In our first episode of the Hunt XP Podcast, we're coming at you with stories that made us who we are in the field. Our team dives in with introductions and our first deer stories—the ones that hooked us into this lifestyle and still get us out of bed before dawn. We’re sharing a few laughs and hard-learned lessons, especially about the ups and downs of taking kids hunting. We know many of you have been there, too; it’s rewarding, challenging, and a reminder of why we love this community.
Then we bring in Jeremiah Stavne, a true storyteller who’s crafted a life blending his two passions—hunting and filmmaking. Jeremiah’s background in youth ministry led him to the outdoor industry, where he’s made a name for himself behind the camera, capturing those raw, real moments that can’t be scripted. He talks about the power of storytelling in hunting, not just the thrill of the hunt but the journey, the mishaps, and the connections that are at the heart of why we do this.
Jeremiah also pulls back the curtain on what his day-to-day looks like, dealing with the challenges unique to producing hunting content—it's a whole other level of patience and grit. We go deep into the craft, exploring how he’s shifted his focus over the years from the trophy moments to the stories that stay with you long after the season’s over. It's about more than just the shot; it's about the whole experience—the people, the places, and the lessons learned out there.
So if you’re as passionate about the hunting lifestyle as we are, or maybe you’re just looking for a reminder of why it all matters, join us. You’re going to hear stories that feel familiar, insights that make you think, and maybe pick up a few tips along the way.
