Tracks & Tackle: Nature is our Playground

Welcome to the Tracks & Tackle Podcast! 🎙️

Hosted by Ron Mentzer and Kris Buchman, the Tracks & Tackle Podcast brings you conversations from the guys at Mentzer Outdoors and 3B Outdoor Club. We’re a community of passionate outdoorsmen who love sharing stories, strategies, and the traditions that make hunting, fishing, and exploring the wild so special.

From whitetail deer and duck hunting to chasing turkey and fishing alike, we celebrate the great outdoors and everything that comes with it. We’re more than a podcast — we’re your hunting camp away from camp. A place where camaraderie, storytelling, and the thrill of the chase come together.

Together, Ron Mentzer and Kris Buchman founded the Tracks & Tackle Collaborative, a community of passionate outdoorsmen who share the mission to inspire everyone to Get Outdoors and keep the traditions alive. As part of Mentzer Outdoors and 3B Outdoor Club, we continue that same spirit.

At Tracks & Tackle, we believe Nature is our Playground, and we’re here to explore it with you. Whether you’re a seasoned hunter or just starting your outdoor journey, you’ll find a home here.
Tune in, connect with us, and join the Hunting Family! 🦌🎣🌲

Kris Buchman

Born and raised in the rolling foothills of the Appalachian mountains just south of the Mason Dixon line, Kris "Doe Commander" Buchman grew up hunting, fishing and running through the woods, streams and his family farms in north central Maryland.

Growing up in strict White-Tailed Deer hunting household, his interests shifted as he got older into fishing, small game hunting and eventually into his new favorite venture … waterfowl hunting.

In 2015, along with 2 friends, Kris founded the 3B Outdoors Club. It was started to bring back and celebrate the old-school traditions of hunt camp camaraderie and brotherhood in a modern world. Now, Kris co-hosts the Tracks & Tackle Podcast to share that same brotherhood with others.
