The Road to Citizenship through Hunting, with José Correa Mar 06, 2023

Show notes

When he was just seventeen, José Correa left his home in Mexico, and everything he'd ever known to come to the United States. He walked for ten straight days through the desert, with no food or water for the last three. I have to wonder, what situation could be so bad to make someone risk death just to come to America? In this episode, José shares the story of why he had to leave home, his love for this country, and how he learned to hunt just 10 years ago. Now a green card holder, he wants to become a U.S. citizen so that he can vote to protect gun and hunting rights. José might not have come to this country legally, but he deserves to be here. He's an incredibly hard worker and a good person who found a love for hunting and a better life here in the United States.

Podcast Takeover by Greg Jones Feb 27, 2023

Show notes

This week's episode is a bit different than what you're used to. Instead of me asking all the questions, I'm going to be the one on the spot. My good friend and frequent guest on the show, Greg Jones, interviewed me in his stone house, armed with listener questions. This episode is less about giving advice, and more about just getting to know me. We discuss my love for my home, the 6 Ranch, my service as a Marine, my experiences guiding and hunting, and my current hunting obsession.

Smokejumping in the 1970s with Ken Poole Feb 20, 2023

Show notes

I spent my summers during college fighting forest fires on a rappel crew. It was some of the toughest, most physically demanding work I've ever experienced, and I have a tremendous amount of respect for my fellow wildland firefighters. And as a rappeller, I also have a healthy rivalry with smokejumpers. My guest today, Ken Poole, was a smokejumper from 1977 to 1983. Over the course of his career, he made at least 117 fire jumps out of some of the best bases in the country. Fighting fire is a fun job, but it can also be incredibly dangerous. In this episode, Ken and I swap some of our craziest stories of jumping out of planes, landing in trees, carrying 150 pound packs, and fighting fire with the best of them.

Archery Lethality with Dr. Randy Greenshields Feb 13, 2023

Show notes

When it comes to archery lethality and shot placement, there are tons of common misconceptions out there. Here to bust some of those myths is the incredibly knowledgeable Dr. Randy Greenshields. Randy has been a practicing veterinarian for the past 29 years and has been bow hunting for just as long. With his extensive knowledge of animal anatomy and personal archery experience, Randy is the perfect person to explain just what an arrow is doing when it hits an animal, and where exactly you should be placing that shot. I also have Randy go through my first aid kit while sharing tips on how to treat horses, mules, and dogs in the backcountry.

The Spearfishing Episode, with Steph Schuldt and Kiley Umeda Feb 06, 2023

Show notes

Spearfishing is my favorite thing that I'm bad at. I'm absolutely fascinated by it, and how similar it is to bow hunting. Today, we've got a double header for you, two interviews with two different spearfishing experts, Steph Schuldt and Kiley Umeda. Steph gave up the corporate life, sold all her belongings, bought a sailing catamaran, and now lives in the Bahamas where she's in the water at least 5 days a week. Steph is a freediving and spearfishing instructor, and happens to hold 7 world spearfishing records, including the all-time (for men and women) pole spear wahoo record. Kiley Umeda lives in Hawaii where she's been spearfishing for 23 years, and hunting since she was 10. Kiley is the owner of Aimrite International, a world renowned speargun manufacturing company, and spends much of her time building high quality spearguns. Spearfishing might be a totally foreign sport to some listeners out there, but trust me, you're going to want to try it after hearing from these badass women.

Jared himself is an avid hunter and outdoorsman with a passion for long range rifle hunting, archery, and waterfowl.

When Hunting Goes Wrong, with Casey Richmond Jan 23, 2023

Most hunting stories you hear pick up just when things are going well. Even if there was struggle along the way, it always seems to work out in the end. But as hunters, we know that's often not the case, and things don't always go according to plan. In this episode, Casey Richmond, and I swap some of our unsuccessful hunting stories. Casey hunts, traps, and works for Eberlestock, a company that makes some of my favorite frame packs. Casey also shares some tips that will save your back on your next pack out.

The Hunter's Wife, with Britt Marshall Jan 09, 2023

Show notes

Britt Marshall was a SoCal girl from Orange County. She had nothing against hunting growing up, but it wasn’t something her family ever did. Never in a million years did she think she would live a life filled with hunting trips and family meat processing nights. But then she met my good buddy Bam at a stoplight and the rest is history. Britt is married to a hunter, is now a hunter herself, and is raising two daughters to hunt with respect and mindfulness. Her tips to the wives out there: you don’t have to pull the trigger yourself but try to be a part of the process. Learn how to make bone broth and use tallow to fix everything.

How to Plan a Hunting Trip to Texas, with James Nash Jan 02, 2023

Show notes

I travel to many different states each year to hunt, but one of my favorite places to go is Texas. In fact, I just got back from an awesome Texas hunt where a buddy of mine harvested a beautiful scimitar oryx. Texas' rich species and terrain diversity offers some incredible opportunities, but if you've never traveled out of state to hunt, the planning process can be daunting. I'm here to tell you that it's not as complicated as it seems. In this episode I'll walk you through how to plan a Texas hunt. I'll cover choosing a target species, finding a guide, flying with your gun and ammo, and how you'll get your meat and taxidermy home. With the start of a new year, I encourage listeners to step out of their comfort zones and seek new hunting opportunities, in whatever way they can.
