Hunting Blacktails the Local Way with Jeff Lund of the On Step Podcast


Listen Later

In this special episode, Jaden sits down with Jeff Lund—Alaska teacher, seasoned blacktail hunter, and host of the On Step Podcast—for a deep dive into gear, strategy, and expectations for their upcoming DIY blacktail deer hunt in Southeast Alaska. They break down layering systems, managing moisture, alpine glassing techniques, and why hunting local-style is sometimes better than going big. Whether you're a first-time blacktail hunter or a seasoned mule deer guy looking to branch out, there's a ton of real-world insight packed into this one.

Give Jeff’s show, the On Step Podcast, a listen—especially if you enjoy thoughtful storytelling and raw, unfiltered talk from Alaska's public lands.
