    EP 541 | Did Prime just make the best bow?

    What happens when Prime goes back to the drawing board and builds a bow with one goal in mind: helping you aim better and hold steadier? The brand-new Prime Hold is here, and we're going deep with Brian Anderson from Prime G5 to break down everything that went into this new bow. From a completely redesigned grip and new Syntrac cam system to the integrated features and the technology behind its improved aiming performance, we're leaving no stone unturned. Plus, Brian tells the story of his incre

    EP 540 | Are We Only As Good As The Deer We Hunt? W / Bobby Kennedy

    You can kill a giant Michigan buck and still be left wondering if you’d make the same decision all over again. Bobby Kennedy joins me on this episode of The Fall Podcast to break down the slammer of a Michigan buck he killed this season and a question that’s going to get a lot more interesting when Michigan transitions to a one-buck state: Would he shoot that same deer next year? That conversation opens the door to a bigger discussion about hunting, perspective, and how we measure success. Are

    SZN 26 | The First Shooter & The Final Stretch of October

    I finally encountered my first shooter buck of the season, and it nearly turned into one of those hunts that changes everything. After several mornings in the stand and plenty of time trying to piece together what the deer were doing, things are starting to come together. In this episode, I’m breaking down that encounter, recapping my latest hunts, and sharing what I’m seeing in the woods as we head into the final stretch of October. The scrapes are heating up, bucks are starting to move, and I

    EP 539 | Trust the process. The Last 10 Days of October. W/ Mitch Day

    The final 10 days of October can change everything, but only if you know how to hunt them. This week on The Fall Podcast, I’m joined by Mitch Day from Prime Archery to break down bow tuning and, more importantly, the tactics and mindset that can make a difference during the final stretch of October whitetail hunting. We talk about getting your bow dialed in, making smart equipment decisions, and having confidence in your setup when it matters most. Mitch also shares the story of a challenging Oh

    Last Blood | EP 3 SZN 2 - "Mace The Ace"

    First track of the 2026 Michigan archery season! Mace and I knocked the rust off, followed the sign, and hit the trail hard. The season is off to a good start… tune in to find out how it ends!

    EP 538 | Don't make my mistakes

    Sometimes, the biggest thing keeping us from killing a buck isn’t the deer, the weather, or the wind. It’s our own minds. This season, I’ve caught myself falling victim to analysis paralysis. I overthink access, wind direction, deer movement, and every little detail until I convince myself not to hunt an area at all. Even on my own farm, I find reasons to stay out of spots that might actually be worth hunting. In this episode, I’m talking honestly about the mental battle that comes with trying

    SZN 26 | My First Recurve Buck… Or So I Thought

    I finally got my first real opportunity at a buck with my recurve—and what happened after the arrow hit is a reminder that not every hunt ends the way we hope. Season 26 is officially underway, and in this episode I’m giving you a real-time update on my 2026 whitetail season. I break down the hunt from start to finish, my recurve setup, the 15-yard opportunity, the shot, and the five-plus-hour tracking job with Taylor and Mace that followed. I’m also talking early October deer movement, acorns

    EP 537 | Acorns Are Falling… Now What? | Early Season Whitetails

    Early October can be one of the most overlooked opportunities of the entire whitetail season—but when the acorns start dropping, the deer can change their patterns fast. In this episode, Arron sits down with Alex to talk about preparing for the early season, finding deer as food sources begin to change, and the importance of putting the pieces together before hunting pressure ramps up. They break down this year’s heavy red and shingle oak crop, how it’s influencing bedding and travel, and how t

    Last Blood | EP 1 SZN 2 - Borrowing a dog isn't easy - w/ Bryan Meyering & Evan Haverkamp

    Last Blood SZN 2 is back! The crew is around the round table talking all things bow season — including the harsh reality that we might be a little more unprepared than we’d like to admit. With the 2026 bow season right around the corner, we break down what needs to get done, what we should’ve done already, and whether we’re actually ready to hit the woods. We also sit down with Mace to talk about tracking during the 2026 Youth Hunt, share some stories and lessons from the field, and dive into pl

    EP 535 | The Back Door to Big Bucks: River Access & Public Land with Lucas Cayko

    What if the best way to get to a big public-land buck… is by boat? In this episode, I sit down with Lucas to break down his unique approach to hunting river systems and the mature bucks that live in them. Lucas uses boats 90% of the time, staging them at different points along the river so he can quietly slip in the “back door,” avoid other hunters, and take advantage of river thermals and natural barriers to control his scent. We get deep into how he scouts these properties, from finding oxbows

    EP 534 | Breaking His Own Rules to Kill a North Dakota Buck

    What do you do when the hunting strategy you normally swear by suddenly puts a mature North Dakota buck in front of you? This week, Arron sits down with Dustin to break down his recent North Dakota whitetail hunt—a trip filled with pressure, limited access, close encounters, and one unexpected trail-camera photo that changed everything. With non-residents unable to hunt public land for the first 9½ days, Dustin and Wade had to get creative, scouting for non-posted private ground and figuring o

    EP 533 | The Quietest Hunting Gear ASIO Has Ever Made | Joe Miles

    After hunting the same South Carolina buck for five years, Joe Miles finally got his chance at the 150-inch deer—and put an arrow through him. In this episode, I sit down with Joe Miles, owner of ASIO Gear, to talk about that hunt, the lessons that came from chasing one deer for five years, and the thought that goes into building some of the quietest hunting clothing on the market. Joe breaks down the new Stealth Jacket and Pant, including why ASIO designed the line specifically for those dead-c

    EP 532 | I'm challenging all of the listeners this fall

    Sometimes, the biggest change in your hunting has nothing to do with how you hunt. Arron and Nate sit down to recap their Iowa hunting adventure, diving into the highs, lows, and everything that goes into hunting while trying to capture it all on camera. They talk about the importance of being present, putting the obsession with inches aside, and simply enjoying where your feet are. They also break down the realities of filming hunts, why a cameraman has to think like a producer instead of a hun

    EP 531 | 9 Sits. 3 Bucks. What’s His Secret?

    How do you kill three good bucks in just nine sits? Dustin Moll might be one of the most efficient whitetail hunters I know. Dustin is a Minnesota whitetail hunter who spends his seasons chasing bucks on public land across multiple states, and it seems like everywhere he goes, he’s able to find success fast. Last year alone, he killed three whitetail bucks in just nine sits. What makes Dustin’s approach so interesting is how simple and intentional it is. He’s a humble guy who has figured out h

    EP 530 | SCENT MISTAKES COST BUCKS

    What if the deer scent you’ve been spraying all over your scrape is actually telling deer to stay away? In this episode, I sit down with Warren and Easton from Raised Scents to break down what deer are actually communicating through their natural glandular scents—and why most of us have been using scent the wrong way for years. We get into the story behind Raised Hunting and how the family went from a TV show to building their own scent company, why they believe real glandular scents are differe

    EP 529 | THE MOON IS WRONG? How a 221" Buck Changed Everything

    What if the biggest buck of your life could show up on the one day you’d normally tell yourself NOT to hunt? Adam Hays killed his 221-inch Kansas giant in brutal 85–90 degree weather, on the first night of a Red Moon—and that experience completely changed the way he looks at lunar deer movement. In this episode of The Fall Podcast, Adam and I dive deep into the Moon Guide, Red Moon predictions, and the controversial debate over whether the moon actually influences mature buck movement.
