EP 623: The New Leica GEOVID MAX – The Most Sophisticated Binos on the Market When it comes to gear and equipment for mountain and backcountry hunting, regardless of the species you pursue, it’s a short list of items that truly make a difference season after season. Those with experience know that your boots and your pack are the most critical. You can get it done with an old rifle. The latest bow may or may not be worth the expenditure. There are more apparel and camo options than ever before. But binoculars are on that short list of truly crucial gear. They’re likely always on you, right on your chest. Drop your pack to make a stalk and those binos stay with you. Scanning tight cover hoping to catch a tine? They’re in your hands. Doing a first pass of a basin before pulling out your spotter? Out come the binos. In terms of the equipment we use the most over a hunt, a season, or many seasons, binos are very high on the list.

EP 622: The Backcountry Stove System Truly Built for Hunters – Rough Ridge Stove Co. The list of gear that dominates attention in our space is long.

EP 621: A Lifetime of Strength with Jeff Sokol 09/03/2026

EP 621: A Lifetime of Strength with Jeff Sokol There are a lot of ways to get fit, and most methods will get some form of results. But if you’re looking to build the strength and capacity to handle long days in the field, for days on end, and want to be able to confidently tackle rugged country year after year, you need to choose wisely.

EP 620: It’s Not How Big It Is, It’s How You Use It with Colton Bagnoli 08/19/2026

EP 620: It’s Not How Big It Is, It’s How You Use It with Colton Bagnoli When it comes to really getting to the bottom of anything new, exciting or interesting in the shooting or ballistics space, as it relates to hunting, it’s a pretty short list of people you can trust to give you the straight goods...especially when it comes to actual hunting experience. “Pap” is one of those sources. Some time is spent discussing yet another trip to Africa, and why his passion for African hunting is even more intense than it was after his last trip and then the conversation transitions to one of the truly hot topics in hunting ballistics at present: the proven performance of very fast, small diameter bullets on an increasingly wide range of game animals. @papwinkle --------------------------- TRUSTED PARTNERS: For over 100 years has set the standard for premium optics.

EP 615: Capability Over Marketing with Mr. G of Spartan Precision Equipment Are we living through an era where the ability to market a product has overtaken the importance of that product’s ability to perform in the field? We are constantly being sold new, better, and more technologically advanced tools. But do they perform when it matters? Do they live up to the hype? Do they actually make you a better or more competent hunter or shooter? Or are they just incredibly well marketed? As the founder of , Mr. G has spent the last number of years growing Spartan from an upstart with a single product to a meaningful player within the industry. Not through a giant marketing budget. Not by leveraging the influencer of the month or year. But by staying focused on delivering the best products possible for the end-user. @spartan_mrg @spartanprecision @spartan_operations --------------------------- TRUSTED PARTNERS: For over 100 years has set the standard for premium optics.

EP 607: The Foundation of Backcountry Performance – Foot & Ankle Function 03/27/2026

EP 607: The Foundation of Backcountry Performance – Foot & Ankle Function Your feet and ankles are the foundation of everything you do in the mountains — and when they’re not up to the task of a mountain or backcountry hunt, your new jacket, bow or rifle won’t keep you going. As we head into a new season, this is the time to start paying attention to that foundation. In this episode, I revisit a deep dive into how your feet, boots, and insoles actually interact — and why simply buying new boots or adding an insole doesn’t necessarily solve the real underlying problems. It’s easy to spend hundreds, even thousands, of dollars chasing comfort without addressing the root issues. This episode will help you understand what actually matters — and how to get it right heading into the season. This is a re-release of the most comprehensive solo episode I’ve done on this topic. --------------------------- DEALS & PARTNERS: For over 100 years has set the standard for premium optics.

EP 604: Passion, Precision and Maximizing Potential with Shawn Melland 02/20/2026

EP 604: Passion, Precision and Maximizing Potential with Shawn Melland If you’re a serious elk hunter, odds are you’ve heard of Shawn Melland. If not, you’ll have a hard time believing what this guy has achieved over the past 10 years. Shawn has taken 8 bulls in 10 years, with an average score of 375”. Each and every one DIY. As he puts it, he lives and breathes bowhunting giant bulls. He’s also a former NFL linebacker and a guy that still trains like a professional athlete, even at 40 years old. Shawn’s perspective on how his pro athlete mindset has impacted his ability to have the success he’s had in the field is the kind of material that will change how you approach your hunting goals. This episode focuses primarily on what it means to be a complete athlete, or better yet, a complete human, operating at his or her maximum potential, and how hunting and athletic performance are inextricably linked. If you care about performing at your best in the backcountry, and life in general, this is a can’t miss episode.

EP 603: Capital “H” Hunting with Craig Francis of Ultraview Archery This episode features Craig Francis, the VP of Brand at , and a guy whose content, perspectives, and opinions are the furthest from mundane. Craig’s been in the hunting creative space for over 10 years and has worked with numerous brands over that timeframe, many that are household names in our community. He’s a writer, photographer, and one of the more capable storytellers in the game. Topics covered include the tension between building a brand that stands for something while also keeping an eye on the bottom line, what capital “H” hunting means, and of course, an inside look at the story behind and what’s on the horizon for this upstart company that’s trying to build a business that is focused very simply on helping you write and tell better stories. NOTABLE QUOTES: “That’s literally the whole game plan. We got nothing else going on here. Great stuff. Take it to the field. Write your own story. Share it with your friends.

Jared is a guy worth following (if you don’t already) and does an incredible job of sharing his experiences in a way that’s sincere and meant to help anyone level up in their hunting and shooting pursuits. NOTABLE QUOTES: “Figure out what it is that gets you excited and is going to give you a good story that you wanna tell and do that. Don’t worry about what I do or anybody else does.” @jaredmillermt --------------------------- DEALS & PARTNERS: For over 100 years has set the standard for premium optics.

EP 599: De-Listing Wolves & Conservation Battles with John Stallone of HOWL For Wildlife 01/09/2026

EP 599: De-Listing Wolves & Conservation Battles with John Stallone of HOWL For Wildlife For the first show of 2026, the focus is on current conversation trends and the ongoing fight to preserve the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. John has been on the podcast before, and as a key leader at , he brings a ton of experience to the show, both in the field and in fighting conservation battles across North America. A crucial and timely topic he covers is the current opportunity to have wolves de-listed federally (in the U.S.) so that states and regional wildlife managers can do what’s right for their jurisdictions and the wildlife and people in those jurisdictions. NOTABLE QUOTES: “You can spend $2,000 on a bow each year, you can buy a $7,000 long range rifle, but you can’t spend $30 a year to protect what it is that you spent all this money to do in the first place?” @howl_org @johnstallone --------------------------- DEALS & PARTNERS: For over 100 years has set the standard for premium optics.
