E76: A Knack For Big Racks ( Feat. Jared Mills of Midwest Whitetail on Locating, Accessing, Hunting, and Killing Giant Bucks) Jul 19, 2018

Show notes

We all like the idea of killing mature bucks. However, if we are honest with ourselves, the idea of a giant set of antlers is enthralling. There is just something about the rarity and beauty of a world class animal that make our hearts race and skip a beat all at the same time. Jared Mills is a guy who justs has a knack for these beasts. He has had so many encounters, chased so many monster deer, and arrowed an astounding number of giants that it has to be way more than luck.

This interview is jam packed with info that we selfishly will be using to try to seal the deal this fall. Luckily for you, we recorded it so that you can do the same!

E73: Hunting an Experience (feat. Garry Greenwalt, Whitetail Guru Turned Alaska Bushman on Travel, Bear Attacks, and Why We Hunt) Jun 28, 2018

Show notes

For many, hunting is an escape. For others it is a way of life. Still others view it as a way to reconnect with their primal ancestry. No matter what your views, I'm sure that when you leave the pavement and enter the wild place you are after a certain experience.

In a time of intense social and political polarization, we do our best to have a median approach to what drives us. Yes we eat what we kill. Yes we gawk and ogle at giant bucks on the wall. All parts of wildlife hold value and we do our best to recognize their worth.

What a great discussion on what hunting should be we had with Garry Greenwalt. This fellow understands the satifaction of being outside, the importance of our heritage, and the necessity of understanding where protein comes from. Gary is a man whose many adventures and experiences have yielded him a unique but very familiar appreciation for wildlife and wild places. The quest for great experiences never ends.

Today on the podcast we have an interview that we recorded in late February with journalist and TV show host Mark Kayser. We hope this helps get you through the hot weather and takes you mentally to a cooler place. Mark's tips are numerous and should be very helpful even for the veteran hunter.

E70: Hunting And The Internet (A Look At The Effects of The Age of Communication, Information, And How It Has Changed The Way We Hunt, Live, And Interact With Our Fellow Man And Beast) Jun 08, 2018

Show notes

The strange thing is that the subject we discuss on todays show is the whole reason you are able to listen to us in the first place. We share information with you. You share with your friends. Everyone everywhere is in a constant state of communication and information sharing. The Internet, the world wide web, our digital connection makes it all possible, but is it really good for hunting, hunters, and wildlife? We go into a deep discussion today about the troubles it brings and some of the struggles we face as hunters in today's world. Don't worry. It isn't just a big negative fest! There are many good things that can be shared and gained, but it is up to us to ensure what is seen by the non-hunting public is positive.

We'd like to apologize for the episode being a day late this week . It is a very busy time of year for these two hustlers.
