TW 448 - Deer Season Fire-Up: Blending Music With Outdoors

Dive into the ultimate fusion of grit and groove on this episode of Tennessee WildCast, where host Jason Harmon and co-host Don King welcome the unstoppable Josh Isenberg—an outdoorsman raised on squirrel hunts and shotgun shells in rural Kentucky, now a Nashville audio wizard mixing for legends like The Time Jumpers and Vince Gill. With deer season just a week away, Josh shares stories of "earning the trigger": that profound respect for the harvest, from boning knives at age six to processing every ounce of meat with your kids, turning freezer trophies into family feasts that taste like self-reliance and tradition.

Feel the anticipation build as they unpack the quiet magic of the woods—discerning a deer's step from a squirrel's scamper, the early-morning breath-fogged thrill of opening day, and why the social spark of dove hunts and a fish fry outshines any solo score. Josh reveals how his dual worlds collide: the same razor-sharp listening that tames chaotic tour consoles also hones a hunter's edge, proving life's best lessons echo from the backwoods to the front-of-house.

But it's more than hunts—it's heart. Josh’s wife traded cake decorating for chicken processing, raising a crew of mini-adventurers on worms, lines, and wild weekends. Whether you're gearing up for archery season, craving tips on family outings that forge unbreakable bonds, or just fired up by tales of tenacity in Music City and the fields, this episode is your pre-dawn coffee jolt. Grab your hunting guide, lace up those boots, and join the conversation—because out there, every twig snap is a story waiting. Don't miss it; the wild is calling.
