It ain’t every day a food plot guy from Southeast Missouri gets the mic, but Callie Grubbs has a story worth hearing. Born and raised in rural Missouri, Callie started like most. Plinking cans, tagging along with his dad, and chasing deer with a beat up old Martin bow and mismatched arrows. Today, he’s neck deep in habitat work, running operations for a food plot company and helping hunters across the country build healthier soil and better herds.

In this episode, Callie talks about growing up in rural Missouri, building a passion for hunting without a mentor, and how a slow shift from killing to caring shaped his outlook. He opens up about the moment he got hooked on bowhunting, the mindset change that came from raising kids in the woods, and the quiet rewards of watching his daughters and son step into the hunting life.

The conversation dives into hot button issues like crossbows, trail cams, hunting politics, and the state of modern conservation. From the rise of celebrity hunters to the decline of common ground, Callie doesn’t hold back. Neither does the host. Raw, real, and refreshingly grounded, this one’s for the everyday folks who keep showing up season after season.

If you’ve ever filled a tag, missed a buck, or tried to raise a kid right in the woods, you’ll feel right at home in this one.
