PARTNERSHIPS, SPONSORS & AFFILIATES
I've been blessed to work with some amazing individuals and companies throughout my career. I want to highlight some of the folks and brands I have been partnering with, recently. Below you will find companies and people that I highly endorse and I hope you will visit their websites and socials, to learn more about them, and give them some support!
Seekins Precision
I had the distinct pleasure of having former Green Beret, Matty Nelson, from Seekins Precision & Hat CreekTraining, on the Son of a Blitch Podcast (Ep. 71 & 92). Soon after, he helped me pick out a Seekins Precision Havak Element rifle chambered in 300 PRC, which I used for the entirety of the 2024-2025 season. They make some of the best rifles in the industry and I have used their scope rings for many years with outstanding results. Give them a call and ask for Matty! ~GBB

Leica Sports Optics
I'll be testing out a host of Leica products in the field this year, while sharing videos, pictures and articles about the experience. I was recently joined by Ryan Holm on the podcast, where we discussed his role as the Director of Marketing for their Sport Optics division and what Leica has in store for the US market, and beyond. Check out Ep. 96 to learn more about Leica Sport Optics! ~GBB
"Looking for something exceptional, you’re certain to find it with Leica Sport Optics. We create our optics for people who want to experience their environment up close, rather than from a distance. People who demand more, when others accept less.
This is what drives our process of continuous improvement. Instead of resting on our laurels, we work with cutting-edge technologies to develop innovative ideas. Our greatest challenge is nature itself: it demands our absolute respect and it forms the cornerstone of every new project.
So please browse the following pages and form your own impressions: about us, our philosophy, the way we work – and the way our optics open new perspectives on the world around us."

Moultrie Products

|
I've been using Moultrie cameras on both my ranches for nearly 15 years and they have the most reliable cellular cameras I've ever used. Years ago, I became a proud member of the "Moultrie Mobile Field Team". IWhether I'm using them for census counts to hand over to the Wildgame Biologists, trying to track movements of a massive buck, or just capturing some off the wall stuff (Wild Emus chasing turkeys, wild horses knocking down corn out of a feeder for their wild hog friends, neighbor's longhorns punches holes in my house, etc) or using them for security purposes, I know I can rely on getting the highest quality image, directly to my phone within seconds of the image being taken. Can't beat that! Make sure you check out their product line below:

DECKED
OUR MISSION - TO ORGANIZE THE SH*T OUT OF AMERICA
Make no mistake about it. Our mission here at DECKED is pretty ambitious. But we won't stop until every truck has every tool and piece of gear stored neatly in its place.
Unlike many brands, DECKED refuses to build products overseas with half-assed shortcuts on product quality. Just as they were from our very beginning, all DECKED products are still made-in-the-USA.

Hornady
“Ten bullets through one hole” is the philosophy that brought Hornady® from a two‑man operation in 1949, to a world‑leading innovator of bullet, ammunition, reloading tool and accessory design and manufacture today.
Executive leadership of the Hornady Manufacturing Company has not faltered in the firm’s first 60 years. What was created in 1949 grew sound enough and strong enough to survive the cruel blow of losing the founder 32 years later. Under Steve Hornady’s leadership, and with the active support and involvement of the Hornady family, the business has doubled, and doubled again, and doubled again. In 2006, Jason Hornady, Steve's son, returned to the company as director of sales and is currently vice president. The stature of Hornady Manufacturing Company within its industry has never been higher.
Hornady Manufacturing has gone from a start‑up in a small Grand Island former auto body shop to become the largest independently owned maker of bullets, ammunition, and tools in the world. That’s quite an accomplishment. It demonstrates that a great many things have been done right throughout the company’s history. It suggests as well that the future may prove just as promising.
The Hornady Manufacturing Company is truly more than the sum of its employees, equipment and facilities. A visitor to Grand Island, Nebraska, can quickly discover how active the Hornady family has been in community affairs, how generous in its philanthropy, how concerned for helping others—including the larger shooting community.

Sharing The Land
As you may know, I co-own the company, Map My Ranch, where we specialize in creating the highest quality, printed maps for land users of all types. I spoke with Doug Duren, the creator of the "Sharing The Land" initiative, and after learning more about the project, Map My Ranch decided to become a sponsor, creating maps for the Land Owners that signed up through the program. We will announce more about the project and our involvement in future posts, podcasts and videos! But for now, please take a look below, to learn more!
Sharing the Land is a conservation cooperators network connecting landowners with hunters and private land access seekers. Building on the concept of the Riley Game Cooperative, STL is reinvigorating the Leopold Land Ethic through trade-based, bartering partnerships that develop relationships and exchanges access for work or other contributions to conservation.

Camp Chef
I'm very excited to be testing out some of Camp Chef's latest and greatest products at home, on the ranches, in the field, and around the tailgate. Camp Chef is the leader in creating the highest quality cooking gear for all your culinary needs. Make sure to visit their website, sign up for their newsletters, and follow their socials! ~GBB
ABOUT CAMP CHEF: We're explorers but we don't journey alone. Our quest? Sharing good times with others around a fire—be it on a mountainside, at seaside, or outside our backdoor. We know every good time starts with an invitation, and there's no better enticement than great-tasting food. And the best food, we believe, is cooked with a flame and kissed by smoke.
We're a passionate team of outdoor-lovers, makers, and culinary experts committed to bringing five-star flavor to the great outdoors with versatile gear that can stand up to the demands of both the backcountry and back patio foodies.
The same vision that reinvented camp-cooking thirty years ago guides everything we make today, from camp cook systems to pizza ovens to pellet grills.
Whatever we do, we'll never stop finding ways to help others gather outside because as food fuels our body and nature nourishes our spirit, togetherness sustains our souls.

Turtlebox Audio
I'm excited to use my new Turtlebox speakers at various upcoming events at the ranch, during the book tour events I host, when guiding hunters, and during family and friend get togethers! Nothing matches the quality of a Turtlebox! If you don't have one yet, it's time to place your orders! Don't forget to tune into my conversation with Will Bradley, co-founder of Turtlebox Audio! ~GBB
The genesis of Turtlebox Audio is a quintessential entrepreneurial story, as explained by Co-Founder Will Bradley, in the Son of a Blitch Podcast, Ep. 112. Thirteen years ago, four friends were living together on an acre of land along Buffalo Bayou in Houston. They needed a speaker that could withstand their adventurous lifestyle—something waterproof, durable, and loud enough to hear over boat engines. When they couldn't find what they wanted on the market, they built it themselves in their garage.
This wasn't initially intended to be a business venture. It was simply four friends solving their own problem. What happened next follows a familiar entrepreneurial trajectory—friends started asking where they could buy one. The team built about 50 units by hand in their garage, selling them to their immediate network. After that initial success, they realized they might be onto something bigger.
The product line has since expanded beyond the Original Turtlebox (now in its third generation) to include the smaller, mountable Ranger and the powerful Grande with its 10-inch woofer. What sets Turtlebox apart from competitors is their unwavering focus on outdoor performance. As Will explained, "Turtlebox is an outdoor speaker. It's built with the outdoors in mind. We do our sound curves outside, and it's the best performing outdoor speaker on the market."

onX Hunt
I've always been a massive fans of onX Maps and their incredible apps! Our team at Map My Ranch has used onX Hunt for a long time now, and we often train our customers on how to use it, to give us the location of the custom points they want us to label and put on their printed maps.
Map My Ranch and onX Hunt already had some connections as we are both sponsors for Doug Duren's "Sharing The Land" project, and we've both worked with some of the same individuals and companies in the Outdoors Industry...it always felt like a matter of time before we would cross paths and see how our synergy might grow into a Partnership of some sort.
Well, that day is finally upon us! We had some amazing conversations with Jared Larsen, who is a Marketing Manager with onX, and their team has decided to offer some onX Hunt "Elite Memberships" for free to our clients for 3 months!
We'll be training our clients on how to use the app and the desktop versions, so they can hold the power of onX Hunt in their own hands, and customize whatever it is they want to have us design and print with our high end aerial imagery. Having a tool like onX is extremely valuable, for so many reasons.
We highly encourage you to check out the other onX Maps apps, aside from onx Hunt. They also have onX Offroad (Off-Road Map App - the most trusted off-roading and snowmobiling app to discover nearby trails, plan and track your trips, and get home safely.) and onX Backcountry (See why onX Backcountry is the ultimate GPS navigation app for your outdoor pursuits).
Thank you, onX Maps, for making such an amazing apps, and for helping to add another layer of benefits for our customers! I know they will all greatly benefit as a result!
