This week Josh and Kevin sit down for a fireside chat. We start off discussing a little bit about the seasons, archery and rifle, and what cartridges are popular (meaning sales that Kevin has seen at his shop) specifically in terms of the .450 bushmaster and .350 legend for the limited rifle zone, where he has not seen a demand so far for the newer cartridges, the .350 seems to be leading the pack. We then get into discussing a bit about reloading, how small mistakes in terms of powder and failure to follow the manuals or other established data can be disastrous, we also talk a little about the differences between black powder and smokeless powder. Then we discuss Joshs most recent archery hunting experiences. The highs and lows, time at the new family cabin, and the value of having family together in a hunt camp. And to end we talk about the ATC charity event a bit and plans for the upcoming rifle season.

This week, Kevin and Josh welcome Kyle Dupuis to the show. Kyle, a fellow Michigan hunter, actually asked about doing a podcast with a 1st generation predator hunter, it sounded like a good conversation so we made it happen. Kyle talks to us about his upbringing in hunting and the outdoors, including telling us about his grandma who was the known deer hunter in the family. We talk a bit about predator hunting around the country, how Michigan differs from out west or down south, mainly population and terrain. We discuss who we learned from, the shows we watched, and articles we read to get the info that is now very prevalent. And talk about why you don't see many if any predator hunting shows filmed here. We touch on quite a few facets including how he got into predator hunting, his progression in the sport, knowledge, tactics and equipment. Starting with a .22wmr rifle, hunting during the daylight only, to today's set up of thermal optics and everything in between like lights and night vision. We discuss how family and friends react to finding out about predator hunting, each of us talk about that, and specifically some of the stuff we have heard, like "I can't believe there are that many around" to "what do you DO with them" We talk about the community, and how we have all made some really good friends in our quest for knowledge, entering competitions, and sharing stories with other like minded hunters. And we finish with a little technical talk about Kyle's' experiences with the new .22 ARC both factory and reloading Follow along with Kyle at the Death After Darc facebook page!

Mike Luttrull joins me tonight to talk about tomorrows plans. Wednesday November 2 was a much better day in the woods. The deer were active and the bucks were out looking, however I was mainly on a mission to SEE a shooter buck so I could move in on the next attempt. It worked, as I was able to lay eyes on one I would gladly bring home to the family at around 10:45, cruising the edge of a small field 3 other bucks had been in earlier in the morning. We laid eyes on a giant on the way home at 12:30, however we need a day of scouting to figure out the piece of property before we just blow in and ruin our chances before the day even begins. Mike will be joining me for the morning hunt and he is looking to fill the freezer, so we are hopeful that the deer will be moving again tomorrow. Temps are extremely high for typical November weather, but I don't think the deer care about the temps that much right now. Thank you all so much for listening and check back again tomorrow for the next update! Predator Hunter Outdoors HuntWise ORC Archery SiOnyx

I was able to be in a tree 3 times the last 36 hours. Halloween morning as well as the entire day of November 1st. I find myself struggling chasing trail cameras and scouting less, but I need to make a change to that system. I know where some doe have been using every morning, and I have tried to use that to my advantage, but a mistake in my setup in the morning of Nov 1 may have ruined my chance at a solid buck, but we will never know. Scrape activity the last 2 days has appeared to drop, deer are still crossing by them but not re opening them. Did hear some chasing tonight right at last light, and had one come in as I was packing up my gear after the hunt, but I don't know what it was. Tomorrow I think will be the coldest morning all week, so I may be packing a lunch and sitting later depending on movement I have seen. I plan to go hunt another section where I do have cameras, but won't be near them so I can break my bad habit. I know there are deer in this section but I haven't narrowed them down yet. I guess that is the story of all the spots I hunt though. I will check in again tomorrow night, unless something keeps me out extra late! Thank you all for listening! Predator Hunter Outdoors HuntWise ORC Archery SiOnyx

Todays rutcation report shows a little better movement, but not from the bigger bucks. Scrapes showed less activity today but the little bucks were chasing pretty decent in the evening. Still seeing a few doe out feeding without being harassed. Still hearing reports around the state of good bucks being taken while chasing doe, but I believe we are still a few days from the really good stuff. Thank you all so much for taking the time to listen! Please make sure to check out Predator Hunter Outdoors, HuntWise, ORC Archery and SiOnyx

Rutcation report 10-29-22 Very little activity for us today, we did see a small buck chasing 2 doe around at 10:45 am and I saw 1 doe by herself at 7:55. Scrapes were active overnight, but none were active today in daylight. Multiple reports of bucks chasing hard around the state and some very nice deer being taken. Finished the day butchering and canning Thursday nights doe. Thank you all for listening! I hope you enjoy your time in the outdoors! Predator Hunter Outdoors HuntWise ORC Archery SiOnyx

This week on the Overdrive Outdoors Podcast Kevin welcomes Lincoln Rohn to the show. Lincoln is another local west MI resident that has been very active in the outdoors. We talk about the business that Lincoln now runs, Packer Maxx, a cultipacker that is ideal for sportsmen and small farmers, he tells us about acquiring the business and the advantages of using a cultipacker for your food plots. We then discuss Lincolns upbringing in the outdoors. Then we get into his most recent hunt...Africa. Lincoln recently returned from an African plains game hunt, we ask him to break it down starting with the planning stages, finding a guide, physical prep, equipment prep, the importance of listening to your PH (professional hunter/Guide), what type of stuff was recommended and how it performed, the process of traveling out of the country, and the travel itself. Then we proceed to his experiences with the accommodations over there, the people he dealt with, the lodging and temperatures encountered (which really surprised me). We discuss the hunts themselves, the animals both hunted and seen, the dangers present, the beauty of the area, poaching and its effects on the hunting (unfortunately tragic in his experience). Lincoln talks about each species, shot placement, his choice of gun, ammo and optics and how they performed, and how his predator hunting back here helped him in Africa. We talk about the importance of these hunts to both the communities, the PH and the animals themselves, it is often misunderstood how much these hunts help all of them, by helping with anti-poaching efforts to ensuring the overall better health of a species and the land they need to thrive, to providing a form of income to the residents that are involved with the operation from cooks/chefs to guides, to the folks in the area. Lincoln does a really good job of relaying to us how special this hunt was, the impact it had on him, and how much he wants to go back again. If you have any interest in a similar trip, Lincoln provided some really good info and personal experiences from the hunters side on what you can expect from such a trip and how to properly prepare for it. Thank you Lincoln for sharing your experiences with us As always, THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.

The turkeys are smarter than I am, so its nice to be able to listen and take down some info from 3 guys who have gotten it done in the field. Hopefully you can take at least a little information out there with you the next time out as well! Be sure to check out the WMWA at https://westmichiganwildlifeassociation.org/ and check out Breckens turkey video at https://youtu.be/oHCSifktbmE Thank you all so much for listening. Be safe, have fun out there.

This week, Kevin and Josh sit down with Sean Purcell of Timber Freak Game Calls. I personally have used a Timber Freak grunt for the last 3 seasons and can honestly say it is the best sounding grunt call I have ever used. Sean tells us about how he took ownership of the company, and then decided to expand it to more than just grunt calls. Now he is developing waterfowl calls, predator calls and more! Sean talks about tuning a call, and how different materials can make all the difference in sound. Sean also tells us about his time spent with his dad, Gary, in Alaska targeting moose. He tells about what that hunt meant to him and how that was his dads bucket list hunt. We also talk about Iowa deer hunting, and Kevin and Sean school me on some bear hunting information. Huge thank you to Sean for taking the time to record with us, and a huge thank you to all of you who have followed with us along the way. We appreciate you all, and look forward to bringing you more content as the days go by. Be sure to like and subscribe to this podcast, and also leave us a review! Thank you all so much.

Are you a Michigan predator hunter who enjoys going hunting at night using your centerfire rifle? This episode is for you. Josh and Kevin sit down with Bob Abbott, owner of Hunters Custom Mounting Solutions and front man in the fight for centerfire at night. Bob goes in depth about what it took to get the law changed from rimfire or shotgun only, to centerfire at night. Bob talks about how long the process took and why we wanted the change to begin with. Bob also talks about how many people got involved, collecting signatures to help the cause, and some of the crazy things he heard from some "higher ups" about why centerfire at night was a bad idea. This episode digs deep into what it might take for YOU to make a change you want to see. Bob then tells us about Hunters Custom Mounting solutions. He tells us about the products he makes, including mounts for battery packs to power your night hunting optics, and mounts for your infrared illuminator dimmer switches.

This week, Josh and Kevin are joined by Brad Luttrell, founder of the social media platform GoWild. They talk about what Brad enjoyed outdoors growing up, which really didn't have much to do with hunting at all. They talk about how Brad finally got into hunting whitetail at a later age, and how his past seasons have gone. Brad then talks to them about the GoWild platform. He tells them about what it took to create GoWild, and issues they experienced along the way, including negativity from others in the hunting community. Brad tells them about the rewards system, which we have personally used and it is pretty sweet! To finish it off Brad talks about the future.

In this episode, we dive deep into some of the differences Keven has seen in the outdoors from here to there. He tells us all about gator hunting and how he likes to prepare them for the table. We talk about iguanas..something I never imagined going hunting for. He explains the problems they cause and why the state needs to manage the population. Last but not least, we go into some details about fishing in Florida. Keven tells us about fishing for certain kinds of sharks, and what they use for bait. We talk about the goliath grouper, one that I have to imagine would be a blast to catch on an ultralight! Thank you all so much for listening!

This week, Kevin sits and talks with JD Piatt of Predator Academy and IcoTec game calls. JD has been predator hunting for a long time, starting in 1982 going after fox. JD tells us all about his start into predator hunting, going from red lights, to day calling, and then getting into night calling with thermal and nightvision. They discuss tactics through the year, what changes he might make to his calling sequences and how he would approach certain situations, like having them howling in front of you but not coming to the call. JD tells us about what raising pet coyotes has taught him, and I was surprised at his answer. JD is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to coyote hunting, so give this one a listen, let us know what you think and please, if you don't mind, give us a rating and review on whatever podcast platform you choose to use. This will help us get this information out to many more people across the board and allow us to continue bringing free information to you! Be sure to check out Predator Academy on youtube and social media, and as always, THANK YOU for listening!

This week, Josh and Kevin talk to 2 coyote hunters that are trying to learn the ropes. We reached out on social media, specifically looking for newer hunters to come on and talk with us about some of the situations they have seen, and ask us any questions they might have. We talk a lot about using lights for coyotes, still a very effective way of hunting coyotes, especially on a tight budget. We also get into some talk about wind direction, how we set up to play the wind, scent control and much more! We want to thank Jake and Mike for spending the time recording with us, and as always, thank you ALL for listening!

This week, Josh and Kevin sit and talk with one of Overdrive Outdoors first staff members, Matt Schalk. Matt is a fellow MI predator hunter, and we have all learned from each other as the years have gone by. Matt, like many others, started hunting coyotes in daylight, but eventually started investing into night hunting. We discuss that transition period, and we talk about some of the gear he would recommend for people just getting started coyote hunting. Matt also talks about his experience using hand calls, and how changing over to an ecall changed his setups and success rates. We of course get into some story telling from hunts that we have shared together, experiences that keep us coming back and much more! As always, THANK YOU for listening!

This week, Kevin sits down and talks to Tim "Spike" Davis of Scattered Thoughts Cartoons. Tim tells us about his life growing up, where he was raised and where he lives now. He talks about what he does for a job, and how he got into cartooning. You have probably seen a few Scattered Thoughts Cartoons floating around social media, and Tim explains how he comes up with his cartoon ideas. Of course, there is some coyote hunting talk mixed in as well! Thank you all once again for listening!

This week, Josh and Kevin sit down and talk with Mr. Jon Collins of Foxpro Hunting TV. If you haven't seen his videos, Jon does a great job getting coyotes killed, on film, and in daylight. We wanted to pick his brain about how he adapts to seasonal changes in the coyote world, from breeding season to winter hunting. He also goes into some of the details about working in the industry and filming for Foxpro Hunting Tv. Living the dream is an understatement! This is another information heavy episode with plenty to learn for both the beginner and experienced coyote hunter, so get your notebooks and click play! We appreciate you all, thank you for listening.

This week, Josh and Kevin sit down with the one and only Tony Tebbe. If you don't know who Tony is, he owns/operates Predator University out of New Mexico. He produces TT Signature sounds for your electronic caller as well as hand calls for your lanyards. Tony tells us all about seasonal changes in the coyotes world, as well as how his tactics change with the changing seasons. He tells us about when and how he uses vocals, when he changes from mostly vocals to mostly distress, and what vocals mean to him. Tony tells us some of his favorite hunting memories both good AND bad, and then tells us how and why he started making his living off coyote hunting. These tactics are great for the beginner AND the experienced caller, so get out your notebook and a pen and give it a listen! And as always, THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

This week Josh and Kevin welcome back Jordan Hoover and welcome Dan Featherstone to the podcast. If you've followed the podcast you've probably heard of Jordan, Dan is another U.P. resident that was also part of the recent Michigan Deer Management Initiative (DMI). Jordan and Dan recount more specific things that transpired during the DMI and the most recent meeting of the Natural Resources Commission. Jordan and Dan both discuss the issues, the info they learned, the people they learned it from and the importance of using that data to help manage our deer as a natural resource, to increase the number of healthy deer where needed and manage overpopulation in other areas as well as managing sex ratios. They then both discuss how, from what was seen, the information gathered from quality sources was disregarded by the NRC. They discuss their personal experiences (that are shared by a lot of other people that have been following this) on how the meeting was poorly run, the NRC didn't seem to have an acceptable level of knowledge about what the issues were and did not want to listen to the information that was presented. Some other things that happened during the meeting and before the meeting are also discussed, including personal interactions between NRC members, and special interest group representatives. We discuss how many deer groups in the state don't seem to be getting involved at the level we would like to see them, as well as individual hunters as a whole that aren't collectively making their voices heard. Folks, if we don't get involved NOW you may not like the future of hunting and fishing in this state. We need to work together to effect change. Get involved, get educated and be a voice that cannot be ignored. At the end of the podcast, Jordan outlines several things that YOU can do to join this effort, and the importance of doing so. Specific things that don't even take much time or effort, but can, if we come together, make a difference, but if we fail to do so, we will have a struggle to help the hunters in this state have a voice and improve the quality of our natural resource management based on science.
