Ep. 16: Spike Camp - Whitetail Season Updates and Training With Purpose
About this episode
In this episode of In Pursuit, Rich Froning sits down with Scott and Byrd to catch up on the past few weeks of hunting, training, and time in the Tennessee woods. They share the moments that stood out most. Bird guiding his family into some great deer. Rich taking his kids out for their own first experiences. The small, quiet parts of a hunt that remind you why the outdoors matters.
They also look back at their conversation with former NFL lineman and jiu-jitsu competitor John Welbourn and talk through what they learned about training with purpose, understanding backcountry demands, and why having a clear goal changes the way you prepare.
From big woods to backyard ridge lines, this episode is a reminder that the pursuit is not about perfect timing or perfect conditions. It is about showing up, preparing well, and making memories with the people who matter most.
