In the Ozarks, people have always lived in rhythm with the natural world. Hunting, fishing, and living off the land, aren't just things we do, it's who we are. And though our lives are inextricably linked to the land we live on, we've never been more disconnected from it. So join us, as we travel across the region to bring you the voices of the Ozarks to deepen your connection with the land, sharpen your skills in the outdoors, and help you learn what it means to be an Ozarker.
Our guests and the information they share are especially relevant to men and women in northern Arkansas, southern Missouri, eastern Oklahoma, and southeast Kansas.

Technology keeps advancing at rapid rates: should 'fair chase' and hunting ethicality evolve with it?
In this episode, we're back with Derrick Dixon of Whitetail Research, whose viral YouTube videos and data-driven insights are changing everything we thought we knew about mature buck behavior.
We get into thermal drones, cell cameras, trail cameras, and how Derrick uses (or rather doesn't use) his collected data to achieve an unwanted advantage over deer in the ozarks.
