301 Jedi and Dixie - Maine Cabin Masters - Restoring Maine's Deer Camps


Every deer hunter has dreamed of owning their own hunting camp.  Most camps or hunting cabins are usually weathered, or shifted, or rotted. Not to worry though, the Maine Cabin Masters can turn a teardown into an almost-new deer camp palace in just a few months.  We hash out the details of finding and rebuilding a deer cabin with Dixie and Jedi, (aka Matt Dix and Jared Baker of the show Maine Cabin Masters.  And of course, we talk about Matt and Jared's Maine deer hunting adventures.

BBR300 - John Nores - Hunter, Warden, Conservation, Hidden War


California Game Warden Lt. John Nores, now retired, has been at the forefront and on the front lines of an under-reported battle against thousands of drug cartel members who grow toxic marijuana on U.S. soil. Not only does black market marijuana cultivation undermine legitimate growers, but it endangers lives and wildlife populations unimagined. Jay breaks down the book Hidden War with Author John Nores and talks deer hunting in John's home state of Montana.

LISTEN/REVIEW/SUBSCRIBE IN iTUNES: CLICK HERE

This might be the first ever podcast recorded in a treestand!  Dave Hoffman was always in the woods as a kid, playing outside, building stuff.  Studying the trades, Dave developed his skills as a master builder and turned his skills to log homes.  He's built log homes all over the world.  The Turkish actually love them!   Dave still builds amazing log homes, but he also builds some of the world's most amazing treestands (really more like a house in a tree, or a tree house).  Hands down, these ware the most comfortable treestands on the planet.

We discuss in detail Dave's story and we break down the types of treestands that Dave builds.  These are great for the outfitter.... keeping you clients happy and comfortable.  But they also act as a great treehouse in the off season for kids and a great place to get away for peace of mind.  The treestand fly high!

Here are Dave's Models:

  • The Falcon
  • The Redhawk
  • The Kestrel
  • The Kite
  • The Bald Eagle

Learn all about the World's Most Comfortable Treestand in this show!
