The First Gen Hunter Podcast

Andrew is a friend and fellow podcaster who has taken on hunting as a first gen hunter. After being contacted multiple times on how to hunt with a muzzleloader Andrew and I decided to host a podcast together to air on both of our feeds to help others learn how to hunt successfully with a muzzleloader.

Adam is a goat herdsman who uses his goat herd to restore native habitat throughout the midwest by grazing down competition from invasive plants. Our passion for conserving prairie ecosystems is what helped us cross paths which is when I found out that Adam loves hunting doves. He recently purchased an outfitted dove hunt in Argentina, the promised land of great dove hunting, and he joined me on the show to discuss his experiences.

Topics Include:

- Wearing out shotguns

-The skill of the "bird boys"

In this episode Kent and Alex interview Jeremy Dinsmore of the Antler Up Podcast to dig into the strategy of saddle hunting. Saddle hunting is the most ultralight method of mobile hunting, but the learning curve seems to be a barrier for many hunters. Jeremy breaks down the how and why of saddle hunting and by the end of listening I think you will feel ready to give it a try. I know I do.

The more deer seasons I get under my belt, the more I realize how important it is to hunt over the most recent intel possible. Mobile hunting, or run and gun hunting as some call it, has been proven to be the most effective means to achieve this. I have used some mobile hang and hunt tactics in the past, and have often felt overwhelmed by the work it takes to do it effectively. Jake Lishen of The Land Limited has perfected his hang and hunt approach over many seasons of hunting almost exclusively in this manner. He Joined Alex and me to talk about how he approaches his hunts. There are some great tips in here that I can't wait to apply myself. 

Other Topics

-Finding a job you love

-Woodsmanship

-Deer are different across the country

-Manicured deer properties vs mobile hunting on public land
