In this episode of The Grit, we head to the rugged landscapes of New York, where the forests are thick, the turkeys are wily, and the whitetail deer roam with a quiet majesty. Join us as we dive into the heart of hunting culture in the Empire State, swapping stories of early morning turkey hunts, the thrill of the chase, and the deep respect we hold for the land and the game we pursue that transcends oceans.

We’ll sit down with our latest guest Megan Plete-Postol and her hand in shaping the future of hunting and conservation. From her efforts with the National Deer Association as their NE Regional Director, to preserve whitetail habitats to the inspiring work of Artemis Sportswomen and her recent success in becoming a licensed NY State Guide and as a writer for Outdoor News, we explore how women are leading the charge in protecting  outdoor traditions.

Whether you’re a seasoned hunter, an angler with a passion for the wild, or just someone who loves a good story about grit and determination, this episode is for you. So grab your gear, lace up your boots, and join us as we celebrate the women who hunt, fish, shoot, and inspire us all to keep the spirit of the wild alive.

In this episode, we break down what it takes to hunt an animal that lives where the earth meets the sky. BC native, Katherine walks us through the years of near-misses: the storms that pinned her down, vertical shin-scrapers and winds that’ll slap the optimism right outta ya - and of course, the humbling truth that goats don’t care how badly you want them. But, when she finally closed the distance on that billy, it wasn’t just a harvest—it was a reckoning.

Happy Pride month Y'all! This pride month special episode, we cast our line into uncharted waters and reel in an inspiring conversation with one half of the dynamic director duo of the groundbreaking TV series Get Hooked. Exploring our outdoor community that too often narrows women’s stories to a single reel. Leah's spent her career framing stories in all their nuance, grit, and brilliance. From the first spark of inspiration—when the tide of representation felt besieged—to the  moment the show hit the airwaves, our guest takes us behind the camera and into the heart of storytelling that celebrates queer joy, resilience and place in the outdoors.

On the surface, small-bore target shooting is a game of quiet precision. But for British Champion Courtney, the real battle isn't against the target or her other competitors —it's fought in the six inches between her ears and across social media.

In this episode of The Grit, we sit down with Courtney as she climbs the ranks toward becoming one of the top talents in the discipline. We break down the immense mental fortitude required to quiet the noise and find perfection in repetition. Beyond the firing line, we talk shop about the modern challenges facing shooting sports: the silent, algorithmic censorship, shadow-banning our community online and the fight to preserve knowledge and passion in a digital landscape that's increasingly hostile to it.

This is a story about the relentless pursuit of a goal measured in millimetres, the unexpected kinship found in a community of disciplined individuals, and the resilience required to defend your passion. It's about the grit it takes to hold steady, both on the range and off.
