Episode 16 | Bear in the Crosshairs

Episode 16 | Bear in the Crosshairs

This is the story of the 2020 early Fall bear season here in AZ. My buddy Josh (@dialedinhunter) and I went on a couple different hunts and really put in the work during a hot, dry, difficult year. Josh tagged out the day after I had to leave camp, and I returned solo the following weekend and had a ridiculously close call on a beautiful bruin.

Episode 14 | So Close Yet So Far

In this episode, I tell the story of my 2016 AZ Archery Elk Hunt. In one week of hunting I had more close calls on elk than I’ve ever had on any single hunt. Though I didn’t tag out, the lessons learned in that season definitely prepared me for the success I had the following year!

Episode 11 | The Legend of the Bear Curse

Episode 11 | The Legend of the Bear Curse

When it comes to AZ Black Bears, I am cursed! On almost every single hunt, something crazy, unexpected, and completely outside my control happens to derail the hunt. It’s become consistent enough over the years that I’m starting to rethink my typical stance on superstitions. In this episode, I run through six different bear hunts that all resulted in a different disaster.

Episode 10 | Wild Boars and Deliverance in Hawaii

In this episode I’m joined by my brother-in-law, Zach Fleming, to hear one of the CRAZIEST hunting stories ever! When Zach called me from Hawaii and told me what he had just experienced, I knew I had to get him on the podcast immediately. A random meeting with a perfect stranger turned into a day of bushwhacking through the jungle following a pack of dogs on the hunt for wild boar.

Episode 9 | First Solo Backcountry Experience (Terrified in the Woods!)

Episode 9 | First Solo Backcountry Experience (Terrified in the Woods!)

This is technically not a hunting story, but it is an outdoors story, it involves animals, and it’s actually quite helpful for anyone considering solo and/or backcountry hunting. About 10 years ago, I put together some basic gear and set out on my first ever solo backpacking trip. I don’t know if I’ve ever been so scared in my life, but that trip also did something deep within me that has been undeniably transformational. My life and hunting style have changed in a hundred ways since then, but this trip started it all.

This is actually the story of my first big game harvest ever! Sighting issues with a new rifle led to a massive comedy of errors, several missed bucks, and a whole lot of unnecessary running around. Ultimately, I was able to harvest my first buck, but it was anything but the clean and professional sounding story I wish it was.
