Ep. 33 Hunting, Marriage & The DIY Grind With Cade Trickey

On this episode of The Hunting Dad Podcast, I sit down with DIY hunter and YouTube creator Cade Trickey. Cade shares his journey from working in the outdoor industry to building his own hunting channel, the lessons he's learned chasing animals across multiple states, and why he focuses on showing the real side of hunting. We dive into summer preparation, scouting philosophies, public land pressure, Arkansas hunting, deer hunting in the hills vs. bottoms, and Cade's upcoming journey into bear hunting. We also have a real conversation about something every hunting dad has to navigate — balancing time in the woods with being a husband and father. Cade explains how his wife supports his hunting lifestyle, why being present at home matters, and how a strong relationship makes chasing these adventures possible. This episode covers.....
