EP 598: Ghost Bulls and Selective Hunting with Jason Matzinger

This week on the podcast, I am thrilled to be joined by the renowned hunter and documentary director, Jason Matzinger. Our conversation covers a wide array of fascinating topics, including his extraordinary career, thrilling elk hunting experiences, the world of documentaries, exciting adventures, and the art of Selective hunting.

Jason’s most memorable moment from last year was when he successfully took down a bull that may very well be the largest bull he’ll ever have the chance to hunt. The intriguing aspect of this story lies in the deep history he shared with the bull, a connection he only discovered once he returned home. Throughout our discussion, we explore the various levels of hunting, and Jason sheds light on how many hunters evolve into selective hunters, meticulously choosing to harvest the best bulls they can find.

Our conversation also delves into his latest film, “Selective,” and the fascinating journey that led to its creation. One highlight was Jason’s epic sheep hunt last year, culminating in a selective harvest of an older ram, an adventure that is sure to captivate listeners.

Jason’s career path is truly inspiring, as he departed from a secure position in a large, family-owned electrical company to wholeheartedly pursue his passion for filmmaking. Currently, he is embarking on the 14th season of his TV show, which has achieved massive success. We explore what lies ahead for Jason and how he plans to continue pushing boundaries and improving his craft.

Join us for an enthralling podcast episode filled with riveting stories, remarkable achievements, and insights into the mind of a talented hunter and filmmaker, Jason Matzinger.
