Fall Obsession Podcast

Building a new generations of hunters and outdoors men and women begins with mentorship and getting someone else outdoors. That is exactly the mission of Courtney Prete and the team at Her Outdoor Journey! As a founder of HOJ and a host of the Soul Summit Podcast, Courtney strives to bridge the gap for women and families in the outdoors through unparalleled experiences that educate, empower, and build community. She joins us for an episode to talk about the incredible things they are doing at HOJ, the hard work and dedication to get to this point, the highs and lows of being a podcast host, personal growth through the process, and of course we cannot leave without also talking hunting. This is an inspirational episode with an outlook on a team and a mission that is doing influential things!

Hunting season is here, and the Fall Obsession team has hit the ground running! We look forward to bringing some "in-house" episodes to you in the coming weeks; highlighting some of our Staff's hunts and experiences from the 2024 whitetail season. There is no better place to start than with the man who keeps the Fall Obsession Staffer program running smoothly; our Staff Manager Todd Sellon! Todd spends a lot of time managing and hunting his home farm in Michigan, and this year the hard work has already been paying off. Todd had the opportunity to punch some tags early this year, and joins us to discuss his own hunting strategies and tactics, some key gear and scouting tools he uses, and much more! This is a great podcast for all blue collar hunters with a fellow outdoorsman who embraces and capitalizes on the same opportunities we all face from season to season.

This week we are joined by East Coast Trev, a founder and co-host of The Outdoor Drive Podcast! Trev is as down to earth as they come, and he and Sam dive right in for a wholesome conversation about authenticity, intentionality and relationships in the outdoor podcast world. Both share what some may call a more vulnerable side of their shows and experiences, and definitely give listeners a peek behind the curtain to a side of outdoor podcasts many don't see or realize. The guys talk whitetails, hunting season, big bucks, and the moments that truly matter looking back on previous seasons. We have certainly enjoyed these recent collaborations with Trev and Steve from The Outdoor Drive, and look forward to many more! One things for sure, what you see (or hear) is what you get and these episodes will make you feel like you're having a conversation in hunting camp with these guys!

Having returned from the mountains of Central Idaho, Sam sits down to spend some time reflecting on one of his most incredible, epic and intense hunting trips to date. Invited to join friends Galen, Chris and Ben for the 2024 season, the crew took their horseback pack trip 25 miles into the backcountry searching for elk in untouched country. Last week in episode 208 the four men shared the story with us from around the fire in Elk Camp. This week Sam dives into greater details throughout the trip; talking specifics about the hunt and the experience, including the mental and physical challenges he was not entirely prepared for. He also shares the story of their adventure getting off the mountain, and how the crew was awake for over 24 hours on the last day in an effort to overcome some risky challenges and make it home safely. The Steep and Deep country is both beautiful and brutal.

This episode takes us deep into the mountains of Central Idaho with show host Sam, and friends Galen, Chris and Ben. Earlier in 2024 this crew packed in 25 miles on horseback for what would turn out to be an epic and extreme backcountry experience! Challenged by difficult access and extreme terrain, this crew overcame many challenges during a week in the "steep and deep" country. This podcast comes directly from Elk Camp, recorded around the fire on the last evening in the mountains. The men reflect on the week, the highs and the lows, their appreciation for the pack animals, and above all the highlight of the trip when they called in a bull on day 5, playing him into archery range and the successful moments that followed! This is an experience these men will never forget, and we are happy to have you all join them!

With November quickly approaching, all eyes are on Colorado and Proposition 127 which would prohibit the hunting of Mountain Lions, Bobcats and Lynx in the State. Anti-hunting extremists have pushed their way to the ballot box in one of hunting's most desirable States in an effort to suppress hunting through the uneducated voter. This "Ballot Box Biology" is devastating to any Fish and Game Department, and to hunters and any outdoors men and women who are actually educated in and responsible for carrying out proper wildlife management efforts. Many wildlife and conservation organizations have been diligently fighting this fight, with C.R.W.M. and Dan Gates leading the charge. Dan joins us for this episode to share the many issues that Proposition 127 holds, the long term detrimental impact it would have if passed, why cat hunting is a good thing, and much more. This is the line in the sand between hunters and the anti's, and a Proposition like this passing could cause a domino effect to other game species or other States. Even if you are not from Colorado, every hunter should be paying attention to this. Listen to this episode, share it with anyone you know in Colorado, and help educate others on why they should vote NO on Proposition 127.
