Tracks & Tackle: Nature is our Playground
Welcome to the Tracks & Tackle Podcast! 🎙️
We’re a community of passionate outdoorsmen who love sharing stories, strategies, and the traditions that make hunting, fishing, and exploring the wild so special. Hosted by the guys at Mentzer Outdoors, we bring you conversations that celebrate the great outdoors—from whitetail deer and duck hunting to chasing turkey and fishing alike.
We’re more than a podcast; we’re your hunting camp away from camp—a place where camaraderie, storytelling, and the thrill of the chase come together. We collaborate with several outdoors clubs with a shared mission to inspire everyone to Get Outdoors and keep the traditions alive.
At Tracks & Tackle, we believe Nature is our Playground, and we’re here to explore it with you. Whether you’re a seasoned hunter or just starting your outdoor journey, you’ll find a home here.
Tune in, connect with us, and join the Hunting Family! 🦌🎣🌲
