This podcast is with Les Welch, an awesome dude I was reunited with in recent years. Les has an amazing timeline in the archery industry. He and I met in a remote camp once and teamed up to double down on two velvet whitetails. We both looked so different that it was a shock seeing him at the Total Archery Challenge events last year. Recently, he and I teamed up all Summer working with all levels of archers and enjoying the experiences of TAC. Les is a savage bowhunter, has a great backcountry portfolio and represents several great companies in the industry.

This podcast is with my good buddy, Andy Stumpf. We met up in Utah for a few hours and recorded an entertaining conversation about several ridiculous topics. This podcast was originally recorded for Andy’s Cleared Hot Podcast but I thought it would be a good listen for the #NockOnNation as well.

There’s a lot of my progression through my hunting career that I’ve never really explained. It was a progressive journey that started on a small family place and grew into public hunting but then was slowly built into understanding private land hunting. Although I have never gone into detail on this in the past it all surfaced during a recent passion project with HuntWise app team. This awesome discussion happened as I sat down with huge assets to bowhunting Matt Read. Matt takes me and the viewers on an in depth tour of the powerful HuntWise app and all of the incredible features it provides to hunters to make them more knowledgeable and more successful. As we navigated the app I had distant memories surface that is such a critical step for new hunters to hear. I really enjoyed this podcast because we revealed how to climb the ladder of a new hunter to where I currently am.L! Also as an added bonus to our podcast listeners, HuntWise is giving the Nock On Nation a 25% discount off the app, which can be found at get.huntwise.com/nockon

In this podcast, I sit down with Nate Huizenga who is an interesting new addition to the “grass roots” hunting community. He has such a cool story on becoming a hunter and I was curious to dig deeper. This podcast was the segue to me realizing the parallels of the Nock On Nation and the HuntWise Team. The definition of ETHOS is “the characteristic spirit of a culture, era, or community as manifested in its beliefs and aspirations”. When I first met with the HuntWise Team, it was obvious that their ethos closely matched my ethos and my passion to provide education and knowledge to help bowhunters be better. I am really pumped about this partnership and what it means for furthering our educational platform for the Nock On Nation!

On this podcast I talk with my good buddy Mike Slinkard who is an industry veteran and amazing hunter. I like to have a conversation each season with Mike prior to Spring hunting. He’s a wealth of knowledge and we talk about his recent hunt for a massive Costal Brown Bear that he shot under 20 yards and then we dive into some great information. I pick his brain about common mistakes hunters make for both Mule Deer and Elk!

I have had many people behind the lens for me over the years and no one has been with me more than Caleb Copeland. He has been in the industry for a long time bringing forth videos and images that tell great stories. Caleb and I sit down and discuss the past, present and future of our content creation.
