Welcome to the Chase: The Story Behind Gnarly Tines

At Gnarly Tines & Co. Productions, our content and beliefs are driven by a deep passion for the outdoors and a conviction that the hunt isn’t just about what we chase in the woods—it’s about who we become along the way. Through powerful storytelling, raw conversations, and an unwavering commitment to truth and growth, we aim to connect, inspire, and elevate a community of hunters, outdoorsmen, outdoorswomen, and anyone who refuses to back down from life’s toughest battles. Gnarly Tines is rooted in reflecting the grind, grit, and perseverance that define the human experience. The Gnarly Tines Podcast and YouTube Channel explore the thrill of whitetail hunting alongside the deeper life lessons that emerge from embracing the grind. From field strategies and gear insights to honest reflections on parenthood, recovery, and resilience—this isn’t just another hunting show. It’s a space for authentic stories, hard-earned wisdom, and the kind of real conversations that resonate long after the season ends.

At the heart of Gnarly Tines is our belief that EVERY SCAR HAS A STORY & EVERY STORY MATTERS—whether earned in the woods or forged through life’s battles, whether on the body or in the mind.

Through our podcast, YouTube channel, social media, blog, and growing community, we invite you to join the pursuit. Whether you’re in the stand or in the struggle, you’re not alone in the chase.

Every scar has a story, and every story matters.

Those words didn’t come to me in some grand moment of inspiration. They came from years of sitting in stands, walking through life’s hardest moments, and realizing that the hunt—the real hunt—isn’t just about what we’re chasing in the woods. It’s about who we become along the way.

Why Gnarly Tines?

If you’ve ever spent time in the outdoors, you know that the most memorable moments rarely happen when everything goes according to plan. It’s in the struggle, the grind, the moments when you’re pushed to your limits that the real stories are born. Whether it’s tracking a buck through thick cover, fighting through personal battles, or simply showing up when life gets tough—that’s where character is forged.

I’ve been hunting for [insert your timeframe], and what started as a passion for whitetails has evolved into something much deeper. The woods became my classroom, my therapy, and my proving ground. Every season taught me something new—not just about deer patterns or shot placement, but about persistence, patience, and what it means to push through when the odds are stacked against you.

But here’s the thing: those lessons didn’t stay in the woods. They followed me home. They showed up in my relationships, my work, my role as a [parent/partner/whatever applies to you]. The same grit it takes to sit through a cold November morning translates to every other battle life throws your way.

What You Can Expect

Gnarly Tines isn’t just another hunting podcast or YouTube channel. This is a space for the raw, unfiltered conversations that happen around campfires and in truck cabs after long days in the field. We’re going to talk about:

The Hunt: Field strategies, gear that actually works, and the kind of hard-earned wisdom that only comes from years of trial and error. Whether you’re chasing your first deer or your hundredth, there’s always more to learn.

The Grind: Life doesn’t stop during hunting season, and neither do the challenges we all face. We’ll dive into topics like parenthood, recovery, career struggles, and the mental battles that shape us—because the same mindset that makes you a better hunter makes you stronger in every area of life.

The Community: This isn’t a one-way conversation. The hunting community has always been about sharing stories, passing down wisdom, and having each other’s backs. That tradition continues here, whether you’re a seasoned veteran or just picking up a bow for the first time.

More Than Content—It’s Connection

I’m not here to pretend I have all the answers. Hell, most days I’m figuring it out as I go, just like everyone else. But I do know this: there’s power in authentic storytelling, in admitting our struggles, and in celebrating the small victories that happen both in the stand and in life.

Every scar tells a story—the ones visible on our hands from field dressing deer, and the invisible ones that life leaves on our hearts and minds. In a world that often feels superficial, Gnarly Tines is committed to going deeper, getting real, and building a community where every story matters.
