This week Mike, Ryan, and Charlie got caught up on the busy spring they have had and then discussed some of the current conspiracies in the hunting world. Some of it makes no sense, some of it contains just enough truth to make you wonder, and some of it might make you think there really are Mt Lions in NY. Join the fun and enjoy the laughs, and don't take us too seriously. Also be sure to che...

This week we took the podcast on the road. This spring we picked up a 63 acre lease that we are tentatively calling "The Annex." It's 6 miles from our cabin and property. Ryan Marti and I grabbed the binos and went over to do some scouting from the bed of the truck. While we were there we decided to hit record. We saw plenty of deer, talked about tree stand placements, and buying stands off the si...

This week we sat down with Jason Lupardus the CEO of Turkeys For Tomorrow.

New proposed regulations for the NY deer season has Mike, Ryan, and Charlie processing what it might mean for us, for those in the Adirondacks, the deer herd, and most importantly the keyboard warriors and the self-declared biologists online. This was one of our more serious conversations and we basically landed with a "wait and see" plan and ultimately the thought that we aren't pro...

Scott and I are both from Perry NY, but had to drive to Harrisburg to finally meet up in person. Scott drops by the podcast this week to talk about family, deer hunting, and cell cams.
