Days in the Wild
The Days in the Wild Podcast (formerly Interviews with The Hunting Masters) started in 2006 as a way for Hunting Channel members to get their hunting-related questions answered by professional hunters. Since opening it up to the hunting public in 2016, John has continued to bring on expert guests to share their knowledge and help his listeners grow as hunters.
Join John each week as he interviews some of the smartest and most successful hunters in North America. One of the fundamental aspects of Days in the Wild is that it delves into more of the how-tos of hunting... more of what the everyday hunter needs. We wanted to have a show that helped hunters answer those questions we had when we first started going out in the field.
Most people can't afford to hunt with a guide, can't spend half the year planting food plots or even do a lot of scouting. John shares the real side of hunting, the misses, the blown opportunities and the work it takes to get there. Most of all, he wanted to share some of his tactics, good or bad, with listeners.

John Stallone, Host
I first cut my teeth hunting as a young boy, taking my first whitetail with my father in NY at the age of five. Hunting was a great experience treasured by my family. We went small and big game hunting every chance we got, just as another excuse to spend time together. I remember my dad taking me every morning before school to shoot my bb-gun; some of my most memorable moments in childhood were spent in the field with my dad.
Growing up, those traits and teachings that my dad taught me in the field stuck with me as I developed my hunting skills and became a man. I thank my dad each day for taking me out with him. As I grew older, my taste for hunting changed, and I discovered bowhunting. I took up bowhunting at the age of thirteen and have been in love with the sport ever since. I do rifle hunt from time to time; however, I would rather fail with my bow than be successful with my rifle.
I've run The Hunting Channel online, have had my own TV show since 2004, am an outdoor writer for several publications, run a popular hunting blog and YouTube channel and have a registered Whitetail Slam. I also have my degree in Wildlife Management, am a certified Deer Manager and I have published two books. Aside from my loving family, hunting is my life.
