Keefer Brother's Wilder Minds

Mike Passaglia joins the crew and brings the chaos with him. From busting gobblers in California walnut orchards to nearly dying on an Alaskan river with no GPS, no pilot, and a guide who treats Class IV rapids like a casual float trip—this one covers it all. Chris and Mike drop a bird. JB fumbles a double. Four new hunters tag out. And somewhere in between, Mike builds a body pillow of himself fo...

Turkey camp went full throttle—mud-soaked crawls, beard-dragging longbeards, and neighbors firing up blowers mid-stalk. Becky gets her first bird. Casey gets denied permission so hard he needed a Busch Light. And Will Brantley rolls in fresh off a Metallica concert and tags out in 25 minutes. This one has it all—strutters, safes, and the legend of Neil Young’s food plot, now known forever as ...

Captain Jefe’s first time behind the mic is more like being thrown to the wolves: turkey beard rot, JB field-crapping like a golden retriever, full-on plane crashes, and enchiladas from a dude’s wife mid-rescue. Petie the decoy goes through some shit, Casey nearly meets his maker in a dive-bomb landing in the Alaskan Bush, and mustache-trimming advice gets uncomfortably specific. We’re gearing up...

A throwback turkey hunt, TSS loads strong enough to deport a gobbler, and permission stories that sound like fever dreams—gangrene feet, dogs eating roofing nails, and three innings of Tigers baseball with an old dude in his undies. The 989 Gobbler Club is handing out its finest (and most shameful) awards, including a wooden gun you really don’t want. Throw in dire wolves, woolly mammoths, and a t...

We’ve never told this story—and for good reason. It started with a hunch and some half-legible journal entries from the 1700s. John Swift—silver miner, war vet, possible madman—claimed he buried loads of silver deep in the Kentucky hills. Most chalked it up to backwoods legend. We didn’t. We followed the clues, found the creek, the rock, the carvings. Sent Casey into a cave that looked like it had...

Split across the map for spring break, Chris, Casey, and JB reunite with wild stories and even wilder takes. From thundersnow in Midland to Chris losing a phone, a mask, and possibly his sanity in Mexico. They pour one out for Val Kilmer, crown Doc Holliday the undisputed GOAT, and entertain the theory that Jim Morrison might still be breathing. Add in whitetail conspiracy records, shady hunting m...

Busch Light, March Madness brackets, and defending the driveway like it’s a war zone. JB throws out wild probabilities, a zombie deer and a lady with dementia make an appearance, and somehow, a housecat sends a legendary big game hunter to the hospital. Oh, and if you were born in the ‘90s, you definitely listened to Dave Matthews, ripped darts, and wore Birks—Chris said it, not us. But the bigges...

Chris kicks things off by roasting JB for thinking NBA players are the ultimate athletes before declaring hockey players can do literally anything. He also fires off wildly inappropriate JFK assassination quotes mid-hunt. Casey drops some hard truths about hunters making everything harder than it needs to be, a 2x UFC Champion's refusal to do cardio prior to title fights, and how they once stood i...

Casey Keefer talks proving himself worthy to an Amazon Tribal Chief, being smuggled by a non-english speaking heli pilot, and how some guy tried to make life harder by legalizing bowhunting. Chris Keefer breaks down how a steady diet of ciggy's and coffee got him through multiple seasons of Dropped, his new found tobacco-free pouch obsession and why tequila makes him fluent in Spanish. Lastly, the...

Casey Keefer dives into Gene Hackman's best movies and answers JB's "cut what out of your life" questions. Chris Keefer talks turkey hunting with Michael Waddell, Nate Hosie, Randy Birdsong, and others...all at the same time! Lastly, the guys talk about JB ripping the inside of his legs off, Woody damn near OD'ing on Benadryl and why you don't want to find yourself pissing blood 30+ days into a Yu...

Over 20 years of real stories and raw conversation starts right here.  In this first episode, we pull back the curtains on the podcast itself - what it's all about, who it's for and what you can expect.  Casey Keefer talks AI and hunting, Chris Keefer talks mentoring newcomers in the hunting industry and JB on why he woke up covered in blood in Dawson City, Yukon. Oh yeah, there's a part...
