Title: The Best Hunting Gear for Adults and Children
Show Notes:
Not only do you need to be concerned with the weather when choosing hunting gear, but you should also be thinking about the kind of terrain you’ll be out on, and whether the gear has been tested. My cousin Anthony and I share the best gear we’ve found for hunting, and as an added bonus, we’ll talk about what kind of hunting gear we buy for our children.
Sometimes you can find great gear at Costco, like my favorite base under layers. But other times, it’s worth it to splurge on shoes or gloves that can protect you when you’re out in the wild. Anthony and I work through the best:
Hiking boots
Hiking socks
Cold weather gloves
Binoculars
Hunting pants
Hunting rifles
In my experience, not only can bad gear mess with your overall hunting experience by making you so cold that you can’t enjoy yourself, but it can also mess with your stalking abilities. Getting out on the trail with brand-new shoes can literally hobble you as your feet blister in unfamiliar shoes. Anthony talks about how he gets his kids ready for hunting and hiking, and why he tries out different pairs of shoes on his kids.
Be sure and check out some of my gear recommendations on my website, and don’t forget coupon codes for some of my favorite brands.
What’s Inside:
The best backpack that Anthony swears makes his bowhunting form even better.
Our recommendation for gloves that you can shoot with or hold your binoculars with while still keeping warm in below freezing temps.
Hunting gear for children should be broken in well before the actual hunting trip.
My absolute favorite gaiters for keeping brambles and cacti out.
Can binos ever be too good for a hunting trip? Anthony explains his thought process on binos.

Short Description:
Cheap hunting gear that doesn’t get the job done can really ruin a hunting trip. When the temperatures dip below 20 degrees, you don’t want to be more concerned with staying warm than keeping an eye on the herd below you, so today I’m giving recommendations for some of my favorite kinds of gear.

Marlon Holden 2020 Hunting Year in Review

Title: 2020 Hunting Year in Review with Marlon Holden
Show Notes:
Even though this year provided challenges that were unlike anything we’ve ever seen before, there were still plenty of opportunities to get out there and get into the wild. I talk with Marlon Holden about his 2020 goals to harvest a better age class and animals with more character, and he shares some of his favorite highlights from the 5 archery deer that he bagged.
If you listen to guys who are consistently out in the field, doing a great job, you’ll be able to better understand what stalking should actually look like. I have to remind myself, “If you think you’re going slow, you’re not going slow enough”. A big part of hunting is thinking about what you’re doing and why you need to do it, and then analyzing how you can improve your technique. No one does this better than Marlon, so I hope you listen close to how he analyzes what he’s doing out in the field.
In addition to hunting, Marlon also takes clients out to capture fine art photography. Some of the same techniques that he uses in hunting can be translated over into the work he does capturing landscape vistas and natural settings.
Putting down big mule deer bucks with a longbow is some next level stuff. We debate compound bow versus longbow, and why some hunters decide to challenge themselves by switching between the two. 2020 was wild, but we’re both hopeful that 2021 is going to be a great year with some good hunts planned.
What’s Inside:
What kind of tempo should you bring into a hunt, and how do you figure it out?
Once you become a true student of understanding how you can move and what sounds you can make, then you start to change how you approach a buck.
What can you actually do with a compound bow?

Ranch Fairy Troy Fowler
Show Notes:
This is my second year running guided hunts in South Dakota on land that I lease, and I love it because it’s one of the most magical places to hunt. You can do it all here; you can stand hunt them, call them in, or whatever you want. I’m talking with my good friend Troy Fowler today about bowhunting, including broadhead arrows, and where the best place to take a shot is.
There are some differences between gut shots for both guns and bows, and understanding some basic animal physiology can help you understand what happens when you hit an animal in the gut. Troy explains some of the problems around this shot, and what hunters really need to expect.
If you like an arrow, you can start with that and then fine tune it with the bow. I talk about some of the magical stuff, like twists, that I like to do to my bows to get it to feel right in my hands. A lot of people think that one broadhead shoots like another, but arrows, and especially carbon arrows can be very finicky. Sometimes hunters talk about the weight without the proper perspective. 437 grains are only an ounce, and it’s not really that heavy. But it’s amazing what happens when you start tinkering with the weight.
Broadhead arrows either remain in a static state, or they erode. They don’t get sharper when they hit the bone. Troy thinks you should beef up the broadhead because that’s what hits the animal. On the other hand, I have a different perspective because I’m thinking about flight and drag and everything else. I’ve been experimenting with arrows, and I’m going to share what I’ve discovered about this.
Bows don’t kill deer; arrows do. That means they have to survive the shot. We’re going to share what we’ve found works as far as arrows go, and we’ll also cover some of our techniques for improving on the ready-made designs.
What’s Inside:
The greatest risk of a quartering two shot.
Why I love hunting in South Dakota
How the physiology of the animal will play a part in the hunt.
We discuss in depth our favorite kind of arrows, and why they’re so important in the hunt.

Ranch Fairy
Short Description:
How easy is bowhunting? Well, that depends on how successful you want to be. I’m talking with Troy Fowler from the Ranch Fairy about all of the factors that go into a good bow hunt, starting with the arrows you choose and ending with why you need to consider the physiology of the deer when you take your shot.
