  • #15 - How I Found My Elk Hunting Guide
    Using a guide or outfitter can seriously expedite your path to success and learning when it comes to Western hunting. But if done wrong, can lead to a disappointing hunt and a lot of wasted money.
    On this episode of the EndurHunt podcast, Andrew breaks down the 7 steps he used to research outfitters for his Late Rifle Elk hunt in Arizona last year. This episode breaks down how to use these steps, signs to look out for, and then Andrew breaks down what about his outfitter of choice he liked for each step in the process.
    This is a great episode if you've ever thought that maybe you want to use an outfitter and don't know where to get started.

  • #14 - Social Media and the Comparison Trap

    The only person you should be comparing yourself to is who you were yesterday. With hunting seasons kicking off across the country, our social media feeds are going to begin filling up with grip and grins. With the anticipation and excitement this brings for those of us who have yet to hunt this season, it can also bring some frustrations and sadness.

    In this episode, Andrew talks about social media and how it can negatively impact our self-image. Especially when you are starting out on your hunting journey seeing the successes of others can make you feel like you'll never get to where some of the greats are. By the end of this episode hopefully you are reassured that you are not alone and that it is okay to feel this way sometimes. The key is to never give up. You can't lose if you never quit.

        • Scouting
        • And so much more!

        • #11 - Mountain Fit in Texas

          In this episode of the EndurHunt podcast, Andrew goes over what it is like getting ready for a Western mountain hunt when living in flat terrain and close to sea level. Topics discussed include:

          • The importance of both physical and mental preparation for any backcountry hunt
          • Why you should care about being prepared
          • Guidelines for getting ready for the hunt

            • Andrew takes physical and mental fitness very seriously and practices year-round for longevity and vitality. It can be difficult to get yourself to train year-round just for hunting, so you sometimes need to be creative with how you structure your fitness plan. Andrew also discusses how 75 Hard/Live Hard is the best tool for building mental toughness and resilience. Andrew ends by sharing his personal fitness routine.


            Hopefully, this serves as a good starting point for someone who doesn't know what to consider or where to begin.

            • #8 - Back to the Beginning with Piotr Krupinski

              On this episode of the EndurHunt podcast, Andrew is joined by long-time friend and hunting partner Piotr Krupinski. This is the first of many podcasts where Piotr will be a guest, this one is special though because they go over that first hunt in Montana. Going back to 2018 and trying to recount everything that went into the hunt with selecting Montana, how and why Piotr asked Andrew to join him, hunt planning, preparation, and a breakdown of the hunt itself. They close with lessons learned and a brief discussion on this year's upcoming mule deer hunt where they both return to Montana!


              Piotr does not have social media so unfortunately, there are no links to share for you to connect with him, but please listen along anyway as this is a good episode. This was our first time recording with a guest so hopefully, it comes out and ones in the future will be better. Please let us know what you think!
