S2 Ep 11: New Studio, Pheasant Hunts, and Walking in the Light

Bruce and Daniel are finally in the new studio, and Episode 11 marks the first time recording in the new space. They kick things off by recapping a recent pheasant hunt, sharing how it went and a few moments that stood out. Then they talk through the Midwest Sportsman Classic, along with some updates on fishing and Michigan legislation, breaking down what hunters and outdoorsmen should be paying attention to right now. To close, they turn to 1 John 1:5–10, unpacking what it looks like to walk in the light. They discuss how we often handle sin the wrong way—hiding it, minimizing it, or ignoring it—and contrast that with the call to confession, honesty, and living in the freedom Christ provides.

S2 Ep10: Catching up, 2026 Goals, and a cat named Felix

After being apart for a while, Bruce and Daniel finally sit back down together and catch up on everything that’s been going on. From life updates to where the outdoors has taken them. They spend some time talking through goals for 2026, both in the outdoors and in life. Talking about what it looks like to think ahead with intention instead of just drifting into the next season. As always, they close by opening God’s Word, landing in Acts 26 and talking about a lesser-known but important figure—Felix—and what his response to the gospel reveals about delay, conviction, and decision. A laid-back catch-up episode with forward-looking vision and Scripture to wrap it up.

This week they look at Mark 9:30–50, focusing on Jesus’ strong words about cutting off your hand, foot, or eye. What did He really mean? Why use such intense imagery? And how should we understand these verses today as followers of Christ? A mix of stories from the field and a deep dive into one of Jesus’ toughest teachings—this one will make you think.

They also cover some of the big hunting news that’s been making headlines, offering their thoughts on what’s happening in the outdoor world and how it impacts everyday hunters. And as always, they close by opening God’s Word—this time reflecting on Acts 16, where Paul and Silas display the gospel in powerful ways, even while suffering. Their example challenges us to consider how we live and witness no matter the circumstances. Stories, news, and Scripture—this one has a little bit of everything.

S2 Ep4: Early Goose Season, Arsenal Saddles, and the simplicity of the Gospel with Will Boyer

With Bruce still out recovering, Daniel is joined by Will Boyer from Forest and Sky. Will shares about his early good season, celebrating some exciting hunts and the joy of being in the outdoors. He also talks about his new favorite saddle for bowhunting, why it works so well, and how it’s made his setup more effective.

On this episode of The Young Buck – Old Buck Podcast, Bruce and Daniel cover a wide spread of topics from the woods to real life. They kick things off with a frustrating reality for hunters everywhere—trail cams that eat through batteries faster than you can swap them out. Then, they break down some of the new fall turkey hunting regulations and what those changes could mean for your time in the field this season. Finally, the conversation turns to something a lot heavier: cancer. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s a reminder that life isn’t always about the hunt. Through it all, Bruce and Daniel reflect on how faith sustains us even when the challenges feel overwhelming.
