Welcome to turkey call practice with Scott Ellis of Mouth Call Magic. We wanted to throw together a way for you to practice your turkey calling, along side a guide to help you get the right rhythm and tone. So grab your favorite turkey reed and try and mimic the sounds and rhythm of Scott as he calls.

The Wild Chef–Jeremiah Doughty aka From Field to Plate–joins The Rich Outdoors hunting podcast to chat about two of my favorite subjects: food and hunting. If you are into either of those you will love this podcast. Jeremiah is a passionate chef with an incredible passion for knowing where is food comes from, and how it is prepared. 

 

 

Today, Ryan Carter of DC Outfitters in Southern Utah joins me to chat about elk hunting, chasing the biggest bull on the mountain, and understanding the difference in how to do so effectively. We talk about elk behavior, patterns, movement, and more. We also chat a little bit about whats going on with the Western Hunt Expo scandal and his thoughts on that as a local Utah elk hunter.

 

Zach Owens, of Beyond The Backcountry, joins me on the podcast this week to talk a wide variety of hunting topics. We had a blast talking about hunting motivation, fitness, and the difference between rifle hunting and bow hunting. We also chat about hunting with your significant other and some advice for how to approach that as well. Zach is a stand up guy with a great sense of humor and some awesome advice for hunters. We also talk about Idaho wolf hunting and some of the struggles Zach has faced finding an elusive wolf. All in all, we had a blast talking about hunting, and nothing gets me more pumped to head out to the mountains like chatting about it with good friends. Be sure to check out Zach Owens @beyond_the_backcountry on Instagram and let him know what you thought of the show.

 

Today’s episode is a special episode, and it’s one that I really wish more hunters would not only listen to but get involved in. We are chatting with the CEO of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers about BHA, and about what kinds of things they’re working on, as well as things that hunters can step up and be a part of too. Too many hunters these days go hunting and think that someone else is out there making sure you can still go hunting next year. We use this analogy in the podcast, but I want to make sure it sinks in. Hunting conservation is like maintaining your truck. If you want to have a nice truck, you gotta take care of it. That’s what joining hunting conservation groups like Backcountry Hunters and Anglers is, it’s ensuring that our heritage that we love so much will be around to enjoy for years to come. I really encourage everyone to check out the podcast and go join BHA. It’s only $25 and is great insurance to help ensure that we have a backcountry to hunt, fish,  and go do what we love.

Welcome to The Rich Outdoors Hunting Podcast,  where it’s my job to chat with top hunters and industry professionals to figure out how to be more successful and to weed out the tips and tricks that they have learned over the years. They say a wise man learns from other’s mistakes, while a fool only learns from his own. While I am no wise man by any stretch of the imagination, hopefully we can take what others have learned before us and grow from that and maybe even have fun along the way as well. Today’s interview is no exception to the rule, for she is the walking example of chasing your dreams and fully engulfing yourself in the experience. Rachel Ahtila’s journey to becoming a sheep guide in the north country is both impressive and inspiring, and we had a blast chatting about all of the lessons learned along the way–or at least I did. Hope you guys enjoy the show. As always, be sure to leave us a review on iTunes and be sure to say hello to Rachel Ahtila on Facebook or Twitter (@RachelAhtila).
