Fall Obsession Podcast (Fall Obsession LLC)

The 2023 hunting seasons held a lot of firsts for members of our team, and for our show host Sam Thrash. This episode brings us back to Texas deer camp where Sam sits down with his dad, Mark to bring their season to a close. They discuss the frustrations experienced this year on Texas Dirt, lessons learned from it, and how they look to improve upon such in year 4. We always have to end it with a bang, as the title of the episode eludes. Mark shares a story that you absolutely cannot make up, having had his truck STOLEN right from the property while he was hunting! And if that isn't crazy enough on its own, Mark's 200+ pound boar was in the bed of the truck.  Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by: Ridge Rock Hunt Company (https://ridgerockhuntcompany.com/) Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/) The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/) Learn more about your ad choices.

The Wildlife Conservation Battlefield is one not normally occupied, nor perhaps even thought about by the every-day outdoors man and woman. Hunter's rights are constantly being attacked and manipulated by the anti-hunting community, and it may be closer than you realize to impacting you directly. However, organizations like HOWL for Wildlife are making it possible for every outdoor enthusiast and hunters to have their voice heard. Mike Costello and John Stallone are two faces of this organization; and they are dedicated to preserving the future of wildlife and hunting through science-based wildlife management and conservation, and not ballot-box wildlife decisions. Join us for a rich and intense conversation discovering how hunting is slowly and strategically being cut away, what HOWL is currently doing, and how you yourself can better represent your outdoor passions and make your voice known!

The most valuable time of the year for any whitetail hunter is arguably "The Rut". Bucks are moving around the clock and pushing does outside of their normal routine, and it makes for some entertaining and enjoyable sits in the woods. This week we are joined on the Podcast by one of our own, Ryan Reading, a Pro Staffer from New York. With over 30 years of hunting experience, and roughly a decade of time spent managing his own properties in the Northeast, Ryan has spent a lot of time studying deer behavior, observing patterns and pulling data from his Tactacam Reveal Cell Cams, and not to mention hunting big whitetails. Specifically, a recent 3 year quest to tag his number 1 target that came to fruition in 2024 in an epic, heated rut hunt! Ryan tells us the story and his history with this specific buck, and we talk whitetail management strategies, tactics, and how to hunt big bucks pre-rut, during the rut, and post rut!

We've all been there, tracking an animal over long distances with a gut-wrenching feeling that you may never find it. That is the situation Fall Obsession VP Drew Tvrdik was in last year; which opened the door for him to meet this week's guest, Naz Gren. Naz is a part of the Minnesota Tracking Dogs group, and has helped countless hunters recover their otherwise lost or unknown animals. Naz and Drew share a great conversation not just about Drew's experience, but also the intricacies of working with a high-demand tracking dog. Naz talks about the training process, what these dogs are capable of, what kind of time frames hunters should expect and prepare for following a questionable shot on an animal, and steps you can take to give yourself and your tracking dog the best chance possible to recover your animal. Naz of course shares some of his favorite memories and tracks with us, as we learn about a completely different overlooked passion folks like Naz have for being hunters and living an outdoor lifestyle!

Public land hunting hits different; and while more challenging at times, it can also be more rewarding. Most certainly when things come together on a shooter buck! For Fall Obsession Staffer Tanner Higgins, it all seemed to come together within seconds at first light, but then quickly turned for the worst when a blood trail never ended. This is a story that you cannot makeup; with one improbable event leading to another, and a determined hunter who saw it through to the end on Oklahoma Public Land!

The first "solo episode" of Fall Obsession Podcast. For 185 episodes, each and every one has consisted of a conversation between a host and one or more guests. Despite some reservations about recording a one-man podcast, show host Sam Thrash breaks the normal mold and hops behind a microphone by himself. The last thing Sam wanted was to pick a random topic just for the sake of just recording a podcast. He believes an episode like this should carry some weight and be worth the listen. What Sam chose to speak about is raw, authentic, and comes from the heart; talking vulnerably about his personal struggles as a podcast host, a show producer, a business owner and balancing it all with being a family man and a firefighter. In a busy life, and one with multiple passions or "identities" has he references, it is easy for those passions to turn to pastimes. Balance becomes key, drive and work ethic are required, and healthy encouragement and influences go farther than ever before on the path to overcoming and succeeding.  Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by: Ridge Rock Hunt Company (https://ridgerockhuntcompany.com/) Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/) The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/) Learn more about your ad choices.

We are joined this week by long-time outdoor industry producer and show host Melissa Bachman! Melissa is the host of the Winchester Deadly Passion show on Sportsman Channel, and her journey into outdoor television is a display of nothing less than hard work. As one of the very first female icons in the hunting industry, her passion for hunting and the outdoors was found at a young age, and her persistence and work ethic brought her the opportunity to begin her production journey behind a camera during the rise of outdoor TV. After years of long days, late nights, and working hard to make the most of every opportunity she had, Melissa's shift from behind to in front of the camera began. She has become one of the most influential people in the outdoor world, and continues to be an inspiration to both outdoors men and women!

This week show host Sam Thrash takes the opportunity to cover some ground in a couple different topics he's passionate about. The first being whitetail hunting in Texas, as Sam talks about his 2024 season thus far, and feeling like a "bad hunter". The second half of the episode gets him fired up, discussing hunters rights, anti-hunters, the recent success of getting Proposition 127 shot down in Colorado, and more. The recent "ballot box biology" initiative was enough to (hopefully) wake up some otherwise, let's just say "casual" hunters when it comes to paying attention to what's going on around you; not just in your state, but across the country. As always pages such as ours that openly take a stance in these situations open themselves up to the opposition, and some anti's found some of our Proposition 127 content. Sam talks about dealing with these keyboard warriors while representing hunting respectfully and professional. This is a fun, short episode.  Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by: Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/) Trophy Edits (https://trophyedits.com/?ref=fallobsession) Ridge Rock Hunt Company (https://ridgerockhuntcompany.com/) The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/) Learn more about your ad choices.

It's more than a stick and a string. It's more than the best bow, arrows, accessories or gear you can buy. It's discipline, consistency, dedication and repetition. We put together an awesome roster for this week's podcast, with each individual coming from a unique hunting and archery background. Yet all striving to for the same goal; to be the best archer they can be. In part 1, the team talks about the mental game behind archery and bow hunting, mental blocks and obstacles they've each overcome; or even are still dealing with, valuable lessons learned and more. The discussion leads to talking some specifics with single versus multi-pin sights, target visualization, and so on! If you are an archer or bow hunter, this is a must listen... and it's only part 1...

With November quickly approaching, all eyes are on Colorado and Proposition 127 which would prohibit the hunting of Mountain Lions, Bobcats and Lynx in the State. Anti-hunting extremists have pushed their way to the ballot box in one of hunting's most desirable States in an effort to suppress hunting through the uneducated voter. This "Ballot Box Biology" is devastating to any Fish and Game Department, and to hunters and any outdoors men and women who are actually educated in and responsible for carrying out proper wildlife management efforts. Many wildlife and conservation organizations have been diligently fighting this fight, with C.R.W.M. and Dan Gates leading the charge. Dan joins us for this episode to share the many issues that Proposition 127 holds, the long term detrimental impact it would have if passed, why cat hunting is a good thing, and much more. This is the line in the sand between hunters and the anti's, and a Proposition like this passing could cause a domino effect to other game species or other States. Even if you are not from Colorado, every hunter should be paying attention to this. Listen to this episode, share it with anyone you know in Colorado, and help educate others on why they should vote NO on Proposition 127.

One deep dive on whitetail hunting is all it takes to realize there is so much more to it than sitting in a stand and waiting on the first brown thing to walk by. This week we take one of those whitetail deep dives in deer camp with show host Sam and his dad, Mark. A lot has changed in 3 years on their Texas whitetail property, and they have had to grow as hunters along with it. They talk about those changes they have witnessed, how the deer have adapted with them, and how their hunting tactics have shifted over the years. With over 5 decades of whitetail hunting experience between the two of them, these guys are still learning new lessons every day in the whitetail woods.

This episode takes us deep into the mountains of Central Idaho with show host Sam, and friends Galen, Chris and Ben. Earlier in 2024 this crew packed in 25 miles on horseback for what would turn out to be an epic and extreme backcountry experience! Challenged by difficult access and extreme terrain, this crew overcame many challenges during a week in the "steep and deep" country. This podcast comes directly from Elk Camp, recorded around the fire on the last evening in the mountains. The men reflect on the week, the highs and the lows, their appreciation for the pack animals, and above all the highlight of the trip when they called in a bull on day 5, playing him into archery range and the successful moments that followed! This is an experience these men will never forget, and we are happy to have you all join them!  Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by: Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/) Numzaan Safaris (https://www.numzaan.com) Trophy Edits (https://trophyedits.com/?ref=fallobsession) Ridge Rock Hunt Company (https://ridgerockhuntcompany.com/) Elite Archery (https://elitearchery.com/) The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/) Learn more about your ad choices.

We typically steer clear of politics on our podcast. However we do believe there is a time and place for such "political" discussions when it comes to our rights as hunters and outdoors men and women; specific to over-regulating, voter-based bans and a disregard for conservation and management research and statistics by States and Commissions. We believe game regulations have their place as long as long as ethics, conservation and education have been appropriately considered and applied. In today's world, that line continues to become blurred more and more by Fish and Game departments caving to uneducated agendas and voter-based decisions. This week, we unpack all of this with guest Mike Behrens; specifically looking at recent events including the ban of wild hog hunting in Kentucky, the very first mountain lion trapping ban in Texas, wolf and mountain lion events in Colorado, and more! Some may call this conversation "controversial", but we believe it is every hunter's responsibility to weigh in on the decisions made by their own Fish and Game Commissions, and to pay attention to other State's around them. The American Outdoors Man and Woman has a voice; don't be scared to use it.  Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by: Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/) Numzaan Safaris (https://www.numzaan.com) Ridge Rock Hunt Company (https://ridgerockhuntcompany.com/) Elite Archery (https://elitearchery.com/) The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/) Learn more about your ad choices.

What does it mean to be a huntress in today's world? How can women be a true inspiration to other individuals living the hunting & outdoor lifestyle when the online world predominantly pushes female hunters who are doing it all for the "Likes", and over-sexualizing the modern huntress? This is part of what this week's guest, Delaney Pfeiffer discusses with us. Delaney grew up an Indiana farm girl, in a household full of hunters. Delaney shares her story, and how her passion for hunting and the outdoors has grown; inspiring her to share her own outdoor experiences with others. Delaney talks about what it means to be your true self as a huntress on social media, who her own role models have been, and how she herself strives to inspire other individuals in the outdoors. In a world that has certainly no shortage of female hunters; yet has allowed social media to indirectly present the modern huntress as something they are not, it is refreshing to sit down and have a conversation with someone who "gets it". We hope you feel the same way!  For more hunting & outdoor content, visit https://www.fallobsession.com Fall Obsession Podcast is driven by our friends at Ridge Rock Hunt Company (https://ridgerockhuntcompany.com) Learn more about your ad choices.
