Hunting season is here, and the Fall Obsession team has hit the ground running! We look forward to bringing some "in-house" episodes to you in the coming weeks; highlighting some of our Staff's hunts and experiences from the 2024 whitetail season. There is no better place to start than with the man who keeps the Fall Obsession Staffer program running smoothly; our Staff Manager Todd Sellon! Todd spends a lot of time managing and hunting his home farm in Michigan, and this year the hard work has already been paying off. Todd had the opportunity to punch some tags early this year, and joins us to discuss his own hunting strategies and tactics, some key gear and scouting tools he uses, and much more! This is a great podcast for all blue collar hunters with a fellow outdoorsman who embraces and capitalizes on the same opportunities we all face from season to season.

This week we are joined by East Coast Trev, a founder and co-host of The Outdoor Drive Podcast! Trev is as down to earth as they come, and he and Sam dive right in for a wholesome conversation about authenticity, intentionality and relationships in the outdoor podcast world. Both share what some may call a more vulnerable side of their shows and experiences, and definitely give listeners a peek behind the curtain to a side of outdoor podcasts many don't see or realize. The guys talk whitetails, hunting season, big bucks, and the moments that truly matter looking back on previous seasons. We have certainly enjoyed these recent collaborations with Trev and Steve from The Outdoor Drive, and look forward to many more! One things for sure, what you see (or hear) is what you get and these episodes will make you feel like you're having a conversation in hunting camp with these guys!

Having returned from the mountains of Central Idaho, Sam sits down to spend some time reflecting on one of his most incredible, epic and intense hunting trips to date. Invited to join friends Galen, Chris and Ben for the 2024 season, the crew took their horseback pack trip 25 miles into the backcountry searching for elk in untouched country. Last week in episode 208 the four men shared the story with us from around the fire in Elk Camp. This week Sam dives into greater details throughout the trip; talking specifics about the hunt and the experience, including the mental and physical challenges he was not entirely prepared for. He also shares the story of their adventure getting off the mountain, and how the crew was awake for over 24 hours on the last day in an effort to overcome some risky challenges and make it home safely. The Steep and Deep country is both beautiful and brutal.

This episode takes us deep into the mountains of Central Idaho with show host Sam, and friends Galen, Chris and Ben. Earlier in 2024 this crew packed in 25 miles on horseback for what would turn out to be an epic and extreme backcountry experience! Challenged by difficult access and extreme terrain, this crew overcame many challenges during a week in the "steep and deep" country. This podcast comes directly from Elk Camp, recorded around the fire on the last evening in the mountains. The men reflect on the week, the highs and the lows, their appreciation for the pack animals, and above all the highlight of the trip when they called in a bull on day 5, playing him into archery range and the successful moments that followed! This is an experience these men will never forget, and we are happy to have you all join them!

With November quickly approaching, all eyes are on Colorado and Proposition 127 which would prohibit the hunting of Mountain Lions, Bobcats and Lynx in the State. Anti-hunting extremists have pushed their way to the ballot box in one of hunting's most desirable States in an effort to suppress hunting through the uneducated voter. This "Ballot Box Biology" is devastating to any Fish and Game Department, and to hunters and any outdoors men and women who are actually educated in and responsible for carrying out proper wildlife management efforts. Many wildlife and conservation organizations have been diligently fighting this fight, with C.R.W.M. and Dan Gates leading the charge. Dan joins us for this episode to share the many issues that Proposition 127 holds, the long term detrimental impact it would have if passed, why cat hunting is a good thing, and much more. This is the line in the sand between hunters and the anti's, and a Proposition like this passing could cause a domino effect to other game species or other States. Even if you are not from Colorado, every hunter should be paying attention to this. Listen to this episode, share it with anyone you know in Colorado, and help educate others on why they should vote NO on Proposition 127.

For our 200th Podcast Episode, Sam is joined by a fellow outdoorsman and podcaster Johnny Mack from Soul Seekers! Both Johnny and Sam have developed a brotherhood and a bond through hunting and podcasting; sharing similar experiences, successes and struggles while hosting award-nominated shows. These two men talk about the journey; from day one until now and moments of both trial and achievement along the way. They discuss their own personal development through hunting and their shows over the years, and how it has made them better men in a world of weakness and uncertainty. Hosting a show, building a brand and managing an organization in the hunting industry takes, consistency, resiliency and a strong mental game. But we all remember there is no effort without error and shortcoming, and these two are the men in the arena.

Jesse Johnson is one of the greatest woodsmen we know! Local to north Texas, Jesse has blazed trails into public land hunting for whitetail and hogs with two favored weapons of choice; a traditional bow and an old-school Flintlock Muzzleloader. Jesse returns as a guest on the podcast to share with us once again his passion for public land and traditional bow hunting. We talk trad archery, bow and arrow builds, and the grind of hunting public with a stick and string. Jesse also shares with us two of his most recent memorable non-resident hunts for Colorado elk with a muzzleloader and Canadian black bear with a trad bow. Jesse's passion for the outdoors is contagious, and over the years has peaked many of our own interests in picking up an old-school stick and string and getting after it! One thing's for sure, Jesse has developed a set of skills that set him apart, no matter if he's rocking the long bow or the ol' smoke pole!

We typically steer clear of politics on our podcast. However we do believe there is a time and place for such "political" discussions when it comes to our rights as hunters and outdoors men and women; specific to over-regulating, voter-based bans and a disregard for conservation and management research and statistics by States and Commissions. We believe game regulations have their place as long as long as ethics, conservation and education have been appropriately considered and applied. In today's world, that line continues to become blurred more and more by Fish and Game departments caving to uneducated agendas and voter-based decisions. This week, we unpack all of this with guest Mike Behrens; specifically looking at recent events including the ban of wild hog hunting in Kentucky, the very first mountain lion trapping ban in Texas, wolf and mountain lion events in Colorado, and more! Some may call this conversation "controversial", but we believe it is every hunter's responsibility to weigh in on the decisions made by their own Fish and Game Commissions, and to pay attention to other State's around them. The American Outdoors Man and Woman has a voice; don't be scared to use it.

The First Responder Community always will be near and dear to us, and many times in the past we have shed light on our first responders through this show; tying in to our love and passion for the outdoors. However this episode hits a little closer to home. Joined by guest Gray Schneider from the Season of Stories organization (S.O.S.), our host Sam shares a mutual connection to Gray through a North Texas Firefighter named Wade Cannon. Wade passed away in 2022 from occupational colon cancer at the age of 31; leaving Gray and others with a burning passion to take action. Inspired by Wade, Gray and other's love for the outdoors, Season of Stories is a project that will initially take us on an adventure across North America this fall in dozens of waterfowl hunting camps with industry influencers using heirloom gear and a leather journal documenting the memories we all live and breathe for. The proceeds of S.O.S.'s project are dedicated to the mission of ensuring pre-cancer health screenings for as many first responders as possible. Tune in and hear the inspiring origins to this project, as Gray and Sam take us from start to finish through the story of Wade Cannon and the legacy that follows him.

We are joined this week by long-time outdoor industry producer and show host Melissa Bachman! Melissa is the host of the Winchester Deadly Passion show on Sportsman Channel, and her journey into outdoor television is a display of nothing less than hard work. As one of the very first female icons in the hunting industry, her passion for hunting and the outdoors was found at a young age, and her persistence and work ethic brought her the opportunity to begin her production journey behind a camera during the rise of outdoor TV. After years of long days, late nights, and working hard to make the most of every opportunity she had, Melissa's shift from behind to in front of the camera began. She has become one of the most influential people in the outdoor world, and continues to be an inspiration to both outdoors men and women!
