Under Pressure Outdoors Podcast

Alright everyone we’re back in action this week and kicking things off with Leland Brown of the North American Lead Free Partnership. They are a hunter-led conservation alliance, working to reduce wildlife exposure to lead by promoting voluntary use of non-lead ammunition. Now you might scoff at the thought of jumping to a copper bullet this fall but Leland has the data to prove the Effectiveness...

We did this Live Sunday Evening and didn't make it 24hrs and I hop on social media and see the hunting community eating itself alive. It is absolutely ridiculous. At this point I'm not even sure I should be posing this as a question as it feels more relevant as a statement, We are our own worst enemy. Anyway there's still hope,  I know that there's still plenty of people out there who still j...

This the last installment of the Hunting Stories Series and then it's back to your regularly scheduled programming and we have some great shows coming your way. This week we’re going back to a story crafted right here in the South East's own Appalachian mountain range. This week we’re re telling Dillon Harper's Story of perseverance through the struggles of the public land hills he calls home in s...

Have you ever heard the saying there's a 100 different ways to skin a cat? PETA probably isn’t going like that analogy but that's a different podcast for a different date. Coincidentally enough it seems like there's easily 100 x 100 different ways to kill a deer although in my experience some ways are better than others. So let's talk about it.

We’re getting closer to being back on track and we have some awesome new episodes coming down the pipe for you all but in the meantime I want to share a story with you that is a hunt on my bucket list. This week we’re jumping back to an episode that we recorded over a year ago talking with a gentleman named Nick about a successful sika deer hunt in Maryland. Ever since I saw Tony Makis hunt Sika d...

It's that time of year, well to be honest it’s been that time of year for a while now. Just like you do with your bow you should be practicing with your rifle or muzzleloader in the off season even if it's just dry fire training. That being said, before you go to the woods you should be checking your zero and making sure the safe gremlins didn’t make any off season adjustments for you so this week...

Things have gotten a bit crazy around here the last few weeks. So a little backstory, recently my beautiful wife fell and broke her knee cap in half and between working a full time job outside of this show, and needing to step up to take over a lot of her duties in the home as well I fell behind in scheduling and recordings. So… I’ve gone back through and found some of my favorite stories from the...

Why do you go to the woods? Are you a serious hunter, everything must be perfect, the wind the scent regiment, absolutely everything or are you more relaxed. Do you measure the hunt in inches or in stories? There isn’t a wrong answer and doing what makes you happy is the best choice but keep that in mind when someone else’s legal choices don’t align with yours. UPO Gear & Such- https://uponati...

Boy do we have an exciting announcement this week, I’m sure you’ve likely become familiar with my co host Vince and the wealth of technical knowledge he’s been on some fairly niche subjects here recently. All those nice things said if you look up A.D.D. in the dictionary there’s a picture of Vince next to the definition. On that note UPO Media Co. is excited to bring to you the Weaponized Attentio...

We've all heard enough of it from the anti hunting community and now it's coming from our side of the fence. I get that you might not agree with how things are run conservation wise in Florida but if you aren't providing a viable solution with your complaint you're just creating static. The Upcoming Florida bear hunt is no stranger to the whining, complaining and bickering and we're going to talk...

  It is officially deer season in a large majority of the south and that is a reason to rejoice! It’s the best season of the entire year! Now if you’ve spent any decent amount of time in the woods you know that bad shots happen. We practice in the off season and wait patiently for the right opportunity to present itself but sometimes even when everything seems to be going right, something goe...

Country folk were going green by necessity before it had a cool name. From keeping the same old truck running to collecting beer cans for well, beer money. Living close to the land has been a way of life long before growing a garden and canning food was considered “Prepping” it was just a simple way of life.  UPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/   UPO Social Media- https://linktrh....

This definitely isn’t the first time we’ve covered the great loop, but if you weren’t already aware The Great Loop is a continuous waterway route that recreational boaters take around the eastern United States and parts of Canada. The loop is about 6,000 miles total, depending on the chosen path and most boaters take about a year to complete it in cruisers, trawlers or sailboats but not Robert. Ou...

I don’t get it man, I really don’t. Would you believe me if I told you there are people out there self centered enough to hate on youth seasons? Of course you would, you’re on the internet just like I am, I'm sure you’ve seen it. The question is why do they hate it? Let's talk about it.  UPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/   UPO Social Media- https://linktrh.ee/underpressureoutdoo...

It’s no secret that nationwide invasive aquatic plants are a problem, it’s also no secret that people everywhere, generally speaking, don’t like the fact that herbicides are used in the attempted mitigation of invasive aquatic plants. Especially in Florida. Now I’m not telling you were about to give you the answers, in fact you’ll probably be left with more questions, titan when you started but yo...

Conspiracy theories are a tricky beast. Some of them are way out there and make you look crazy for even talking about them but then there are some that, well, just seem to, maybe, just possibly be true and the hunting space is no stranger to the realm of conspiracy theories.  UPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/   UPO Social Media- https://linktrh.ee/underpressureoutdoors Become a...

Gator season is in full swing down here and the lizards are rolling in left and right and we figured you guys might be interested in the guys that trap these jokers year round down here. During gator season anyone with a tag can go out to their respective areas and harvest a gator but the rest of the year someone has to be responsible to doing the remedial task like pulling a 7 footer out of your...

It feels like everyone loves to hate the 6.5 creedmoor. My question is why? Is it really not adequate for taking whitetail sized game? Or is it just because it's a new fad? What if i told you that this isn't the first time a “New” cartridge has garnered all this guff. Let's talk about some of the most used to be hated cartridges in modern hunting history.  UPO Gear & Such- https://uponati...

When we say it’s hunting season down here in Florida it could mean any number of wild creatures from whitetail deer, to iguanas, hell it could even mean pythons! This week we sat down with Nick Odom to talk about chasing alligators across the state of Florida. Nick has passion for chasing these giant lizards and helping others bring home a nice new set of gator skin boots and some fine fixins of g...

Some People enjoy the silence and stillness of a solo deer hunt others enjoy the group aspect of duck hunting. Personally, I understand the pro’s and con’s of both. Whether you enjoy the motionless silence or the duck blind banter there's something in it for everyone.  UPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/   UPO Social Media- https://linktrh.ee/underpressureoutdoor s Become a Patron...

  If you’ve been following the hunting politics here in Florida you’re more than aware of the fact that we have had some very serious discussions about getting ourselves a bear hunt. We did have a hunt back in 2015 that came close to meeting the quota in just around 2 days subsequently triggering the closure of a scheduled week-long season. That hunt was a publicity nightmare to say the least...

I don’t hate any of you for what you choose to hunt with as long as it's legal. I will however always reserve the right to my own opinion as everyone should. I’m not anti any form of hunting and if you hunt with a crossbow trust me you might want to hang around for this one. O and one more thing for what it's worth to anyone's opinion of me, I only hunt with a bow during bow season because the law...

For the past few weeks you’ve likely heard us talking about the Daytona 55 archery shoot put on by the Daytona Archers Club. Well this week we sat down with Doug and Mark of the Daytona Archers Club to learn not only about the upcoming shoot on the 16th and 17th but to really dive into what the club offers to its members on an annual basis. Don’t worry, I didn't forget to pry some top secret info...

All too often in the whitetail deer hunting community we hear the term trophy deer management used in place of quality deer management and vice versa. Are you one of them? Do you know someone who is?

You guys are in for a real treat this week! We sat down with John Grasta to talk about fly fishing. John just recently came back from a trip down to Jurassic Living Jewels where he chased some monsters, we’ll let him tell the story and the how too once we kick this thing off but first I'd encourage you to take a minute and check out a spey rod on google. They’re definitely not the fly rod you see...
