Episode 10 of the Equalized Outdoors Podcast is a catch-up from the field with MrJayCam: public-land hunting, gear that’s earning its keep, and a few things that need to be said about how we treat each other.

In The Brief, we cover the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission’s response to the Fords Lake fish salvage controversy, Texas public-access developments, and upcoming drawn-hunt application deadlines.

In The Situation Report, I share how my Texas public-land season is going while Virginia plans remain on hold. From heavy winds and ground hunting to scouting fresh sign and camping with my daughter, there’s been plenty to appreciate even without a deer on the ground. We also catch up on Equalized Outdoors apparel, the Hunter Spotlight Series, and plans for the North Texas Longbeards flock of Turkeys for Tomorrow.

Then it’s Gear Talk: Vortex customer service comes through, and I explain how I became a “Sitka bro,” with thoughts on clothing, footwear, and fit after putting the gear to work in changing Texas temperatures.

In Off the Streets, we address online disrespect, gatekeeping, and talking down to people for asking questions. Hunters should have room to learn, and seeing someone who looks or hunts differently isn’t a reason to treat them like they don’t belong.

The Soundtrack closes things out with “Time Today” by Moneybagg Yo.
