Ever wonder what happens when a Bellator heavyweight champion swaps the gloves for a bow? On our latest Hunting Stories podcast, we do just that, inviting Cory "Overtime" Anderson to share his first forays into the hunting world, as well as the laughs and lessons he's picked up along the way. From his initial rabbit hunts to a tree stand escapade that'll have you in stitches, Cory's tales are as impactful as his punches in the ring.
But this episode isn't just about the thrill of the catch; it's a celebration of the mishaps and memories that hunting inevitably serves up. Join me as he recounts his own introduction to deer hunting, complete with adrenaline-charged successes and the kind of slip-ups that have become family legend. You'll hear about the connections that form in those quiet moments waiting for wildlife, the shared experiences that define our outdoor adventures, and the belly laughs that echo through the woods.

Our guest Spencer Rempel doesn't need to imagine; he's lived it, and he brings his incredible stories to our latest podcast episode. From the history-soaked northern Canadian wilderness to the adrenaline rush of hunting cougars with dogs, Spencer's narratives are as varied as they are enthralling. He paints a vivid picture of a life where nature dictates the rhythm, and where silver mining and paddle wheelers are part of the everyday lexicon.
