Welcome back to another episode of the Pursuit Podcast! This week, we have the pleasure of welcoming Rich Vance to the show. This conversation serves as a follow-up to our first episode, where we spoke with Rich's son and CEO, Todd Vance.

We'll hear Rich's perspective on the company's history, from its early days as a General Store in 1938 to its transition to selling firearms and outdoor equipment in the late 70s.  We also discuss the challenges faced during that time and the significant roles that Rich's wife and family has played in shaping Vance Outdoors into the business we are today.

Welcome back to another episode of the Pursuit Podcast! This week, we are joined by the Executive Director of our Law Enforcement Division - Mike Glass.

With us being between turkey and fishing seasons, we thought it was the perfect time to shine some light on one of our unique services  -  our Law Enforcement Division.

First, we dive into Mike's background and what led him to our team; then, we get into some of the services we provide Law Enforcement Departments nationwide and how it's more than just selling products to us. Finally, we get into some of the equipment we sell and the departments we work with.

We've been known for a long time for having some of the best selection of products for our customers - whether it's fishing, hunting, or shooting sports.

In today's episode, we are joined by Mark Wiley, a Wildlife Biologist for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. With turkey season starting in a little over a month, this is a perfect time to discuss the effects of the changes we saw last year.

First, we re-introduce Mark Wiley to those who may not have listened to our first conversation. Then we get into all of the changes since the last time we spoke and their effects on the population. Some of these changes were met with mixed opinions, so we have Mark explain how the regulation changes go through several checks and balances to ensure it's the appropriate decision.

Finally, we get into the Division's current wild turkey research project with Ohio State University and how this data will improve what we know about the population and allow the Division to make even more informed decisions moving forward.

Then, we get into some of their hunting trips, including a few trips to Arkansas and their hunt with the boys from 24.7hunt.

Welcome back to another episode of the Pursuit Podcast! This week we are by a great customer, former Ohio State Tight End, and Super Bowl Champion - Jake Ballard.

Similar to football, today's episode will be a tale of two halves.

First, we discuss growing up in a small town in Ohio, being recruited by several colleges, and ultimately choosing Ohio State. Then we get into Jake's time at Ohio State, what it was like playing in the league, and how, even though his career didn't go as planned, he could still walk away from the game as a Super Bowl champion.

Then we get into life outside of football and how, like many of us, he's found a passion for the outdoors. He shares a story about his first whitetail hunt and how after a couple of years, he's become a pretty proficient hunter who loves providing the meat for his family.

Welcome back to another episode of the Pursuit Podcast! This week Jordan is back from his COVID quarantine, and honestly, he couldn't have picked a better show to return for! We've officially hit our first HUGE milestone - our 50th episode! 

Before we get into this week's guest, we want to let our listeners know we are so thankful for everyone who's supported us this last year. It's been a fun experience so far, and we're looking forward to what the year holds!

With that said, we're pleased to introduce our guest this week, Jenn Danella. Jenn has built a very successful social media following based on her wild game cooking recipes - which has now become a sort of business for her. She also is the author of two wild game cooks - with her most recent being her first published book.

This was a super fun conversation, and we're looking forward to getting our hands on her cookbook to make some of these awesome recipes ourselves!

Welcome back to another episode of the Pursuit Podcast! This week we're going to take a step back from the whitetail woods and start daydreaming about bending rods on our favorite lakes! Joining us in the studio today from Knoxville, TN, is Major League Fishing Pro Angler - Brandon Coulter.

First, we introduce Brandon and discuss how his father used fishing to help them escape the big city. Then we get into how he always wanted to be a professional bass fisherman but didn't get his start in tournament fishing until he was in his late 30s. Then we dive into his experience with the tours and some of his favorite lakes across the country. Finally, we discuss some new rule changes and how fishing technology continues to evolve - simultaneously making the sport harder and easier.

In this week's episode, we are joined by three different guests we've had on in previous episodes - Andrew McClure, Billy Phillips, and Dan Wells.

We're right in the middle of the Whitetail Rut here in Ohio, and we all know how mentally and physically draining it can be. But, even with that said, the rut is the great equalizer when hunting whitetails, so we sat down with each of these guests and got their TOP 5 tips for pulling off an all-day rut sit.

In this week's episode, we are joined by Troy Hellman from Lacrosse Footwear.

First, we get into how he ended up in Oregon - eventually joining Lacrosse. Then we dive into the company's history and evolution over the last 125 years. Finally, we discuss the differences between their top-selling rubber boots and how customers can maximize each product by making smart footwear choices.
