You know who’s a badass? Caitlin Turner, that’s who. In today’s episode I have the privilege of meeting up with her at the No Limits Archery shop in Denver after spending the weekend catching the Alpha Bowhunting Challenge. I’ve never met someone who’s life, and story, sound so much like my own, but I truly felt connected with Caitlin and know so many others will be able to relate to her and her journey. From her path through some dark times, to overcoming and finding her way, she's had a little bit of it all. Together we recap the ABC event in Eagle, and what goes into the Alpha challenge, as well as online the course and what you can expect if you come to an event to participate, or spectate. I highly suggest both! Caitlins passion for learning, becoming the best version of herself, and rolling through life beside other strong people in the bowhunting community was a breath of fresh air, and something I definitely want to be a part of. Listen in, and be sure to check out the Alpha Bowhunting Challenge. Connect with Caitlin on Instagram and on Facebook.
On Episode 4 of the Her Inspired Journey Podcast I sit down and chat with Dayna Monroe about just that - finding her way, becoming a hunter, and learning to love herself through it all. "One of the most important things I've learned as a woman is to embrace what you are, and love who you are. The world will tell you that you need to change something to be loved or accepted, but that's not the case. Women are phenomenal, strong human beings that can conquer anything! Don't apologize for what you enjoy in life either. We are all queens and we need to lift each other up instead of tearing down one another. Love!" Dayna grew up in a family that hunted but outside of her love for being outside she never really got the "hunting bug", until much later in life. As young men and women growing up we all have the opportunity to be exposed to different aspects of life - some of those things we learn to love, and others, well, just fall off the radar. Years later, after watching her family and friends hunt and not sharing the same passion for it Dayna has circled back around and now lives and breathes for archery hunting. On this episode we share success and failures along the way, and get to hear more of her journey for providing organic wild game to live a healthier and happier life. Having recently made the biggest move of her life, from her home town of Monroe, Utah to Colorado she is beginning a new journey and finding her way. Dayna works at KIFARU International as an intricate part of the team, and is always doing her best to help men and women prepare for their next adventure. You can also find Dayna in the heat of competition enjoying Alpha Bowhunting competitions, or pushing herself up "fire road" for a good sweat before she begins her day. I loved Daynas response when I asked her, "what do you wish you could go back and tell your younger self?" She said, "If I could give my younger self some advice it would be to do more hard things. I loved challenging myself physically, but I always struggled with getting out of my shell. I was so shy! Looking back it really limited me on the experiences I could have had." No matter what part of the journey you are on right now it is time to take your next challenge head on and fall in love with your life. You can find Dayna on Instagram: @dayna_monroe or @kifar_intl & Facebook: Dayna Monroe you can see more of KIFARU International here. Time to let those "big ideas" come to life!

Today on Gritty, my guest is my good friend Phil Mendoza and our topic is Targeting Buck Fever. Phil is a stud. Period. Not just because he’s an incredible hunter, archer, Train To Hunt champion, owner of Alpha Bowhunting and the Alpha Bowhunting Challenge and not because he’s the owner of the biggest archery shop in Denver; although that resume pretty sick. No, Phil is a stud because of his character. “The best index to a person's character is how he treats people who can't do him any good, and how he treats people who can't fight back.” ― Abigail Van Buren And that quote about sums up Phil and why I like him so much. He’s been a guest on the podcast before. Early on, when I started the Gritty Bowmen podcast, Phil and Aron Snyder went on an Epic Big Horn Sheep hunt and Aron tells the story on GB EPISODE 24 and 30. More recently, Phil was a guest on episode 255 where he and our friends from Fit 4 The Hunt talked about Physical Conditioning and The Mental Game--those have been popular episodes and if you’ve never listened them, I recommend you check them out. Phil wrote a booklet, not too long ago, that he titles Targeting Buck Fever. Every hunter, every archer has struggled at one time or another with Buck Fever. The urban dictionary defines buck fever as, “nervousness felt by novice hunters when they first sight game.” Which is absolute rubbish because buck fever can affect both new and experienced hunters. When the stakes are high, when you’re on that once-in-a-lifetime hunt, when it’s the last hour of the last day, when the buck of your dreams presents a last second shot, buck fever can wreck you. So how do you rise to occasion, hold your mud, and crush that shot? Well, that’s the discussion that Phil and I have on today’s podcast. It’s good stuff. Take a listen and if you like what you hear, do me a favor and link up with Phil on his Alpha Bowhunting Instagram and Youtube Channels and checkout his book on Amazon. As always, thanks for tuning in to Gritty and making this show possible.
