Talking Elk with the Western Huntsman with Jim Huntsman

Show Notes:

Jim Huntsman is the man behind the Western Huntsman Podcast. He’s a lifelong Western hunter, and his passion for the outdoors has taken him across multiple states in pursuit of everything from screaming bull elk to cutthroat trout on a fly rod. Jim is also dedicated to protecting the future of hunting and defending it against the fanatical anti-hunting community.

Jim grew up in Utah and joined the US Marines as a rifleman. There, he spent time stationed in North Carolina and served in Kosovo, Africa, and the Iraq War. After the Marines, Jim moved to North Idaho, where he met his wife, Nicole. Together, they have two daughters and are raising them on a 26-acre homestead.

Concerned for the future of hunting, Jim began writing for the hunting industry in 2016. In 2018, The Western Huntsman was started as a platform to write and share ideas with the sportsman community. On Christmas Eve of 2019, Jim launched the first podcast episode of The Western Huntsman and named his podcast studio after that season's bull... The Broken Tines Studio. 

Here, Jim talks about what his ideal hunting trip looks like, which includes staying cozy in an RV. We then get into a little about wolf hunting and trapping and what the price of wolf hides goes for these days. We also chat about how trapping and hunting wolves keeps the elk population healthy, Jim’s go-to strategy for elk hunting, and more.
