Keefer Brother's Wilder MindsFlights, Last Meals & Burning the F*cking MapPlanning for Dropped is a battle before the boots hit the ground. Flights booked. Gear stashed. Last meals savored. Casey checks in live from Canada while Chris and JB break down the gritty logistics and mental grind it takes to get ready for the wild unknown. We’re talking strategy born from 20 years in the dirt, a deep dive into the new DIY Alaska Hunt Academy that's rolling out with the app, and why the real drop starts long before the plane leaves the tarmac. This isn’t just prep — it’s survival sharpened by experience.2025-07-251h 01Keefer Brother's Wilder MindsBusch Ice, Burning Wildfires & The Science of Holding DeerCasey checks in live from the heart of Canada’s waterfowl capital, where wildfires burn and millions of ducks fill the prairie potholes. Casey’s at a family wedding near Manitou Beach’s salty float zone while Chris breaks down what it means to hold deer through fall with smart feed and habitat management. Plus, a deep dive on how supplemental feed affects deer digestion and population—this is survival strategy turned science. Then, we look ahead to the upcoming Dropped season prep, including a partnership that’s taking our body-testing to a whole new level with nutrition science and real b...2025-07-1842 minKeefer Brother's Wilder MindsBear Infestation, Walleye Sushi & Near-Death Cigars: A Series of MisfortunesIt’s curveball season—but the good kind. Chris and Casey load up the kids, brother, and dad for a fishing trip up north, but the wild doesn’t make it easy. The cabin’s taken over by a bear like it’s a 5-star resort, boats keep breaking down or getting lost, and storms hit the water harder than a freight train. The kids are seeing it all for the first time—wild moments, real lessons, and a whole lot of unexpected challenges.The gear’s been stress-tested by 10-year-olds in the garage, the storm’s been weathered...2025-07-1158 minKeefer Brother's Wilder MindsCrossbows, Gatekeepers & The Future of the WildThis one digs deep into the fault lines of the outdoor community. The crew goes full-send on the divide in hunting—crossbows vs. vertical bows, public vs. private land, and the growing tension between tradition and access. They call out gatekeeping, ego, and the way jealousy and ego poison progress in the outdoors. Then it’s onto Alaska, ANWR, and a debate that could reshape everything: should untouched lands be opened up for more people to experience, or should they stay wild and inaccessible to preserve what makes them special?Plus: crossbow prescriptions, 90-year-old legends, the KB ecos...2025-06-2753 minKeefer Brother's Wilder MindsMountain Mindsets, Meat Hauls & Masters of MistakesIt’s chaos season—but the good kind. Gunner just hit double digits, JB’s losing golf bets, and the Keefer crew is gearing up for an off-grid fishing trip with the kids. The nostalgia’s thick, the gear’s already been stress-tested by 10-year-olds in the garage, and the planning for Dropped is officially in full swing.Casey breaks down the upcoming DIY Alaska Masterclass—why it’s needed, how it’s built from scars not scripts, and why it’s about time more people realize Alaska isn’t just for the rich. They get into public land battles...2025-06-2052 minKeefer Brother's Wilder MindsTarps Off, Velvet Bucks & Rick Hawkins LumberGraduation open houses turn into shirtless chaos, Darcy runs a covert chicken wing smuggling operation, and the boys recap a blitz of a trip to CMA Fest—racing Ross Chastain in a NASCAR sim, speakeasy cocktails at Snoop & Dre’s bar, and a surprise run-in with Holy Roller singer Sierra Ferrell.Also: a stranger in a thrifted “Rick Hawkins Lumber” hat turns out to be a Canadian country artist, the bucks are blowing up in velvet, and the 1900 Feed program has the crew driving south just to keep the troughs full. You want stories? This one’s got ‘em.2025-06-131h 08Keefer Brother's Wilder MindsWallet Carnage, 10 Second Tom, and the Final Strutter of 2025It starts with Casey’s wallet getting shredded on the roadside and ends with Chris almost plowing four acres by hand like a badger—all because of a book. Somewhere in between, a stranger named Doug shows up in Chris’ driveway, wanders into his garage, and delivers a drumset, a joint, a bottle of Listerine and a look of betrayal when Chris hands his goods to the cops. The guys break down sketchy backyard encounters, pre-CMA Fest prep, a solid veteran bird to close out turkey season, and the beauty of dead-straight food plot lines. Plus: M...2025-06-061h 08Keefer Brother's Wilder MindsChasing Cheese, Burning Boats & You vs. YouProfessional bass fisherman Dakota Ebare joins the crew and nothing’s off the table—cheese rolling injuries, boat-breaking musky, and losing $150K in a single tournament. From Louisiana roots to world-stage fishing, Dakota talks about grinding through the early days, balancing passion with pressure, and why the real competition is always you vs. you. They get into fishing etiquette, race-start chaos, fish-stuffing scandals, public land deer meltdowns, and why hunters need to chill the hell out. Plus: couch surfing, the white whales of fishing, and what it takes to stay dialed in when everything’s going sid...2025-05-301h 10Keefer Brother's Wilder MindsNASCAR, Permission Birds & the Bowfishing Baptism by FireCasey checks in from the grand opening of a new Bass Pro in Duluth and immediately starts itching for the North. Chris complains about turkey weather, JB’s running low on patience, and Casey ditches school with Ryder to double up on a brand-new permission property. Then it’s off the rails: a full-on crash course in the wild world of bowfishing—from pyramid tank shoot-offs in front of massive crowds to Casey driving a NASCAR car through Memphis and deciding he suddenly needs a boat. Throw in technical difficulties, childhood videos sacrificed for storage, and a m...2025-05-231h 05Keefer Brother's Wilder MindsJelly Heads, Walnut Walkers & the Tomahawk Judo Point IncidentMike Passaglia joins the crew and brings the chaos with him. From busting gobblers in California walnut orchards to nearly dying on an Alaskan river with no GPS, no pilot, and a guide who treats Class IV rapids like a casual float trip—this one covers it all.Chris and Mike drop a bird. JB fumbles a double. Four new hunters tag out. And somewhere in between, Mike builds a body pillow of himself for his wife, thinks a mailbox is a tom, and casually recounts the time a Tomahawk missile he worked on punched a breezeway-sized ho...2025-05-161h 21Keefer Brother's Wilder MindsBob the Blower, Beard Draggers & the Metallica Drive-ByTurkey camp went full throttle—mud-soaked crawls, beard-dragging longbeards, and neighbors firing up blowers mid-stalk. Becky gets her first bird. Casey gets denied permission so hard he needed a Busch Light. And Will Brantley rolls in fresh off a Metallica concert and tags out in 25 minutes. This one has it all—strutters, safes, and the legend of Neil Young’s food plot, now known forever as Harvest Moon.2025-05-091h 00Keefer Brother's Wilder MindsBeard Rot, Plane Crashes & EnchiladasCaptain Jefe’s first time behind the mic is more like being thrown to the wolves: turkey beard rot, JB field-crapping like a golden retriever, full-on plane crashes, and enchiladas from a dude’s wife mid-rescue. Petie the decoy goes through some shit, Casey nearly meets his maker in a dive-bomb landing in the Alaskan Bush, and mustache-trimming advice gets uncomfortably specific. We’re gearing up for Winchester Turkey Camp and praying to the dino bird gods for a little mercy.2025-05-021h 11Keefer Brother's Wilder MindsGangrene, Gobblers & the King of SnickersA throwback turkey hunt, TSS loads strong enough to deport a gobbler, and permission stories that sound like fever dreams—gangrene feet, dogs eating roofing nails, and three innings of Tigers baseball with an old dude in his undies.The 989 Gobbler Club is handing out its finest (and most shameful) awards, including a wooden gun you really don’t want. Throw in dire wolves, woolly mammoths, and a turkey call named “King of Snickers,” and yeah… we’ve officially lost the plot.2025-04-2559 minKeefer Brother's Wilder MindsBuried Treasure, Blind Men & Swift's Lost Silver MineWe’ve never told this story—and for good reason.It started with a hunch and some half-legible journal entries from the 1700s. John Swift—silver miner, war vet, possible madman—claimed he buried loads of silver deep in the Kentucky hills. Most chalked it up to backwoods legend. We didn’t. We followed the clues, found the creek, the rock, the carvings. Sent Casey into a cave that looked like it hadn’t seen daylight in 200 years.And we found it. The treasure. The silver. It was real.Then the producers made us leave. Ca...2025-04-181h 03Keefer Brother's Wilder MindsBeaver Fever, Bullshit Buck, and Dominican FirewallsSplit across the map for spring break, Chris, Casey, and JB reunite with wild stories and even wilder takes. From thundersnow in Midland to Chris losing a phone, a mask, and possibly his sanity in Mexico. They pour one out for Val Kilmer, crown Doc Holliday the undisputed GOAT, and entertain the theory that Jim Morrison might still be breathing. Add in whitetail conspiracy records, shady hunting motivations, and a breakdown of Masters picks and bets no one asked for—and yeah, April Fools is undoubtedly stupid. Cyberboats, travel bugs, and the Dominican's version of a Beaver Fe...2025-04-1146 minKeefer Brother's Wilder MindsCloset Darts, Zombie Deer & a Housecat That Sent a Legend to the ERBusch Light, March Madness brackets, and defending the driveway like it’s a war zone. JB throws out wild probabilities, a zombie deer and a lady with dementia make an appearance, and somehow, a housecat sends a legendary big game hunter to the hospital. Oh, and if you were born in the ‘90s, you definitely listened to Dave Matthews, ripped darts, and wore Birks—Chris said it, not us.But the biggest news? Casey, Chris and the crew are officially locked in for Dropped this year, and it’s about to get rowdy. Buckle up and "LET'S DANCE".2025-04-041h 09Keefer Brother's Wilder MindsMan on a Buffalo, JFK, and the Hunt for LongshanksChris kicks things off by roasting JB for thinking NBA players are the ultimate athletes before declaring hockey players can do literally anything. He also fires off wildly inappropriate JFK assassination quotes mid-hunt.Casey drops some hard truths about hunters making everything harder than it needs to be, a 2x UFC Champion's refusal to do cardio prior to title fights, and how they once stood in front of the entire hunting industry and flipped a coin on their careers.

In this first episode, we pull back the curtains on the podcast itself - what it's all about, who it's for and what you can expect. Casey Keefer talks AI and hunting, Chris Keefer talks mentoring newcomers in the hunting industry and JB on why he woke up covered in blood in Dawson City, Yukon.
