ABOUT US

ABOUT THE 11TH COMMANDMENT PODCAST AND HUNTING CHANNEL

The 11th Commandment is more than a name — it’s a creed. Founded and hosted by Spook Spann and Brian Stephens, this brand represents decades of hard-earned wisdom in the whitetail woods, a deep commitment to faith and family, and a passion for educating the next generation of hunters.

At its core, The 11th Commandment is a world-class whitetail hunting and outdoor lifestyle platform that blends storytelling, education, and entertainment across multiple media outlets. Through our popular podcast, we bring real conversations to the table — from trophy buck strategies and land management tips, to fitness, nutrition, and the role faith plays in living with purpose. Each episode delivers proven tactics alongside personal stories that connect with hunters, athletes, and families alike.

On the ground and in the field, The 11th Commandment is backed by a history of record-book whitetail harvests and unrivaled expertise in deer behavior, seasonal patterns, and habitat improvement. Whether it’s chasing free-range giants in the Midwest, breaking down pre-rut strategies, or helping hunters understand the finer points of access, scent control, and stand placement, our mission is simple — to help you become more effective and ethical in the woods.

We also believe hunting is about more than tags and trophies. It’s about legacy — the values we pass down, the bonds we build with our families, and the stewardship we show for God’s creation. That’s why we integrate topics like physical fitness, mental toughness, and spiritual growth into everything we do, both on and off the microphone.

From YouTube videos that take you inside our hunts, to in-depth podcast episodes, to speaking at banquets and events, The 11th Commandment is dedicated to delivering high-value content for anyone who wants to elevate their skills, deepen their faith, and live a fuller life outdoors.

In the following sections, you’ll meet Spook Spann and Brian Stephens — two men whose unique journeys, hunting resumes, and life experiences form the foundation of The 11th Commandment.

SPOOK SPANN – THE 11th COMMANDMENT

For me, “The 11th Commandment” is about commitment—specifically, a commitment to the pursuit of giant bucks, much like the commitment to living faithfully according to the Ten Commandments and God’s will.

My success in chasing giant whitetails, along with the podcast, has given me a platform to encourage and guide other hunters. More importantly, it’s given me the chance to strive daily to be a better person and Christian, setting an example for those around me and, hopefully, influencing their journey to know Christ more deeply.

I want to leave a legacy as a passionate hunter and outdoorsman, but above all, as a man devoted to my wife, my children, my friends, and most importantly, to the Lord. Whatever influence I’ve been given, I want to use it to help others—in hunting, in life, and in faith.

I’ve been blessed to hunt across the world and take some incredible trophies. Yet at the end of the day, being a great hunter means little compared to being a faithful husband, loving father, loyal friend, and devoted Christian. That’s the mark I hope to leave behind.

BRIAN STEPHENS – THE 11th COMMANDANT

Brian Stephens grew up on a working cattle ranch in South and Central Florida, where riding horses, working cows, building fence, hunting, fishing, and exploring the woods fueled a lifelong passion for the outdoors.

After earning a degree in Nutritional Sciences and Biochemistry from the University of Florida, Brian began his career with Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine. In 2006, he completed his MBA and launched Stick’em Archery, LLC. That venture led him and business partner Bill Lawson to produce and host their own TV series, Ultimate Bowhunting Adventures.

Over the next five years, Brian became a familiar face in outdoor television, hosting The ScoutLook Chronicles, Spypoint Game Changers, and other hunting series. A passionate bowhunter who still loves the smell of gunpowder and the challenge of long-range shooting, Brian has hunted everything from Florida hogs, gators, Osceola turkeys, and trophy bucks to big game across North America. He’s achieved three Turkey Grand Slams with a bow and treasures every hunt as part of a lifetime in the field.

In 2010, Brian met renowned whitetail hunter Spook Spann, and the two became friends and later business partners. Together, they launched The 11th Commandmenthunting channel and podcast, where Brian serves as co-host. His role is to draw out Spook’s 40+ years of hard-earned hunting wisdom—tips, strategies, and lessons—to help listeners become more successful at finding and harvesting mature bucks.

A true Florida native, Brian lives and breathes the outdoors, blending his deep roots in ranching and hunting with decades of field experience to inspire and educate hunters everywhere.
