On this episode of Gritty Bowmen we hang out with our ginger friends, Land Tawney and Ty Stubblefield of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers. This was my first chance to meet Land and it was a pleasure. Land Tawney is the Executive Director Backcountry Hunters and Anglers or BHA. And through BHA, Land fights to keep public lands public. And in case you're wondering… Land is his real name--not his "show" name.

Ty Stubblefield is BHA Chapter Coordinator. Ty knows that hunters and fisherman are true conservationists and stewards of our lands. When Ty isn't fighting for conservation causes he can be found in the wild places he loves with bow or fly-pole in hand. BHA understands that our public lands are not free and must be fought for.

I'm proud to call these ginger dudes friends.

If you're not already, become a member of BHA today. And as a member, try to attend the annual BHA rendezvous this year, 2016, in Missoula, Montana on April first through the third. You can learn more about their annual shindig at rendezvous2016.com -- I hope to see you there.

EPISODE 80: On this episode of Gritty Bowmen, Aron Snyder and I hang out with Cameron Hanes and Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan is a podcaster, UFC commentator, stand-up comedian and HUNTER. Joe's podcast, the Joe Rogan Experience, is a powerhouse. Joe has been an avid hunter Since his first hunting trip with Steven Rinella on the MeatEater show, titled First Timers, Montona Mule Deer, which aired in April 2013. On his podcast, Rogan has interviewed such people as Jim Shockey, Steven Rinellla, Tim Burnett, Remi Warren, and more. Joe has a massive non-hunting audience that loves his show. And he's been able to use his platform to educate the non-hunting community about how hunting is conservation… about how hunting saves wildlife and wild places. He's a gifted interviewer, entertainer, and with the help of his good friend Cameron Hanes, I've no doubt he's become a skilled hunter as well… as long as he doesn't talk to much… so i've heard from Cameron.

I don't think Cameron needs an introduction to the Gritty Community… but here goes anyway for you new hunters or for those of you who live under a rock. Cameron Hanes is a bowhunting fool. And he trains year-round, always pushing his body to failure and beyond. He grew up "getting it done" on public land with elk and deer and bear… today, he continues to inspire both hunters and would-be hunters everyday.

In the middle of this podcast somehwere, we lost a camera angle for a couple minutes--like 10 minutes. Cameron is cut-off the screen… sorry Cam.

This is a fun podcast--you've got Joe Rogan, Cameron Hanes, and Aron Snyder, all on the show. It was good time.

EPISODE 79: On this episode of Gritty Bowmen, Aron Snyder and I hang out with Cameron Hanes at the ATA show in Kentucky. Prior to this event, I had never met Cameron Hanes. I've read his books. I've watched his blacktail films and some of his hunts with Eastmans. I've seen him and South Cox chase high country mule deer. I've seen him hunt giant brown bear with dear friend, Roy Roth. I've watched Cameron stalk cape buffalo in Australia and on and on. And of course, I've seen Cameron's social media game, which is pretty strong. But I've never met the guy. You hear and see things… And I can't help but admire his drive and passion for fitness… and his love of the outdoors and of the bowhunting life… but I had never actually sat down and talked to him. And much like my first meeting with Aron Snyder… I found Cameron to be a super cool dude. Easy to talk to. Genuine. And funny. Much like my own hunting buddies.

I was able to hit the local Crossfit gym in Kentucky with Cameron thanks to our mutual friend, Dan Staton, owner of Elk Shape. Dan lead a room full of hunters from the ATA show in a great team workout. Cameron was in his element. He loves fitness. And It was obvious. After the workout, Cameron took a group of us out to breakfast and there we laughed and swapped hunting stories and I couldn't help... but think how it felt just like elk camp with my own buddies. At the end, he paid the bill. And I walked away from the experience thinking, I just like hunters. They're cool people. And there is an instant brotherhood among us as long as we are able to keep our massive egos in check and be positive.

On this episode of Gritty Bowmen we visit with hunting film producer, Jason Matzinger. I first discovered Jason's films through the Full Draw Film Tour. And I've followed his work ever since. Jason's films make you think. They tell a story and they're sincere and heartfelt. Jason is deeply involved in conservation efforts, teaming up with organizations such as the Mule Deer Foundation and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. Jason is a talented filmmaker and skilled hunter. I look forward to what he does next.

On this episode of Gritty Bowmen we visit with Easton Corbin and Brandon Bates. These two guys were on a roll and had me laughing for a solid 25 minutes before I looked down and realized the record button had not been pushed on my recording device. we hadn't captured any of the audio. I hope to get these two characters on a future show because they're down-right fun. This episode is very short--just a few minutes with some cool dudes that'll make you smile.

Some of you may recognize Brandon Bates as the host of the award winning show, RMEF Team Elk. Others may recognize him as the voice of the Professional Bull Riders or PBR, which he's done for more than a decade.

And for those who don't know, Easton Corbin is an American country music singer. AND a hunter. AND a cool dude. I hope to cross paths with these two fellas again someday.
