Before he ever pulled a trigger, Dustin Daniels was wrapped in a sleeping bag with his grandpa, watching the woods wake up. These days, he’s building his own muzzleloaders, hunting with a .54 caliber cap and ball, and passing the same tradition to his son one misfired round and muddy drag at a time.

Dustin’s from Madison Heights, Virginia, and co-hosts the D&D Outdoors Podcast where he talks outdoor news and shares hunting stories with his buddy Dell. In this episode, he talks about getting knocked on his tail at four years old by a 410, why he gave up the crossbow and compound for a recurve, and how he dropped a buck with a muzzleloader that had been sitting loaded for eight years.

He doesn’t chase big antlers or big names. He hunts for the stories. The quiet. The connection.
