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.
