Tracks & Tackle: Nature is our Playground
Welcome to the Tracks & Tackle Podcast! 🎙️
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. Hosted by the guys at Mentzer Outdoors, we bring you conversations that celebrate the great outdoors—from whitetail deer and duck hunting to chasing turkey and fishing alike.
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. We collaborate with several outdoors clubs with a shared mission to inspire everyone to Get Outdoors and keep the traditions alive.
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! 🦌🎣🌲

Tracks & Tackle: Nature is our Playground
EP 111: Spring is Around the Corner – Ron & Kris Freestyle Chat!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Spring is knocking on the door in Pennsylvania, and Ron Mentzer & Kris Buchman are feeling the excitement! In this laid-back, freestyle conversation, we talk about the weather finally warming up, longer days, green-up in the woods, and getting ready for the transition from late winter to spring turkey, early fishing, and pre-season scouting. Nature is our Playground, and it's time to shake off the cabin fever!
