Millennial Hunter Podcast

This is the second part of our essential hunting gear podcast. Here in part two we talk about things such as backpacking food, emergency kits, gear for solo hunting, GPS and tracking, and so much more. We also have a good time laughing about how ill-prepared we sometimes are when we go out hunting. We are all trying to be better prepared and hopefully you'll be able to find some nuggets of knowledge from this episode.

Every hunter needs to have trustworthy gear by his side for every hunt. Maybe you're a minimalist who relies are very little gear. Maybe you've so much gear you don't know what to do with it. No matter the case, your gear needs to last as long as you do on the mountain.

This episode is the first of a two part recording I did along with my new co-host, Ashton Edwards. We talk mostly about the absolute essentials in this episode. We also talk about some of our "comfort essentials" and even some of the non-essentials that mix people up sometimes. As always, there's a few stories mixed in there as well.

Millennial Hunter Podcast, Episode 6 with Taylor Murdock: Depending on the person, your fitness level might be either an advantage or a hindrance to you when out hunting. Many of you (if you're like me) are not exactly where you would like to be health-wise.  Now I'm not saying that any of us are pathetic, overweight chumps who should be living in a van down by the river. I'm just pointing out that our current physical state may not be exactly where we want it to be. HOWEVER, that does not mean that we are stuck where we are.

In this episode of the MH Podcast I sit down with Taylor Murdock (@murdcountry). When you think of your fitness goal, you probably imagine someone like Taylor; a lean, mean, hunting machine. Taylor spends on average 6 days a week in the gym preparing himself for his next hunt or in some cases his next triathlon. The guy is a savage in the gym! Taylor had 3 different mule deer tags this year and he filled all three! In this episode you will get to know how Taylor physically prepares for his hunts along with some gnarly stories from this past season. We also talk about things like bird dogs, dieting, and hunting with family. It was awesome talking to Taylor and I hope that we'll get him back on the podcast real soon.

What's up everyone!? I hope those of you who have been listening to the Millennial Hunter Podcast have enjoyed the first few episodes. I've received tons of support from so many of you and you have no idea how excited it makes me to hear such positive feedback. Thank you so much!

So I'm going to give everyone a fair heads up… This podcast is a little different from what the previous episodes have been covering. In this episode of Millennial Hunter we're going to talk about money, and specifically how to save and spend money. No matter who you are, you surely deal with money on a daily basis, but how many of you are actually budgeting your money? Or how many of you are putting money into a savings account every paycheck? Dr. Jeff Dew is an expert on finances and family life. Dr. Dew and I discuss several money saving strategies and budgeting tips that might just help you and your family (or anyone else who depends on you financially). This is a topic that I believe not many people understand well enough. I for one definitely didn't understand it like I should have before getting to know Dr. Dew. I hope that after listening to this podcast, you can learn a little about how to budget your money and how to make the most out of what you have. Hope you all enjoy this episode!

Ashton Edwards is one of the most stand-up guys I know. Apart from being a husband, father, grad student and developing businessman, he also is a self-taught, DIY solo hunter that knows how to get it done out in the field. I feel that we as hunters all need to take upon ourselves the responsibility to be strong ambassadors for the sport, showing those around us that we respect the animals we harvest and also that we show the world all the numerous benefits of hunting. Ashton is a prime example of a true hunting ambassador.

Welcome to the Millennial Hunter Podcast! In this episode of Millennial Hunter I sit down with the one and only Sawyer Peacock. Many of you probably know of Sawyer through his work as an outdoor photographer, or through his Sheds for Santa project, or maybe just through his social media pages. Whatever Sawyer does, he excels at it. He's a man of many hats and is an amazing guy who treats you right no matter who you are. In this episode we talk about Sawyer's rare opportunity to go on his dream hunt of a lifetime and how amazing his experience was with that. We also talk a little bit about being part of the hunting industry and how some of the best people are hunters. Towards the end of the podcast we talk a bit about Sawyer's Sheds For Santa project, which by the way is an incredible idea and I strongly suggest looking up the Sheds For Santa website to find a way to get involved. Sawyer even leaks out what his next big adventure is, and it's one that may surprise you. This podcast was tons of fun to make! Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did. So without further ado, let's get started!

Welcome everyone to the Millennial Hunter Podcast! In this episode of the Millennial Hunter I sit down with one of my long-time friends, Randon Prochnow. Randon is the definition of what America's "Golden Boy" should be like. He is currently working full-time for Browning Arms at Browning Headquarters in Morgan, Utah, he is also going to school full-time at Weber State University, AND he's in the National Guard. But the best thing about him is that he's just a down-to-earth, humble guy who's trying to make ends meet for him and his young family. In this episode we're going to talk about what it's like working for Browning and how he's able to manage it while also going to school full-time. We also talk a bit about the Grand American Trapshoot which Randon just returned from as one of Browning's ambassadors for the event. We then wrap up the podcast by talking a little bit about the millennial generation and how it is not OK to follow the stigma of being "lazy, entitled punks" that so much of our generation fits in. Oh, we also talk a little about some hunting, obviously. So kick back, relax, and enjoy!

This is the first episode of the Millennial Hunter Podcast! It's been a long time working on this project, but the hard work has all been worth it. Before I start putting out podcasts filled with hunting stories, hunting tips and tactics, other hunting industry topics, I wanted to do a quick introduction podcast to explain a little what the MH Podcast is all about. In this podcast I'll talk a little bit about what to expect from the podcast, how Millennial Hunter came to be, a little bit about me and my background in hunting, and a few other things regarding the general info of the podcast. Hope you all enjoy!
