I have been asked several times " Why do I hunt Coyotes?' another question I get that usually follows the first one is "Do you eat them?" Well...I do not eat them for a couple different reasons, but primarily because they are wild dogs - flea infested dogs. To be honest, I think it's more mental than anything but that's besides the point. 

There are times that we hunt for other reasons besides food. Predator control is one of those reasons. Today's episode goes over some of the reasons why we should hunt coyotes and why it's important to manage them properly. I hope you enjoy this episode and hopefully this will give a little more insight to why coyotes should be hunted and managed. Enjoy!!

God works in mysteries ways! He provides us with so much and it is up to us to see this and follow the path intended for us. My guests today share this belief with me and we talk about how they were shown the way by Gods light and wisely chose to follow it and for good reason.

Hunting is so much more than harvesting an animal. Most hunters hunt for the  experience, the challenge,  the meat, quality time with family and friends and becoming closer to nature. 
Todays episode I sit down with Jason Thornton of Edible Outdoors Cook and talk about those aspects of hunting. We also discuss tactics for preparing for turkey season, Jason shares his most memorable turkey hunting experience and then some. This is an awesome conversation and you are not going to want to miss it. 

Make sure you check Jason out and follow him on Instagram @edible_outdoors_cook and check out his website at https://www.edibleoutdoorscook.com for awesome recipes. 

As a chef I demand the best equipment I can get.  At least the best I can afford. Kitchen equipment is no different than hunting equipment, fishing equipment,  or any other hobby or sport you may be into. Quality comes with a higher price tag up front but those items will last you for years, if not forever.   Which actually saves you money in the long run. 
In this episode I go over what I think are the most necessary pieces of  equipment cooks need in their kitchen. Everything from Knives to plastic wrap. Enjoy.

As a hunter I crave the challenge of chasing wild game. I look forward to spending time outdoors and soaking up Gods magnificent beauty. I also look forward to having fresh meat for my family’s table. Meat that I can be proud of and know that it's safe for my family to eat. 

Today’s conversation I sit down with Nick Otto founder of the Huntavore podcast. Nick is a fellow outdoorsman from Michigan who shares the same passions that I do for the outdoors and for food. This is a great conversation that covers a lot more than just shooting and cooking. Give it a listen.

Today I discuss something that has been bothering me. I read an article about the New York City school district making a Vegan only lunch on Fridays. Why in the hell are they doing this to kids? Well... the true reason we may never know, but this is something that should not be happening and parents should be outraged over. Leave these type of decisions to the parents. The schools/county should not be making these type of decisions for our children. 
Give the episode a listen and read the article and let me know what your thoughts are? I hope you enjoy my rant and thank you for listening.

Today's episode I talk about the amazing experience I had with a first time archery hunter Jim. Jim had purchased a bow in March of 2021 with the intent to hunt. Jim wanted to provide fresh, clean meat for his family and he was determined to make this year a succesful one.

I actually met Jim's wife at my booth during the Fest in the West Festival in October. She mentioned that her husband had just started hunting and would love to go on a guided hunt. So after giving her my contact information Jim had contacted me via phone and we set up the first hunt. Unfortunately,  the 1st hunt didn't go as planed and we left empty-handed. Well, that's hunting. 
We scheduled a second hunt and...... you are just going to have to listen to the episode to find out how that went! Enjoy! 

Today's episode I had the pleasure of sitting down with Tommy Serafinski, founder of Tommy's Outdoors podcast. It was truly a pleaser to speak with Tommy and get to know more about hunting in Ireland.
This conversation dips into a wide range of topics from having meaningful and respectful conversations with non-hunters, benefits of harvesting your own food, hunting regulations in Ireland and more. Give it a listen. I know you won't be disappointed.
