This episode had me in my feels! Madi is not only beyond knowledgable about what rifle she chooses and why and ammunition in general, but she also has so much knowledge on bettering yourself inside and out. This podcast episode teaches you so much about rifles, long range shooting, and much more... but one of my favorite parts is how Madi teaches us to separate work from play and simple ways to feel more feminine while changing your life for the better.

Kyle and I take the next hour to talk about my 4 weeks of turkey season in 3 different states and how I'll probably be sad about the way it ended until spring season of 2026, but also how many lessons it taught me and major takeaways to being a better hunter. We also touch on Kyle's sick eat at the boat on a glide bait on day one of Musky Opener in WI! Tune in and learn some major takeaways!

In this episode Kaitlin discusses how she helps her husband run a fishing guide business where they specialize in catching walleye and bass in the northern WI areas. She does a great job talking us through preferred bait depending on the season, why AFTCO is her favorite fishing apparel brand and she gives us a few stories of her best time on the water! Please welcome Kaitlin Woodward!

On this episode we talk about moving from Ohio to Montana, fly fishing, mentorship and ultramarathons, Jess Suvak is a go-getter!! This episode has so many heartfelt moments and takeaways. We talk about being mentally tough when your body says it can't take any more, how important it is to be a kind human and obviously, fly fishing and some hunting! Welcome, Jess!!

Gabby + fishing rods = recipe for a great class!

Gabby found a creative gap in the school system and followed her heart. She now teaches a course specifically on rod building, fishing techniques, safe handling and much more. The kids at her school get the opportunity to learn from a passionate fisher-woman. Little do they know she's teaching them more about finding themselves and their passions than just about rod building.

In this episode we also talk musky fishing with tubes, we giggle and talk fav movie quotes so... give er a listen!
