On this episode I'm in the shop of Nevada Taxidermy with my good friend Wayne Comstock. Taxidermy shops are like the bow shop. Often the local hangout and always full of stories, horns and racks.

In this episode of the Podcast I sit down with other Podcast host Brian Call from his Gritty Bowmen Podcast. This is the FIRST of FOUR episodes we recorded during a week long hunt together in Oklahoma. We talk about branding, marketing and business. But that's not all. My conversations seem to always turn to wildlife management, public land, being a good representative of the hunting culture and not being a Jack Ass to point out a few. Brian and I are far from perfect, but we have passion and a common goal in mind for the direction we choose to take our brands and represent the hunting community to those outside our friendship circles. Hunting is not just something we do. It is who we are. But we that doesn't mean we can just do and say as we please without a care for how others who don't share in our outdoor lifestyles perceive hunting. To them, hunting is what they see. So it is up to us to show hunting in a way that is more consumable to the non hunting voting class. Download Episode 013

On this episode Remi and I sit down and discus Bighorn Sheep. The conversation quickly turns to Wild or Feral Horses and the problems that they are causing top the recover and management efforts of the Bighorn Sheep in the West and Habitat management. Remi is very passionate about Bighorn Sheep. And that is why we work with and support groups like the Wild Sheep Foundation and Nevada Bighorns Unlimited. None of us want to see the Wild Horse get hurt, but we also don't want to see the Wild Sheep be overrun by an introduced Feral species either. The horses need to be managed. And right now the government and wild horse advocates do not have a management strategy. And for that, the horses, sheep, deer and other native species suffer. Download Episode 012

On this episode of the podcast I sit down once again with Remi Warren. We talk about a giant buck he shot in Montana and discuss some of his tricks for tracking game. Remi is fresh off his guiding season in Montana and is sharing stories from some of his hunts with clients and he shares his passion for sharing his experience and expertise with new hunters to help shorten their learning curve.
