N.F.C. - Just A Guy Who Loves Deer Camp

About this episode

Some hunting stories are funny. This one is pure deer-camp gold. Greg Franzoni and Dan Johnson trade the kind of public-land memories, family traditions, and hard-earned lessons that only come from years in the woods - and a few disasters you have to hear to believe.

Greg shares how a second-weekend deer camp became a multi-generation tradition built on communication, patience, and a whole lot of laughter. Dan brings the perspective of a bowhunter and storyteller who knows exactly how much the culture around hunting matters, especially when kids, dads, buddies, and grandkids all start showing up with their own stories.

You’ll discover:

  • Why deer camp is about far more than filling a tag
  • How Greg’s crew manages public-land deer drives with walkie-talkies, shared maps, and constant awareness
  • The hilarious origin stories behind nicknames like Roadkill and Joe Boo
  • What it was like hunting with barely any gear, frozen feet, and questionable orange
  • Why the meals, the cabin, and the stories around the table may be the real reason the tradition survives


Greg also opens up about becoming a hunter without growing up in a hunting family, how bowhunting changed his approach, and why teaching, sports, and outdoor life all connect through the same competitive, comedic spirit. Dan adds his own unforgettable childhood hunting mishaps, including one that will make every listener wince and laugh at the same time.

This episode is a reminder that hunting is never just hunting - it’s the people, the stories, the rituals, and the shared history that keep bringing everyone back. Essential listening if you love deer camp, public-land hunting, family traditions, or just a great story told by two guys who know how to keep it real.
