Will Brantley Reveals Why Red Dots Are Secretly Taking Over Deer & Turkey Hunting

In this relaxed episode of the Taking Aim podcast, host Richard Nance sits down with western Kentucky outdoors writer and lifelong hunter Will Brantley. The conversation covers Will’s family-centered hunting lifestyle (he, his wife Michelle, and their 11-year-old son live and breathe the outdoors), his career path from devouring 90s hunting magazines to becoming a full-time freelancer for Field & Stream, Petersen’s Hunting, Realtree, and Ducks Unlimited, his Level-2 Deer Steward certification with the National Deer Association, and the tongue-in-cheek “Total Redneck Manual” he co-authored. Richard shares two recent hunts with Will—a wildly fun squirrel hunt that turned him into a believer and a Winchester-sponsored Kentucky rifle deer hunt where he killed a solid rutting buck on the last afternoon with a Model 70 in 6.8 Western—while the pair wrap up praising red dots for thick-timber and turkey hunting. It’s an hour of authentic, zero-BS hunting culture that feels like eavesdropping on two buddies who genuinely live life.For more on Will and articles he’s written visit: https://www.ducks.org/contents/authors/will-brantley.htmlFollow Rich Nance on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nance_training_consulting/ and https://www.instagram.com/rnancewartac/Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@AimpointUSAVisit Aimpoint.com to learn more: https://www.aimpoint.com/ PRODUCED BY IRONCLAD
