Days In The Wild - Big game Hunting podcast

Title: What is the Point of Arizona’s Trail Camera Ban? 
My take: This is over simplified but I feel that AZGFD should place a season on trail cameras from Aug 10th – Nov 27th  on all trail cameras directly placed on or trails leading to (250 yds away or more)  water sources and allow trail cameras everywhere else like pinch points, travel corridors, saddles etc. The main we are having is a people problem in the high profile hunting areas 13a&b, 9 etc. and the main issue is that guys are checking cameras without regard for fellow hunters who may be sitting that water. The guys running cameras in the south desert units are not having these issues and the guys running cameras off water sources are not having these issues.  Don’t punish the whole state for these albeit high profile but isolated areas.  We can solve this issue with a compromise that both benefits the hunter and the animals. 
Show Notes:
If a sportsman doesn’t understand a rule, then they’re not going to follow it, says Kip Adams from the National Deer Association. We sit down and talk about the different ways hunters and wildlife biologists use trail cameras, and how the Arizona trail camera ban addresses both a social and a scientific problem. What I really want to know is: Is it really going to make a positive difference on wildlife conservation?
 
I didn’t get serious about using a trail camera until the early 2000s, but I just mostly used them for scouting and inventory. I wanted to see what was out there. There are already rules regarding Will Call Hunting, which says that you can’t run dogs and tree a lion, and then go get a client to come shoot the lion. But in the spirit of Fair Chase, do trail cameras give an unfair advantage to hunters?
 
There are at least five other states that have restrictions on trail cameras too. Kip gives me an outside perspective on how other states are dealing with cell phone pictures and cameras. My concern is that if every hunting issue is dealt with state by state, hunters’ rights will be chipped away in every state because we won’t see the bigger picture. We’ll think that turkey hunting in Wyoming doesn’t have anything to do with us.
What’s Inside:
3 out of 4 hunters are hunting some species of deer, but they’re not working together on deer-related policy issues.
Is there an issue with the amount of human traffic on the trail that’s making it harder for the animals?
How Kip uses trail cameras in his work as a wildlife biologist.

Short Description:
For an outsider’s perspective on the Arizona trail camera ban, I talked to Kip Adams from Pennsylvania. With a background in wildlife biology, and as an avid hunter himself, Kip understands both hunters’ frustration with this ban and the concern of conservationists.

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.

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?
