ideas and products that offered alternative solutions, and honestly, an entirely different way of thinking about firearm storage and security. We are joined by Tom Kubinec of SecureIt Gun Storage to learn more about the firearm storage industry, common misconceptions about gun safes, and why SecureIt takes a different approach than most companies when it comes to offering solutions for storage and security.

319 | Tracking Big Woods Bucks with Hal Blood Dec 01, 2021

Show notes

This episode is all about tracking deer. Our guest, Hal Blood, is an expert tracker from the "Big Woods" of Maine. If you're not familiar with the hunting culture of Maine's Big Woods, we discuss that, and learn tracking tips from Hal that will help you — no matter what species you are hunting, or where you may be attempting to track them. Most of the tracking discussion is focused on late-season hunts when snow is on the ground, but even if that specific context doesn't apply to your hunts, you will still learn a lot about tracking techniques and animal behavior.
