A little backstory on this week's guest, I met Connor a few weeks ago at the Ducks Unlimited banquet and wouldn't you know it, we had quite a bit in common. Connor runs the social media pages and youtube channel bass all year and we sat down and had a long conversation about well, almost everything but bass. We talked deer hunting all over the South East, duck hunting all over Florida and the US and did in the end talk a little bass fishing and of course the young man in the very beginning needs no introduction as he's a repeat guest whenever he’s got a great story to tell so buckle up for my son Rhylan’s recent story about a big ole red ear sunfish that is by far his personal best and he’ll have a tough time beating it for sure.

This week we’re diving into a topic that every hunter, regardless of where they hunt or what they hunt, can appreciate. We’re talking about the most influential pieces of hunting gear ever invented.Now, hunting has been around for thousands of years, and over that time there have been countless innovations that changed the game. Some made hunters more accurate. Some made them more efficient. Others completely transformed the way we locate, pursue, and manage wildlife. But if you had to make a list of the inventions that had the biggest impact on hunting history, what would make the cut?That’s exactly what we’re going to discuss today. We’re going to rank seven pieces of hunting gear that changed the sport forever, from primitive weapons that fed entire civilizations to modern technology that’s helping hunters gather more information than ever before. Along the way we’ll talk about how each invention worked, why it mattered, and how it changed the hunting landscape for generations that followed.Whether you’re a traditional bowhunter who appreciates the roots of the sport, a rifle hunter who loves the evolution of firearms, or somebody who can’t imagine hunting without a GPS or a cell camera, there’s going to be something in this episode for you.So grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and let’s take a journey through hunting history as we count down the most influential pieces of hunting gear ever invented.UPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/ UPO Social Media- https://linktrh.ee/underpressureoutdoorsBecome a Patron- https://www.patreon.com/user?u=45295718Deep Roots Rifle Company- Use Code UPO10 to save 10%

In November of 2004, deep in the forests of Sawyer County, Wisconsin, what should have been a routine opening weekend of deer season turned into one of the most shocking crimes in American hunting history. Six hunters were killed and two others were wounded during a confrontation in the woods near the tiny community of Meteor—an event that would later become known as the Wisconsin Tree Stand Murders.In this episode, we walk through the full story from start to finish: the early morning hunt, the confrontation over land and boundaries, the chaos that followed in the timber, the massive manhunt that crossed state lines, and the courtroom battle that ended with a life sentence. We also revisit the decades-long aftermath and the recent news of the killer’s death in prison more than twenty years later, bringing renewed attention to a case that still echoes through the hunting community today.This is a story about deer camp tradition, conflict in the woods, and how quickly a normal day outdoors can turn into something unthinkable.UPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/UPO Social Media- https://linktrh.ee/underpressureoutdoorsBecome a Patron- https://www.patreon.com/user?u=45295718Deep Roots Rifle Company- Use Code UPO10 to save 10%

This week we sat down with Hunter Barrett of Fortified Cotton Seed to break down one of the most talked-about shifts in modern whitetail management—moving away from traditional corn piles and high-cost protein feeds toward a more natural, cost-effective alternative.Hunter walks us through how cottonseed-based supplementation is being used by land managers and hunters across the South to support body condition, antler growth, and herd health without the drawbacks that often come with heavy corn feeding. We dig into when and how to use cottonseed, how it compares nutritionally to corn and pelleted protein, and what role it can realistically play in year-round deer management strategies.Whether you manage a small food plot or thousands of acres, this conversation challenges the way we think about supplemental feeding for whitetail deer and offers practical insight you can apply right away heading into the season.https://fortifiedcottonseed.com/DAYTONA 55 TICKETS!!!- https://daytonaarchersinc.com/event/daytona-55/#tribe-tickets__tickets-formHangFree- https://hangfree.co/ Use code UPO10 at checkout for 10% off your next order!Dayton Archers Club- https://daytonaarchersinc.com/ Mention UPO and get 10% off your membershipBecome a Patron- https://www.patreon.com/user?u=45295718UPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/ UPO Social Media- https://linktr.ee/underpressureoutdoors
