In this relaxed episode of the Taking Aim podcast, host Richard Nance sits down with western Kentucky outdoors writer and lifelong hunter Will Brantley. The conversation covers Will’s family-centered hunting lifestyle (he, his wife Michelle, and their 11-year-old son live and breathe the outdoors), his career path from devouring 90s hunting magazines to becoming a full-time freelancer for Field & Stream, Petersen’s Hunting, Realtree, and Ducks Unlimited, his Level-2 Deer Steward certification with the National Deer Association, and the tongue-in-cheek “Total Redneck Manual” he co-authored. Richard shares two recent hunts with Will—a wildly fun squirrel hunt that turned him into a believer and a Winchester-sponsored Kentucky rifle deer hunt where he killed a solid rutting buck on the last afternoon with a Model 70 in 6.8 Western—while the pair wrap up praising red dots for thick-timber and turkey hunting. It’s an hour of authentic, zero-BS hunting culture that feels like eavesdropping on two buddies who genuinely live life.
