    These two gentlemen are legends. Being 55 years old I grew up watching these two. I don’t know how you could be mad at either one of them for their success because they put the work in. Keep Hammering boys.

    Two of the absolute best in this industry. Waddy has some of the absolute best one-liners! T-bone is running a strong second!

    This is the most important podcast in many years. The friction in the community has been growing for so many of the reasons discussed here.
    I’ll admit I’ve probably been one of the jealous guys at times, but watching Cam and Michael talk brought it all back home. So much mutual respect between 2 icons who have found a way to stay humble.
    Share and share more.
    Happy hunting gents.

    Waddel on the keep hammering collective! Is there a hunter on the planet who doesn’t know who he is? Such a humble guy it seems like too. Great show. I could listen to him tell stories all night

  • @K.Fulkerson
    @K.Fulkerson Před 4 měsíci +2

    Awesome! I’ve been a Roadtrips fan since the beginning! I was watching Michael when he worked for Bill Jordan and have been following Cam for years! Two important voices in the hunting community!

    Your best podcast not that they all aren’t great, this one is just the best to date! Loved hearing about the two of you coming up and achieving success, talking about your hero’s Chuck Adam’s, Jim Shockey, Roy! The Easton autumn orange, game getters! I date back to those days and cherish those early days, and still cherish every day in the field, even though I am getting long in the tooth!

    This pod cast has made me realize that I need to chase my dream. I want to hunt for a living and I have no clue how I’m going to do but I just remember what the scripture says “You can make many plans but the Lords purpose will prevail” I want to hunt for a living but I am not going to stress out about because I know that the Lord has a plan for me.

    I've always like Michael. He's got such a great personality, so honest and down to earth plus he's a awesome bow shot and hunter.

  • @ericgrant8783
    @ericgrant8783 Před 4 měsíci +1

    To the most respected men in Bo hunting. Genesis 27.3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me venison; I’m just a simple truck, driver, that loves to bow hunt. Long long before any of us drew our first breath, I have respect for both of you. Keep on keeping on God bless and take care.

  • @mikegeselle405
    @mikegeselle405 Před 4 měsíci +1

    I remember when Waddell first started, and I’ve always thought he would be so fun to share a camp with. This is one of my favorite episodes of your podcast so far. So awesome you two got together for this.

  • @frostyvlog4547
    @frostyvlog4547 Před 4 měsíci +1

    Michael is one of those guys that got me in the treestand during weekends in high school and up even thru college; I loved hunting already but I blame him for me being late for final exams or late to the dinner hall in poke dunk Kansas (college); I also give him my thanks, that he will never even know, for keeping me out of trouble, wether it being college bars and party corruption, it kept my head on a swivel. Watching his excitement and passion fueled mine. He was hustling as cameraman and hell of a shot during those monster bucks shoots; he was my “chuck adams” 😊

  • @ryancrosson26
    @ryancrosson26 Před 4 měsíci +2

    Somehow hunting is a heritage but how to pass it on is tough .

  • @user-kx5ox6jg7t
    @user-kx5ox6jg7t Před 4 měsíci +1

    Money is pushing the adventure to way outside middle class economic.
    Even here in Indiana which I grew up being allowed to hunt around everywhere.
    Leases have exploded. I believe in never trespassing. Don’t disrespect another property. But I have been priced out of hunting.
    A guided hunt is 10k.
    These men remember when they started. But the names who they mention are millionaires.
    Last area I heard person are flying in on private jets to go hunt.
    If this is a minuscule perspective just around Indiana then I might be moving.
    I don’t see too many new young hunters around me. Lots are zero land out. Some public land might be an option.
    Thank you for your podcast. It was a great interview.

  • @TheSouthernAnglerSP
    @TheSouthernAnglerSP Před 4 měsíci +1

    Im from Marbella, Spain, hunting is a big part of our original culture but lately the whole country took a more liberal, socialist approach and definitely social media is damaging our hunting community. Misinformation and lack of values stand within our society, it’s sad to say but we are facing the worst time to be a serious hunter and trying to monetice professionalism as almost everyone rejects it, it’s only small groups and private land.

    • @TheSouthernAnglerSP

    Not to rag on you as stated in the podcast but a humble person doesn’t call themselves humble 25 times in a podcast 😂.
