Well, we’re back… and so are the snakes. Part 2 of Cold Blooded Confessions picks up right where we left off, with more wild and weird snake stories from folks who lived to tell the tale. You’ll laugh, you’ll squirm, and you might even check your boots before steppin’ outside.
Now listen, if Part 1 didn’t show up for you last time, that’s on the Apple Podcasts gremlins, not us. But don’t worry, we tacked the whole first part onto t...
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again … I don’t do snakes. And after hearin’ some of y’all’s stories? I feel like I’ve got good reason. In this episode, we’re kickin’ off Part 1 of our listener submitted snake tales. From blinds to barns, these stories had me laughin’, wincin’, and in one case, lookin’ around my feet just to be sure.
Y’all did not disappoint. So grab a chair, take a deep breath, and get ready for some honest-...
This week on Fist Full of Dirt, we’re on location at Allen Chiropractic with Dr. David Allen. He’s a longtime friend, golf partner, hunting buddy, and the guy who just helped put me back together after a rough episode with my back.
We’re talking about what causes those back blowouts, how to fix one, and more importantly how to keep your back strong in the first place.

This week on Fist Full of Dirt, we’ve got Keith Mark, fellow outdoorsman and founder of Hunter Nation, to talk about the proposed public land sale that had folks fired up across the country. Keith gives us the behind the scenes story of how they stood their ground with the rally cry “not an acre, not an inch”, and how going straight to the source stirred up a little controversy.
This conversation sets the record straight and remi...
This week on Fist Full of Dirt, we’re joined by Dr. Mike Chamberlain.. wild turkey expert, lifelong hunter and the National Wild Turkey Federation Distinguished Professor at the University of Georgia. With all the rain we’ve been seeing, we had to ask, how’s this weather affecting our turkeys?
Dr. Chamberlain breaks down what’s happening in the woods, what it means for young poults and what we can do to help. It’s science meets s...
This week, I’m back from a quick trip to Georgia where I had the joy of taking my three grandsons on a guided fishing trip with Captain Mark Smith of Reel Time Guide Services out on Lake Oconee. If you’ve ever fished that lake, you know it runs DEEP in some spots. Turns out, so did our conversation.
Captain Mark shares stories about his life, guiding folks in and out of the water, and what it means to truly connect with the next ...
We asked and y’all delivered. This week on Fist Full of Dirt, we’re sharing some of the most powerful, funny and downright moving stories sent in by our listeners. From first birds to final hunts, quiet lessons to loud gobbles… these stories are what make turkey season special. They’re about family, faith, failure and finding something bigger than ourselves in the woods. Laureen helped pick a few that hit especially hard, and we’re...
I’m back from the mountains of West Virginia, and let me tell you… this one’s gonna stick with me. I had the honor of hunting with Marine SgtMaj Chris Singley and spending time with 3-Star General Randy West, combat pilot, ordained minister and one of the most incredible men I’ve ever met. We laughed, we hunted and I witnessed firsthand the life changing work being done through Patriots Four, a place where wounded Veterans find hea...

Before he was a Sheriff and recipient of the Medal of Freedom, Mike was a boots on the ground Game Warden. He admits that bending the rules early in his hunting life gave him an advantage. In part 2 of this episode you'll hear just how good he was.

We’re throwing it back to trapping season for this week’s episode, recorded right here in the Camo Cave with our good friend and trapping expert Alan Probst. Alan’s made the trip from Pennsylvania to the Deep South more times than we can count, and every visit brings real impact… on our land, our wildlife, and our understanding of both.
In this conversation, Alan shares valuable tips and techniques for managing predators and expl...
This week, I’m fresh back from The Roost in Nebraska, where I took two of my grandsons on a trip we’ll never forget. Middle grandson Matt wrapped up his Grand Slam with a beautiful Merriam, and Cranky, true to form, grabbed a Rio because, in his words, he “came to kill a turkey!”
After hearing the boys recap their hunts, I get a little sentimental. This trip marked the end of an era, as my longtime friend Jim Kuhn is retiring from ...
We’re back in the Camo Cave with Andrew Maxwell and Jacob Myers of the Southern Outdoorsmen Podcast for Part 2 of our conversation… and if you thought last week was good, this one goes even deeper.

This week we’re visiting with the guys from the Southern Outdoorsmen Podcast, Andrew Maxwell and Jacob Myers. They originally came to town to interview me for their show… but of course, I had to bring them into the Camo Cave and turn the mic around.
We talk hunting, podcasting and how they built a show that speaks directly to hunters. If you’ve never listened to their show, this is your intro. And if you’re already a fan, you’ll lo...
I’m back from Florida, with two of my grandsons by my side, and it was one for the books. We didn’t bring home any Osceolas, but we had some heart‑pounding encounters and a surprise discovery of what might be Florida’s best buffet according to Cranky.
Sure, no turkeys fell, but watching these boys learn, grow, and share in the tradition made this trip one of my most memorable. Tune in to...
Last week, we set out to talk spring food plots with Mossy Oak founder Toxey Haas and Gamekeepers’ Bobby Cole, but the stories took over, and we took a deep dive into the history of Mossy Oak instead. This week, we’re back on track & breaking down everything you need to know about spring food plots.
What to plant, when to plant, and how to set your property up for success this season.. W...
This week, we sat down with Mossy Oak founder Toxey Haas and Gamekeepers’ Bobby Cole to talk about spring food plots… but as conversations tend to do around here, we took a hard turn down memory lane.
What started as a simple discussion about land and wildlife turned into an unforgettable storytelling session about the origins of Mossy Oak, the people who built it, and the moments that shaped all of us. Even a few stories I had nev...
Back from our annual Florida veterans hunt, and this one was special! Six out of seven hunters took home their first Osceola, but more importantly, they left with memories that will last a lifetime. From the power of the outdoors in healing to how you can get involved with Patriots Four and help our nation’s warriors, this episode is all about giving back, gratitude, and the bonds built in the woods.
