To my surprise, there has been a ton of interest in my journey of switching to a left-handed bow. Instead of answering messages, I put this episode together.
After almost 20 years shooting my bow right-handed, I made the call to switch. I'm very much left-eyed dominant, right-handed, and have always lacked confidence in my ability with a bow. Unlike rifle shooting which I still do right-handed, something was off when it came to archery. I discuss the process, the switch, and the results.
Then, I dive into some fundemental mountain whitetail hunting on public lands. November is here, and this is a fantastic time to be in the woods to chase whitetail. Learn what I've done that has notched tags, some consistencies I've found, and some key strategies that pay dividends in the field. Enjoy!

Kevin returns to Montana to join me in Idaho for a bear hunt. This business we left unfinished last June was nagging at both of us, and although we didn't find any bears worth shooting, it was an amazing time.
In this episode, we recap the hunt, talk self reliance and how it ties into hunting, discussed some basic preparedness topics, and tease some courses we have in mind for next year. I always thoroughly enjoy having Kevin here for a hunt, his insight and character are educational and world class! Definetely don't miss this one friends!

Cable Smith, host of the Lone Star Outdoor Show, hunter, family man, and a great mind to have on our side joins me this week from Texas.
Cable and I discuss a few hunting adventures, then dive right into some hot political topics of the day. We talk about how the anti-hunting movement is a product of the political left and why hunters need to be not just aware, but involved in todays political issues. They effect all of us, and the future of hunting will be greatly impacted by what happens on November 5th, 2024. Make sure you register to vote this election cycle. Unless you're pulling the trigger for Kamala which is a vote to destroy our freedom to hunt.

I've been kicking around the idea of doing a School of October to help out our rifle hunters out there. I couldn't think of anyone better to kick this off than Fonzy! He is a guide, lifelong hunter, Wyoming Native, and outfitting manager at one of the premier outfitters in Northeast Wyoming, Four Horse Outfitters. With most of the archery hunts coming to a close, it's time to focus on those rifle and muzzleloader hunts coming this Fall and as always, Fonzy delivers!

Well here we are! The final School of September episode of 2024!
One of my favorite people, also a listener favorite, we close out this SOS season with none other than Dirk Durham. A man who needs little introduction, a dude that every hunter can learn from, and a guy I'm proud to call a friend.
In this episode, Dirk and I dive into some "out-of-the-box" type calling techniques that can make a big difference on uncooperative bulls and bulls that get hung up out of range. Don't miss this episode! May your arrows hit their mark, good luck this September friends!

Return guest, Mike Edgehouse, is a professor of anatomy and biology at Lewis Clark College, hunter, meat expert, mobile butcher, and founder of the Cutrite Mobile App that should live on every hunters phone.

You School of September Scholars have a higher chance of putting an elk on the ground, so I thought it prudent to continue the discussion on how to get the most out of your kill. From meat care to butchering to recipes, we go all in on this episode from perhaps one of the most passionate wild game meat experts I've ever had the pleasure to call a friend.
DO NOT make the mistake of not getting the Cutrite Mobile App. It will walk you through all the steps to honor your kill and pack your freezer with the healthiest meat on the planet. Get it HERE.

Bradley Dammerman is the owner/operator of Idaho Whitetail Guides and one hell of an American hunter.
In this episode, Bradley and I dive into early to late season elk calling. Bradley describes a unique calling technique with an elk shed you have to listen to. We go from week one September into mid-October calling. Elk ebb and flow with the season, Bradley drops some serious take-aways from his years as a guide that you will surely want to stow away in that knowledge toolbox.
Bradley is, simply put, one helluva human that puts his money where his mouth is. I really enjoy having him on the show. Every hunter out there could benefit from his years of experience and humble nature, don't miss this one folks.

Mike Herne is a career soldier in the U.S. Army, hunter, writer, and hunting gear guru working with Kifaru and Born Primitive Outdoors. He's also a fantastic American and I was super happy to have him on the show.
In this episode, Mike and I discuss his journey as a soldier and Western big-game hunter. We talk about the military, Kifaru packs, Born Primitive gear, elk hunting, whitetail hunting, and he shares his thoughts on some of the Colorado issues facing hunters. Mike is a world-class hunter and super dialed in to the lifestyle of the hunting community. In short, he brings a ton of value to this discussion. Missing this episode would be a tragedy, so don't do it!

Joel Swecker is a firefighter, taxidermist, writer, hunter, and American family man. He is a return guest and joins me this week for April's installment of the School of September.
We spend a lot of time discussing how to locate, call to, and strategically place a lethal arrow into an elk. We also gloss over what to do after an elk hits the ground. As the owner of one of the busiest taxidermy shops in Washington, Black River Taxidermy, Joel has seen and heard about a lot of mistakes hunters make when trying to keep the cape for a sweetass shoulder mount. In this discussion, we go into great detail about proper caping, skinning, meat care, butchering, and lots more of the little details that make a big difference once an animal is down. Joel knows his stuff as well as anyone with the added perspective of being a taxidermist. If you plan to notch a tag on a worthy wapiti this year, make sure you know how to get that bull off the mountain so your mount looks fantastic and saves you money!

Jase Groesbeck is a powerhouse of a man. He's a father, husband, and lifelong hunter who stands by his principles and beliefs.
In this episode, Jase and I bounce around from his upbringing as a hunter, to baiting bears, to a debate about what the future of hunting looks like were things to remain as they are now. Jase has balls of steel and is unashamed of who he is and what he stands for. As hunters, we are in desparate need of more folks that speak out like Jase does. I really enjoyed getting to know him and understanding his position, and I think you're going to like him as much as I do! Don't miss this episode.
