Nock Performance

In studio this week w/ owner of High Caliber Hunts, Collin Cottrell. Collin traveled all the way from Texas to join me in the elk woods & we tore it down. We were fortunate enough to have some close encounters & enjoyed getting to know each other. It's always tough putting experiences like this past week into words so we chatted about everything as a whole on this episode. Collin is a great man who lives to a high standard. His passion for improvement & leveling up in life is undeniable. It's an honor calling him a friend. Enjoy listening to his journey of elevation & this past week chasing bugles.

Got to catch up this week with my good friend, Logan White. Logan & I discuss all things elk hunting from calling, glassing, north facing slopes and much more. We also touch on if you are in the beginning stages of hunting to find one person you can relate to & study how they hunt. Logan also signed a deal with Browning which we dive in to. Cheers to 50 episodes!

I also speak on my personal Elk expectations this season.

Bridging the gap between hunters & non-hunters through open conversation. This is something AJ Kazmierczak prides himself in. Conversation includes the impact of winning the TAC truck, entrepreneurship, the podcast that changed his life, the importance of social awareness, looking after people you care about, what it means to keep moving forward & his upcoming Nebraska mule deer hunt. 

Really listen to AJ as nothing comes without SACRIFICE. 

It was a pleasure speaking to AJ & I look forward to his continued success.

The definition of a gamer: a player who is game // especially : an athlete who relishes competition. This is how Stuart Holmes describes himself. Throughout the show we speak on what Stuart stands for, what the USMC taught him, inspiration throughout his life, what sets him apart from others, what you need to start tuning your own bow and much more. Thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Stuart. I know a "gamer" when I see one and Stuart is nothing but that.
