“Chasing Thunder” with Walt Gabbard

A quick update that Sam Hunter Podcast now has video and a brief description of deer preparations for the 24/25 season, along with some random helpful facts!

I talk hunting and songwriting with the talented Walt Gabbard. We discuss many topics including introducing kids to hunting, turkey hunting tactics, songwriting, and so much more!

A quick guide at a method that may drive you to madness, but on the other hand, just might land you that sneaky, hard to get gobbler this season utilizing some major patience and a few other key tactics.

I discuss that brief moment in time after deer & duck season, right before turkey season, where the daunting & never ending “to do list” starts to appear larger and larger through the lens of a passionate & hungry hunter.

Hear the story of the final day of duck season, where police asked us over the loud speaker to come out of the woods with our hands up, when we were hunting legally on private property. I discuss how crucial & beneficial all types of hunting are for conservation as a whole, whether suburban hunting, hunting in the country, or both, it’s imperative that hunters work together to benefit the tradition of hunting now, and in the future.

Listen as I speak with the talented “No Skunk Gang” as we speak on duck hunting in Georgia, what Georgia DNR, Georgia Duck Hunters, & Georgia Private Land Owners can do collectively to improve duck hunting in the good ol’ Peach State in the long run, Being Hunted While Duck Hunting by Unexpected Predators, and the Tastiest Ducks to Cook Up, & How to Cook Them!

This episode goes into the details surrounding the hunt for the buck I dubbed “Big 6”. It touches on a hunt gone wrong on my number 2 target buck and the success of my number 3 target buck, as well as the continual pursuit of my number 1 target buck. This episode prompts the question, given the opportunity, would you shoot at a great buck that isn’t your #1 target?

A story of my first public land duck hunt in Georgia and taking down my first ever wood duck.

Join me as I talk with Elizabeth Brownell of “Rookie Hunting” about coming from being a vegan to now an avid hunter who loves wild game, walkthroughs of hunts, and the edge the name “Rookie Hunting” gives her to be vulnerable and real with her hunts, rather than having to live up to other hunters’ expectations.

The story of an amazing neighborhood buck that was shot, dead in our minds, and then… not so dead. After another successful hunt on a different deer in the big woods, Wes would again meet up with this neighborhood buck in a finish that seems like it would only happen in a movie.
