Beards, Bands, and Antlers Oh My! - Hunting Wild Game
Hunting has almost become more sport than true survival, but it hasn’t lost its luster regardless of the reason. Every year over 15.2 million people climb into a blind, stand, or just the brush to try and take home a prize.
In this episode Brian and Daniel discuss a little bit of everything about hunting wild game. From their favorite camo to funny first timer stories, this episode promises to deliver!
When did you start hunting wild game?
- Brian:
- 2012 deer season
- Froze in 10 degree weather without enough gear
- First kill was a doe with a heart shot that eliminated the top of her heart and all arteries
- First buck kill was the 2021 season. Biggest buck on the ranch.
- Daniel:
- Earliest recollection is deer hunting with my Dad. I couldn’t keep my “propellers” from spinning (long sleeves of dad’s coat I was wearing)
- Shot a dam once because I was too cold to stay there
- First attempt at bow hunting was 68 yd miss on a monster buck!
What seasons do you hunt wild game, and what gear do you use?
- Brian:
- Brian only hunts deer, and he hunts in bow and rifle seasons
- He shoots a Hoyt RX3 bow with custom FOC arrows (prepping for elk hunting days)
- He also uses a 6.5 Creedmoor during rifle season, a black friday special from Bass Pro/Cabela’s
- Daniel
- I hunt many forms of wild game, to include deer, ducks, and turkey
- I hunt every deer season available
- I use my Tikka T3X CTR in 6.5 Creedmoor during rifle season, a Thompon Center break over during muzzleloader, and a Hoyt Ventum 30 during bow
- For a shotgun I have a Berreta A400 Xtreme Plus
Let’s talk about camo!
- Brian uses mainly Kuiu, but got there via Bass Pro’s Red Head gear.
- Brian prefers his thinner camo during bow season
- I use a mixture of Sitka, Under Armour, and First Lite camo in many many layers.
- I essentially have a matching kit for each part of the season.
- I wear whatever the weather dictates, regardless of the weapon in my hands
Future hunting plans?
- Brian wants to bow hunt an elk, and prioritizes that over any waterfowl hunts
- I want to start public land bow hunting in a saddle stand
- Turkey hunting may be on the list for this spring (I think we’re 1 day away)
- An elk hunt of any weapon type would be my largest goal!
