On this episode Huntavore, Nick is making the best of a current situation.  I’m sure like a lot of busy dad’s, the opportunity to get on hunts has been few and far between.  With only a handful of sits, Nick is biding his time.  While in this hunting purgatory, he has had the opportunity to assist successful hunters.  Two hunters hired Nick to process their 2 New Mexico bull elk.  He goes on his approach and how it is the biggest wildgame process he’s ever done.  Nick also helped salvage a young whitetail buck that his brother in law hit.  A bit of a sobering dose of reality, yet something that can be relatable, on this episode of Huntavore.

On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman, Dan chats with hunting buddy Austin Reinold about the ups and downs of their hunting season so far.

Dan and Austin started their 2024 hunting season by flying to Alaska and chasing moose and caribou. Although they came home empty handed, the disappointment from the hunt wasn’t quite over. Weeks later Dan discovered more upsetting news on his phone which the two discuss in this podcast episode. Both Dan and Austin have had encounters with their target bucks for this season but have not been able to capitalize on the opportunities. They discuss adjustments to their hunting strategies, improvements to their land and upcoming changes in the weather which they both hope will prove valuable as they try to get a mature buck on the ground in Missouri. With only a few weeks before rifle season they try to figure out what needs to change in order to have success with a bow early in the year.
