Are you tired of the anti-hunting community always trying to interfere with our way of life? This legislative session has been a reminder that they are well armed and will not back down until hunting doesn't exist in the US. They do have a loud voice but they are a small population. They are just swaying the folks in the middle over to their side. Writing letters and contacting our decision makers has always been a great option but does take some work. Now there is an easier way. Charles Whitwam is one of the those guys doing something about it. Check out this episode to hear how we can keep western hunting here to stay with this new innovative tool.

• Howl for wildlife origin and structure

• Writing letters to lawmakers and decision makers

• Protecting our hunting heritage

One of the many reasons we don't travel to hunt is the cost and the knowhow on how to get there, what to bring and paperwork involved following the rules. There are some amazing hunting opportunities that many hunters dream about but don't ever make them happen. Danny explains some easy steps to making those dreams happen. Start saving your pennies because the dream is there, just make it happen.

If you are a western hunter you share the field with the oil and gas industry. In order to get gas prices down, domestic oil is a requirement. We can't have all energy "not in my backyard" some has to be here and why not be energy independent. So many folks worry about what oil and gas does to our landscape. Imagine what oil and gas does to those other landscapes in foreign countries with lesser regulations. Our oil and gas here is highly regulated despite what some may think. In this episode I chat with my buddy Korey who is an environmental specialist who works in the oil and gas industry. Here's what we discussed.

• Oil and gas impacts on wildlife

• Hunting Stories

• What is the oil and gas industry community like

• Wildlife migrations

What's the best hunting boot for your deer or elk hunt in the west? I'm not here to tell you what company but a couple things I've found in buying boot after boot. Expensive hunting boots are a large expense and the less expensive Cabela's brand gets a little more tempting. I will give you a few tips to help you with that selection. Here's some of the tips we discuss.

• First steps to planning your 2022 hunt

• Are expensive Kenetrek, Crispi, Schnee's hunting boots worth it?

• Hunting boot durability, performance and longevity

• Spot and Stock boot options

• Using gators to improve boot performance

Getting busted when drawing your bow at an elk or deer within range is one of the most frustrating moments in western hunting. Elk will often hang up in the hang up zone and not present you with a shot. Deer will often bust you in that last moment and getting close isn't easy either. A small insurance policy of a decoy can help. Danny Farris from Ultimate Predator and Hoyt Bowhunting Podcast shares about his company's product to help close the distance.
