June is here and hopefully by now that means you've already dusted off the rods, reels, and tackle boxes, greased up the axles on the boat trailer and charged up the batteries. If you haven't we need to have a serious talk, and if you have, what did you forget on that first trip of the year? What did you have to pop into a bait shop for? What could you have just simply done better? As fun as they can be, fishing trips can also be a source of nightmares if not done properly. That's why this week, we're talking all about how to plan and prepare for a fishing trip!

This week, Andrew Wolfe returns to the show after a big tournament up in Door County and Pierce is also coming off of a fishing trip not too far away from where Andrew was. After a week of chasing big smallies, the guys thought it would be a good idea to share their tips on how they prepare for a fishing trip. In this episode, the guys break down how they choose a place to go whether it be based off of a species, area, skill they hope to hone, or historic body of water, and then break down how they use their resources to figure out what the fish are doing before they go. Then the guys talk about gear essentials, what they never leave home without, what's overrated, and finally, how they prepare mentally for a trip. This episode is a fun one with plenty of entertaining tangents, but even more good info. Enjoy!

Summer is finally here and with turkey season in the rearview and a few good months between now and hunting season, it's time to start thinking about how to prepare for fall. While that typically includes thinking about where you'll be hunting, what gear you need to replace, and slinging some arrows in the backyard, one of the most important things we can work on is training ourselves mentally and physically for the months to come. That's exactly why this week we're talking to Brian Austin, owner and founder of Beast Mode Archery Challenge!

Brian is a lifelong Wisconsinite from the Driftless region, who has a passion for fitness and, of course, bowhunting. He holds a physical education degree from UW Platteville, which he's used to create fitness programs specifically for bowhunters, and build Beast Mode ArcheryChallenge: where archery, fitness, and bowhunting intersect! Brian shares his insight on what outdoor fitness really looks like, and some of the best ways to build health, strength and mobility for hunting. Then the guys break down the phenomenal events Brian and his team at BMAC. From 3D shoots designed to test your body and your aim, to the grueling BMAC Endurance Challenge, Quiver Shiver, and BMAC Games, that will give you the ultimate physical and mental challenge, Beast Mode Archery Challenge has an event that's perfect to prepare you for the season ahead while having a ton of fun along the way!

As quickly as it arrived, turkey season is almost gone! These six weeks never seem to last long enough, even though it might seem like time is dragging when you find yourself sitting in a silent woods, just praying to hear a gobble in your direction. Hopefully none of you found yourselves in that situation (for long at least) this spring, but with one week left to go, it's a sprint to the finish in the turkey woods.

This week, Pierce is joined for a second time by Drew Schleim, host of The Predator Podcast, and although Drew is a big time coyote killer, no turkey is safe from him either! The guys share stories from this spring including an hours-old story of Pierce tagging a bird with minutes to go in his hunt, and Drew helping others fill their tags while also filling multiple tags of his own here in Wisconsin and also South Dakota! Drew shares some stories and lessons learned from his time in South Dakota, how he managed to kill his first two Merriam's turkeys, and also shares some fantastic tips for punching a late season tag here in the badger state. It's a great conversation that will leave you itching to get out in the turkey woods one last time!
