If you had to defend yourself with big game antler, which animal would you pick from? Brayden and Phil went shed antler hunting in a place that has been producing giant bucks. Find out how they used trail cam footage to know where to look for sheds. We also talked about several reasons why deer sheds are so hard to find. Dan has some unique coffee-drinking preferences.The guys talk about their recent trout fishing trip: Find out why Dan didn’t make it. They met up with some GoWild members and had a good time. We share a must-visit location for anyone fishing in Kentucky or looking to try out fly fishing and want to catch some tasty trout. Jacob mentions what makes this time of year his dream time for fishing. He also mentions one thing to watch out for with your fly line and how to get some help from a buddy with a net. Jacob goes into battle after a brute. [UNCENSORED] by GoWild kicks off your week with shameful nonsense, inappropriate convictions, and unfiltered tales from the woods, waters and whatevers.

69: Dial-In With Dan Johnson of Sportsmen’s Empire | [UNCENSORED] by GoWild
In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, we dial-in with Dan Johnson from Sportsmen’s Empire. We kick things off by testing the tea bag coffee from Wildland Coffee and get into a chat about the various podcast styles and why we settled on the format that we did for this show. We’ve been friends with Dan for a while now; we like what he is doing and he likes what we are doing, so we decided to join forces–see what that’s going to look like moving forward. Is there another GoWild podcast in the works?Dan questions what it really means to be an “expert” at something. He asks Brayden about his journey into becoming a fly angler and Brayden mentions his easiest and hardest parts of transitioning from bass fishing to fly fishing. Dan also talks about the challenge of having interviewed over 1,000 podcast guests and shares his experience from the recent Iowa Deer Classic tradeshow and what makes it one of the best. He recounts his glory days as a whitetail antler shed hunter and drops a bombshell bone-finding tip. He also gives us his no-fail, dummy-proof longbeard-flopping guide to killing turkeys.Brayden set up his new rod and reel and is gearing up for a fly fishing trip with several GoWild members. He started with the Orvis Encounter rod/reel combo but is now scaling up to a DIY setup. Jacob paid off some of his marital debt to be able to join them on the trip! He also mentions his favorite flies to use this time of year.Brad celebrated his daughter’s birthday and spent the weekend elbow deep in unicorns and rainbows. Dan mentioned how he got his young daughter a cell phone–and why he instantly regretted it! We’ve got several parents on the show today and get into the strangest, craziest, and wildest things our kids are saying and doing. Aside from these normal antics, what can we do as parents to help them with survival skills and other important life lessons?Don’t forget about the UTV giveaway: Learn more and enter now and let us know how you like this new podcast format with Dan.[UNCENSORED] by GoWild kicks off your week with shameful nonsense, inappropriate convictions, and unfiltered tales from the woods, waters and whatevers.

107: Down by the River - Children's Book by Andrew Weiner | Gearbox Talk | A Fun Product Review Show
This week on Gearbox Talk we covered the Down by the River Children's Book by Andrew Weiner.Get a copy of the Down by the River Children's Book by Andrew Weiner: https://timetogowild.com/products/gowild-346-gowild-down-by-the-river--childrens-bookOne beautiful autumn day, Art sets out with his mother and grandfather for a fishing trip. Fishing days are Art’s favorite. He loves learning the ropes from Grandpa—the different kinds of flies and tackle and the trout that frequent their favorite river. Art especially appreciates Grandpa’s stories. However, this time, hearing the story about Mom’s big catch on her first cast ever makes Art feel insecure about his own fishing skills.But, as Art hooks a beautiful brown trout, he finds reassurance in Grandpa’s stories and marvels in the sport and a day spent with family, promising to continue the tradition with his own grandkids generations later.Reviews:This is a beautiful book; fun and informative to read, lovely to look at and simple enough for kids without being simplistic. I’d recommend it to children with an interest in fly-fishing or to parents who’d like to spark that interest. For that matter, I’d also recommend it to some of my more extreme fly-fishing friends for its humble, humane view of a sport that sometimes gets too fast-paced and competitive.— John Gierach, bestselling author of A Fly Rod of Your OwnAuthor Andrew Weiner and artist April Chu have produced a book that could help whet the appetite of youngsters you hope will share your love for fly fishing. Down by the River, released this week by Abrams Books, is a beautiful book documenting a day of fishing by a young boy named Art, his mother and his grandfather.— Trout UnlimitedGet a copy of the Down by the River Children's Book by Andrew Weiner: https://timetogowild.com/products/gowild-346-gowild-down-by-the-river--childrens-book#GoWild #Trout #GearboxTalkLearn more about your ad choices.
