This week on the Spotted Dog Podcast, we're joined by Jay James, Regional Sales Manager for Escalade Sports Archery Division, for an in-depth look at what's new in the archery industry.

From Bear Archery's latest bows, including the Whitetail NXT and flagship SOURCE, to big changes at Gold Tip, Trophy Ridge accessories, and more, we cover a lot of ground.

We talk bow performance, pricing, new technology, Total Archery Challenge, and why Bear Archery deserves a serious look from hunters of all experience levels.

Whether you're shopping for your first bow or looking to upgrade your current setup, this episode is packed with information you won't want to miss!

Deer season is here, and Dan DeWitt is back at the Spotted Dog Podcast table with Nolan, Cory Bahr, and Zach Poole for a deep dive into whitetail hunting.

Dan shares decades of hunting experience and breaks down how he uses mock scrapes, scent, trail cameras, terrain, thermals, feeding schedules, and hunting pressure to pattern mature bucks. The guys get into early-season and velvet tactics, why the first big October cold front can be so productive, using topo maps to find saddles and travel corridors, conditioning deer around feeders and cameras, and some unconventional tactics that might make you rethink the way you hunt.

They also recap the Idaho spring bear hunt, talk 7mm Backcountry rifles and mountain hunting gear, debate Louisiana deer management and “earn-a-buck” regulations, and hear some incredible stories from Dan’s hunts across Africa.

From chasing bears in the Idaho mountains to figuring out a mature whitetail in your own backyard, this one is packed with hunting stories, laughs, and tactics you can put to work this season.

Plus, Tax Free Weekend is happening September 4–6 at Spotted Dog Sporting Goods in Columbia, Louisiana.
