September 10, 2016 09:00 - 1 hour - 50.8 MB

Sure, having your first baby might change things a bit, but the corn still needs to grow, the fields need to be seeded, the trees need to be cut, and life going any slower than Mach 10 just wouldn't seem normal. That's how Lee and Tiffany, our guests from Episode 050, like it. Tiffany has pulled back just a bit to take care of their son, but both Lee and Tiffany enjoy a fast paced country life.  They say that when they're not on the road, they're home bodies and you'll never find them at a c...

September 03, 2016 09:00 - 1 hour - 42.8 MB

Michael Waddell never planned to be on television. He was like any other kid growing up in rural town USA.  He hunted small game like every other kid. He fished for bass like every other kid.  In fact, Michael says you we're considered odd if you didn't do these things.   It wasn't until Michael became more passionate than others about certain aspects of the outdoors that he was noticed by the founders of Realtree.

Dairy farming, mismatched camouflage, deer scouting from a tractor, maple syrup, and electricity from manure aren't exactly the things you'd think of  these days when you think of Nikki Boxler.  But, these items have been a part of Nikki's life for some time, and at her roots, these are the types of things that keep her grounded.  Nikki says she really prefers the simple life and says that social media and television are exactly what we need less of in order to get back to the what really ma...

TR Walters is a school teachin', deer huntin' machine.  When he's not in the classroom educating the children of Hickory Corners, Michigan he's out at the farm or in the woods teaching himself more about the idiosyncracies of his local deer herd.  TR believes in planting both spring and fall food plots, endless observation of deer and deer habits, soaking his ground blinds months in advance of the hunt, and never carries a knife on a hunt (he says it's bad luck).     As we continue our quest...

161 JIM KINSEY - Camera Man Jimmy, Making Music, Filming Endlessly, and Hunting the Big Sky Country

August 13, 2016 09:00 - 1 hour - 31.5 MB

It was love at first kill. Jim Kinsey, former US Marine helicopter mechanic, writer, film maker, and hard core deer hunter,  met Jana Waller (one of our favorite predators on the planet) in a ground blind on a turkey hunt.  Does it get any better than that?  Now, Jim spends much of his time behind the camera handling the filming and editing for the show Skull Bound on the Sportsman's Channel.  Jim writes for various journals, the television show, and is now writing music for Nashville.  Jim ...

Doug Kostreva doesn't get much sleep.  A typical day starts at 4AM and doesn't end until after 9pm.  Doug doesn't mind though. As a multi-generational farmer, Doug never stops thinking about how to make stuff grow better.  If Doug isn't filling an order for a hunter eager to get their food plot off the ground, he's giving someone advice on how to make the best food plot of their life. As Doug says, you want to plant far enough ahead to give your plants maximum growth at the very moment you s...

Vanillian. As a chemical formula, the organic compound looks something like this: C8H8O3. Combine this with an apple and you get something called Vapple. Neophobia: extreme or irrational fear or dislike of anything new, novel, or unfamiliar.  Deer are the world's biggest neophobes if you think about it.

July 09, 2016 09:00 - 1 hour - 49 MB

It all started with a deer hunt and a camera. At age 14, who thinks to video record their hunts?

June 25, 2016 09:00 - 1 hour - 32.4 MB

Hunting the big mountains of the west is demanding, physically and mentally.  You can travel to the spot, but when the hunt is on, you need to kick into high gear.  On a hunt, Kristy Titus needed that extra gear when it counted most, but couldn't get there. She says, "I was so gassed that I was tasting blood".  She was the overweight non-athlete and  she was out of shape. It wasn't fun.  This self realization set the stage for years to come. Kristy vowed to herself to never let anything like...

We pick up where we left off, at Phase II of the rut, as described by Dr. Ken Nordberg. This show covers Phases II through V.

After twenty six years of food plots, habitat management, and raising deer it's safe to say that Nick Percy is an expert at all these things.   Seeing that it is that time of year for planting and growing, we decided to have Nick, from Killer Food Plots, join us to breakdown each and every step needed to start and maintain a quality food plot, what to grow, and where to grow it.   This show is great for the beginner or the person who has been at the food plot experience for a bit, but just c...

May 28, 2016 09:00 - 1 hour - 35.3 MB

When an wrench hits, plans change. For Charles Byrum, when surgery failed leaving him less mobile, it put a serious damper on his spot and stalk style of California deer hunting. So, instead of staying put and wishing he could continue his passion, Charles did what any die hard deer hunter would do, he moved to Iowa! The terrain and techniques are different, but Charles is still getting it done in the deer woods (and is now shooting bigger deer by the way). OUR SPONSORS: Morse's Sporting...

May 07, 2016 09:00 - 1 hour - 40.9 MB

Jim Shockey, now 58 years young, has made a career of hunting for over 30 years now. Most would say he is one of most recognized and influential hunters of our time. Eva, his daughter, now 28 years old, has been following in Jim's footsteps but is, arguably, more recognized than Jim considering the number of Eva's social media followers. Eva has now entered into a new phase of her hunting career and life as she has broken away from the nest. Jim's start was far more humble than you might thi...

April 23, 2016 09:00 - 1 hour - 36.2 MB

Coyotes Kill Deer Fawns and Hurt the Deer Herd.  As deer hunters we have an obligation to hunt coyotes all year round, not to eliminated them, but to control them in order to let the buck fawn live and eventually seed a healthier deer herd to include a healthy supply of bucks.  In our last show with Al, (Episode 138 www.BigBuckRegistry.com/almorrisfoxpro ) ,Al discussed many of the basic aspects of how-to coyote hunting.

The story continues as Dan Coffman walks us through the hunt, step by step, play by play. But there's a twist. Things did not go exactly as planned. It wasn't the "as seen on tv" situation.

144 MICHAEL PITTS - Michael Waddell's Mentor, Fire Fighter, Master Bowman, Realtree and Part-Time Comedian

April 02, 2016 09:00 - 1 hour - 42.3 MB

You might have seen Realtree’s video of Michael Pitts asking some pretty overly straight forward questions of Michael Waddell, Nick Mundt, and Travis T-Bone Turner from this year’s ATA event. He is decidedly the thorn in Michael Waddell’s side and that one person by which no celebrity hunter wants to be interviewed. So, we tracked him down to find out who the real Michael Pitts is - turns out he’s an master bowman and bow technician, a full time fire fighter, a Realtree Prostaff, and now, pa...

143 CHAD EUBANKS - An Argument for High Fence Hunting, Timber Company Deer Leases, and Louisiana Public Hunting

March 26, 2016 09:00 - 1 hour - 36.6 MB

Chad Eubanks has spent a lifetime hunting in Louisiana, both on public and private leased timber company property. Chad's biggest pet peeve is when one hunter disrespects another. To avoid poachers and trespassers and those hunters that disrespect other hunters, Chad has turned his sights on high fence hunting. As many scream "high fence" on any big buck Facebook photo post, Chad has found sanctuary and a comfort in not what the fence keeps in, but what it keeps out. Chad discusses the pros ...

140 CAMERON COBLE - The Average Joe Blue-Collar Deer Hunter - Public Deer Hunting Strategies for Kansas, Iowa, Indiana, and Illinois

March 05, 2016 10:00 - 1 hour - 45.7 MB

Meet Cameron Coble, the self-proclaimed average-Joe blue-collar deer hunter. We believe that some of the best deer hunters in America aren't flashy, don't want to be, and they often keep to themselves. When we have an opportunity to speak to someone like Cameron, we jump on it. Hunters like Cameron often hold some of the most amazing perspectives on deer hunting and it's like tapping into a over-ripe maple tree filled with the nectar of unique deer tips and hunting strategies. Cameron focuse...

Nick Mundt is on the road 300 days out of the year. Technically, Nick is in the woods most of those days, either hunting or filming someone else hunting. Nick is a professional hunter, trained hunting guide, and a licensed barber- no joke - (Nick packs his scissors with him when traveling and will trim Michael Waddell's hair when necessary- it's always good to travel with your own barber). But how did Nick get to where he is today? Is having the freedom to be in the woods most of the year wo...

138 BIG AL MORRIS - Killin' Coyotes, Thinning the Pack, Helping the Deer Herd, FoxPro

February 20, 2016 10:30 - 1 hour - 39.4 MB

Coyotes can decimate a deer herd, especially buck fawns, according to scientific studies. You might think that killing all coyotes in the answer, but it's actually counterintuitive. Coyotes are extremely resilient and will self regulate, but over killing them can actually trigger a biological event resulting in high pup crops. Regardless, hammering coyote packs and reducing numbers in your deer hunting areas will only help your cause. Al Morris from FoxPro is an expert coyote hunter and help...

137 ADAM LEWIS - The Study of Sound in the Deer Woods, What Deer Hear, & How to Adjust Your Hunt

February 13, 2016 10:00 - 1 hour - 37.7 MB

As deer hunters, we often try to be quiet in the woods so as not to spook the deer, but why? What do we really know about the sounds we make? Not many studies have been done on sound in the deer woods, but Adam Lewis, a physics teacher by trade, is determined to change that. He created a company called Sound Barrier Hunting that researches and tests those sounds that hunters commonly make and the results may not be what you thought. How far does a metal on metal clang travel and will that pa...

It all started with an 8 megapixel camera and a flock of blackbirds. A good job and some savings later, Gem was on his way to purchase better video capture equipment for all of Gem's deer hunting, duck hunting, turkey hunting, or whatever Gem decides to hunt. Whatever is game may be, one thing is for sure, Gem's camera work is outstanding. He thinks of every hunting set in two ways, how can I get the shot (for the kill) and how can I get the shot (for the camera). And, oh by the way, he's on...

135 MIKE KAFKA - NFL Quarterback, Newbie Hunter, Deer Hunting Q & A for the BBR, and Super Bowl 50 Predictions

January 30, 2016 10:30 - 1 hour - 36.7 MB

Can the eyes of a quarterback indicate where the ball will be thrown? Is luck a random chance? Or is it actually the by-product of hard work and hours of preparation? Mike Kafka can tell you that hard work and preparation is the key to reaching higher levels of success and that it's the turn of the head, not the eyes, that will often indicate to a defender where the ball is going to be thrown. Mike, a newbie hunter, has spent several years in the National Football League playing the Quarterb...

The one thing that Taylor notes as the most important key to being a great hunter, Persistence (notice the capital "P"). Taylor says tha...

January 02, 2016 10:00 - 56 minutes - 27.3 MB

130 TODD MEAD - Deer Hunting the Adirondacks, Pen, Paper, Back Country Bucks, & Hunting with Diabetes

December 26, 2015 10:00 - 1 hour - 42.4 MB

Deer hunting the vastness inside the "Blue Line" of New York's 6 million acre Adirondack Mountain range is no joke. It consumes hunters, both literally and metaphorically. Those with poor navigational skills should think twice about hunting these mountains, but to Todd Mead, is all second nature. Todd has spent a lifetime hunting this tremendous forest where disappearing deep into the woods for days to hunt the back country bucks is no big deal. Todd's pack is loaded with gear, but perhaps t...

December 19, 2015 10:00 - 1 hour - 28.3 MB

To kill one 200 inch giant whitetail buck would be a buck of a lifetime for most hunters. Steve Esker has done it multiple times, four times to be exact (not to mention the numerous bucks that he's taken over 150 inches). Steve arguably has the most impressive big buck wall in the nation. He says it never gets old and it never gets boring, but it is exhausting, elaborate and extensive. It takes a team, time, and a big plan. We dig deep with Steve and find out what makes him tick and how he k...
