There are people who hunt deer… and then there are those who understand them.

For decades, Dr. Grant Woods has walked that line between hunter and scientist — part biologist, part storyteller — studying whitetails with the kind of curiosity that never fades. From the rolling hills of the Ozarks to the screens of GrowingDeer.tv, he’s turned science into strategy, and passion into purpose.

But behind every study and every hunt, there’s something deeper — a belief that conservation and faith go hand in hand… that great hunts aren’t just about the harvest, but about what we learn in the process.

And through it all, one name has followed that same tradition of trust and precision — Winchester. For years, Dr. Woods has relied on Winchester Ammunition not just as a product, but as a partner in the pursuit of better hunting, better understanding, and better stewardship of the land.

Today, we sit down with the man behind the data, the stories, and the passion that continues to shape how we think about deer and the wild places they call home.

This is Winchester Life, and our guest — Dr. Grant Woods.

From the wide-open fields of South Dakota to the bright lights of national television, Benny Spies has carved a path unlike any other in the outdoor world. For over a decade, he chased the dream of telling hunting stories his way — raw, real, and relatable.

With his beat-up ’73 Winnebago, “The Toaster,” and a relentless passion for the outdoors, Benny became the voice for the EveryOutdoorsMan — proving that hunting isn’t just about trophies, it’s about laughter, mistakes, memories, and family traditions.

Today, he joins us to talk about his journey from working behind the scenes at NBC and VH1, to hosting Gun It with Benny Spies, to his proud partnership with Winchester. This is a conversation about persistence, passion, and the power of keeping it real. This...is Winchester Life.
