In this episode of Beyond the Target, we sit down with hunting guides who have been in the business for over 30 years to cut through the noise and settle some of the biggest debates in the hunting world.

From caliber choices to bullet selection, we ask the questions that always seem to start arguments. What’s the smallest caliber they trust? What bullets actually perform in the field? And how do popular debates like .308 vs 6.5 Creedmoor really stack up when you’re guiding hunts for clients?

This isn’t theory or internet opinions—this is real-world experience from guides who have helped hunters succeed time and time again.

If you’ve ever wondered what actually works versus what just sounds good online, this episode delivers honest answers, practical insight, and a few strong opinions along the way.
