Outdoor Activities Podcasts

Hunting dominates the field. Within it, the useful split is between shows that tell you what happened and shows that tell you what to do next. The Turkey Hunter Podcast with Andy Gagliano & Cameron Weddington | Turkey Hunting Tips, Strategies, and Stories does both. In 492 - The Story of a Bonafide Swamp Gobbler, Gagliano describes a morning around mid-March on flooded public ground. He crosses a ditch in Crocs, carrying his vest, gun and boots. Then he hears a gobbler that sounds 40 yards off with his "new ears" in, though he knows the bird is farther away. He admits he listened to "the 22-year-old Andy" over his wiser self. That is the show's appeal in small: a hunter amused by his own judgement who still teaches you something about early-season woods. Listed as 490 - Turkey Talk with Billy Yargus, the episode includes a stopwatch quiz (fried, with cola, one grand slam) and then turns to his start in hunting in Missouri in the spring of 1978.

Wired To Hunt Podcast leans harder toward strategy. In Ep. 1027: What 100+ Farms Taught Us About Big Bucks, guest Jack has surveyed right around 500 farms by thermal drone across roughly 16 states. He says he has "never seen anybody overdo doe harvest," though one landowner learned he should probably at least hold his numbers steady. The 17-minute Ep. 1026: Foundations - Where Does the Whitetail Time Go? is gentler. Host Tony Peterson imagines a father whose hunting party has dwindled and urges you to "go hunt with him even if you know that you won't shoot anything." He also concedes, counting himself among the hypocrites, that an industry built on the odds of a big deer has suffered for it, at least to some extent.

Truth From The Stand Deer Hunting Podcast narrows the focus with a Trail Cam University series hosted by Clint Campbell. In Trail Cam University : Expose Hidden Buck Patterns | Most Hunters Miss This, he points cameras at parking areas "Not to scout the deer, but to scout the people," a tip you can use tomorrow. Land & Legacy - Habitat + Hunting is for people who own the ground. In Just How Valuable are Forbs for Whitetail Deer?, host Matt Dye and Chainsaw Chad compare phosphorus demand with a forb average of 0.28. They also note that, of the thousands of people they have worked with, hardly anyone asks for more forbs. It rewards listeners who think in acres. For smaller plots, try the Home & Garden page.

The Hunt Backcountry Podcast describes itself as free of advertisers and sponsors. In 546 | DIY Solo Elk — Highs & Lows (A Listener Story), a listener named Ryan talks through packing out meat alone. He admits he did not message his wife until the night of day three. A host mentions someone he knows who checks in every four hours and sympathises with the wait at home.

Big Game Hunting Podcast - Hunting Africa, North America, & More!, hosted by John McAdams, travels further. Early in 417: Tyler Freel's Near Death In The Backcountry + 22 ARC & 22 Creedmoor, Freel recounts a horse bolting near an Idaho trailhead in the dark. He then spent about a month nearby because chest tubes made flying unsafe, and the talk eventually turns to cartridges. In 417: Double Rifles, 500 NE & Elephant Charges With Jeff Rann, McAdams acknowledges that elephant hunting is controversial in some quarters and asks for an open mind. Rann, a professional hunter, permits clients only brain shots: "I don't believe that's a way an elephant should die." The conservation case here comes from the hunters' side, and listeners will weigh it accordingly.

Land itself is the other quarrel. In EP. 568 Why Government & Corporations Hate Private Property Ownership, a host of Three of Seven Podcast, the faith-and-fitness show led by Chadd Wright, argues that public land held in trust for the people may already be "an illusion."

Hound PodCast: Double U Hunting Supply sounds most like a night out. GTTD - Lone Pine Kennels 2025 follows coon hunting through drought and a bright beaver moon, with bloodlines discussed as fondly as family. The Bowl Battle: Inside Food Aggression is plainer instruction: if the dog moves toward the bowl, pick it up and set it back down calmly, with results expected four or five days in. Roads, Mountains and Memories: A chat with Rick Labbe includes a 14-year-old reloading a muzzleloader by herself and finishing an elk.

Gun Dog It Yourself makes a natural companion. In 276. Bird Hunting in Sweden, a guest from Luleå, speaking under nearly round-the-clock summer daylight, explains that tame training birds can be hunted only in season, after three or six weeks without human contact. The host compares that with state-by-state rules at home. 266. The Real Ryman Setter w/ Walt Lesser runs 118 minutes. Lesser, who learned from books and magazines, corrects the host: "We didn't develop it. These dogs had it in them." The Pets & Animals page goes further.

Australian Lure Fishing, hosted by Greg "Doc Lures" Vinall, is for anglers who want mechanics. In King George Whiting On Lures: Bomber Farrel Unlocks The Mysteries, Farrel estimates seven or eight hits for every two whiting landed, and the conversation blames the fish's small, downward-facing mouth. Cooby And Cressbrook Dam Yellowbelly: Jason Ehrlich discusses fishing from a boat with live sonar. Its point about wind pushing currents through impoundments, though, is useful to anyone with a rod. Members of Team Doc Lures get a longer cut of Jumpinpin Summer Flathead with Bo Sawyer.

On foot, The 100-Mile Hike Club Podcast is candid about difficulty. Its Tour du Monte Rosa episode says the optional glacier crossings are not for a first alpine trek and points to alternative stages. JR Hikes the Appalachian Trail, Ryan Hopkins's record of his 2020 thru-hike, resumes in Episode #07 - Several Hundred Zeroes Later. The Running Jackal's SSI O&B Ride is a voice memo from a bike-bus-ferry trip to Salt Spring Island with few plans, and it is pleasant for exactly that reason.
