Sig Sauer P320-XTEN 10mm May 26, 2022

Show notes

It's finally here. This gun has been in the works for years, and at last, I can hold it in my hand and tell you about it. As someone who's personally been charged by a bear and defended myself with a Sig 10mm, I take this stuff seriously. I carry a pistol, and now I'll carry this one. The Sig Sauer P320-XTEN 10mm is a semi-automatic striker fired handgun. It uses a polymer grip module and has a modular frame. This gun is versatile and unlike a Glock, it can shoot hard cast bullets, which is exactly what you need in bear country. In this episode, Hunter Manson, an engineer with Sig's Research and Development Team, walks me through every feature of this handgun including its design, application, and capabilities on the range and in the field.

Coyotes and Leprechauns with Finny May 23, 2022

Show notes

Born in Utah and raised in Finland, Finny spent many hours of his childhood with his dad unsuccessfully hunting coyotes. But instead of discouraging him, those early life experiences fueled Finny to learn the game and become incredibly effective. As a guide with R&K Hunting in Utah, Finny sat down with me during a coyote hunt to explain how he uses dogs to draw in these smart, tough to kill animals. Hunting coyotes with dogs is the way to go, and surprisingly, most dogs who are in good shape and can come on command can learn to do the job. Take a listen to this one folks, because your pup just might have the potential to be a great coyote dog.

Toddlers in the Wilderness, with Todd Nash May 16, 2022

Show notes

I grew up in the wilderness. In my family, it's perfectly normal to pack a toddler into the backcountry. My father was raised the same way, spending weeks in the Sierras before he could walk. Those early life experiences gave me a deep appreciation for the wilderness, which in turn, has become an integral part of my character. In this episode, I sit down with my dad, Todd Nash, as he recounts stories from my childhood, up in the mountains. We also get into the state of our deer and predator populations here in Oregon, and how they've changed within our lifetimes.

Everything Ballistics with Bryan Litz from Applied Ballistics May 09, 2022

Show notes

How does one become, in my opinion, the greatest mind in ballistics today? For Bryan Litz, it's always been about hitting targets. Bryan's passion led him to earn a degree in Aerospace Engineering, followed by a stint working as a civilian contractor for the U.S. Air Force on Air-to-air missile design, modeling and simulation. He's a champion rifle shooter, a published author and currently the Chief Ballistician for Berger Bullets. Bryan's own company, Applied Ballistics, is dedicated to being a complete and unbiased source of external ballistics information for long range shooters. In this episode, Bryan answers listener questions as we cover everything that might affect your accuracy on the range or in the field.

Wildlife Conservation in the 21st Century May 02, 2022

Show notes

There are some powerful groups out there hellbent on banning hunting and trapping. As hunters, we can combat these groups by speaking with legislators. But who has the time to sit down and write individualized emails to every policy maker? Not to mention the time it takes to track down the right contact info. Hunters deserve to have their voices heard, and now, thanks to Howl for Wildlife, advocating for hunting is easier than ever. My guest today, Charles Whitwam, founded Howl for Wildlife, a non-profit that provides an actionable platform for conservationists. Through Howl, you can choose an issue, and quickly send a well written email to every legislator with a say. Howl is a place to educate yourself, with digestible breakdowns and talking points for most wildlife issuea out there. If you care about conservation and want to keep hunting well into the future, I highly encourage you to get involved and check out this awesome organization.

Spring Bear Hunting Apr 25, 2022

Show notes

This podcast was born on a river. The Snake River to be exact, as almost 2 years ago today, I recorded the first episode of the show on a spring bear hunt. This year, I'm joined by Jim Huddleston, who's been running jets up rivers and in the salt for years. He's has never been on this river, and was excited to get his brand new boat out on the water. Jim has spent his whole life recreating outdoors, and in this episode we discuss his experience hunting, crabbing, and fishing on the Oregon Coast.

Brian Flynn, Green Beret and Land Steward Apr 18, 2022

Show notes

Brian Flynn has dedicated over 18 years to the U.S. Army and Department of Defense, both as a Soldier and a civilian. While serving with the Army's 5th Special Forces Group, he trained in military mountaineering and discovered a love for rugged landscapes. Brian's experience transitioning out of military life, and his strong connection to the healing power of the outdoors led him to form Two Wolf Foundation. This new non-profit is dedicated to promoting post-traumatic growth, healing, and purpose in the lives of combat veterans and first responders through service-based land stewardship programs and conservation projects. The transition to civilian life is never easy. Two Wolf Foundation makes it easier by helping veterans find new purpose and community in caring for wild places.

Exploring the Microbiome, with Dr. Catherine Moring Apr 11, 2022

What is our microbiome and what does it do for us? As it turns out, everything! Humans couldn't survive without microbes in our body. From regulating our immune system and metabolism, to producing serotonin and maintaining mental health, a healthy gut microbiome is the key to a healthy body. This week, I'm chatting with Dr. Catherine Moring. Catherine has an impressive number of letters after her name. She's a licensed dietician and expert in diabetes care, who started a wellness center, online diabetes coaching program, and private nutrition practice.

Dall Sheep Hunting the Hard Way, with Jordan Budd Mar 28, 2022

Show notes

Jordan Budd has now been on every type of sheep hunt North America has to offer. Last August, she killed a Dall sheep in Alaska. Dall sheep hunting requires a tremendous amount of mental and physical toughness, and this hunt took that to the extreme. Jordan’s hunt showcased the worst weather her guide had ever seen, resulting in days spent alone in a tent. The terrain was steep and nearly shredded her boots, and the pack out was grueling. But she stuck it out and got the job done. In this episode, Jordan relives her Dall sheep hunt. This story will either help you realize that this type of experience isn’t for you, or make you want a Dall sheep more than ever.
