Dirk Durham is one of the worlds best elk hunters and callers, he's also the marketing manager with Phelps Game Calls and one helluva friend to me. As a return guest on this show, he never disappoints. 

In this episode, Dirk and I discuss etiquette on the mountain and answer listener questions and comments on this topic. We're both long enough in the tooth to remember hunting before the internet, and have seen how the hunting community has changed over the last few decades. Etiquette and unspoken rules between hunters have always been of importance, and perhaps for many, they didn't have the proper mentorship to know what good hunting etiquette is. We're hoping to change that with episodes like this one, and there's nobody better than Dirk to kick this important conversation off!

Gary Strassburg is a veteran, hunter, family man, and Washington resident who was troubled by what he was seeing taking place with the hunting community in the Evergreen State. He is the perfect example of when a citizen decides to get engaged and take action.

In this episode, Gary and I discuss the events that led him to participating in wildlife commission meetings and taking action with the newly formed Conservation Coalition of Washington. We discuss a framework of solutions to change the tide of anti-hunting sentiment, hunter engagement, and messaging to the American non-hunter that shines a positive light on the hunting community.

Cliff Gray is a former outfitter, guide, hunter, and story teller of all things hunting. His YouTube Channel is one of the best in the business and he joins me for a great discussion about all of it. 

In this episode, Cliff and I discuss his life as a hunter, hunter issues and etiquette, entrepreneurship, outfitting, and his time on the Joe Rogan Podcast. I love having guys like Cliff on the show, their perspective as a hunter layered with outfitting and having a huge platform tend to bring out new understandings of the issues we deal with as outdoorsmen. He is experienced, articulate, and unashamed to share his beliefs.

This week, I bring in members of the newly formed Conservation Coalition of Washington; Mike Herz, Josh Caple, Kelsey Haller, and Cory Maxwell. 

We discuss the current state of commissioners of the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife. The panel has a lot of inside information as to which commissioners are on the side of hunting and conservation, and which ones aren't. We break down each commissioner, discuss many of the hurdles in the way of hunting in Washington, future proposals, and much more. If you're a sportsman in Washington, these conversations are growing ever more important. Many of the current commissioners in the WDFW are openly hostile towards hunting, and by default, conservation. This puts Washington hunters, anglers, and the wildlife that call Washington home at risk. 

I would love feedback on this episode, especially ideas on how to spread the message to a broader audience: [email protected]

Andrew Tucker and his wife joined my wife and I for a night of campfires, whiskey, and good company. We slipped into the studio to record an episode during their visit and covered a ton of ground! He's the first in-person guest in the newly minted Broken Tines Studio, and our badass wives make up the first ever in-studio live audience! Whiskey flowed and speech may be a bit slurred by the end, it's just the facts.

We talk about Andrew's success on a herd bull this last September, he walks us through his journery from almost zero field experience as a hunter to notching a tag on a fantastic bull. He offers some insight for folks just getting started as hunters and some of the hard lessons he learned along the way. Andrew is not only my cousin, but a damn good friend and we've shared some insane adventures in the mountains of North Idaho together. Seasoned hunters to totally green ones will get a lot of value out of this episode. We all dream of big screaming bulls in September, here's Andrew's story about how his September dreams came true! Enjoy!
