Hunting, Herds, And Real Talk With Lance Porter (Iowa)

In this episode, I sit down with longtime friend and Southern Iowa native Lance Porter—a commercial agronomist, farmer, and bowhunter with deep roots in the hunting world.

We cover everything from the harsh impact of EHD on Iowa’s deer population to the evolving landscape of hunting culture. Lance shares the story behind a once-in-a-lifetime buck, the frustrations of managing land, and how hunting has shifted from camaraderie to competition.

We also talk gear, the role of money in modern hunting, how trail cams have changed the game, and why raising kids outdoors might be the most rewarding challenge of all.

This is a real, unfiltered conversation about what hunting looks like today—for better or worse.
