In Episode 30 of the Post Hunt Clarity Podcast, we sit down with Kaitlyn Maus for a conversation about getting back to her roots, growing up in the outdoors, and how hunting became a part of her life.

Kaitlyn talks about how she was introduced to hunting through her dad, what it was like learning from him, and how those early experiences shaped the way she looks at the outdoors today. We also dive into when she started bow hunting, what that learning curve looked like, and why having someone to teach you can make such a massive difference when you’re trying to figure this whole hunting thing out.

That led us into a bigger conversation around Post Hunt Clarity and why we built this course in the first place. Not everyone has a dad, uncle, buddy, or mentor who can walk them through the basics. Some people want to hunt, but have no idea where to start, what gear they actually need, how to scout, how wind works, how to recover an animal, or how to stop feeling completely lost in the woods.

That’s exactly what Post Hunt Clarity was built for.

We also had some fun with rapid fire questions, talked about Jeppson’s Malört, and somehow ended up on the topic of a Kansas buck getting a little too friendly with one of Ben’s decoys. Yeah… you read that right.

In this episode we cover:

• Kaitlyn’s hunting backstory
• Learning to hunt from her dad
• Getting started with bow hunting
• Why new hunters need better education
• How Post Hunt Clarity helps hunters without a teacher
• Rapid fire hunting questions
• Jeppson’s Malört
• One of the wildest decoy stories we’ve ever heard

Whether you’re brand new to hunting, trying to get better, or just like real conversations from real hunters, this episode is a good one.

Post Hunt Clarity is here to help new and novice hunters actually understand hunting, not just buy more gear and hope it works.
