E571 - 220 Yards, 225 Pounds, and a Round Chad Had Never Shot on Game | Axis Deer Hunt Recap

Chad had his crosshairs on a 225-pound Axis deer for over ten minutes. A brand-new round from Federal Premium he'd never shot on game before. And the whole time, one thought he couldn't shake... is the bullet big enough? That moment of doubt, the breathing, the trigger squeeze, and what happened when they walked up on that deer within 20 feet of where the shot landed; that's what this episode is about. Chad recaps his Axis deer hunt at Iron Game Ranch in Stonehouse, Texas with Federal Premium CEO Jason Vanderbrink, breaks down the brand new 6.5 Creedmoor Plus Peak and what it's capable of, gets into why Axis deer might be the best eating game animal in North America, and talks through how he's using every piece of this animal from hunter's ham to custom purses to pillows. It's a hunt recap, a shooting system breakdown, and an honest conversation about confidence, doubt, and what it means to trust your gear when it counts. Season 18 of Benelli's The Fowl Life is on the Outdoor Channel now. Season 19 filming starts in September.

Mitch breaks down where outdoor television actually stands right now: the audience, the numbers behind My Outdoor TV and Game and Fish TV, why linear isn't dead even if it's changed, and whether a new producer could ever build a show like The Fowl Life from the ground up today.

E567 - SCI Fowl Thoughts | This Is Why We Do It - Solo with Chad

Chad's got some thoughts. That's what this series is! Safari Club International's Fowl Thoughts! He starts where it all began. The toilet business. Portable units, job sites, construction managers, bid meetings. Learning customer service and communication and resilience and when to pump the brakes. Then a duck hunt with some buddies changed everything. From a duck mount on the wall of his toilet office called Strike Up the Band, of nine banded greenheads through flooded timber, to a phone call with a production company that fell through and started everything.. The blessing to go do it himself. And just like that, the dream was born. 18 seasons of Benelli's The Fowl Life on the Outdoor Channel. Year 15 with Benelli. Year 15 with Federal. Year 20 with Realtree. Year 20 with Mojo. All of it happened because of hard work, resilience, tenacity, and the people who showed up along the way. Chad talks about what this life has given him. The blinds, the musicians, the athletes, the military, the sick kids who got to hold a mallard for the first time. The moments that don't make the highlight reel but mean everything to him. Season 18 is getting ready to air. Season 19 starts filming in September, Banded Drake Ranch is growing, Seth Van Dover is playing the Silent Valor Project event at Caspians in Vegas on June 24th; There's a lot in motion!
