Nada Grande Outdoors Podcast

Wont let us leave the house to record a podcast, fine, we'll just go live. 

Kyle and I often preach that we do not stand together enough as a hunting collective. Too often people get selfish and forget that there are many different interests at stake. Public land hunters, private land hunters, residents and non residents. This week we sat down with one of the oft forgotten and  if not forgotten, complained about members of our hunting community, Guides and Outfitters. We had a great guest this week, Kerrie Cox Romero, Executive Director of New Mexico Council of Outfitters and Guides. We had a great discussion about several hunting topics including lots of information about some current hot topics here in NM. 

One of our favorite thing to do at Nada Grande Outdoors is to help our Hunt It Forward participant keep their hunting experience moving forward. So for this weeks podcast Kyle and Rodney sat down with Shay and Ryan to help them learn a little about the rules and regs book and complete their very first draw hunt applications. It didn't hurt that we did this over a hot plate of speed goat tacos, cooked from Ryan's pronghorn he shot last year. Delicious! 

This week Kyle and Rodney sat down with the Tristana Bickford, the Communications Director of the NMDGF. We had an awesome conversation about some of the things happening in and around the Department of Game and Fish here in New Mexico. Come check it out. 

Great food, great company and a great podcast. Kyle and I are joined once again by Harvest Trail Journey and the backyard_butcher to discuss subsistence living, homesteading and hunting. Come join us. 

For this weeks podcast we touch on several subjects, but one important subject is in the title, how to disagree. It is pretty important. We cant always see eye to eye, but that doesn't mean we cant still have a good two sided conversation regardless of the topic. Come check it out. 

Get it done right in the field. For this weeks episode of the Nada Grande Outdoors Podcast, Kyle and I sat down with Josh Jensen, of White Mountain Taxidermy. He had some great tips on field care for better meat processing and proper techniques for caping animals for a great mount. Come check it out. 

One thing is for sure, the rules and regs book can get confusing for new hunters. Don't think that is true? Then go grab one from Arizona or Idaho and try to figure it out. It's not easy. But not to worry, Kyle and I have sat down with the 2020-2021 book for this week's podcast. We hope it will help. 

"Misery fades and the memories remain"  I hear Kyle say this a lot and I believe he is right. What we do now, for ourselves, for our friends, and for our loved ones creates those memories. Without them where is our purpose? Camping trips, hunting trips, and road trips are a great way to create these memories that will last through generations. What we do now with our friends and family, in particular the little ones, will live on in memory and campfire stories for a long time. What happens if we don't take the time to make these memories while we can? Nothing, and that sounds very boring. So, come listen to this weeks podcast about, what else, Memories. 

Earlier this year we did a Barbary hunt giveaway for a tag we were given on some private property. During the hunt we sat down with the winner, Holt Tilton, our buddy, Gear Junky Jerry, and Russell Wilson to talk about the hunt. We also discussed the importance of private land and the role it plays for wildlife habitat.
