#090 - My brother Bryce came on the show today to talk about a big buck that he was able to take with his rifle. We talk about rifle setups, being confident in your equipment, and what it means to "earn" an animal. It's a great conversation, enjoy!

#088 - Should you backpack hunt or hunt from a basecamp? There are a lot of things to consider, and you may want to think about a few things before you make a decision. You can also have the best of both worlds with a combination of ideas.

#087 - Calling in an elk by yourself can be tricky, but it's possible! This wasn't completely a solo elk hunt, but it kind of was. I was able to call in a bull and succeed at harvesting it solo. There are a lot of lessons that were put to good use with this hunt so definitely listen in.

Huge shout out to the Elk Nut App and Paul Medel!

#086 - You'll see why Ross's buck was named "Tracker" after this episode. Ross tells the story of how he came to shoot a buck at last light on the last day of season with a less-than-ideal shot. There are a ton of valuable lessons from this episode.

#085 - Hunters face unique challenges and obstacles when hunting in crowded public land areas. Game tends to be scarce in public land, it gets moved around a lot. Not just by hunters during season, but by hikers, bikers, off-roaders, birders, backpackers, and other public land users. Keep in mind that most of the people will not be paying attention to noise, or scent, or whether they are skylined and can be seen easily by wildlife. It can be really frustrating when you're watching a group of deer, waiting for the right opportunity only for them to be spooked by a non-hunter.

#084 - This is part 2 of the archery series to help take you from target shooting to hunting success. Not all scenarios are going to be ideal, so as bowhunters we need to be prepared. We need to practice intentionally making shooting scenarios that are difficult so we are ready for real-life hunting scenarios.

We will also discuss target panic and how to overcome it.

These shirts will be available until the end of June 2023
