Renowned wildlife photographer and bow hunter Tony Bynum shares with us some great wildlife photography tips, advice, and philosophy. As well as some tips on just capturing the memory of the hunt and taking better hunting photos.

Today’s interview came about somewhat of my own intrigue and curiosity, though I think there are a lot of really great takeaways even for those who have no need for wildlife photography advice. Tony Bynum is an amazing wildlife photographer, but first and foremost, he is a hunter. We talk about how his passions have benefited each other and helped him become better in both. Tony has traveled the world capturing that special moment for hunters on all kinds of expeditions. I really enjoyed this interview and think there is great advice for taking hunting photos, wildlife photography tips, and for life in general. Hopefully, with some tips from Tony, you will be on your way to capturing your hunt of a lifetime with the photo to match.

Joshua Carney–you may know him as Son of the South, or the animal calling guy. Joshua not only has an amazing ability to make all kinds of  game call sounds with his mouth (and yes he beats me in a calling contest as you’ll hear in the show) but what is incredible about him, is his outlook on life and his upbeat positive attitude. Despite being told he would never walk again after a hunting accident left him paralyzed, Joshua is out there enjoying his passion for the outdoors.

Mr. Son of the South’s upbeat attitude and positive outlook on life is all but contagious and inspiring. Not only is he a happy-go-lucky kind of guy, Josh works his butt off to be a successful hunter. In this podcast, we talk about many of the struggles and challenges he faces and how he approaches those situations. As Josh shares his story, its hard not to be both impressed and inspired to do more and work harder.

All seriousness aside, Josh and I had a blast recording this episode, having a calling competition, talking about using dogs to pick up chicks, and cougar hunting (at a bar) vs lion hunting (in the woods).

Hope this episode inspires everyone to be better, or at least puts a smile on your face. Joshua “Son of the South” Carney is an inspiration to us all.

Hello ladies and gents, welcome to another episode of The Rich Outdoors podcast. I’m your host Cody Rich, and this podcast is all about becoming a better hunter. It’s about developing our skills and our knowledge when we are not in the field to maximize our efforts on our next hunt in the field.

One very under rated skill when it comes to hunting is the ability to track. That can be both in tracking wounded and non-wounded animals. I think there is a lot one can learn from tracking in either situation, but today we are chatting with Ryan Callaghan of First Lite on his methods an thoughts on tracking wounded animals. Growing up hunting and guiding in Montana, Ryan in no stranger to following a blood trail, both good and bad, and has some great advice for tracking wounded game. Ryan was also one of the first employees of First Lite and and we also talk about the the early years and trying to tell people that it was a good idea to wear wool clothing in 90 degree weather–me being one of them.

     

 Show Notes:

Growing up in Montana: Ryan shares his childhood growing up in Montana and the hunting and fishing opportunities that are plentiful. He also shares some of his favorite childhood hunts and those that hooked him on hunting for life. We chat about his start into working for an outfitter and some of the things Ryan learned making hunting his day job.

We cover Ryan’s strategy for blood tracking, from the very moment the shot is made, including before doing anything, visualizing the arrow flight, what the animal did and the last place the animal was before going out of sight. Ryan talks about being sure to stop and listen before rushing over to find an arrow or blood, that there is a lot you can gather from listening to what that animal does before you start blood tracking. We talk about what a blood trail and sign can tell you about the hit and some of the misnomers that get thrown around about know “what an animal does”. We cover blood  tracking in less then ideal conditions and what to do when bad weather is going to ruin a blood trail. Ryan has some good tips on what to do when you lose blood and how to stick with it or start patterning to locate a wounded animal with out a blood trail.

We close out the episode talking about the early years of First Lite and many of the struggles with starting the high performance hunting clothing company. We chat about the decision to have multiple patterns and also what their plans are going forward.
