EP 169 – Culture, Conservation, and Hunting Rights with Mike Duplan
Mike is known for killing big mule deer but more importantly, Mike also has a very strong voice for conservation and hunting rights. Given the climate we are in right now and all the battles we are facing for our hunting rights across North America I wanted to have Mike on to get his thoughts and advice.

EP 167 – Trade Show Wrap Up with Leighton Garfield @glass_half_full_outdoors
Monday Mar 11, 2024
Monday Mar 11, 2024
Chill episode this week as I sit down with my buddy Leighton who gave me a hand at the booth during the WSSBC Mountain Hunting Expo this year. We go over the show and just have a general catchup about gear and hunting. Leighton is one of those super solid quiet dudes I’ve got to know through hunting and gear reviews and I hope to get him on more episodes. He’s one of the only dudes I know who runs as much different gear as I do.

EP 166 – The Challenges of Growth with Brian Call
Monday Mar 04, 2024
Monday Mar 04, 2024
One of the first podcasts I discovered when I was getting into backcountry hunting was Gritty Bowmen. It was a brand-new podcast hosted by Brian Call. It was one of the most impactful shows on both my development as a hunter and the type of hunting I ended up pursuing. Brian played a large role in my fascination with bow-hunting elk in the rut and self-filming. I was not expecting this conversation to get as deep as it did, but I personally took a lot away from it that is very applicable to where I am at in my own journey right now and I hope you can as well.

EP 164 – Coastal Ghosts with Steve Isdahl @proguide66
Tuesday Feb 27, 2024
Tuesday Feb 27, 2024
I have wanted to sit down with Steve since I started this podcast. His app was one of the main sources of information that helped me kill my first solo blacktail in the mountains. We covered a ton of ground on this one and Steve held nothing back. It was a privilege and an honour and I know you will find some value in this episode.
