EPISODE #100 — 100 Proof Whitetails Podcast
We made it to 100 episodes, and tonight we're celebrating the people, stories, deer, drinks, and absolute nonsense that got us here. Its Ben Nate and Brian Tonight What started as Whitetails & Whiskey on September 7, 2022, eventually became the 100 Proof Whitetails Podcast on March 29, 2023. Since then, Ben and Nate have sat down Wednesday after Wednesday to talk whitetails, hunting strategy, habitat management, land, bourbon, life, and whatever else happens to come up once the microphones turn on. Along the way, we've been fortunate enough to have an incredible group of guests pull up a chair — Derrick Tuttle, Gerry Dilf, Tyler Breen, Trent Snyder, Brandon Colbert, Kyle Conley, Jimmy O'Connor, Larry Smith, Clayton Paddock, and many more. We've talked with local hunting buddies, friends and family, land managers, outdoor businesses, hunting companies, pro walleye anglers, semi-professional reloaders, habitat guys, hardcore deer hunters, and some characters who probably shouldn't have been handed a microphone in the first place. There have been giant bucks, hunting camp stories, habitat projects, food plots, land management debates, fishing stories, bourbon reviews, hunting strategy, real estate conversations, missed opportunities, successful recoveries, terrible predictions, questionable decisions, and more laughs than we could ever count. But Episode isn't just about looking backward. It's about appreciating the community that's grown around this little podcast and looking ahead to the next 100 episodes. Tonight, we're revisiting some of our favorite guests and moments, talking about how the show has evolved, sharing some behind-the-scenes stories, and probably getting sidetracked more than once. And because it's Episode , we're celebrating properly with giveaways, plenty of laughs, a few pours, stories from the past 100 episodes, and LIVE Q&A throughout the show. To every guest who has sat down with us, every company that's supported us, everyone who's shared an episode, commented, asked a question, busted our chops, or simply cracked a drink and listened along — thank you. 💯 episodes down. Here's to the next 💯. 🥃 Grab your favorite pour. 🦌 Pull up a chair. 🎙️ Join Ben & Nate LIVE Wednesday at 7 PM for Episode of the 100 Proof Whitetails Podcast. Whitetails. Habitat. Hunting. Bourbon. Good people. Good stories. And absolutely no guarantee we'll stay on topic.
