Big Hunt Guys

In this episode, Brady and Trail lay out their blueprint for building a reliable hunting clothing system. They cover everything from next-to-skin base layers to insulation, outer layers, and footwear—breaking down how each piece plays a role in comfort and performance. They cover the purpose behind each layer, how to adapt for different seasons, and the small details that make a big difference.

In this solo episode of Game Trail Podcast, Trail dives deep into one of the most frustrating challenges archers and bowhunters face—target panic. Drawing from personal experience, he shares how target panic affected his shooting, the mental battles that came with it, and the turning point that helped him break free. Trail walks through the exact steps he used to overcome it, along with practical tips you can apply right away to regain control, rebuild confidence, and improve your shot execution. Whether you're struggling with freezing up, punching the trigger, or just feeling off your game, this episode offers real-world advice from someone who’s been there.

Travis Nowotny is one of the most lethal mountain hunters I know. In this episode, we sat down to talk bears, and it turned into one of those conversations I just didn’t want to end. Travis breaks down his entire approach to spring black bear hunting — from reading the green-up to picking the right terrain, hunting pressure-free country, and how early-season warmth like we’re seeing this year completely changes where bears will be. We dig into bow vs. rifle tactics, why backpacking into bear country makes sense, and the one terrain feature he always keys on. We also get into e-scouting strategies for out-of-state tags, building hunting circles with guys who actually want to help each other, and why your hunting approach has to evolve as life gets busier. Travis opens up about balancing running Goat Knives, electrical work, family, and still finding a way to put himself on animals year after year — and honestly, the perspective he brings on why we hunt is something I greatly respect.

In the outback of Australia, Brady sits down with Drew Miles of Tricer to talk Sambar deer, hunting styles, and gear built to work when it counts. They break down what makes Sambar so tough to hunt, what they learned hunting with Australian locals, and why some shot opportunities in that country only last seconds. They also get into the nuts and bolts of the hunt—field care, packing meat, cooking Sambar deer, and the little details that matter when you’re a long way from the truck. We talk a lot of gear, including the Neville brothers’ Rough Ridge Stove company, Tricer gear innovation, and building products for hunters who actually use their gear hard. From bipods and panheads to micro-panning and backcountry stoves, this conversation is all about finding better ways to hunt.
