Matthew's Fall 2026 Gear Dump

Host Matthew Morris opens the Bowyers Podcast on the Marine Corps birthday, reflects on Veterans Day and supporting veterans, and shares updates on deer rut and upcoming bear season while encouraging listeners to support small businesses. He then interviews eastern Tennessee houndsmen and longtime friends Matt Miller and Paul Bruner of G Valley Hounds about their decades of bear hunting with hounds, the communal, family-centered culture of their bear camp, and the importance of preserving hounding by bringing in kids, first-timers, and responsible new hunters. They discuss taking veterans afield as a way to give back and announce a collaboration with Vortex Optics and the American Bear Foundation to donate a free bear hunt to one veteran for fall 2027, with entry via social media and a random drawing on December 24, 2026; food and lodging are included, with travel and Tennessee licenses/tags covered by the winner. Paul also recounts the story of their 614-pound bear and how it helped spur their plans to begin officially outfitting in 2027.

In episode three of The Bowyer Podcast’s “Be a Man” series, host Matthew Morris talks with author and counselor Luke (L.S.) Goozdich about why men need “story” through both literature and personal narrative. Luke shares his background living with a congenital heart defect, later blood clots, and ongoing organ failure, and explains how rejecting fatalism and choosing empowering narratives helped him keep moving forward. They discuss modern victim mentality, the influence of fiction on boys and men, and reading as a form of rebellion against constant phone-driven stimulation. Gudish describes his path into adventure fiction via ’80s action films and Louis L’Amour, co-founding Veritas Entertainment and the Men’s Adventure Fiction Podcast, and outlines his Noah Redford series (Fire in the Tall Grass, Odyssey of Fire, and upcoming Fire in the Tomb).

On Episode 2 of the Be A Man series , host Matthew Morris and guest Bryan Burkhardt discuss how to balance family duties, career obligations, and outdoor callings. Bryan Burkhardt, a longtime GM executive and Past-President with Compton Traditional Bowhunters, shares how he made time for marriage, fatherhood, faith, and demanding work while prioritizing wilderness time to “recalibrate.” The conversation covers mentorship, setting expectations at home and at work for extended trips, and how solitude in places like Alaska drives reflection and perspective. Brian recounts early adventure hunts inspired by Fred Bear, his first major trip to the Northwest Territories, and being stranded during 9/11, plus close encounters with grizzlies and aggressive moose. He emphasizes priorities, goal-setting, and doing the right things at the right time—without being too hard on yourself.

Matthew Morris introduces a 10-part “Be a Man” series on The Bowyer Podcast that shifts focus from traditional bowhunting to conversations about masculinity, faith, family, and character, beginning with “Adventure.” He and guest Monty Browning (77½ year-old), a longtime arborist, traditional bowhunter, author, and mentor, discuss warm friendships , service, and fellowship. - alongside grit, austerity, and adventure. Monty recounts dangerous, formative adventures: hunting muskox in extreme Arctic cold with a homemade Osage bow, mountain hunting in Turkey, Cape buffalo in Mozambique amid landmines and armed ex-combatants, and a close-quarters Alaska brown bear kill with a longbow. Monty explains how poverty, early dreams, a low-cost elk hunt, saving and borrowing money, and hard work enabled decades of travel - while being a postal worker and dedicated husband. They argue men need risk, discomfort, and facing fears to grow, return recalibrated to family life, and practice honesty, humility, integrity, service, and emotional openness.
