The short version
If there's an open season, Ron's in it
Ron Lanzo is what the old-timers call a multi-season hunter: bow in October, crossbow through the rut, muzzleloader in December, rifle wherever the tags take him. He's hunted whitetail in the Northeast, chased hogs through brutal winter cold, and in August 2026 he boarded a plane to Johannesburg with his son Ron Jr. for the hunt of a lifetime.
The channel is exactly what it says on the badge: a boomer who never hung it up, filming real hunts with real outcomes. Batteries die. Shots get missed. Hogs win some rounds. It all stays in the edit — because that's hunting, and Ron figures you deserve the honest version.
When he's not in a stand, Ron mentors younger hunters, runs RALCO Enterprises, and is already at work on his next book. He wrote Networking Works because relationships built his whole career — and the same handshake philosophy runs the channel today.
The trail so far
How a boomer became a ranger
A lifetime pointed outdoors
Decades of Northeast seasons — learning the woods one tag, one weapon, and one long sit at a time, while building a sales career on handshakes and follow-through.
The Ohio hunt that lit the fuse
Sean McVeigh of Sean's Outdoor Adventures invites Ron on an Ohio whitetail hunt alongside Nathan of The Budget Sportsman. Ron watches creators film real hunts — and the idea for a channel takes root.
Boomer Ranger Ron goes live
Ron points a camera at the whole thing — scouting, sits, hits, misses — and finds an audience of hunters who'd rather watch something real than something perfect.
The frozen hog hunt
Single-digit cold kills nearly every camera in camp. Ron salvages his footage, tags his hog, and comes home with the channel's hardest-earned lesson about winter filming.
South Africa, with Ron Jr. on camera
Father and son fly to Johannesburg for a plains-game safari — the biggest adventure in the channel's history, filmed start to finish. The safari series is now rolling out on the channel.
Why “Boomer Ranger”?
Age is a number.
Woodsmanship is a resume.
Plenty of folks Ron's age traded the treestand for a recliner. Ron went the other way — more seasons, more weapons, more miles. The name is a wink and a promise: the boomer generation still has hunts left in it, and Ron intends to film every one.
The author side
One idea built a career — and a channel
"People buy from people they know, like, and trust — and they refer them for the same reasons." — Ron Lanzo, Networking Works
That line has carried Ron through every sales floor, trade show, and hunting camp he's walked into. It's also why the channel feels like hunting with an old friend — because with Ron, what you see is what you get.
