Driftwood Outdoors

You WILL NOT find a couple of better guys than Brandon Butler and Nathan "Shags" McLeod.  These are the fellas that founded Driftwood Outdoors and they are passionate about hunting, fishing, and conservation.  If you are looking for up-to-date articles to read online, just visit their website.  Are you looking for a new outdoors podcast to listen to?  They've got you covered there too.  The bottom line is that these two gentlemen are entertaining to listen to and dedicated to conservation.

I am proud to say that I have had the pleasure of meeting these guys and while I can type all day about how great they are, their resumes speak for themselves.  Brandon has received multiple awards for his conservation efforts and is an accomplished writer.  Shags (the big fella, obviously), has been recognize for his work in radio multiple times and is the co-founder of Conservation Day at the Capitol.

Personally, I think their biggest and best contribution to the outdoors is their podcast.  They release a new podcast every Tuesday morning and they cover a wide range of topics.  Many topics are Missouri-based such as the upcoming elk season this fall in Missouri.  Aside from offering consistent content, they offer outstanding guests.  Some you will know like Chuck Gries (Angler Outfitters of Lake Taneycomo), Duane Doty (Ozark Trout Runners) and Lauren "Big Fish" Plunkett (collegiate bass angler and social media superstar).  Other guests will be new to you such as Larry Whitley but you'll get to know them fast.  In fact, you already know of Larry because you've probably heard his voice coming from the rafters of a Bass Pro Shops.  He does all the voice work for them.  One of my favorite episodes is the one with Brian Sloss.  This was Episode 5 and they actually recorded their podcast while fishing on the 11 Point River!  If you don't believe me about how great their podcast is, just read the glowing review that was written by Wes Johnson in the Springfield News Leader.

You can find their podcasts on Spotify, Apple, Google, their website, or anywhere you get your podcasts.  On another note, did you know that in 2019, 51% of Americans had listened to a podcast?  I write that because I want to stress how this is a growing media and a great way to learn and be entertained whether at home or on the go!
