Huntavore - A Bittersweet Start to 2026 Jan 02, 2026

Show notes

Nick was given a huge opportunity to acquire a reindeer carcass. He lays out the events that lead to this, how it wasn't a hunt, but a dispatch of an animal. How he will go about salvaging as much as he can, from skull and antlers, to meat and hide. It is a glaring look at the relationship we have with livestock, the relationship we have as farmers and butchers, and a parallel of how a years end can be sad, but a new year is beginning.

Pennsylvania Woodsman - Why Rifle Season Hits Different Dec 31, 2025

Show notes

In this end-of-year episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitchell is joined once again by Grant Forney from the Everyday Outdoorsman to reflect on the 2025 hunting season and how their perspectives have evolved. Together, they dig into the shifting balance between archery and rifle hunting, why rifle season has become increasingly meaningful, and how predictability, shared camp time, and cold-weather patterns have reshaped the way they enjoy deer season. The discussion moves beyond antlers and success, touching on pressure, expectations, public land realities, and how chasing “bigger” goals can sometimes cloud the deeper reasons we hunt in the first place.
The episode takes a powerful turn as Grant shares the story of introducing his girlfriend to hunting for the first time—watching curiosity grow into confidence, responsibility, and ultimately a successful rifle harvest. From mentoring without pressure to respecting the weight of taking an animal’s life, the conversation highlights what it truly means to pass on hunting traditions thoughtfully. As the year closes, Mitchell and Grant reflect on priorities, family, mentorship, and the importance of adapting seasons and expectations to the stage of life you’re in. It’s an honest, relatable discussion about growth, balance, and why hunting is about far more than tags filled or trophies earned.
