Episode 80: Have We CHANGED?

Welcome back to The Watering Hole with your hosts, Justin Zarr and Todd Graf! In this episode, the guys take a hilarious trip down memory lane as they look back at highlights and outtakes from their early hunting days. From analyzing how young and awkward they were 16 years ago to laughing at their old studio camera work, Justin and Todd reflect on how much has changed since season one. They also dive into a funny debate about some of the most bizarre hunting gimmicks from back in the day, including activated carbon Covid-style masks, alfalfa honey gum, and a highly questionable tree stand dummy designed to condition the local deer herd.   Beyond the nostalgia, the conversation turns to some essential gear talk and real-world outdoor frustrations. The hosts give a massive shoutout to Stealth Strips, explaining why this quiet, felt-like material is a permanent fixture in their hunting arsenal for silencing gear and handling quick field repairs. Justin also shares his recent headaches over a broken Ford truck turbo that turned out to be a simple sensor issue, contrasting it with the unmatched reliability of their decade-old Prius go-karts. To wrap things up, the guys discuss a serious modern concern: the recent rise of screw worm cases in livestock, before launching into a passionate rant against the epidemic of AI slop and ChatGPT posts currently infecting outdoor Facebook groups. www.bowhunting.com

Episode 79: Fathers Day Gift Ideas!

Welcome back to another episode of The Watering Hole! In Episode 79, hosts Justin Zarr and Todd Graf kick things off with some major breaking news: Todd officially lost the fishing bet. The guys dive deep into how a recent cold front and changing water temperatures flipped their fishing strategies upside down, discussing everything from sonar finders and weed problems to the specific triggers needed to get largemouth bass to bite. Because a deal is a deal, a celebratory trip to Chipotle is on the horizon.  The conversation then transitions from the water to the woods as the guys realize there are only four months left until opening day. They explore the subtle tactics of outdoor scouting, drawing a fascinating parallel between successful fishing techniques and the art of shed hunting and deer hunting. Todd and Justin debate the heavy reliance on hyper-specific gear, swapping stories about group chat arguments over infinite arrow setups, 5.0 vs. Axis 5mm pure carbon shafts, and weight distribution. In the end, they remind listeners of a simple truth: if you shoot a deer in the right spot, the fancy gear variables fade away. Tune in for a jam-packed episode highlighting upcoming summer fishing plans, food plot updates, and essential visual scanning skills! www.bowhunting.com
