The season starts long before opening day.
In this episode of the Home of the Average Joe Podcast, we’re breaking down the summer scouting and preparation that can make all the difference when that first mature buck steps into range.
We cover where to place mineral sites in relation to bedding areas and water, why hunting directly over minerals isn’t the play, and how mock scrapes paired with Hunting RX VuDu can keep bucks coming back and reveal who’s really living in your area.
We also dive into stand and blind placement, the best time to trim shooting lanes without blowing out your spot, access routes that help keep pressure low, and why practicing realistic shots—including elevated angles and tight shooting windows—is critical before the season ever arrives.
Plus, we talk trail camera strategies, gear preparation, and the small details that separate successful hunters from everyone else when opening day finally gets here.
If you’re serious about punching your tag this fall, this episode is packed with practical tips every Average Joe hunter can put to work today.

This episode is pure chaos in the best way for the Average Joe/Blue Collar Hunter.
 
The crew breaks down a stacked live show packed with real-world testing, field feedback, and no-BS talk on what’s actually hitting the woods this season. From the launch of the Average Joe Signature Series arrows with Flying Arrow Archery—(multiple shaft and fletch options) plus a hard-hitting 25% off code when you use HRX25—to the first deep dive into the all-new VuDu attractant, built in both synthetic and CWD-free formulas, nothing is off the table.
 
They also cover the grind behind Build Tha Bone Mineral, early staff testing reactions, and why this system is already turning heads in the off-season. Add in the growing buzz around Cedeer Camo, pricing philosophy built for real hunters, and a focus on keeping quality high without pricing out the everyday guy—and this episode hits different.
 
It’s not just product talk. It’s momentum, grit, and a community-driven push to build gear that actually works when it matters most.
 
The team closes it out with gratitude for the support, excitement for what’s next, and a clear message: this is just the beginning of a full season of testing, content, and real-world hunting innovation built for the average Joe.

The 15-Yard Heartbreak, Weather Grit & The Great Turkey vs. Deer Debate 🎙️🦃
 
Ohio Turkey Season Week 2 is officially in the books, and if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that the woods don’t give away favors for free. In this episode of the Home Of The Average Joe Podcast, hosts Ryan Garrett and John Baldwin take you inside a rollercoaster week of hunting that defines why we keep heading back to the field.
 
The centerpiece of today’s show is a heart-pounding, 90-minute standoff with a gobbler that had the guys on the edge of their seats. Ryan and John recount every high-stakes second as this bird responded for over an hour and a half, eventually closing the distance to a mere 15 yards—only to stay just out of reach of a clean shot. It’s a masterclass in patience, calling strategies, and the eventual "heartbreak" that every turkey hunter knows all too well.
 
But the 15-yard standoff wasn't the only challenge the woods threw at them. The guys break down the grit required to hunt through a chaotic Ohio spring, navigating everything from heavy frost and biting winds to a bizarre, morning-disrupting encounter with a distressed rabbit.
 
Inside this episode, we also dive into:
Tactical Shifts: How to adjust your calling and scouting when the weather turns, including the specific strategies Ryan and John use for hunting in the rain.
The Great Debate: We’re finally tackling the eternal question—Turkey vs. Deer. Which pursuit offers the ultimate challenge, and which one truly owns the soul of a hunter?
Community & Competition: Get the latest updates on our community contests and the stories from the field that are fueling the HRX crew this season.
Whether you're looking for technical calling tips or just want to hear a good story about the one that got away, this episode captures the camaraderie and persistence of the Hunting RX family.

This episode hits at the heart of what it’s all about — passing it on to the next generation. 🦌🎣
The Hunting RX crew dives into why getting kids involved in hunting, fishing, and the outdoors matters now more than ever. It’s not just about pulling the trigger or making a catch — it’s about building discipline, teaching responsibility, and instilling real-world values that stick for life.
They break down the balance between keeping it fun while still introducing structure — showing kids how to respect the land, understand ethics, and develop practical skills that go far beyond the woods or water. From early mornings to hard work behind the scenes, this episode highlights how those moments shape confidence and character.
The crew also gives a preview of an upcoming youth-focused giveaway at their next outdoor show, aimed at getting more kids geared up and excited to be outside.
To wrap it up, they share real, practical advice for parents — especially around getting kids started with bows. From choosing the right setup to building comfort and confidence, it’s all about making sure a kid’s first experiences are positive, safe, and something they want to keep coming back to.
It’s more than a conversation — it’s a reminder that the future of the outdoors starts with what we teach today.
