Ep. 31: What is Grit?

In this episode, we talk about one of the most important traits you can build in life—grit. What is it really, and why does it matter so much? We share real stories, lessons from the outdoors, and moments where quitting would’ve been easier but sticking it out made all the difference. From hunting to everyday life, we break down how grit is built and why it might matter more than talent. Also, we talk about how important mothers are in our life and how we couldn't survive without them. Happy Mother's Day!

Ep. 30: Camp Talk With Uncle Joe

This week, I sit down with my Uncle Joe at our annual turkey camp in southeast Iowa, a tradition he’s shared with his buddies since the mid-80s. After a morning hunt, we’re back at the cabin—windows open on a perfect spring day—reminiscing under a wall full of deer mounts. Joe is the one who taught me everything I know about hunting, fishing, and the outdoors, and while Walker couldn’t be here this week, I know this is one he’ll appreciate. It’s a laid-back, story-filled episode about a lifetime in the woods, the man who shaped mine, and the traditions I hope to pass on to my kids.

Ep. 29: Walker Joins The Legion of Turkey Hunters!

This week on The Father and Son Field Guide, we welcome Walker into the Legion of Turkey Killers as he shares the story of his very first turkey harvest. From the moment it all came together to the emotions that followed, we dive into what it really feels like to take your first animal—excitement, hesitation, nerves, pride, and respect for the hunt. We walk through how it happened, what he was thinking in the moment, and why it’s something he’ll never forget. It’s an honest, real conversation about hunting, growing up, and appreciating the outdoors. And of course… it wouldn’t be our show without a few laughs and some classic jokes mixed in along the way.

Ep. 28: We're At Turkey Camp!

It’s a mix of adventure, learning, and a little bit of storytelling you won’t want to miss. As always, a few jokes and laughs along the way!
