Moose Hunt Podcast

Episode 28 is short but very special for our host. 

Chris Richards sits down for a conversation with his two daughters, Kennedy (8) and Ella (6). The girls and their father share a couple of funny memories from their trips together scouting in the north Maine woods prior to a couple different remote camp family moose hunting trips over the years. 

While not as informational or educational as our regular episodes the cuteness and "smile factor" of this is WAY off the charts. Tune in for a few minutes of moose stories that are likely to bring a smile to your face and warm your heart.

Episode 27 is a discussion based on a request from one of our wonderful supporters and listeners, tips for hunters with a cow tag. While we are passionate about the pursuit of mature bulls, we also guide numerous people every year in the pursuit of cow moose as well. Cow hunts are certainly different and the tips in this episode will help you be successful. 

The crew in this episode, host Chris Richards, Nathan Theriault and "Wild Bill" (Chris's father) also discuss their thoughts on Maine's adaptive unit moose hunt research project. Bill and Chris also share that Darlene (our host's mother) pulled a zone 4A North adaptive moose hunt permit for the upcoming 2023 season and they are excitement by the challenge and opportunity to participate in this wildlife management project through participation in the hunt.

In episode 26 of the Moose Hunt Podcast host Chris Richards sits down for in depth conversations with many members of the team. In this special 2 hour episode our entire focus is on celebrating the life of our dear friend and mentor Guy Randlett. 

Guy passed away July 5, 2023 just six weeks before the annual OMM Outfitters guide training, where this episode was ultimately recorded.

This conversation focuses on our dear friend, discussing him in a way he would want- and that is through openly discussing God and our faith. One thing is for certain: the love Guy had for moose hunting was nothing compared to the love he had for Jesus. 

We want to dedicate this episode to Diane and the rest of Guy's family.  We send them all the love and prayers imaginable.

We hope that all our listeners out there enjoy hearing stories about this incredible man, what made him so special and also hope you learn a little bit more about our faith along the way.

Enjoy.
