This episode is just me being straight about my Illinois rut hunt. I shot a smaller 8-point. He wasn’t a hammer, a magnum, or anything people are gonna freak out about online but the hunt was really an amazing experience after I parsed it out over the last few weeks. I achieved some things that were breakthroughs for me and that was important.

The problem lies not in what happened, but how I perceived it as it was happening and even for a while after it happened. I really did struggle with comparing myself to guys on Instagram where it looked like another 170 was dropping every 30 minutes. Not only did it make me second guess myself after I took the shot, but I was initially embarrassed and considered not posting anything about it.

That's the shame. I accomplished something really big for my journey and I was embarrassed about sharing it. Social media has really messed with our heads as hunters — making us second-guess hunts we’d normally be pumped about, and compare ourselves to guys hunting managed farms or doing this for a living. Most of us aren’t in those situations, and that pressure gets into your decision-making if you let it.

This the best advice I heard this offseason: “You can’t get good at killing big deer if you don't get good at killing deer.” There is a lot that goes into that and I talk about what that means to me. That was in my mind when this buck walked in. I needed the rep. I needed to execute a real shot on a real animal instead of sitting around waiting for a 170 that may never show and then going back into my yard and pounding foam again.

This episode is just an honest look at where I’m at as a hunter right now, what I’m working on, and why this buck mattered to me even if he wouldn’t break the internet.

In this episode, I sit down with NFL veteran Trent Murphy for a wide-open conversation about football, competition, discipline, and the lifestyle that shaped him on and off the field.

Trent walks through his journey from Stanford to the NFL Combine, breaking down what the combine is really like—how athletes train, what scouts actually look for, and the make-or-break moments that define a career before it even starts.

We dive into some of the toughest and most talented players he ever battled in the trenches, the matchups that sharpened him, and the stories that only someone who lived it can tell. From elite offensive linemen to rising stars, Trent names names and explains what separated the great ones.

He also gives his unfiltered perspective on the current state of college football—NIL, the transfer portal, the shifting culture, and what young players need to understand if they want to thrive at the next level.

Trent opens up about how bowhunting became his escape from the constant noise, pressure, and intensity of the NFL. He talks about discovering archery as a way to reset mentally, find peace, and reconnect with nature. That passion didn’t fade after football—it actually deepened. Trent shares how bowhunting evolved into a grounding force in his life long after the stadium lights went out, helping him stay focused, intentional, and centered.

From football to personal growth to the outdoors, this episode gives you inside access to the mindset and habits of a true competitor and lifelong learner. If you’re a football fan, a hunter, or someone who loves high-performance conversations, this one hits every level.

College Football Show Week 12 - We are previewing this weekends Upset Alerts as well as the compelling match-ups in the Top 25. Along the way we discuss the mess that is the ACC and the new College Football Playoff Rankings

On today’s episode of the Do Not Go Quietly Podcast, we’re joined by one of the most calculated and successful whitetail hunters in the country — Greg Glesinger of Huntworx TV.

If you’ve followed Greg’s hunts, you know he doesn’t just hunt the rut — he owns it. From calling and stand placement to reading body language and using decoys to trigger dominant bucks, Greg breaks down the small details that make big deer do big mistakes.

We get into how he times his hunts around weather and moon phases, what kind of bucks react best to decoys, and how to build a setup that convinces even the most mature deer to commit.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn the art of decoying during the rut — from one of the best in the business — you’re in the right place.
Let’s dive in with Greg Glesinger of Huntworx TV.”

Today I sit down with Joe Miles, the founder of Asio Gear & host of the Mission Whitetail Podcast. Joe is a diehard whitetail hunter but chases big game with his bow all over the world. We covered a ton of ground — starting with public land strategy and how Joe approaches hunting brand new pieces of ground.

We dug into rut tactics specifically for public land hunters, and the mindset shifts it takes to be successful when pressure is high.

We also talked about the importance of mentors — how finding the right ones can help you grow as a hunter, and how to filter through the flood of information out there on podcasts, YouTube, and social media to figure out what really works in the field.

And to round things out, Joe broke down his personal arrow setup — what he feels like might be the ultimate whitetail killer. If you’re serious about becoming a better bowhunter and making the most of your time in the woods, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.Y

It's opening week in many states for Whitetail and we are only a few weeks from the rut kicking in. In addition to some great hunting content in the next few weeks focused specifically on the rut, I want to give ya'll some good content around College Football so you have something to listen to in the truck as you travel to your hunting spot or in the blind for those all day sits.

We had a big week with Penn State AND Texas losing BIG to teams they should have beat and falling out of the top 25.Traditional powers Ohio State, Alabama, Oklahoma, & Oregon continue to impress. Texas A & M, Ol' Miss, Oregon, just continue getting better and better.

This week will be a BIG week. While there aren't a lot of top 10 match-ups, there are a lot of Top 10 teams playing games against quality opponents that could trip them up. The next 3 weeks, when all the Top 10 teams get into the meat of their conference schedules, we are going to see the wheat get separated from the chafe.

Pull up a chair because there are gonna be some serious tilts this weekend. How can you not love college football !!
