Our guest this week on Fall Obsession Podcast is Chad Davis, the founder of the brands BOWADX and EUROADX! Chad is one of the most passionate and down to earth hunters and outdoorsmen you will find in our world today. He joins us to share his story and the passion behind the brands he has started. Both came from a simple idea, and a concept that he felt the need to build a company on and to deliver a product the industry was lacking. For BowAdx it was the want for simply a cleaner and more desirable archery apparel. EuroAdx is his recent endeavor, engineering a mounting system that allows you to customize your euro mount to your needs. We talk about Chad's journey with these brands and as a hunter himself, and much more! One thing is for sure, if Chad puts his mind to it, great things are soon to follow!

The Yukon is one of the most rugged, natural and vast wildernesses we have today on this planet, and one man stands out amongst all others as someone who not only takes on the challenges of these wildlands, but considers it a privilege and honor to live there, to connect with the land and to steward its wildlife. The one and only Jim Shockey is our guest this week on Fall Obsession Podcast. For decades Jim has been known for embarking on some of the greatest hunting adventures and wilderness challenges known to man. And while we do talk about some of Jim's great adventures over the years, our conversation is one of authenticity and humility as Jim shares his raw thoughts and passions for hunting these great North American regions, his love and care for the animals that dwell there, his opinions of the rules and regulations that in his area both help and hurt wildlife and hunters alike, and so much more. One paragraph cannot fully summarize this episode with one of the greatest outdoorsmen of our generation; one can only tune in and listen for yourself!

From day one, Aaron Davidson has been engineering more than just rifles. He has been refining and perfecting long range hunting and shooting rifle. Aaron joins us for this episode to talk about the journey and development of his company, Gunwerks. In two decades, Aaron and his Gunwerks team have revolutionized the long range shooting experience through their innovative ambitions, bringing concepts to life and creating products that quite literally have never been seen before. Being the best and most precise firearm manufacturer in the world does not come easy or without risks, and Aaron shares with us what that journey has looked like for him. We also talk more than just firearms. Aaron is very passionate about similar topics as us, including legislative decisions impacting the future of hunting. Aaron holds a unique and very well respected opinion on the recent public land sale/crisis out west; one that has yet to be shared on this show.

More information is readily available for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts than ever before. An outdoorsman's ability to share their thoughts, express their opinions and likewise to learn from others has never been this easy. It works both in our favor and against us. In this episode, Sam sits down to share some more intentional and passionate discussion starters with us. He talks about why hunters should be political and social media and the recent conservation battlefield and public land issues relating to politics. He shares some thoughts and recent online conversations through it all with those discussing the gradual decline of private and public access. He also talks about the broad reach of Fall Obsession; a National Brand walking the line between education and entertainment in an online content world. This is a very inspiring and inquisitive discussion that will leave you with thoughts and perspectives you didn't have before.

When we invited Michael Scrogan; host of The Hunting Stories Podcast on our show he had a special request. He asked to have a "round table" conversation with some of our Fall Obsession team members and exchange hunting stories, hang out and just enjoy each other's company for an evening. So, that's exactly what we did! Michael, as a relatively new hunter himself shares a little about his journey and what inspired him to start a podcast, and then we dive in! If you are looking to tune into a conversation that has a "hunting camp" pulse to it and will make you feel like you are sitting around a campfire with us, then look no further! Press play and enjoy!

In the midst of one of the greatest threats our North American public lands have ever faced, we are seeing hunters and outdoors men and women alike coming together and taking a stand against Utah Senator Mike Lee's greedy attempt to sell off what does not belong to him. In a special episode release, we are joined by John Stallone from HOWL for Wildlife and Jesse Johnson; an avid public land owner to discuss this very issue. Senator Lee's efforts are far from any honest effort to create affordable housing or assist with national economic relief. Instead it is a vicious attempt to rob the American people of what is rightfully theirs under the cloak of conservatism, with underlying motives that are only self-serving. We dive deep into the nuts and bolts of this public land crisis in this episode, and several other issues. If there is ever a time for hunters to be political and to stand for what they believe in, it is now. Call your Senators - (202) 224-3121 and tell them to stop the sale of our Public Lands.

Sam is joined this week by two of our own Colorado Resident Hunters; Tim Berges and John Kesler to talk about some of the current hunting and conservation issues Colorado is facing right now. There is a lot to unpack on this subject and in this episode, specifically 2025 hunting season expectations and game numbers, upcoming 2028 draw changes and what to do with your accrued points between now and then, the "Stop the Wolf" project to end the wolf reintroduction, and much more. The guys also discuss a new measure; "Initiative 98" coming to light in Colorado, that if gained traction could have a bigger impact on hunting in Colorado than Proposition 127 EVER would have. It doesn't matter where you live or where you hunt, you need to listen to what these guys have to say and pay attention to what is happening on the conservation battlefield right now.
