#015 - I wounded an animal a few years back and I learned some valuable lessons that I want to share.

Here's the link to the video of me following the blood trail: www.huntthewest.us/15 

You can barely hear my commentary, but I couldn't believe it was still alive when I got to it. You hear my disbelief at the end of the video. It still makes me sick to my stomach thinking about how that deer was suffering. 

I hope we can all take a lesson or two from this experience and make ethical shots so animals don't have to suffer unneccessarily.

Thanks for listening!

#012 - Sidney Smith is a double-amputee that completed an Ironman. If anyone understands how to overcome challenges and have mental toughness, it's Sid. Sid is such a humble guy and had me super motivated by the end of this conversation and I know it will do the same for you. If this doesn't inspire you to get out and hunt, I don't know what will.

#011 - Simplify your outdoor experience with a Canvas Cutter bedroll. Seth Larsen, one of the founders of the company, reveals how the company got started and how it changes the game for hunting. Definitely check these guys out, they are doing some awesome stuff. I bought a Dominator bedroll well before the podcast was even a thing and reached out to them to come on the podcast. They were kind enough to hook listeners of Hunt the West with a discount code. That code helps out the show, and it will save you some money. Everyone wins!

https://www.canvascutter.com code "HTW" for 15% off of a bedroll

I recommend getting the "bundle" with the included foam and pole system.
