Tracks & Tackle: Nature is our Playground
Welcome to the Tracks & Tackle Podcast! 🎙️
Hosted by Ron Mentzer and Kris Buchman, the Tracks & Tackle Podcast brings you conversations from the guys at Mentzer Outdoors and 3B Outdoor Club. We’re a community of passionate outdoorsmen who love sharing stories, strategies, and the traditions that make hunting, fishing, and exploring the wild so special.
From whitetail deer and duck hunting to chasing turkey and fishing alike, we celebrate the great outdoors and everything that comes with it. We’re more than a podcast — we’re your hunting camp away from camp. A place where camaraderie, storytelling, and the thrill of the chase come together.
Together, Ron Mentzer and Kris Buchman founded the Tracks & Tackle Collaborative, a community of passionate outdoorsmen who share the mission to inspire everyone to Get Outdoors and keep the traditions alive. As part of Mentzer Outdoors and 3B Outdoor Club, we continue that same spirit.
At Tracks & Tackle, we believe Nature is our Playground, and we’re here to explore it with you. Whether you’re a seasoned hunter or just starting your outdoor journey, you’ll find a home here.
Tune in, connect with us, and join the Hunting Family! 🦌🎣🌲

Tracks & Tackle: Nature is our Playground
EP 85: Land, Legacy & Loyalty — The Hunter’s Dilemma
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week on Tracks & Tackle, we’re diving deep into a conversation every hunter has had around the campfire — the battle between public and private land access.
Is private land the future of hunting, or is our heritage being fenced off one lease at a time? What does it mean to pass on this tradition to the next generation when access becomes harder to find?
Ron Mentzer (Mentzer Outdoors) is joined by guest co-host Lee Bolner of 3B Outdoors to explore the balance between land use, hunting culture, and outdoor legacy.
In our second segment, we take on the ultimate hunter’s challenge:
👉 If you could only hunt one species for the rest of your life… what would it be?
This episode brings storytelling, strong opinions, and real talk from the heart of the outdoors.
🦌 Comment below with your thoughts — what land do you hunt, and what species could you never give up?
