Millennial Hunter Podcast

Spoiler alert: I got it done! Here's the full story on how I tagged out on my Utah General Archery deer tag in 2019.

The guys from Sahn Outdoors are some of the most down-to-earth, fun, and chill guys I think I've ever met. They love the outdoors and live every day with the #sahnliving mindset. Apart from having a huge Instagram following, Sahn Outdoors runs a killer podcast and has a great YouTube channel. 

In this episode we talk about several different topics and dive down a load of rabbit holes, but it was one of the funnest episodes I've recorded. The Sahn Outdoors guys talk a lot about being real and genuine, traits that I believe are crucial for true success and happiness. If you listen to their podcast or watch their YouTube videos or view their Instagram feed, you'll easily see that the Sahn Outdoors crew strives day in and day out to produce raw, real, authentic content that is downright fun and entertaining!

This episode of Millennial Hunter is a little more laid back. Ashton and I discuss hunting trends and crazes that are taking over the hunting industry. From flat brim hats to the future of hunting itself, we let loose on what we think the future holds for these hot topics. Some of these hot topics we discuss include hunting merch, Instagram hunters, curved vs. flat brim hats, hunting YouTube vs. hunting TV, popular hunting books, technology use while hunting, and much much more.

Ed Woolstenhulme is the face behind the iconic brand, Muley Tines. What started as a simple desire to post pictures of big mule deer quickly turned into a huge profile of thousands of followers all over the country. Ed is a savvy businessman who is always thinking of entrepreneurial ideas. One of his most recent endeavors is his mineral lick Rack Snacks (formerly know as Awesome Sauce). Apart from all that, Ed is also a hunting guide for his family's guiding service in northern Utah. Ed is just a jack of all trades who knows how to kill big mule deer.

Scott Mackintosh is one of the best guys I know. He's also one of the best hunter's I know too. Despite being extremely lucky drawing hunting expo tags, Scott is a devout defender of hunting and what it means. It goes much more beyond just killing an animal or providing for one's family. In this podcast Scott and I discuss why hunting is so important in today's society and how much hunting means to Scott, himself.

The 2018 hunting season was a roller coaster of ups and downs. In this podcast Ashton and I cover all of our hunting adventures from this year's hunts. We cover Idaho deer hunting, Utah archery hunting, mule deer in the rut, finding elk honey holes, and hunting in your tennis shoes. Hope you enjoy!

The American Buffalo is one of the most iconic and majestic creatures found in North America. Very few get the opportunity to hunt such an amazing animal. Blake VanTussenbrook was one of those lucky few. In this episode of the Millennial Hunter Podcast, Blake tells us what it was like to hunt these amazing animals and do so with a bow in hand. Blake also talks about hunting abroad, learning life lessons through hunting, and Badlands where Blake is currently working as their marketing director. Blake and I discuss camo patterns and all that has gone in to creating Badlands' signature camo, Approach, and the newly released Approach FX. In the past, I've been known to say that camo isn't that important when it comes to hunting gear. However, after talking with Blake, I realized that it plays a bigger role than I previously thought. The testing and field study that went into the Approach pattern was incredible and much more extensive than I would have guessed. As you listen to the podcast, ask yourself if your camo is "giving you the edge", as Blake puts it. I, for one, need as much of an edge as I can get.

Have you ever had a time when the stars are perfectly aligned, and despite all odds you find wonderful success. Well, That's exactly what happened in Cory Heward's 2018 limited entry archery elk hunt here in Utah. I don't want to ruin any of the story, but I guarantee it's a story you're not going to want to miss. Cory is also the founder and creator of the Moose Bag bladder pouch. Cory has been kind enough to offer the Millennial Hunter followers a 15% discount to purchase your own Moose Bag. To get your own Moose Bag, follow this link (or find Moose Bag on Amazon) and use code "Millennial18".

There are key, fundamental lessons every hunter needs to learn. Every time you go out hunting, you probably learn something new. In this episode of Millennial Hunter we talk about just a few very important lessons that we have learned in our recent hunting adventures.

My wonderful wife Jane is not a hunter. She didn't grow up hunting nor has she ever thought much about wildlife conservation. In this episode Jane and I talk about how she has gained a new perspective on hunting and conservation since we've been married. She was able to join me for my recent archery deer hunt and learned quite a bit just from that one hunt. In the podcast we talk about how she used to perceive hunting compared to how she perceives it now. We also talk about hunting with your spouse, hunting bonds within families, enjoying nature, and much more.
