750 - Inside the Best Whitetail Ranch in America: Legendary Hunts with Dan Moultrie Dec 22, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, we sit down with Dan Moultrie for a story-filled conversation about big bucks, legendary hunts, and why hunting should always stay fun. Dan shares years of experience from the iconic Kennedy Ranch in South Texas, often called the Augusta National of deer hunting, where rattling in multiple mature bucks and seeing world-class whitetails was the norm.

We talk age-class deer management, book deer expectations, wild rattling encounters, close calls with snakes, and what it was like hunting with some of the most recognizable names in the outdoor industry. More importantly, we dig into the camaraderie, etiquette, and mindset that make hunting meaningful long after the shot.

This one’s about more than antlers—it’s about stories, friendships, and the reason we all fell in love with the woods in the first place.

749 - Southern Rut Masterclass: Gun Hunting Mature Bucks on Pressured Public Land | THROWBACK Dec 18, 2025

Show notes

In this throwback episode, we sit down with our buddies Nick Harris & Scott Seales, who are some seasoned public-land killers, to break down how they consistently find and kill mature bucks during the Southern rut. From hunting pressure and late-morning movement to off-winds, ugly terrain, and long-range gun setups, this conversation is packed with hard-earned lessons that only come from decades in the woods. If you gun hunt the rut in the Deep South—especially on pressured public land—this episode is a masterclass in how it really gets done.
