Lethal Projectiles with Leland Brown
2w ago01:24:36Tap to summarizeShove the marketing aside. This is a discussion with Leland Brown, a scientist who has been conducting a study on which projectiles provide the quickest kills. The results changed my mind about which ammunition I select to hunt with.
Transcribe →Trail Cameras 401
3w ago01:19:58Tap to summarizeI flew to Montana to spend time with Gregg Farrell from Tactacam to talk about how professionals employ trail cameras, elite tactics for whitetail and elk hunting, and the ethics of trail camera technology. Hang in there for a deep discussion on the new Reveal 4.0 that is launching today.
Transcribe →WWII Veteran Sergeant Robert Bennett.
4w ago00:29:10Tap to summarizeBob Bennett just turned 103. He is one of the last living veterans of WWII. He’s still driving a pickup around the mountains of eastern Oregon. Here’s a bit of his story. Incredible guy.
Transcribe →Tribal Traditions and Natural Resource Management
Jul 201:20:57Tap to summarizeAustin Smith is a USMC veteran and is an enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. He is the natural and cultural resources manager of the 640,000 acre Warm Springs Indian Reservation. In this episode we talk about tribal warrior culture and history, the treaty hunting rights of tribal members, and the natural resources and wildlife management strategies and challenges on and off the reservation. I learned a lot during this fascinating conversation— you’ve never heard a podcast like this one before.
Transcribe →Cowboying Stories with Mark Lundy
Jun 1801:03:33Tap to summarizeIt’s 3:30 in the morning, you clamber out of your bedroll, pull on cold cowboy boots and amble over to the chuck wagon where whisps of steam curl off biscuits in a Dutch oven. You wash it down with a cup of coffee then saddle your horse and ride out with the rest of the cowboys in the dark— three or four hours later as the sun crests the ridge you find the cattle, gather them up, sort off the calves and start branding. But this isn’t the 1800’s, it’s right now. That’s the type of cowboying Mark Lundy has done all over the west. In this episode we talk about the history, present, and future of cowboying and range management. And, as per usual, I dedicated a bit of time to ridiculing the ongoing buckaroo fashion show and those who participate. Keep those flat brims, pastel wild rags, silver studded chaps and just-rope-it attitudes the hell out of the north, thanks.
Transcribe →The River Pig Episode
Jun 1100:53:02Tap to summarizeThis episode is recorded with Ramzy Hattar, a first generation American who has become a successful entrepreneur across multiple industries, states and countries. His next venture is creating a spearfishing charter in Mexico, which is where I travelled to record this episode. Ramzy has lived 10 lifetimes already and his sense of adventure and determinism have become a great source of inspiration for me.
Transcribe →The Preference Point Debate
Jun 401:00:42Tap to summarizeThe lottery systems that hunters have been forced into participating in are complex and difficult to understand. The question I ask is whether we should buy into the hype or not. Here to offer a different perspective is JR Dabey from HuntSource. Enjoy!
Transcribe →The Panama Adventure with Tony Dooley
May 2801:15:09Tap to summarizeWhile sailing back to land at the end of a two week spearfishing expedition, Tony Dooley and I sat down to record this episode detailing the strange and wonderful experience we’d just had in this incredible country. Tony absolutely roasts me in this one too, so hang in there for that.
Transcribe →Sailing and Spearfishing stories in Panama
May 2100:44:15Tap to summarizeJuan grew up in Venezuela and after the political turmoil in his country where he was held at gunpoint multiple times he left and has since taken up work running an old steel sailboat for expeditions of many kinds around Central America. In this episode we discuss the science that’s being conducted on the reef through his boat, sailing stories, and what it means to live on the sea. Check out more of what he does by searching gents de mar.
Transcribe →How to plan a hunt with Rucklist, (full episode)
May 1401:19:11Tap to summarizeThis episode was previously uploaded in an incomplete format which is my fault and you have my apologies. It’s a good episode and worth the full listen if you are interested in the logistics and planning considerations of doing an out of state hunt. In particular we are talking about an Alaskan moose hunt but the lessons can be applied in many places.
