Will Brantley sits down with Mark Hayes, design engineering manager at Mathews Archery, to talk about the new-for-2023 Phase 4. The flagship compound is a continuation of the CrossCentric Cam series, but with some major differences. Hayes says it's the quietest bow Mathews has ever built. 

Laran Kaplan's big buck story ran a few weeks ago on the Realtree Rack Report, and it quickly became a reader favorite.

Host Will Brantley sat down with Laran Kaplan for the full story in Kaplan's own words. 

Season 3 of Realtree's Outpost debuts with Will Brantley and Mike Hanback talking about old-school scouting tactics like long-range glassing, monster bucks hidden in garages for decades, and why Indiana has become the nation's best-kept secret for giant whitetails. 

Host Will Brantley sits down with Kentucky turkey hunter Jack Canady, who's been hunting Kentucky turkeys since the '60s.

Will Brantley and Miles Fedinec recap a recent turkey trip to Texas's North Zone, where the weather was terrible. Following a massive wildfire a few weeks prior, the guys were faced with heavy fog followed by 90-degree heat and gale-force winds. Through all of it, though, the turkeys were going crazy, and some key lessons were learned about hunting Rio Grande gobblers in particular.   

This week we dig into the nitty gritty of some exciting turkey research happening right now in Alabama, spearheaded by Auburn University's Dr. Will Gulsby. Brantley and Dr. Gulsby discuss sound meter monitoring to learn the effects of habitat and hunting pressure on gobbling, GPS tracking hens during nesting season, and the importance of analyzing gobbler sperm counts. Plus, we talk predator control and coyote trapping on the beach.
