This episode brings you debatably the coolest pronghorn antelope hunt I've ever done... recorded in the field, while hunting solo on public land. I don't like the word "primitive" so I'll use the term "traditional" to describe my equipment: My rifle was a 1780s-style flintlock muzzleloader charged with blackpowder and a patched round ball.  The stars lined up and I was blessed with a 106-yard opportunity on a great buck. Candidly, I'd planned to take any ethical shot opportunity on any mature buck. Instead, I had a shot at the second biggest antelope I've ever hunted. Sitting deep in the sagebrush, my rifle supported by Spartan Precision Equipment's marvelous quad shooting sticks, I squeezed the double-set trigger. The flash of priming powder and the report of the rifle were nearly simultaneous, and through the cloud of blackpowder smoke I saw that .50-caliber, 170-grain round ball literally flatten the buck.  I love antelope meat, I love solo hunting on public land, I love God's country and cherish the privilege of hunting... and right now I really love my flintlock rifle!  ENJOY!    FRIENDS, PLEASE SUPPORT THE PODCAST!  Join the Backcountry Hunting Podcast tribe and get access to all our bonus content on www.patreon.com/backcountry  Check out our new "recommended outfitters" hunt booking agency! We're super excited about this venture that allows us to share our favorite destinations around the world with our loyal listeners.

This week on the Mindful Hunter Podcast, I dive into the controversy surrounding hunting influencer Ryan Lampers and the recent wildlife violation charges filed against him. We'll break down: - The details of the allegations (mule deer, mountain lion, wolf)  - What this means for hunters, conservation, and the companies who partnered with him  - Why integrity, responsibility, and transparency matter in the hunting community    ⚠️ Important: These are only allegations — Ryan has not been convicted of anything. This discussion is about principles, ethics, and the bigger picture of hunting culture.    I also cover your Q&A questions on gear, elk hunting strategy, backpacks, bullet choice, and more.

The episode is filled with valuable lessons on maintaining focus, learning from mistakes, team collaboration, and the significance of pushing one's limits. 

Send us a textCALL TO ACTION DEADLINE: September 15, 2025www.blueribboncoalition.org/hammersHost Big Rich Klein sits down with BlueRibbon Coalition's Ben Burr and longtime Johnson Valley advocate Shannon Welch to unpack a fast-moving proposal that could reshape recreation at the Hammers. The U.S. Marine Corps has requested permanent Special Use Airspace (SUA) over Johnson Valley—from the ground up to 8,000 feet—split into four corridors (A–D). While framed as limited use, the Environmental Assessment (EA) seeks a permanent designation via the FAA, not a temporary, training-only restriction.What's at stake - Medevac and search-and-rescue flights for everyday users, not just races - Backcountry aviation, personal drones, and private landowners (20,000 acres impacted) - Commercial filming/testing (e.g., Ford), ranching operations, and year-round OHV access - The integrity of a Congressionally Designated OHV Area and its $71M local economic impact. A precedent of closure-by-airspace has been seen at White Sands and Yuma Proving Ground.Community action - Comment deadline: September 15 - Submit via blueribboncoalition.org/hammers – Blue Ribbon guarantees your comments will be shared. Share widely with your OHV, aviation, ranching, and local business networksKey points - EA claims “no significant impact,” but provides no enforceable safeguards - Marines told some stakeholders “60 days/year,” yet the EA seeks permanent SUA – Blue Ribbon's reasonable alternative: a 1,500-foot buffer from ground/elevation to protect civilian useSupport the show

Dave and Nephi provide a high level overview of the history of the Roadless Rule; activities it allows and disallows; the unique status of Colorado and Idaho; the importance of Roadless areas to wildlife; the importance of roads to firefighting;  what the proposal actually does; how to provide comments; and whether there's a middle ground.

Takahē were believed to be extinct not once, but twice. Today their population is just over 500 – still not a huge number, but big enough that new homes are needed for these flightless manu. The latest area to welcome takahē is the upper Whakatipu – in particular, the stunning Rees Valley. But threats remain and keeping on top of predator numbers is key for this comeback bird to survive and thrive in their new home.Sign up to the Our Changing World monthly newsletter for episode backstories, science analysis and more.Guests:Chrissy Becker-Fifield, Southern Lakes Sanctuary.Additional thanks to Glen Greaves of DOC's takahē recovery programme for background information.Also mentioned: the Routeburn Dart Wildlife Trust.Learn more:Read this episode's article: Backcountry takahē make a comeback.November 2023 marked the 75th anniversary of the second time takahē were ‘rediscovered'.

Vi träffas i studion och pratar igenom Björnjakten med Dan Persson, hur har det gått? Sköter sig jägarna? Hur mårhunden?`Svar i podden. Vi pratar också med Svenska Jägareförbundets Kommunikationschef, Magnus Rydholm, om säkerhet på pass. Skjutriktningar, kulfång, passröjniong och mycket mer avhandlas. Vi berättar ocksåp att Outdoor Enterprise är ny sponsor i podden, vilket betyder ny ammunition för både Erik och Kristian samt att Erik uppgraderar sin trotjänare SAKO 80 Black Bear - till vad? lyssna in podden. Kristian pratar också om senaste veckornas största snackis bland guntubers, Federals nya kaliber 7mm Backcountry. En kaliber som likt SigSauers .277 Fury utvecklar ett tryuck om hela 80.000 PSI, att jämför med 6.5.x55 som ligger på ca 52.000 PSI. Det ger en mängd fördelar och spännande prestanda. Kommer hypen att förbandlas till en ny och utbredd kaliber, eller blir det en kortlivad fluga sombart en klick entusiaster använder? Det får framtiden utvisa. Erik bjuder också på en härligt uppfriskande Gissa Djuret, med asiatisk touch flankerad av en Tjeckisk öl med klassisk smak.   

In this episode that the guys recorded a month ago and Dave forgot to publish, Dave and Nephi discuss a recent effort to use the Congressional Review Act to repeal three BLM Respurce Management Plans, and the unintended consequences of such action. They also discuss why hunters are so important to achieving positive conservation outcomes, why influencers can play an important role in achieving the goals, and why we need to keep recruiting new hunters into the ranks. At least, that's we we think we discussed--I mean--we recorded this a month ago. 

Safari hunting, conservation, and family hunting traditions from squirrels to elk are key topics of this wonderful interview with Dallas Safari Club CEO Rob McCanna.

Imagine cruising down an endless highway with Laid Back & Honey with the windows rolled down, a warm breeze flowing through the cab of your well-loved pickup. That's the essence of this music—it's like a sonic mashup without ties to any fixed genre.

It's raw and authentic; every strum seems to tell its own story of long nights and open roads, where the only rule is to embrace freedom. These tunes don't need fancy labels or highbrow classifications—they thrive in their organic blend of sounds that harken back to simpler times while making space for modern influences.

Harrison Schoen (@harrisonschoen) made his name living in a Porsche Cayenne and sharing raw, honest stories from the road. But it was a moment on national television—walking away from a $1,000,000 prize on MrBeast's Beast Games—that cemented his ethos: some experiences are worth more than money. In this episode, we explore Harrison's background, why he chooses the harder path, and how storytelling, travel, and self-reliance shape his approach to life. We also discuss his latest project—a Unimog build for a Pan-American journey—and what it means to stay rooted in travel, not trends.

Backpacks are one of the most critical—and most personal—pieces of gear a hunter can own.

From their unique carbon fiber frame to their obsession with comfort, durability, and function, these guys don't cut corners. We dig into pack fit, load hauling, design evolution, and why they believe your pack shouldn't break you before the mountain does.

As everyone knows, Sen. Lee's public land sales provision was pulled from the Reconciliation bill at the last moment, giving public lands champions a big win. However, this wasn't the first, nor will it be the last attempt to sell public lands. What led to this effort, and what can we do to quash it in the future? In a two part series, Dave and Nephi dive into those questions, and more. Part 1 focuses on the history of public lands, including the acquisition of lands, disposal of lands, conditions for admission of states to the Union, reserving lands for various purposes, ending homesteading, why we have so much public land in the west, and what sorts of events led to a desire to sell public lands. In Part II, the guys will discuss the future of public lands, and possible solutions to turn down the temperature. 

This awesome episode gets below the veneer that is luxurious Africa... Deep into the gritty stories that expose the warm, friendly, but sometimes violent heart of the Dark Continent. We talk favorite areas and species to hunt in Africa, best tools for the task (rifles, cartridges, and bullets), and how to bring an attitude geared for success on safari. Plus, Andy shares his story of an incredible charge by a wounded leopard, which he killed literally as it sprung on him.
