Throwback Thursday with Fred Eichler Elk hunting

Throwback Thursday with Fred Eichler
 
Show Notes: 
 
A lot of variables come into play when you’re elk hunting, or any kind of hunting for that matter. But a lot of hunters fail to understand that they need to be doing the research and get away from the crowds to be successful in hunting. Fred Eichler is an experienced guide who has a permit in 1.3million acres of hunting area. We sat down and talked about Colorado hunting and tags, using different resources for research such as talking to biologists and the data that proves you need to get away from where everyone else is hunting so you double your chances of success. 

Spring Bear Season with Doug Boze

Spring Bear Season with Doug Boze
Show Notes:
Doug Boze has been hunting for about 30 years and in his own words, he hunts anything that walks: deer, bear, and other big game. He joined us on the podcast to talk about his favorite hunt: black bear. I kicked us off by telling Doug about my experience in predator hunting and calling. 
Doug talked a bit about what he looks for in a hunting area. When he gets into the field, he looks for places that seem ‘bearish.’ While that might not sound helpful at first glance, it’s just one of those things that takes experience. Doug told me what defines ‘bearish’ for him – what type of landscape, drainage areas, and other hints that bears are present.
 
Food is the most important thing for bears. So, Doug says that should be the most important factor for bear hunters. Find out what bears are eating and where their food can be found. Bears also strip trees like no one’s business: that’s one of the best ways to find spring bears. Aside from that, there’s tracks, scat, and a few other telltale signs that Doug told me about.
 
We went on to talk a lot more about bear hunting and calling. Doug also has a great story about bear hunting with his brother during the late season. After that, we discussed the anti-hunt movement and the future of bear hunting. The politics of bear hunting are crazier than ever. Doug and I have some ideas about what we can do about that. 
 
What's Inside:
- What to look for when hunting bears.
- What a ‘bearish’ landscape looks like.
- Identifying trees stripped by bears.
- A deep dive on the politics of bear hunting.
- How to fix the issues with hunting legislation.

Throwback Thursday with Eddie Willy Early season deer AZ

Throwback Thursday with Eddie Willy
 
Show Notes: 
 
Not a lot of people talk about the early season deer hunting in Arizona. Most people overlook it and just goes with the regular archery hunting season because of the heat that comes with being in the desert but there’s a lot that goes into it. The good hunts don’t always happen near the water. I sat down with Eddie Willy from Southeast Arizona Hunts to talk about early season deer hunting. We share stories and knowledge on animal behavior during the early season, bedding habits, how to locate deer during this time of the year and more useful bits to help early season hunters.

AZ OTC Deer Hunt Changes with David Rigo

AZ OTC Deer Hunt Changes with David Rigo
Arizona’s over-the-counter, nonpermit-tag archery deer hunting opportunity will continue for the 2022-2023 hunts, but harvest limits have been set by unit and by species. 
This approach is in accordance with hunt guidelines (www.azgfd.com/Hunting/Guidelines/) approved April 1, 2022, by the Arizona Game and Fish Commission. Harvest limits were set at 20 percent of the estimated harvest for a unit and species. Failure to report a harvest, as well as hunting in a closed unit, will be strictly enforced.
All over-the-counter archery deer hunters will be required to report their harvest either online or by phone within 48 hours of taking their deer (details to be published in the 2022-2023 Arizona Hunting Regulations booklet). When the number of deer equaling the archery deer harvest limit for a particular unit and species has been reported, the unit will be closed to further archery deer hunting at sundown the Wednesday immediately following. 
Hunters will be responsible for checking online or by telephone before hunting to determine if their desired hunt unit is still open. The department’s website will be updated continuously to reflect the number of deer harvested and whether a harvest limit has been reached and a unit is closed. 
The 2022-2023 Arizona Hunting Regulations will be posted online in early May at www.azgfd.com/Hunting/Regulations/.

Throwback Thursday with Billy Babish Mule deer

Throwback Thursday with Billy Babish
 
Show Notes: 
 
I’ve got my good friend and long-time hunting colleague, Billy Babish, on the TBT today. Being Arizona natives, Billy and I both know what it’s like to be archery hunting late in the season in this state. But Billy has a special skill…he only gets to hunt by himself for about 5-6 days in a year but he always manages to bag himself a buck. He’s got great know-hows about late season archery hunting in AZ and he gave us the low-down on Coues and mules, animal patterns, strategies he’s tried and what has worked for him over the years.  Talking Mule Deer Hunting Tactics with Muley Slayer Marc Smith

Hunt anywhere and have success

How to Fight for Hunting
Show Notes:
As someone with 40 years of hunting experience, I’ve seen the ebbs and flows of the anti-hunt movement. Today, it’s growing year after year. So, I sat down this week to talk a little about land management, hunting strategy, but most importantly: Howl for Wildlife. Howl for Wildlife is a new organization dedicated to hunting activism. Activism can be a dirty word for many hunters, but it’s time for us to stand up for our right to hunt. 
 
I talked a bit about my background in hunting, and how I became a hunting guide. I went on to discuss my hunting and scouting strategy. My strategy depends on the animal I’m hunting, of course, so I started with mule deer. We talked a bit about what kind of habitat keeps does around and what we should be looking for as hunters. We also swapped some stories about our experiences hunting, guiding, and more. 
 
After that, we got into the meat of the episode: hunting activism. “Activism” isn’t a word usually associated with our side, but it’s about time that hunters start being active. The anti-hunt movement is only growing, and it’s up to us to fight that. We talked a bit about the anti-hunt movement, and how that type of disinformation can impact policy change. 
 
That led me into my organization, Howl for Wildlife. The organization was founded to work for hunters, and we’ve already had some success. I talked a bit about the story of Howl for Wildlife, and what we are doing for hunters today. We had a great conversation about conservation, activism, and uniting as hunters. 
 
What's’ Inside:
- Tips and tricks for reading the land.
- How anti-hunting legislation spreads across the nation.
- The importance of unity as hunters.
- How the mainstream media paints hunters as the bad guys.
- How you can help fight for hunting rights.

Short Description:
This week on the podcast, we talked about hunting rights and the importance of hunting activism. That’s typically not a word associated with our side of things, but it’s critical that we come together as hunters and stand up for what’s right.  Aside from that, we had a great conversation about hunting strategy and reading land.

Throwback Thursday with Corey Jacobsen

Throwback Thursday with Corey Jacobsen
 
Show Notes: 
 
Every hunter has a formula for hunting and this comes out with experience by figuring out what tactics and strategies work for you and your hunting style. Corey Jacobsen is an elk hunter who has tons of stories from his 30 plus years of hunting experience. And with over 3 decades of hunting, he’s finally mapped out the formula that brings him success in the field. We sat down and talked about his hunting formula, what it was like to see his son shoot his first elk and the excitement he still feels on the field even after decades of hunting. 

Jason Phelps - Activism, Elk Hunting, and Calling

Activism, Elk Hunting, and Calling with Jason Phelps
Show Notes:
Jason Phelps is a man who needs no introduction. But just in case – he’s an experienced elk hunter and an industry leader in game call design and manufacturing. Jason is most known for his credentials as a call designer, but we talked about a whole lot more than just calling. We touched on hunting conditions, elk hunting, and of course – calling strategies. 
 
Before any of that, though, we discussed hunting activism. The movement against hunting rights is only growing. Combine that with all the craziness going on in the world, and it’s more important than ever to stand up for our rights as hunters. Jason lives in NorCal, so he’s right in the thick of the anti-hunting movement. 
 
With that out of the way, we swapped a few stories about elk hunting. Jason’s got plenty of experience hunting elk and the stories he shared makes you wish you were in the hunting field at that very moment. We talked about what Jason looks for in hunting conditions, before getting into the nitty-gritty of elk calling. 
 
There are a lot of ways to call for elk, but there’s also a right (and wrong) way to do it. Given Jason’s experience with just that, he gives very practical and useful tips on elk calling. We ultimately agreed – it’s important to find a way that you enjoy, that also brings success. 
 
What's Inside:
- The importance of hunting activism.
- How hunting legislation gets passed. 
- We swap stories about elk hunting.
- Different techniques for calling elk.
