Sheep Hunts, Belly Bombs, & the Brooks Range
Weapon talk for Dropped sets the stage, but it turns quick—locker-room mornings that went sideways, forgotten quivers at the stand, and hunts wrecked by fried-chicken belly bombs.
Then it’s back to t…
Basecamp, Bucks, & the Brotherhood
The rush has been real. In 24 hours we ripped down to Ohio, fed out twelve tons of corn, dropped in new capsule feeders, tested 1900’s “Bonnie and Clyde” attractant, and watched the herd hammer it li…
Meat Sweats, Gut Checks, & the Trail Cam Dinosaur
We lit the Jetboil and went to work. Freeze-dried meals built in a Pennsylvania garage—not factory slop, but legit recipes designed for the backcountry. Ground beef and tallow. Sweet potato and sausa…
Steel, Smoke, & the 2500 HD Controlled Burn
We sit down with Greg Walters from Winchester Safes and talk shop—how his family built a business tough enough to carry the Winchester name, and the kind of gear upgrades that actually make your life…
Bulls, Bootleggers, & the Biting List
This one’s all over the map—in the best way possible. We kick things off in Nashville, bouncing from dive bars to Kid Rock’s place, running into the Huffer Brothers, and watching a mechanical bull cl…
The Interview with Brandon Calhoon
We throw it back to a deep one-on-one with Brandon Calhoon — Michigan hoops legend turned rock star, songwriter, and the voice behind some of our most iconic outdoor tunes. From ripping AC/DC riffs a…
Flights, Last Meals & Burning the F*cking Map
Planning for Dropped is a battle before the boots hit the ground. Flights booked. Gear stashed. Last meals savored. Casey checks in live from Canada while Chris and JB break down the gritty logistics…
Busch Ice, Burning Wildfires & The Science of Holding Deer
Casey checks in live from the heart of Canada’s waterfowl capital, where wildfires burn and millions of ducks fill the prairie potholes. Casey’s at a family wedding near Manitou Beach’s salty float z…
Bear Infestation, Walleye Sushi & Near-Death Cigars: A Series of Misfortunes
It’s curveball season—but the good kind. Chris and Casey load up the kids, brother, and dad for a fishing trip up north, but the wild doesn’t make it easy. The cabin’s taken over by a bear like it’s …
Crossbows, Gatekeepers & The Future of the Wild
This one digs deep into the fault lines of the outdoor community. The crew goes full-send on the divide in hunting—crossbows vs. vertical bows, public vs. private land, and the growing tension betwee…
Mountain Mindsets, Meat Hauls & Masters of Mistakes
It’s chaos season—but the good kind. Gunner just hit double digits, JB’s losing golf bets, and the Keefer crew is gearing up for an off-grid fishing trip with the kids. The nostalgia’s thick, the gea…
Tarps Off, Velvet Bucks & Rick Hawkins Lumber
Graduation open houses turn into shirtless chaos, Darcy runs a covert chicken wing smuggling operation, and the boys recap a blitz of a trip to CMA Fest—racing Ross Chastain in a NASCAR sim, speakeas…
Wallet Carnage, 10 Second Tom, and the Final Strutter of 2025
It starts with Casey’s wallet getting shredded on the roadside and ends with Chris almost plowing four acres by hand like a badger—all because of a book. Somewhere in between, a stranger named Doug s…
Chasing Cheese, Burning Boats & You vs. You
Professional bass fisherman Dakota Ebare joins the crew and nothing’s off the table—cheese rolling injuries, boat-breaking musky, and losing $150K in a single tournament. From Louisiana roots to worl…
NASCAR, Permission Birds & the Bowfishing Baptism by Fire
Casey checks in from the grand opening of a new Bass Pro in Duluth and immediately starts itching for the North. Chris complains about turkey weather, JB’s running low on patience, and Casey ditches …
Jelly Heads, Walnut Walkers & the Tomahawk Judo Point Incident
Mike Passaglia joins the crew and brings the chaos with him. From busting gobblers in California walnut orchards to nearly dying on an Alaskan river with no GPS, no pilot, and a guide who treats Clas…
Bob the Blower, Beard Draggers & the Metallica Drive-By
Turkey camp went full throttle—mud-soaked crawls, beard-dragging longbeards, and neighbors firing up blowers mid-stalk. Becky gets her first bird. Casey gets denied permission so hard he needed a Bus…
Beard Rot, Plane Crashes & Enchiladas
Captain Jefe’s first time behind the mic is more like being thrown to the wolves: turkey beard rot, JB field-crapping like a golden retriever, full-on plane crashes, and enchiladas from a dude’s wife…
Gangrene, Gobblers & the King of Snickers
A throwback turkey hunt, TSS loads strong enough to deport a gobbler, and permission stories that sound like fever dreams—gangrene feet, dogs eating roofing nails, and three innings of Tigers basebal…
Buried Treasure, Blind Men & Swift's Lost Silver Mine
We’ve never told this story—and for good reason.
It started with a hunch and some half-legible journal entries from the 1700s. John Swift—silver miner, war vet, possible madman—claimed he buried loads…
