Show Notes
Deer season is almost here, and the Isbell brothers are back with opening-day deer hunting advice, grizzly bear debates, country music hot takes, and a few stories they probably should’ve kept to themselves. 😂
On this episode of God’s Country, Dan and Reid break down the biggest mistakes hunters make on opening day, when to hunt a nocturnal buck, why the first cold front matters, and what to do when your target buck disappears from your trail cameras.
But this wouldn’t be a Brothers Hunt episode without things going completely off the rails. Dan tells the horrifying story of a maggot flying straight into his Croc, Reid explains how a golf ball nearly took his head off, and the brothers debate which hunting buddy they’d trust to save them from a charging grizzly bear. There’s also a dead-mouse pep talk and a wild cottonmouth story.
Then it’s time for Country Music Court: Is Carrie Underwood’s revamped Sunday Night Football intro guilty or not guilty? The brothers weigh in on Ella Langley, hunting, and why country artists should be able to be exactly who they sing about.
In this episode:
Opening-day deer hunting mistakes and early-season strategy
Hunting nocturnal bucks, cold fronts, and disappearing target deer
A grizzly bear encounter and the ultimate hunting-buddy debate
The maggot-in-a-Croc disaster and Reid’s near miss on the golf course
Carrie Underwood, Ella Langley, and Country Music Court
