I think you could probably go back and track the stages of grief, probably that is what I went through. But I think if you do it right, you end up at acceptance. And that's where I ended up. And that's not to say that I've fully accepted the idea that the golden toad is extinct. Personally, I do still hold out hope that it could still be out there in those forests." - Trevor Ritland This conversation is with Trevor Ritland, who—along with his twin brother Kyle—authored The Golden Toad . The book chronicles their remarkable journey into Costa Rica’s cloud forest, once home to hundreds of brilliant golden toads that would emerge for just a few weeks each year—until, one day, they vanished without a trace. What began as a search for a lost species soon became something much more profound: a confrontation with ecological grief, a meditation on hope, and a powerful call to protect the natural world while we still can.

Dropping Pins: Cody Huhn 1:31:59

vor 13 Tagen1:31:59

1:31:59

In this episode Derek talks with public land mad man, Cody Huhn. Cody was a successful buck hunter in lower Michigan before diving into his whitetail career with an internship with Midwest Whitetail in the land of the giants, Iowa. Cody has since transitioned to learning everything he possibly could about the public hunting grounds of south central Iowa and documenting his journey on his YouTube channel “Public Land Whitetails”. We talk about a good variety of whitetail stories and anecdotes from observations over the years, but the main takeaway from each story, the link between most of Cody’s biggest bucks, is that each buck was using the wind to absolute greatest advantage. Cody found how and where he would be able to successfully give the Buck the wind advantage but still be able to kill. In most cases this required Cody to do something DIFFERENT. Something strange, weird, onorthodoxy, even a bit crazy. Cody tells a number of stories, all of which relate to how the wind is the #1 factor that keeps big bucks alive. This is a great episode and Cody’s knowledge pours out as he explains much of the things he has been blessed to experience in spending nearly everyday of season in the field over the past 5 seasons.

Dropping Pins: Only One November 1st Per Year 1:24:43

1:24:43

In this episode, Derek sits down with our fearless leader, Eric Clark’s cousin, Jeremy Clark. Jeremy is someone Eric has looked up to and admired as a deer hunter for several years. Eric has long talked about Jeremy’s effectiveness in the deer woods and was thrilled to get this conversation lined up. Jeremy starts off discussing his first bow kill on a beautiful P&Y buck, which came together all too easily. This fast and successful start to Jeremy’s hunting career led him to quickly focus on holding out for trophy bucks. As a result, he lost many opportunities to hone and practice the finer skills of pulling off successful shots and kills with archery equipment. Then Jeremy dives into some tactics he uses on private ground, where he has permission to hunt, vs. the public marshes he hunts. He discusses how and why he uses trail cameras on both public and private and the type of set ups he uses to put himself in the chips. Jeremy shares a story of a giant 10-point he took this past season with his longbow. His story illustrates not only how to effectively set up to intercept cruising bucks searching for does, but also the importance of being confident in your set up. In Jeremy’s story, he had originally chosen a tree to hunt out of during off season scouting, but after setting up for his hunt, he quickly realized that there was a better option just 30-40 yards away, so without hesitation, he pulled his stand and made the move. This move shortly led to a close encounter and an even closer shot on a mature buck. Jeremy also talks about tactics for getting into deer on public ground and not wasting your time hunting spots that aren’t “in it”. He lays down some great ideas and thoughts on scouting your way into the woods and knowing when to hang and spend time. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…

We finally got Dillon Deitz on the show, and we spiraled straight into bear season heartbreak, spiritual introspection, and some of the funniest roasts he's done as a practicing comedian. Dillon the brains and banter behind Elk Don’t Exist , a counterculture hunting brand born from missed shots, public land grind, and the realization that pretending to be a badass makes hunting a lot less fun (for him). We dive into his Montana bear season, the mental game of hunting, and how being honest about your screw-ups, your faith, and your potentially offensive jokes is the real badge of honor in the woods. We also get into: Why humor makes hunting better What it’s like building a brand that doesn’t pretend to be elite The hilarious (and sometimes unhinged) comments Dillon fields online Stoicism, Jesus, and that one time a homeless guy humbled an emperor The power of self-deprecation, Deer Camp comedy, and just being yourself If you’ve ever missed a shot, doubted your place in the hunting world, or wondered if your goofy, camo-wearing self belongs , you’re not alone. You’re in damn good company among our two brands. 🎧 Elk Don’t Exist apparel: www.elkdontexist.com 📺 Watch the full conversation and join live next time: Tuesdays @ 6PM CST 💥 Presented by Nosler : Use code OHP at checkout!

Meet Whitney Trammel, the strength coach-turned-elkchaser behind the Wild Strength Podcast, from the Okayest Podcast Network. We kick things off with her move from Texas to Colorado. Whitney breaks down why real backcountry balance isn’t built on a BOSU ball, how a bit of gym grit can keep your heart steady when the buck steps into range, and why she’d rather solo-hunt than rely on guides. Along the way, we tackle identity, social media stereotypes, imposter syndrome after a failed season, and why tying self-worth to your harvest can backfire. Whitney even shares her top beginner tips and why strength—mental and physical—is the secret sauce for every hunter. This episode is equal parts hunting tales, workout wisdom, and honest takes on what it means to be truly “wild strong.” Presented by Nosler : Use code OHP for 20% OFF Learn more about your ad choices.

Turkey season is over. Let's talk about deer. This episode is all about summer deer prep. What to prioritize, how to make the best use of your summer, and why trail cams can be more misleading than helpful if you don’t know what you’re doing. Eric and Derek get into summer bedding, aggressive moves, buck beds, rub lines, and the high-stakes game of sneaking into a setup without blowing your whole season with one wrong move. There’s also a canoe, a questionable rowboat journey, and a bunch of near-death parenting moments. Grab a cold one, this one’s a ride. Presented by Nosler: www.nosler.com, code OHP for 20% off.

Fight For Public Land 1:04:28

We went to turkey camp, drank way too much KwikTrip coffee, tested some awesome Gerber camping gear, got our butts kicked by gobblers, and had fun fishing for trout in the driftless regions of Wisconsin. It was awesome. But in between all that, we hit on something serious. Congress is quietly trying to push through a bill that would sell off 500,000 acres of public land in Utah and Nevada. Not great. We break down what’s going on, why it matters to anyone who loves the outdoors, and how to speak up before it’s gone for good. Also in this episode: Foam Fest updates, archery league talk, and one of us nearly chokes live on air. Classic Okayest chaos. Presented by: Nosler --Use code OHP at checkout and save 20%.

From hunter harassment to Maryland deer camp stories, this one's a mix of music, mayhem, and making memories in the stand.

Why Hunters Hang it Up 1:10:22

1:10:22

Why Hunters Are Hanging It Up and Why Some Never Start What causes someone to walk away from something they once loved, or never try it in the first place? This week, we explore the many reasons hunters stop hunting. We cover everything from private land pressure and public land overcrowding to regulation overload, rising gear costs, social stigma, urban sprawl, and the generational shift away from communal deer camps toward solitary trophy pursuits. There’s real talk about dad life, gear regret, and watching the next generation catch the hunting bug and maybe even lose it if we’re not paying attention. Whether you're one of the few still holding it down in the woods or someone who's stepped away, there's a good chance you’ll hear something that hits home. This one's about more than tags and tactics. It’s about culture, access, and the future of hunting. Presented by www.nosler.com -- Use code OHP for 20% OFF! Learn more about your ad choices.

Pat Newcomb isn’t just the guy behind Nukem Hunting Blinds . He’s the kind of dude who’ll bring cookies to the neighbors after a hurricane floods his warehouse. We dig into how a happy accident (shoutout Bob Ross) turned into a game-changing blind design built for real-world hunters who value speed, simplicity, and concealment. Whether the kids are tagging along with you into the turkey woods, hunting public land, or just sick of birds busting you without front cover, Nukem's blind is a damn good tool to add to your arsenal. If you hunt from the ground, like your gear lightweight, and appreciate good people building great things, you’ll want to give this one a listen.

Turkey hunting, bourbon tasting, and big chicken energy. This episode has it all. We kick things off debating whether bringing a bow to turkey camp is brave or just dumb, then crack open a bottle of Chicken Cock bourbon (yes, really) and spiral into owl trivia, KwikTrip chicken propaganda, and questionable whiskey barrel practices. Matt Streim from Weathered Oaks Game Calls joins us to talk about his new mini pot call—perfect for smaller hands but big on sound. We get into the weeds on call tuning, the art of matching hen energy, and why that mid-morning hunt window might be your best bet. Plus, Keegan finally calls in after 19 missed tries, and we start laying plans for what might just become an annual turkey camp tradition.
