State of the Union with Amy Patrick from Oregon Hunters Association Mar 21, 2022

Show notes

Oregon Hunters Association (OHA) is dedicated to protecting Oregon’s wildlife, habitat, and hunting heritage. As Oregon's largest state centric hunting organization, OHA works closely with Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and other groups to protect the interests of hunters and trappers. This week, I'm joined by Amy Patrick, OHA's Policy Director. Amy works tirelessly advocating for Oregon hunters. In this episode, we discuss some of the big issues she's facing, such as IP13, trapping beavers, and wolves, that have the most potential to impact Oregon hunters.

Becoming a Navy SEAL, Knives, and Other Stuff with Payden Armstrong Mar 14, 2022

Show notes

A lot of people romanticize the idea of becoming a SEAL— they don't know what it takes to get there. It's years of training before you're even operational. Payden Armstrong is one of the few people who's lived through that experience. As a former SEAL himself, Payden walks me through what it took to join SEAL Team 3, as well as some of his deployments. Now Payden is a co-founder of the companies Norden Knives and Norden Outdoors. We discuss gear and how to innovate a tool that's been used for thousands of years.

Growing Up Downwind of Chernobyl, with Andrei Stsiapanau Mar 07, 2022

Show notes

Andrei Stsiapanau's story is absolutely incredible. He was born and raised in Belarus, which was a part of the Soviet Union at the time. As a child, Andrei lived just 70 miles as the crow flies from the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, and was only 2 when the worst nuclear disaster in history, both in cost and casualties, struck. At the age of 7, he watched the fall of the Soviet Union. All through elementary and middle school, Andrei had to wear a device that measured and monitored his internal body radiation. Now, living the American Dream here in the states as an electrical engineer and contractor, his life and access to hunting looks very different than it once did. A lot of people have been asking me to share my opinion on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and at this point in time, I feel like I don't yet know enough to say. So, I wanted to have Andrei on the show to share his life experiences and feelings about what's happening right now. To give us all a little more context and insight into the places and people that are living through this war.

How to Survive a Medical Emergency in the Backcountry, with Safari Medic Dr. Brian Tallerico Feb 21, 2022

Show notes

Dr. Brian Tallerico has been a practicing orthopedic surgeon for the past 20 years. He also served as a surgeon in the Navy and has seen his fair share of medical trauma. Brian has spent the past 15-20 years hunting international game, often in rugged, hostile environments. So often, hunters will spend money and time on equipment and training to up their game, but they don't put enough value on buying a proper med kit and knowing how to use it. Brain wants hunters and outdoorsman to be prepared for any medical emergency with a good kit and some knowledge, so that they can save their hunt from ending early, or, more importantly, save a life. That's why he created Safari Medic, a company that sells med kits tailored to fit your personal needs and environments. If you're going to go on a hunt of a lifetime, don't let it end early if you can help it.

How to Get Attacked by a Grizzly and Survive with Sam Kezar Feb 14, 2022

Show notes

On September 21st, 2021, Sam Kezar and his friend were attacked by a grizzly bear while out elk hunting. This is a story that has never been shared with the public. Sam is not telling it now for glory or attention, but because his story might be enough to save someone else's life someday. The actions that Sam took before going out on this hunt, and the actions that he and his friend took while the bear was charging, saved them both. Grizzly bears are not to be underestimated, and if you're going to go out in bear country, you need to be prepared.

The Kevin Harlander Episode Jan 31, 2022

Show notes

Kevin Harlander and I have been friends for a decade. When we first met, I was guiding, and he was working in marketing at our local brewery. We both had a passion for hunting but the idea of being a professional in the hunting industry hadn't quite taken hold yet. Now, Kevin is deep in that industry. He's the Director of Community for First Lite Hunting Apparel. He's the guy that finds and works with the hunting experts on the First Lite Pro Team. If you've ever wanted to be a professional hunter and have a driving passion for the pursuit of game, Kevin has some really great advice on how to get there.

From the Ghettos of LA to the Elk Woods, with Guy Duplantier Jan 24, 2022

Show notes

Guy Duplantier grew up poor in LA’s inner city. As a kid, he was faced with potentially life changing decisions every day, such as the pressures to join a gang. But Guy wasn’t about to let his circumstances define his life. With the help of a strong family support system, he found his calling in the outdoors. First from fishing and free diving, to eventually archery hunting pigs and deer. After seeing an elk herd up close, a fire for pursuing elk was lit, and he’s never looked back. He now hosts the incredible hunting podcast, Western Contours. Guy is one of my favorite voices in hunting, and I can’t encourage people enough to give his show a listen. In this episode, Guy walks me through his early years and how he came to love chasing elk.
