Bucks, Brotherhood, & Deadwood

Keefer Brother"s Wilder Minds ·

2025/11/07

The crew heads back to Deadwood, one of the most anticipated stops of the season, to kick off deer camp in the rugged hills of Ohio. Early mornings, long setups, and classic camp traditions set the tone as the team settles into the rhythm of the hunt. Between gear talk, setup strategy, and plenty of laughs, it’s the kind of start that reminds everyone why this week in November always feels like Christmas.In this episode, the action unfolds fast. From rattling in multiple bucks at once to executing

Airmails, Blood Trails, & Buck Fever

Keefer Brother"s Wilder Minds ·

2025/10/31

Three bucks in fifteen minutes. One ghost in the autumn olive. A first archery kill on home dirt and a reminder that big bodies don’t come easy. We walk through the window we picked, the angle that sealed it, and the rattle cadence that actually pulls deer—quick crack, then silence. No concerts, no plastic bags—leaf noise, tree knocks, terrain advantage.This isn’t ego, it’s honesty. The father/filmmaker tension is real: be present for your kid, then make the story out of what you’ve got. We get into

Venison Sticks, Vapor Trails, & Giant Bucks

Keefer Brother"s Wilder Minds ·

2025/10/23

Venison sticks, garlic curds in a bush plane, a legit natural gas leak at HQ, and the pre-rut plan from Michigan to Ohio to Missouri. We swap best-ever hunts (Strong Arm, Jumbo, the 182 in Iowa), talk Rage setups, cold fronts, corn coming down, and why burning a set for intel still kills giants. Also: exploding deer scent cans (for real), goose fever, and the new Rut Report Channel in the KB app.Join the chase with the brotherhood at keeferbrothers.com and download the free KB App.

Floatplanes, Bear Raids, & Beaver-Dam Giants

Keefer Brother"s Wilder Minds ·

2025/10/16

Bush planes in, storms on the nose, and a bear-ransacked outpost to greet us—welcome to Manitoba. The kids take the mic for the Silsby recap: first northerns, first walleyes, and a beaver-dam giant that lit the drags. Broken boats, six-foot rollers, shore-lunch perfection, and a cabin visitor with flour on his paws.Ryder won’t put the rod down, Gunner invents the “Ooga Booga” cast, and Kylie gets Pike Fever—plus Pap’s last-cast hammer and why these fly-in trips make core memories for life.Silsby

Blind Solo Hunts, Climber Fails, & a Bigger Buck in...

Keefer Brother"s Wilder Minds ·

2025/10/10

Ryder kicks off deer season solo on the home place—one bolt in the quiver by dad’s orders. A 4-year-old eight strolls to 15 yards, the bolt flies, and the woods erupts. Then it twists: a bigger ten shows, then an even heavier buck. No second shot. Just a whisper-call with dad, a blood trail like paint, and a rite of passage sealed. “The ice has my heart, but the woods has my soul.” Yeah—felt that.From there we crack open our own first-buck files: a Pennsylvania stump sit, an orange safety whistle,

Frozen Nights, Heavy Miles, & Alaska’s Lessons

Keefer Brother"s Wilder Minds ·

2025/10/03

Back from the wild and straight into the studio — still thawing out and finding our legs after the coldest Dropped yet. Sleep came hard, miles came harder, and Alaska reminded us fast who’s in charge.This one runs on raw return energy: river miles that stripped weight and broke bodies, grizzlies that showed up uninvited, and gear that barely limped out alive. We talk what went right, what broke, and why pushing 100% every day matters more now than ever.Then it’s back to reality — family, work, and

The Interview with Mike Passaglia

Keefer Brother"s Wilder Minds ·

2025/09/26

Mike “Mikey P” Passaglia is one of the happiest, most grounded men you’ll meet — and one of the toughest. Chris sits down for a raw, long-form conversation with a man who’s built companies, lost them, rebuilt from nothing, and never lost his joy along the way.We dig into what it’s like to hit the bottom and start over, what resilience really means when the odds are ugly, and how a lifetime of chasing wild places shapes the way you lead and live. From guiding days to global hunts, to unknowingly

Keefer Brother"s Wilder Minds ·

2025/09/19

We’re rerunning a foundational episode while the crew is dropped in Alaska’s Brooks Range. This “From the Vault” throwback is the origin story of Wilder Minds—why we built it, who we are, and the mindset driving everything from DIY Alaska to Ohio whitetails.Inside: the viral “cannibalism” headline (and the real hunter’s rite-of-passage conversation about hearts, ethics, and respect), a Yukon night that devolved into street football in Dawson City, and a candid debate on AI trail cameras—patterning

The Interview with Tim Sylvia

Keefer Brother"s Wilder Minds ·

2025/09/12

Tim “The Maniac” Sylvia is a mountain of a man with a story to match. From UFC heavyweight champ to slap-fighting giant, he’s lived it all in the cage and carried that same fire into the woods. We talk about his journey... the fights, the injuries, the comeback. And the side of him most don’t see: a die-hard bowhunter with a Maine drawl and a sharp edge for the truth.The stories hit every lane. Getting literally slapped off his feet. Locker-room chaos at old trade shows. Bar dust-ups with guys who

Sheep Hunts, Belly Bombs, & the Brooks Range

Keefer Brother"s Wilder Minds ·

2025/09/05

Weapon talk for Dropped sets the stage, but it turns quick—locker-room mornings that went sideways, forgotten quivers at the stand, and hunts wrecked by fried-chicken belly bombs. Then it’s back to the mountains. Sheep hunts that broke knees, fog that stole chances, and Brooks Range climbs that pushed us to the edge. Ryder’s birthday caribou on the first Dropped and the sheep hunt years later hit the same way. Hunts so hard they pull emotion straight out of you.We close on gear. How it’s changed

Basecamp, Bucks, & the Brotherhood

Keefer Brother"s Wilder Minds ·

2025/08/29

The rush has been real. In 24 hours we ripped down to Ohio, fed out twelve tons of corn, dropped in new capsule feeders, tested 1900’s “Bonnie and Clyde” attractant, and watched the herd hammer it like never before. Antlers are blowing up, crops are thriving, and the whitetails are telling us the program is working.But the real story? We’re launching the Keefer Brothers Basecamp. After decades in the wild, years on TV, and months grinding behind the scenes, we finally built our own digital world. A

Meat Sweats, Gut Checks, & the Trail Cam Dinosaur

Keefer Brother"s Wilder Minds ·

2025/08/22

We lit the Jetboil and went to work. Freeze-dried meals built in a Pennsylvania garage—not factory slop, but legit recipes designed for the backcountry. Ground beef and tallow. Sweet potato and sausage skillet. Even cheesecake. Every bite hit harder than you’d expect from a bag, the kind of food that fuels you when you’re burning 6,000 calories packing moose meat through miles of brush.We talk about hunts where we went days without food, what it feels like when your body crashes, and why treating

Steel, Smoke, & the 2500 HD Controlled Burn

Keefer Brother"s Wilder Minds ·

2025/08/15

We sit down with Greg Walters from Winchester Safes and talk shop—how his family built a business tough enough to carry the Winchester name, and the kind of gear upgrades that actually make your life easier in the field. Then Chris unloads the story of the Kansas “controlled burn” that turned his 2500 HD into a rolling fireball. Picture propane tanks blowing, ammo ripping like a fireworks finale, and every bit of gear he owned melting into the dirt. It’s chaos, it’s hilarious now, and it’s proof

Bulls, Bootleggers, & the Biting List

Keefer Brother"s Wilder Minds ·

2025/08/08

This one’s all over the map—in the best way possible. We kick things off in Nashville, bouncing from dive bars to Kid Rock’s place, running into the Huffer Brothers, and watching a mechanical bull claim a fingernail or two. From there, it’s Prohibition history with Dutch Schultz, bootlegger tunnels, and a gun that somehow made it from a Maine bar to a New York City restaurant table. We break down roadkill salvage rules, swap Bigfoot crew stories, and detour into the wild world of reality TV

We throw it back to a deep one-on-one with Brandon Calhoon — Michigan hoops legend turned rock star, songwriter, and the voice behind some of our most iconic outdoor tunes. From ripping AC/DC riffs at a high school pep rally to the wild ride of reality TV, Nashville grind, and life on the road, Brandon shares the raw stories behind the music and the moments that shaped him. This isn’t just an interview — it’s a journey through grit, growth, and the soundtrack of a life lived full throttle. Pour a

Planning 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

Casey 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

It’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

Crossbows, Gatekeepers & The Future of the Wild

Keefer Brother"s Wilder Minds ·

2025/06/27

This 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

It’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
