Beyond the Kill

On this episode, repeat guest Ryan Holm is back on the show to discuss how Leica is taking their already impressive legacy in the optics realm to a whole new level.

The conversation also touches on many aspects of the "buy once, cry once" mindset and how to navigate purchase decisions and avoid falling for the constant hype cycle in today's marketing landscape.

On this episode, Matt Gagnon shares the powerful capabilities of dogs trained for blood tracking and recovery of big game. Matt and his colleagues across the US are deeply passionate dog owners and practitioners of a skillset that, when needed and leveraged, can literally save a hunt from the most unfortunate of outcomes...a hit but unrecovered animal.

Matt's love and passion for his Malinois and her capabilities is the ultimate example of the deep bonds and history between humans, dogs and hunting.

Elk season is here and with that in mind, we're bringing you an elk-focused episode from a few years ago with Dylan Eyers of EatWild.

Dylan has decades of experience chasing elk in BC and shares his insights and hard lessons learned from hunting these incredible critters. Due to this being originally recorded in 2021 some references will be dated but, the lessons and tips from Dylan are timeless.

On this episode, John Warren shares the lessons learned and insights gained from his recent trip to Molokai to hunt Axis deer.

As a former sniper, John draws heavily on his military experience to find creative ways to build stable shooting positions and make shots that many hunters would have to pass on due to a lack of creativity and/or exposure to non-traditional shooting positions.
