As a Brit, this may surprise you…. but our mainstream media is not generally a good representation of our people, hearing Brian was a hunter meant he was the only golfer i actually wanted to win… or even knew his name
I love it when my two favorite activities collide. Been waiting on this one.
Well I think you answered you turkey problem, here is my suggestion that was overlooked and is what I actually do and our numbers are increasing where the rest of the state is decreasing in turkey population. Keep up the trapping of predators and take as many racoons, skunks and bobcats as possible. I know some states don't let you do the bobcats but should, so do what you can there. The hogs can and should be trapped we trapped 150+ hogs our first year and the boy-scouts were very grateful to turn them into sausage for their campouts. also maintaining a presence on the property helps deter the hogs from coming back onto your property. I am not sure your quail numbers but if you don't have any or much and they used to be there then bobcats are your main problem. My rule of thumb on bobcats is if you see one then you probably have five.
ao what i've taken away from this, is that a caddy is sort of a spotter for a sniper
A golf course is a waste of a good rifle range
So i guess fixed arrowheads are better when coming into cinract with bone? But expandable would be better in a flesh only shot? Makes sense i guess
I developed a flinch as a kid that took me years to get rid of, and a big part of it was reacting to blast. Steve is 100% here.
Very interested to know what key Brian goes to I’m born and raised in Marathon lobster and Stone crab fisherman. Great Ep!
Shoot a real mechanical Grimm reaper will blow through rage is crap. My son draws 45lbs he shoots Grimm reapers they blow through
You guy's should have Uncle Si and Jay Stone on your podcast.
I think Steve would be surprised by how many PGA Tour golfers hunt. In fact many have spent significant time hunting to the obvious detriment of their careers, (looking at you Boo Weekly). Steve Stricker skipped the fall season in his prime multiple times, forgoing easy prize money to go hunting instead.
In fact I would say that because of hunting and the overlap with start of the PGA Tour season, 3-4 guys a year put themselves in a hole to go hunting instead of play the fall events and get a ahead start on the season, Brian Harmon is a really good example of that actually.
So don't stop at Harmon, there's plenty more hunting golfers out there for you to interview, this is an untapped space in the golf podcasting world.
Avid hunter all my life. Got into golf a couple years ago, and talk about frustrating, difficult, time consuming, and addictive. Reminds me a lot of bow hunting. Great guest!!!!!! Down to earth love to see that in that industry.
This was a great episode! Brian seems like the man, I hope “the Butcher”, Steve, and Cal are on a episode soon.
Great podcast. Can you please link the guests social media? I'm 50 and can't find it………Thank you
Come try hockey next
put the country in country club
Ther are only two inherit fears: Loud noise and falling. Cork up those little ears!
It might have been more fun to find Mastodon bones wrapped up in Cave Lion hide; I mean, Cave Lion bones inside a Cave Lion skin….. seems right.
Man! This is the most rambling bullshit "what the fuck? what is this? was I listening to this? What is this?" OF ALL TIME… jesus dude, have a basic game plan or something.
