Blacktail Hunting in the Pacific Northwest with Nathan Endicott
Show Notes:
 
Nate Endicott and I sit down for a chat about blacktail hunting in the Pacific Northwest. He’s also hunted mule deer in Arizona a couple of times. We talk about the rapid changes to hunting in Arizona if you’re out of state, especially when it comes to getting a tag. Even though I advocated for it, it’s not the best system, and it has an impact on my guiding business. We also chat about how things go up north in Oregon, where Nate is.
 
I hunted in Washington last year during the blacktail rut, and Nate and I talk about late season deer hunting in Oregon. Washington and Oregon are similar, but there’s less opportunity in Washington. You could also get an all season tag every other year, so it all depends. If you’re a non-resident, it’s more expensive. Nate walks through the tag process for deer hunting, and we get into when the peak of the rut is for blacktail.
 
Nate and I talk about deer behavior on the west coast and how it’s different and similar to the east. In some areas, there’s a lot of private ground, and Nate maps out the geography and where the deer population hangs out. We talk about how to use deer behavior to your benefit, how our experience over the years has made us better hunters, and why hunters need to band together. We wrap up by chatting about Nate’s favorite habitat to score blacktail bucks, the three factors that contribute to his success, and Nate’s favorite blacktail deer hunting story.
 
What’s Inside:
 
What the tag process for deer hunting is like in Washington and Oregon.
Deer behavior on the west coast. 
Nate’s favorite blacktail deer hunting story.

How to extend your hunting lifespan Linden Loren throwback

Relating Health and Hunting, Linden Loren and James Fitzgerald
 
Show Notes:
Without health, there is no hunting. Linden Loren and James Fitzgerald join me to discuss how our health affects hunting capabilities in season and our day-to-day life off season. James is a returning guest; I really lean on him for all things fitness. Linden is owner of ANION Outdoors and author of his upcoming book; Your Hunting Healthspan: 73 Ways Hunters Can Age Better & Prevent Disease. 
 
The intent of Linden’s work is to positively impact the hunting community, both in the off-season and in-season. Linden gets his inspiration in part from the passing of his father when he was 18. His dad was a hunter, whose lifestyle choices whittled down his health. His hope is that he can inspire self-awareness in hunters, in that if I do more things in the favor of my health then I can do more of the hobby I love. 
 
The better in shape we get not just physically, but mentally and spiritually, the more we understand that these are things we are able to do and can even make our hunt better. As hunters and people, we want to reach our highest human potential. This is something we can all agree on, but what does this look like? Linden says that this means moving into a mindset of prevention. This causes  health results to build momentum. When people are feeling great all of the time, they are more likely to make healthier choices.
 
Start evaluating yourself, How do you feel? How is your mood? Get a foundation and a starting point. Really reflect on how you’re maximizing your minute. Are you putting in the effort in your relationships? Get a baseline of what your day to day is, and ask yourself truthfully: Do I think these things are working? When you’re more aware, and you realize how these practices came to be, this is where  positive change will happen. 
 
As a guy who has been trying to integrate health into this world. It’s kind of like hitting a brick wall. The main obstacle is to get the hunter to realize what you’re selling them. What hunters want and need is the silver bullet, this perfect answer to, how can I fix this? Linden’s book and philosophy are taking steps to get those answers into the hunter’s hands.
What’s Inside:
Health and Hunting.
How are your health and lifestyle choices affecting your hunt?
Your Hunting Healthspan.
Helping hunters make their health a priority.

Broadheads and Arrow Flight Testing with Iron Will Bill

 Broadheads and Arrow Flight Testing with Iron Will Bill
Show Notes:
 
Bill Vanderheyden (or Iron Will Bill, as I like to call him) is the co-founder of Iron Will Outfitters, which is known for its fantastic broadheads. Here, we talk all about arrow flight and some of the testing Bill’s done recently. Hopefully, this information will help you develop your own system when it comes to knowing what to shoot. We kick things off with a recap of some of Bill’s recent hunting trips, including turkey, pigs, and bears.
 
Bill’s reason for testing arrow flight is that there’s not a lot of current research out there. Most of it’s on target archery, and the aerodynamics change quite a bit when you put a fixed blade broadhead on the front. With the right arrow and bow set up, you can get these broadheads to fly a decent distance, but it is a challenge since they’re way less forgiving. Bill talks about sponsoring a university project where he can eliminate his bias and have researchers look at different designs and how well they perform. He also shares the six factors they looked at during testing.
 
Bill and I talk about what to use to improve your own performance out on the hunt. When you build arrows, it’s important to have a starting point, and we talk about how to build the best arrow. Bill also shares, from start to finish, how he builds his own arrows. We chat about how to tune your bow, the results of Bill’s recent studies, and his plans for how to improve for the future.
 
What’s Inside:
 
Results from Bill’s recent arrow flight testing.
Bill’s arrow building process.
Tips for enhancing performance.

Elk season with Jermaine Hodge

Elk season with Jermaine Hodge
Show Notes:
 
I’m catching up with my friend Jermaine Hodge, and we kick things off by talking about summer hunting plans. I’m headed up to hunt elk in Idaho, and Jermaine is as well. It's a tough country to get into, and Jermaine’s planning a trip with two other world champions—watch out, elk! They’re going in with three tags and 15 days to get it done, so they’re going to go for it. Jermaine’s also going to spend some time hunting late season elk in Colorado.
 
You can’t guarantee success on a hunt, but it’s all about the experience. Some people look down on those who go out with guides and outfitters, but you don’t realize how much is still in their hands. Jermaine and I talk about the value of going out with a guide. Jermaine also drew a cow moose tag in Colorado, and he’s excited to fill his freezer up. We also talk about some of the expos Jermaine’s looking forward to and the competitions and contests going on there.
 
Jermaine has a couple of great elk stories, and he shares all the details here. Elk season can be a total grind, and he shares a story from a trip he went on with his wife in 2009. On day one, they both made a kill. At the end of the season, Jermaine’s good friend still had a tag to fill, and he talks about how they got the job done. We also talk about late season hunts and share some stories from those hunts as well.
 
What’s Inside:
 
Our summer hunting plans.
The value of hunting with a guide or outfitter.
Jermaine’s elk hunting stories.

High-powered Elk Calling with Beau Brooks

High-powered Elk Calling with Beau Brooks
Show Notes:
 
Two-time world champion Beau Brooks has been staying busy and working hard on his new business, Riven. His company sells top-quality elk instruments, like bugle tubes and mouth calls. Beau grew up on the West Coast hunting in Washington and Oregon and says he’ll shoot whatever walks in, unlike his dad, who’s a big bull hunter. He guides a couple of hunts a year, and archery is his passion. Beau loves to call elk and doesn’t have to let the arrow fly to have a good time.
 
Beau and I have a conversation about his all-wood bugle tube, which intrigues me. He started out building calls as a teenager and experimenting with materials about six or seven years ago. He tried out several materials, like aluminum, but nothing worked as well as wood. Beau and a friend wound up making a prototype out of maple that didn’t look too great but sounded amazing. It was tough trying to make it all work, but they tweaked the design a bit more until it was perfect. Beau even wound up winning Worlds with it!
 
I asked Beau some tactical questions, including what he’s going to do differently this year versus last year’s hunts. He’s changing it up by heading to new places, like the Southern Oregon coast, and plans on relying on glassing more than he usually does. We also talk about what Beau does when things are slow, but he knows elk are hanging around. Beau also shares tips on how to change your call techniques when you’re not getting a response and how to handle bulls that bugle but then move around. 
 
What’s Inside:
 
All about Beau’s new business and his high-quality calls.
How Beau created his all-wood bugle tube.
Elk calling and hunting tips.

Lessons Learned with Joe Eppele

Hunting Media, Argentina, and Hunting Lessons Learned with Joe Eppele
Show Notes:
 
Former pro athlete Joe Eppele joins me here to share some epic hunting stories. He grew up in a logging town up in British Columbia and got into fishing at an early age. As Joe got older, his love of the outdoors took a bit of a backseat when he decided to pursue a football career. He started out at Washington State, then got drafted in the CFL. Once he retired, he became the Director of Business Development and a co-host for Wild TV, which is Canada’s largest hunting and outdoor TV network. Joe and I get into the evolution of the hunting media industry and where it is today.
 
Joe and I talk about our favorite gear, and we even wear the same boots and pants! We also both got stuck in Argentina right when COVID hit, and we talk about that whole ordeal. Joe also shares a couple of hunting stories, starting with his most memorable. Sheep season’s right around the corner, and last year he had a pretty wild trip in northern BC. One morning, he saw a bunch of young rams, with a couple of legal ones in the mix. It was a day and a half's hike to get in, and he was only with a cameraman. Since it was only the two of them, hauling the ram he got on the way out was a whole process.
 
Then, Joe shares a story of a hunt that taught him a lot about preparedness in the backcountry. He and his crew went in hard during an elk hunt and had some close calls with some bulls. One day, they woke up early to hike up a faraway mountain. They had planned on it only being a day, but they wound up in a nasty spot. They ate all of their food and drank all of their water to plan for the hike back out, but a bull chirped up, so they decided to wait. Just before last light, Joe gets a perfect shot on him at last light. They contacted their camp, and they showed up with a bottle of whisky. The story gets better from there.
What’s Inside:
 
How the hunting media industry and social media have changed over the years.
Stories about getting stuck in Argentina over Covid.
Two of Joe’s most memorable hunting stories.
