My guest this week travelled all over the world to work as a cowboy. In fact, he worked on all six continents where the job is done. Meet The Lost Cowboy, Mr J.B. Zielke. From surviving cartel gunfights in Mexico to finding nomadic reindeer herders in Mongolia, to mustering wild cattle in Northern Australia with motorcycles and helicopters, he has had some wild experiences. If you enjoy this episode, share it with a friend, and leave us a review wherever you listened to this episode.

I love long range shooting and close range hunting, but let’s say something went wrong and a critter is wounded and the only chance you are going to get is across a canyon at 1,000 yards— can you make that shot? I got invited to attend the first class of the Salmon River Shooting School and this show was recorded after the school was done. We talk about the ethics and reality of long range hunting as well as some stories about how Cameron gets after it on his backcountry mountain hunts where he regularly spends 3-4 weeks alone without coming out.

Half a million years ago an early human in Java engraved a zigzag pattern into a shell, and ever since then engraving has been a lasting form of art. Amy Raymond is famous for engraving silver in a western style. We sat down to discuss her art, gun engraving, and many other subjects in this fun episode. Amy has a great sense of humor and is renowned not only for her art but also as a teacher. I’m pretty sure most of us own something that’s engraved in one way or another. Here’s your chance to learn about it. Check out her art here.

Building a small business is hard. Take a few minutes to listen to the folks at Sound Off Suppression talk about suppressors and the crazy dynamics of reducing the sound of supersonic gases from a rifle and the challenges of starting a suppressor company.

Steve Bartkowski could’ve played baseball, basketball or football at damn near any university in the country and chose football. He’d go on to be the number 1 draft pick and a hall of fame quarterback. We talk about what professional football was like in the 1970’s and how he started one of the first hunting shows on television. Pretty cool story from an American legend.

I’ve been a fan of Paul Cauthen’s music since I first heard it, and later learned that him and my little sister were buddies when they lived in Austin. Finally got the chance to sit down with Paul backstage before one of his concerts and talk about stories from his youth where he worked a chain gang in jail, the inspiration for his genre defying music, and his love for hunting and food. Here’s a great chance for you to learn about the man behind the music like you’ve never heard before.

Anna studies 6 languages. Has four degrees. Has lived in at least three countries. And for a living, she slaughters animals and butchers their meat for people to eat. I deeply enjoyed our conversation where we discussed life, death, knives, quantum theory and more than a little bit of nonsense. Anna Borgman is a rare individual. Give her a follow on instagram and leave us a review with your thoughts on this episode. It’s a dandy.

Archery is a mental game. Get good equipment that is well setup from a pro shop, develop the skills to use it and then the hard work begins of simply executing the same shot every time. In this episode we get into the mental side of archery. John Appleton is a veteran and archery pro shop owner who has been nationally ranked in multiple disciplines of target shooting. I encourage archery hunters to listen to this episode so they can start developing skills now so they’ll be ready when that moment arrives this fall.
