Hanging out at the Dixie Deer Classic in Raleigh, NC. Our guests today are from the Wake County Wildlife Club who runs the DDC, but more importantly they are hunters. Mike Clancy and Jay Adcock. Mike is a die-hard whitetailer, and Jay “Turkey Leg” Adcock has the Disease, the turkey hunting disease. As a matter of fact during this podcast Mike and I think we might have to hit Jay with the AED, his eyes roll into the back of his head and he speaks in tongues when the subject of Meleagris gallopavo, comes up. This was a fun one, two great dudes. God Bless America!!

Michael Baccellieri (say that 3 times fast) from Leupold’s Optics Academy at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. We discussed his time in the Army and Marine Corps and the evolution of the Optics Academy. Michael also talks me through optical specs when looking for a new scope and dispels some of the rumors out there that are truly just marketing hype. Listen and learn, I know I sure did. What is exit pupil, how do we check for glare, when is the best time to buy a scope, and does the objective size actually have anything to do with light gathering and transmission? This intro is a little different than normal. Hope the singing isn’t too much. Michael, Buck, Tactical Hipster, this dude is a good friend and awesome. God Bless America!!

SGM retired Alex Racey. Special Operations Soldier, Crossfitter, man of many hats and one of my dearest friends. Alex is new to the civilian world and has some great advice to those who are getting out or retiring from the military. Hey sometimes you have to get a J-O-B. Had a great time seeing Alex and his tribe again, his son Luke became my new little buddy and we laughed more than allowed. God Bless America!
