How to Talk About Guns, with True Pearce Apr 19, 2021

Show notes

True Pearce wears many hats. He's a practicing attorney, the editor of Guns America and Hunt 365, a competitive shooter, firearms instructor, Cabela’s Pro Staff, and avid hunter. He’s a sponsored 3 gun shooter but has also competed in other disciplines including long range F Class, USPSA, and IDPA. With a new president in office and a national ammo shortage, these are scary times for responsible gun owners and advocates. In this episode, True and I tackle the question of how we can have well informed conversations about guns in this country with people from both sides of the aisle. I couldn't ask for a more knowledgable guy to discuss this with, and I hope our fellow gun advocates take his advice to heart.

Bering Sea Crab Fishing, with Lars Skovlin Apr 12, 2021

Show notes

Lars Skovlin just got off his first season crab fishing in the Bering Sea aboard the Lady Alaska. If you've ever watched the Deadliest Catch, you know how dangerous this work can be. Sometimes out for 30 days straight, crab fisherman work long, hard hours where it's easy to get in trouble if you're not on your A-game at all times. As a greenhorn, Lars experienced and learned a lot in a short time. From steering the ship in 30 ft swells to baiting pots and sorting crab, he's excited to get back out there this fall.

This week, we're recording from south Texas, fresh off two incredible hunts for axis deer and feral hogs. I'm joined by my hunting guide, Brandon Blanch of El Sapo Guide Service.

When folks think of Texas hunting, there are a lot of misconceptions and negative feelings. But Brandon does it right. He puts in the work and he gets results.

Brian Sanders of Oregon Backcountry Outfitting is the best Elk guide in the state. And Mike Kimmel, the Python Cowboy, removes giant invasive snakes and lizards from the swamps of Florida.

How to Learn to Hunt with Finn Both Mar 08, 2021

Show notes

Hunting is an intimidating sport to get into if you're starting from square one. How can you become effective if you don't know anyone who hunts? Where do you even start? Finn Both grew up in the suburbs of Seattle, and is now a college student at Boise State University. Neither of his parents hunt, but he decided at the age of 11 that he was going to learn. Finn taught himself how to archery and rifle hunt watching youtube videos, reading forums, and listening to podcasts. Many people fall into the trap of "what to learn" instead of "how to learn". Finn is a great example of someone who understands how to learn, practice, and teach others. If you've always wanted to hunt, but don't know where to start, this episode is your motivation.

Flying the Backcountry with Joe Spence Feb 22, 2021

Show notes

When it comes to flying the Eagle Cap Wilderness and Hells Canyon, Joe Spence is a local legend. Joe knew he wanted to be a pilot since he was 5 years old, and in 1978, he joined the Joseph Flyers Club and started training. Over the course of his career, he has logged about 20,000 flight hours. This man has literally spent over two years of his life in the air. Operating a Cessna 206 and a Piper Cub, Joe has done countless game census flights, trained a lot of pilots, and saved numerous people injured in the backcountry. Flying over mountains and canyons is dangerous business, but there's no one I trust more in a plane than Joe.

Wolves in Oregon with Todd Nash Feb 15, 2021

Show notes

No animal in the U.S. has faced as much persecution or been as controversial as the gray wolf. As settlers moved out west and began farming and ranching, they came into direct competition with this predator. By the early 20th century, hunting and government sponsored wolf bounties had brought this animal to near extinction in the lower 48. But that all changed when wolves were reintroduced, first to Yellowstone and Idaho, and then eventually to Oregon. Today, I'm joined by a very special guest and expert on the recent history of wolves in Oregon. A Wallowa County Commissioner, cattle rancher, President Elect of the Oregon Cattleman’s Association, and my dad, Todd Nash. Todd has experienced first hand the carnage that a pack of wolves can wreak on a herd of cattle. Ever since his first confirmed wolf depredation, my dad has worked tirelessly to make sure wolves are managed properly and to give a voice to the ranchers and farmers of Eastern Oregon.

The Futurology of Hunting with Cody Rich Feb 08, 2021

Show notes

The future is coming whether you like it or not. Why not prepare for it as best as you can? Today, I'm joined by Cody Rich of The Rich Outdoors podcast, to talk about the futurology of hunting. What will hunting and hunting technology be like in 50 years? What will the state of our deer and elk populations be? Will people even really hunt, or will it all be virtual reality? Now, Cody and I don't claim to be academic futurologists, but this is something we've given a lot of thought. These hypothetical conversations are important ones to have. If we want to keep hunting well into the future, we need to anticipate problems and come up with solutions while we still have healthy populations to hunt.
