EP 501: The Lost Cowboy Jake Zielke

Today I am joined by a cowboy who has traveled the world. Jake Zeilke has cowboy’d on 6 of 7 contents! This podcast turned out so good. I knew I wanted to talk about taking a leap into doing what you love, but I had no idea how great this conversation would be. Jake has some freaking amazing stories from rounding up wild bulls in the bush in Australia to cowboying off reindeer on the Step in Mongolia. This podcast has some epic stories and life advice. Jake has endured some incredible highs and lows in his dream of traveling the world with only his skills as a cowboy.

This podcast brought to you by our good friends at On X Maps. Not only is On X a must have for western big game hunting and a must have for me when it comes to scouting, but On X has launched some really cool features this year that are going to help you out tremendously. On X is my go-to fore e-scouting I love the fact that I can go through my e-scout routine on my computer finding primary areas, secondary areas, routes, and mark everything from glassing locations to feed areas, water, you name it. The best part is that all of that homework I do this time of year is automatically in my phone when I start scouting or even hunting. On X recently launched 3d which gives you the ability to really look at your are without so much bouncing back and forth with google earth. This gives me the ability to more accurately determine glassing points travel routes, and so many terrain features you just can’t see in topo. Check out some of these cool new features from On X and give them a try, it just might make you a more successful hunter. Use the TRO code when you renew your membership and save 20%.
