Season 2 - Episode 2 | Archery Coues Deer Hunt

Season 2 - Episode 2 | Archery Coues Deer Hunt

In this episode, I talk with Jake Bartlett from Pennsylvania about a series of family hunts for deer and turkeys with his family. But, while we’re having that conversation, we also get into some real talk about tragedy, loss, and how we (especially as men) often don’t handle it so well. It’s a heavier episode, but a great conversation that all of us should be open to having.

Episode 25 | Massive Bull Elk at 10 Years Old

In this episode, I talk with Caleb Gotthardt (also on Episode 15) about his first bull elk ever. He was 10, he almost lost hope, and his parents coaxed him into the field with snacks to put him on this giant bull. It’s a terrific story that I know I as a parent really resonated with!

Episode 24 | A Real 200" Kansas Whitetail

This year I went back to the same general area I tried in 2019 to get some redemption on Colorado archery elk. My buddy Josh (@dialedinhunter) tagged along for the first part to finish out his high country mule deer tag. We camped higher, saw more action, and put in more physical hours of hunting than we did the previous year. Tons of great lessons learned and memories made!

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 12 | First-Time Hunter

Episode 12 | First-Time Hunter

As you may know, I am an adult-onset hunter. My first exposure to hunting came when I married into a hunting family, and my father-in-law gifted me an archery elk tag for Christmas. I knew absolutely nothing about what I needed to do or what to expect, but it’s an experience that has literally changed my life all these years later.

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.

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.
