    Ivy Insights

    The Beyond the Kill podcast is an exceptional podcast that delves into the world of hunting with honesty, passion, and expertise. Hosted by Adam Janke and part of the Journal of Mountain Hunting platform, this podcast leaves no stone unturned when it comes to providing valuable information and engaging content for hunters.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the delivery and content. The hosts, Adam Janke and his team, have a great conversational style that keeps listeners engaged and entertained throughout each episode. They tackle a wide range of topics related to hunting, from gear reviews to tactics and strategies, location recommendations, and even discussions on conservation and ethics. The guests they bring on are diverse and offer unique insights into various aspects of hunting. Whether you're a seasoned hunter or just starting out, there is something for everyone in this podcast.

Listeners can expect to gain practical knowledge that they can use in their own hunts. The hosts think outside the box and provide real-deal information that sets them apart from others in the industry.

    However, one potential downside could be that some episodes may not relate to all listeners.

With its engaging delivery style, diverse guest lineup, and detailed content, it is a must-listen for anyone interested in improving their hunting skills or simply enjoying stories from fellow hunters. This podcast sets itself apart by providing valuable insights and practical knowledge that can be applied in the field.

This is the time of year when the upcoming season's hunting plans are being solidified and/or planned with more and more enthusiasm so, this is a worthwhile listen, regardless of whether you caught it last year or not.   How do you navigate the demands of work, family, and hunting when trying to make the best decision possible?  How do you plan and prepare for tags that may yet be drawn?  How do you decide between investing in your skills or spending money on new gear?   How do you use the next six-plus months to get the most out of whatever trip or trips you're planning for 2025?  And finally, how do you make sure you're actually following your own personal goals and aspirations and not just drifting around at the mercy of whatever is being hyped on the socials?  All this and more is covered in this episode.  NOTABLE GUEST QUOTES:  “If I put a gun to your head and you can only pick one, what is it?”  @mindful_hunter   ---------------------------  SUPPORT WILD SHEEP:  Go to Wild Sheep Foundation to find a membership option that suits your budget and commitment to wild sheep.  DEALS & OFFERS:  OnX Maps is now available in Canada!

    It's looking like this year's black bear season will get an early start in terms of snowmelt and green up, at least in BC, so with this in mind, we dug up an episode from last spring where Nolan and fellow mountain guide Jared Christon discuss all things black bears. If you're getting the itch to get out and chase these fascinating critters, there's plenty in this episode for you.  @nmo  @canadian_black_bear_taxidermy  ---------------------------  SUPPORT WILD SHEEP:  Go to Wild Sheep Foundation to find a membership option that suits your budget and commitment to wild sheep.  DEALS & OFFERS:  OnX Maps is now available in Canada!

    Well, it seems like spring has finally arrived and that means it's time to start getting serious about this season's hunt prep. Meaning, you should be dialling back the strength focused workouts and introducing more rucking or running. With this, low back pain can be a common complaint. The lower abdominals are key to a pain free low back so, in this (reposted) episode, Wardo explains how to train and assess them, and get that low back ready for the backcountry.  @drmattwarddc    @hardyardsperformance  ---------------------------  SUPPORT WILD SHEEP:  Go to Wild Sheep Foundation to find a membership option that suits your budget and commitment to wild sheep.  DEALS & OFFERS:  OnX Maps is now available in Canada!

But like many that find hunting later in life, Josh has fully committed himself to this lifestyle.  Josh shares a number of hunting stories, including his first elk hunt out west in BC, as well as his perspective on where the community is at, what it's like getting started, the challenges of finding trustworthy mentors and advice, and how he thinks about interacting with non-hunters.  @cariboumediaoutdoors  ---------------------------  SUPPORT WILD SHEEP:  Go to Wild Sheep Foundation to find a membership option that suits your budget and commitment to wild sheep.  DEALS & OFFERS:  OnX Maps is now available in Canada!

      On this show, Adam is joined by Adam C. from CTOMS Inc., a Canadian veteran owned company focused on providing the highest level of training and education for dealing with emergency medical/trauma situations, whether that be in the tactical space, the backcountry, or day to day life.  Mountain and backcountry hunters face unique risks when heading afield. Standard first aid training only gets us so far, and more advanced wilderness first aid or first responder courses are excellent, but don't address some of the potentially serious, and even fatal, injuries that backcountry hunters may have to deal with.  Enter CTOMS and their phenomenal online training platform. This is an area we can ALL pay more attention to.  @ctomsinc  ---------------------------  SUPPORT WILD SHEEP:  Go to Wild Sheep Foundation to find a membership option that suits your budget and commitment to wild sheep.  DEALS & OFFERS:  OnX Maps is now available in Canada!
