How to Hunt Idaho Jul 23, 2024

Show notes

Seth Horst and Dave Faller sit down with Jake Kremer from North Idaho Archery to ask all the basic hunting questions listeners might have as well. Hunting has a culture all its own in North Idaho, and Jake is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to whitetail deer and elk. Jake grew up in North Idaho, is an Army combat Veteran, former local Law Enforcement Officer, and now co-owns North Idaho Archery—a full-service pro archery shop in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

In this episode, we talk about hunting basics, how to get started, where to hunt, and the process of what to do after you successfully take down an animal. It can be very intimidating to get started in hunting, especially with a bow. If the goal is to put wild game on the dinner table, this episode can help get you there.

Leadership Without Ego Jul 16, 2024

Show notes

Seth Horst and Eric Boardman sit down with Holly Lindsey, the Sheriff of Shoshone County, Idaho to talk about her unique leadership style and how her team has been making huge changes in their community. Sheriff Lindsey grew up in Shoshone County and came up in the Sheriff’s office at a time when it was difficult for women to break into Law Enforcement. That experience helped shape her style of community policing and her strong ties to the local population.

Sheriff Lindsey shares about the challenges faced in her department, specifically how lack of funding impacts competitive pay and facility updates. She also discusses the recent crime trends that are plaguing the residents of Shoshone County, including the recent rise in crimes against children and the fentanyl epidemic that is also sweeping the entire nation. If you are a resident of Shoshone County, or are interested in the unique aspects of rural North Idaho policing, then this podcast is for you!
