It might go a bit against the mainstream line but hear me out. You don’t have to suffer to kill deer. Sometimes being the tough guy gets you an extra half hour that results in a kill but lets be honest with ourselves more times than not being comfortable works better.

This week we are joined by Kenny Robison from Outta Luck Outdoors. Kenny has set a goal for himself that I think deep down inside we all secretly want to achieve some day and he’s hammering away at it. Kenny has set the generous goal of hunting all 50 states in an effort to spread awareness of how the outdoors can help veterans and those suffering …

It’s deer season and if you hunt, you’ve done it. What is IT you might ask? Well that would be missing. It doesn’t even faze me in the duck blind, or when chasing a coyote but when it comes to a deer, for some reason it feels personal. This is the first episode I’ve brought on a guest and i might do more in the future but lets all sit back and enjo…

I absolutely love it when former guests as well as listeners send guests my way and that is exactly how we ended up in touch with Mike Coleman of Kodiak Ranch Outfitters. Mike is a Florida born native living in Tennessee and hunting those western mountains and that's mostly what we talked about. He has most definitely inspired me to head out west i…

So the question this week is do deer have the ability to apply quick-witted intelligence? Or are they simply reacting to their environment in a way that has repeatedly had a positive outcome in the past? I think you know the answer because lets be honest if deer were smart they wouldn't travel in a pattern. UPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/ UP…

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 b…

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 …

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 str…

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. UPO…

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…

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 ma…

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 thro…

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 alig…

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. …

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, …

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 everyt…

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/ U…

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 c…

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.

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 …

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.

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 …

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 h…

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…

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/under…

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…

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…

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 w…

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?

I don’t know about you but I have a few movies that I like to watch when I’m missing hunting season and definitely have a playlist of songs that I run through that put me in state of mind to get out in the woods and grind it out!

When I started hunting, the minerals we bought were typically that big red 50lb block salt lick you could find at any feed and hardware store and it worked.it worked for sure but a lot has changed over the years in terms of delivery but the one thing that remains consistent is how important making sure you’re providing the deer on your property all…

Have you ever sat in the stand and wondered if you were a good hunting buddy? Maybe you sat there and tried to think of what to look for in a hunting buddy and what to avoid. Either way we’re going to cover some green flags and red flags you should see right off the bat in a new hunting partner and maybe identify some in yourself. UPO Gear & Such- …

Considering I was raised in the flatwoods of Florida, when I think of fishing in the saltwater I really don’t think of anywhere else but the state I call home. However, the ocean is vast and the fisheries are connected maybe more than you realize. Some fish even migrate similar to ducks down the flyways in the fall. This week we sat down with Steve…

You just got busted 25ft up a tree, and you're wearing the latest and greatest in look like a bush camo technology! There's no way that deer saw you! Right? Because the camo pattern makes or breaks your hunt right? This week we’re doing a short breakdown of deer vision and the most likely and unlikely reasons you got busted. UPO Gear & Such- https:…

It’s not often we get to sit down with a retired game warden and hear his tales from a Florida that seems so far distant in the past, a wilder place full of flat woods and swamps. A time before all the orange groves and pastures were sold off to become houses, before history and heritage were built over. This week we’re joined by retired FWC Office…

This week we’re talking about outdoors myths we all believed but just aren’t true. We’re going to focus on some commonly believed myths in hunting, fishing, and the outdoors, where they came from, why they’ve stuck around, and the real truth behind them.

I don’t know about y’all but I’m ready to be back next to a fire with some good buddies in deer camp. Cold drink in my hand on a cool fall evening, talking about the day's hunt and making a game plan for tomorrow. Somewhere in the hardwoods. You know what I mean? If hunting buddies and a place to gather and call camp are the two main things missing…

If you’re here you have likely had a less than desirable outcome while using a muzzle loader. Maybe you can’t get a grouping smaller than a basketball at 50yds, maybe you had one not go off when it should’ve. There’s an answer to those issues and we’re going to dive into them.

Hold on tight for another topic that stirs the pot for some, fresh off the back of talking bear hunting we’re sitting down with Steve Miller and Larry Harvey of Save Rodman Reservoir. A Brief overview would be that Rodman reservoir was built in 1968 when the Kirkpatrick dam was built across the Ocklawaha river as part of the larger cross Florida Ba…

When you think about a military base, you might think of tanks and machine guns or jets and warships. My question for you is, where does hunting rank on that list?
