Beyond the Kill

As promised, after running out of time to get into some storytelling in Episode 121, we brought Nolan back to share some highlights from the 2018 guiding season.

What you'll hear in this episode is the story of Nolan's favorite hunt of the year and arguably the hunt of his lifetime. We'd bet his clients feel the same way.

With some gear and hunting tips mixed in for good measure, this episode has something for everyone.

On this episode, Adam is joined by Rick Elder of Beyond Clothing.

Yes, Rick runs Beyond out of their Seattle office, affectionately known as The Acropolis, but more than that, he is an incredibly interesting dude with a very interesting perspective on a variety of topics related to the outdoor and sporting goods industry.

Regardless of the outdoor pursuit you most passionately live for, this discussion with Rick is sure to get you thinking.

On this episode, Adam is joined by one of the most unique guests we've ever had on the show, polar explorer John Huston.

John was one half of a two-man team that made the first American unsupported, 100% human powered expedition to the North Pole in 2009.

It took them 55 days, covering 478 miles on skis, all while pulling sleds loaded with hundreds of pounds of gear. Let that sink in…still think late season hunting is hard?

Although not strictly about hunting, this one is chock full of insights and lessons for anyone looking to push their limits in the mountains, or frankly, in life.

Hunting Lessons from a Polar Explorer

On this episode, Adam is joined by his good friend, and colleague, Nolan who just returned from a season of guiding Stone's sheep, mountain caribou, Rocky Mountain goats, and moose.

Adam and Nolan discuss what it's like to spend 90 days straight in the high country of Northern BC, the enjoyment and frustration of working with horses, and some of the lessons Nolan took away from his 2018 season.

On this short but sweet episode, Adam rolls solo and discusses some new gear/equipment he put through its paces, an embarrassing "won't make that mistake again" lesson, and one of his tried and true backcountry menu items after a recent BC moose hunt.

On this show, Adam is joined by Dustin Diefenderfer of MTNTOUGH Fitness Lab in Bozeman, Montana.

It's the time of year when cold weather and tough conditions are the norm. But, it's also one of the best times of year to cut a tag. If you can hack it.

This episode will help you thrive when many hunters would rather hang up their boots.

On this show, Adam and Bryan Martin of Asian Mountain Outfitters, pick up where they left off in Part 1.

If you've never experienced a double-header rodeo, this one's worth every minute and chock-full of shooting tips.

We've been tight-lipped about what exactly happened on this hunt, but we disclose some solid details here in Part 2. Spoiler alert…ibex meat tastes great!

On this show, Adam is joined by Bryan Martin of Asian Mountain Outfitters.

Adam and Bryan dig deep into the JOMH crew's experience in TJ and cover a ton of material in this conversation.

In fact, they covered so many topics, we decided to chop it into two parts.

If you've been waiting for more details on how the hunt unfolded, you're going to want to listen to these two episodes.

On this show Adam is joined by his good friend and past guest Bert Sorin, the president of Sorinex Exercise Equipment.

Bert is a husband, father, former hammer thrower and Scottish Highland Games athlete, and a deeply passionate outdoorsman. He's also one of the more insightful and genuine men you'll ever meet.

Adam and Bert cover a wide (and deep) array of topics in this one…Eastern vs Western hunting, childhood hunting stories, exposing kids to the outdoors, and of course training and training philosophies.

Regardless of whether you have any interest in Himalayan tahr hunting, this issue is about far more than tahr or even NZ politics.

The lines have been drawn and our will to fight is being put to the test.

Politically and emotionally driven wildlife management has become the norm and not the exception. In recent months, we have seen examples of this in British Columbia, the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, New Jersey and now New Zealand, to name just a few.

This is a global issue that requires our full attention.
