The Fowl Life

Chad is joined by Gregg Farrell, of Tactacam cameras. They dig into the modern hunting world and how much it’s changed. From fall weather and time outdoors to the rise of trail cameras, new tech, and the ethical questions that come with all of it. They talk about conservation, wildlife management, and the responsibility hunters carry as technology advances. They also get into the connection with nature, the excitement of the hunt, and the community that keeps this lifestyle alive. It's a thoughtful, interesting, and real conversation about the future of hunting and the roots we can’t afford to lose.

Chad sits down with Bo Jackson for a conversation that goes way beyond sports. Bo opens up about his childhood, how he discovered hunting, and the values that carried him through the toughest parts of his life. His mindset from injury, to loss, and everything in between. He talks about shooting a bow in the locker room, hunt camp stories, prayer, raising kids, and the pressure young athletes face today. Bo shares advice for parents, insight from decades of experience, and a reminder that money can buy gear, but it can’t buy talent, grit, or character. A rare, personal look at a legend whose life has been defined by much more than athletic greatness. We know you'll love this one!

In Part 2, Chad and Dave Stanley talk about age, time, and what life teaches you when you’ve been doing this for decades. They get personal about fatherhood, being girl dads, and how that changed their priorities and perspective. They touch on one of their biggest inspirations as a person, Les Nesbit, and they talk details of their dream hunts, and the people who shaped them along the way. They spend some time on the waterfowl world.; what’s changed, what hasn’t, and what the industry gets right and wrong. Dave has an important take on the role of media and the misconception that great footage is just “point and shoot.” Chad reflects on credibility, ego, and the difference between people who’ve earned it and people who just post about it online. It's another insightful, honest conversation about passion, legacy, and caring deeply about a lifestyle that’s given them everything. We know you'll love this one!
