Everything I Know About Hunting Came From My Dad | Miller Tines, Ep. 2

Today’s episode is a special one. I’m sitting down with the man who first put a rifle in my hands, taught me patience in the field, discipline at the reloading bench, and—most importantly—what it truly means to respect the animal, the hunt, and the process. My dad, Steve Miller, is the reason I fell in love with hunting in the first place. We talk about where it all began for him, the hunts that shaped who he is, the lessons learned the hard way, and the one hunt that still stands above the rest after all these years. This episode is about time spent in the outdoors, traditions passed down, and the kind of knowledge that can only come from a lifetime of experience. And there’s no one I’d rather share that story with than my dad. Learn more about GOHUNT. Follow Brady on Instagram.

Why Mule Deer Hunting Mostly Sucks & How To Have The Right Mindset | Miller Tines, Ep. 1

Mule deer hunting isn’t supposed to be easy—and most of the time, it isn’t even fun. In this first episode of the Miller Tines podcast, Brady Miller breaks down the mindset and mental toughness it takes to hunt mule deer (or really any animal for that matter). From endless hours behind the glass to failed stalks, empty basins, and physical exhaustion, mule deer hunting has a way of testing patience, discipline, and mental toughness more than any other western hunt. This episode isn’t about tactics or shortcuts. It’s an honest conversation about learning to enjoy the process, embracing boredom, staying disciplined when the hunt gives you nothing back, and why mental toughness matters more than gear, tags, or talent.

Spring Bears, Big Bucks & the Mountain Mindset With Travis Nowotny | Miller Tines, Ep. 10

Travis Nowotny is one of the most lethal mountain hunters I know. In this episode, we sat down to talk bears, and it turned into one of those conversations I just didn’t want to end. Travis breaks down his entire approach to spring black bear hunting — from reading the green-up to picking the right terrain, hunting pressure-free country, and how early-season warmth like we’re seeing this year completely changes where bears will be. We dig into bow vs. rifle tactics, why backpacking into bear country makes sense, and the one terrain feature he always keys on. We also get into e-scouting strategies for out-of-state tags, building hunting circles with guys who actually want to help each other, and why your hunting approach has to evolve as life gets busier. Travis opens up about balancing running Goat Knives, electrical work, family, and still finding a way to put himself on animals year after year — and honestly, the perspective he brings on why we hunt is something I greatly respect.
