  • #73: HUNT RECAP OF UTAH EXTENDED ARCHERY DEER HUNT

    It's been quite a season of ups and downs and finally I sealed the deal on my 2023 Utah Deer during the extended hunt here on the Wasatch.

  • #72: CAN YOU BUY A USED BOW? [+ HUNT RECAP]

    Buying bowhunting gear is no joke. Ever feel overwhelmed with the cost? Recently I had a listener reach out named Tim who asked if buying a used bow is ok. In this episode I talk about what to consider when buying a used bow.


    Budget wise, buying used is great because of all the added costs that go along with a hunt. Be mindful and have a friend familiar with bows go with you when you buy it. If possible, meet at a range and get a chance to shoot the bow.


    Thanks for tuning into First Generation Bowhunter, where I share my journey of bowhunting to help you with yours.

  • #71: THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH IN BOWHUNTING

    Join me on episode 71 to here one of my all time most important phrases that I live by: There is no free lunch.

    In bowhunting, this is absolutely the case. You will work for every success you get. Your stack of failures will be cashed in one day. You've got to keep at it. Learn more about mindset on this episode especially if you're experiencing a lot of frustration and just want to sell your bow. Don't sell your bow.

    3 days after publishing my last episode, my dad passed away. He taught me this phrase ever since I was a kid. I've given this phrase a lot of thought lately and thought it'd be appropriate to tie in this invaluable mindset that my dad taught to me all these years and apply it to bowhunting.

    I hope you enjoy this episode.

    Ever find yourself day dreaming of bowhunting during a drive or while waiting for your shake at Sonic? Man.

I'll discuss a few thoughts on what to do with a tag in the pocket around prep, gear, and training. Really this is just an episode to celebrate that we as bowhunters, just really freaking love bowhunting.

  • #66: TALKIN FOOTWEAR AND SOCKS WITH GRADY FROM LOWA BOOTS

    I've been able to try out the Lowa Tibet GTX boot for the last few months and glad Grady could join me to talk their hunting boots. With 100 years in the industry (whoa!) Lowa continues to deliver stout footwear to the hunting world.


    Also, I'm a bit of a bargain shopper when it comes to socks. I admit it. After this chat with Grady from Lowa Boots, I thought I was going to get super amped on boots but I'm really interested in their socks! Upping my sock game will probably make my feet even more comfortable this season. Grady also shares his bowhunting experience as he just started flinging arrows a few years ago. Tune in for gear talk, inspiring stories, and hear me laugh from Seinfeld references.

Tune in to learn more about truly observing an area and why that's important to increase your bowhunting success.
