Podcast appearances and mentions of guy duplantier

In this episode, Guy Duplantier, owner of Western Fly Covers, dives into the transformative power of hunting and the outdoors. The conversation explores personal life journeys, the importance of community, and the deep connections formed through shared experiences in nature. It also highlights how hunting can foster a certain respect for life and promote personal growth in helping to find meaning and purpose in life. 

Guy Duplantier is back! He is the host of the Western Contours Podcast, founder of Western Fly Covers and Western Hunt Fest, coach for ElkBros, and someone I consider a good friend.  In this School of September installment, we go back to the gear series and discuss everything from bow setups to snacks in our packs. Guy has forgotten more about hunting gear than I'll ever know, so his insight into what gear performs the best is unmatched. We talk about where to spend money versus where to skimp, best broadheads for total carnage, binos and optics, what we carry in our bino harness and daypacks, and a few key items every hunter should have from Western Fly Covers.

Preparation, readiness, and confidence are everything, especially on backcountry hunts. WSF recently became the title sponsor for the next three years of  Western Hunt Fest (WHF) events, and WSF's Women Hunt® program became the title sponsor of the women's division for the same period. WSF's Sheep Fever host Gray N. Thornton, and Women Hunt founder and chair Renée Thornton, visit with WHF co-owners Jeffrey DeVaul, Guy Duplantier, and Efren Gonzalez to discuss their motivations behind establishing this next-level archery shooting, fitness, and backpack challenge across Colorado, New Mexico, and Nevada this summer, as well as what shooters can expect. Archery hunting readiness has rightfully become a year-round pursuit. Giving bowhunters specialized events tailored for the type of shots and conditions they will encounter in the field elevates this preparation beyond just shooting foam in the backyard. Plus, friendly competition with like-minded hunters adds an element of community while helping duplicate the stress of making the shot count. 2024 Events: April 13-14 Raton, NM May 4-5 Palisade, CO May 25-26 Reno, NV June 1-2 Colorado Springs, CO June 27 Championship Baily, CO www.westernhuntfest.com

This week we listen in on the discussion recorded by Jim Huntsman of "The Western Huntsman Podcast" back in early March, continuing the "Is Hunting Conservation" themed discussion between Chris, Jim Huntsman, and Guy Duplantier of "The Western Contours Podcast. In this extremely fun "Part 4" of the discussion, the guys dive into: – Responses to critics; – Can sportsmen not learn from the mistakes of the past?; – The shifting "Overton Window" of sportsmen's issues; – Rallying around issues vs. our collective culture; – Putting the cost of sportsmen's "tags" into perspective; – Colorado Parks and Wildlife expenditures and where sportsman dollars go; – Where sportsmen can spend money for habitat; – What should sportsmen post on Social Media; – The importance of the "Neutral Middle"; and – Much more! Enjoy!

Chris and Guy are back as a part four of our Is Hunting Conservation series. As usual, these guys bring the thunder on some of the following topics in regards to the future of hunting: How the activists sunk their teeth into the Colorado wolf plan, how tag dollars are allocated and how they're not, how sportsmen organizations can step up, breaking down our sportsmen organization membership, what's considered bad press that hunters post to social media, and Jim's new TWHP ad for Chris and Guy...

Mike Costello is the host of the Hunting Ain't Easy Podcast, a hunter out of Northern California, and an advocate for hunting rights. Mike took some issue with the recent "Is Hunting Conservation" series I have been doing with Chris Roe and Guy Duplantier, which is part of our goal in doing the series. So I invited him back on the show to talk about it! After catching up, we discuss his reaction to the series, where he feels like we went wrong, and what he thinks hunters should focus on as solutions to the current battle for the future of hunting. He describes what he means with the term "Hunting is Human(e)" and what kind of messaging hunters should be sending to non-hunters. Hunting Ain't Easy on Instagram As hunters, I strongly believe a course correction is necessary to build public support for what we do. We are getting hammered in the court of public opinion and have completely lost control of the narrative. While some may think that I, personally, would have been turned off by Mike's criticism, I would strongly encourage them to understand that I welcome it when it comes to this topic. We had a robust conversation, and I respect Mike for coming on and laying his perspective out. I cerainly don't have the answer as to what we as a community need to do, it's going to take a collective of voices united against one common enemy. We may disagree on how we get there, but getting there is what's important. If you have a comment, question, or input on the premise of these conversations, please don't hesitate to email me. jim@thewesternhuntsman.com Check Out Eastmans Hunting Journals for more content!

Welcome to Episode 32 of The Hunting Stories Podcast!Today we connect with Guy Duplantier who is the host of the Western Contours podcast!Guy tells us two amazing stories. One which I cant believe could happen to a hunter, and the other straight from the Catalina Wine Mixer. Thank you to Guy and I hope you all enjoy.InstagramThe Hunting Stories PodcastWestern Contourshttps://www.westerncontours.com/Support the show

I'm baaaaaaaack.... I know, I know... it's been a while... BUT... It's time to get back in the saddle so-to-speak and jump back into the fray of podcasts regarding all sorts of pertinent issues – especially sportsman advocacy issues. We'll eventually talk about my 2022 elk season, this past deer season, etc... BUT... right before Christmas, Jim Huntsman of the Western Huntsman Podcast, asked if I'd be willing to be a part of a multi-part series podcast discussion exploring – essentially – my criticism of the #huntingisconservation sportsman advocacy movement, with Jim, myself, and Guy Duplantier of the Western Contours podcast. Of course I said yes. So....a few days before Christmas, we dove into "Part 1" of that discussion on the Western Huntsman's podcast, with the intent to continue that discussion on my podcast, as well as Western Contours. Well... here's Part 2 of that discussion. For the first part, folks need to go the Jim's podcast over at The Western Huntsman podcast and give it a listen. This... well, this is a "Part 2" of the topic, and for this discussion, we get a bit more organized, and a HELL of a lot more "RAW" with the conversation asking the question: IS hunting conservation? Give it a listen, and send us your feedback! ...the conversation will continue after this over on Guy Duplantier's "Western Contours" podcast in the near future.

Sometimes, all it takes is a conversation to set action in motion. This week, I bring on two legendary guests, Chris Roe and Guy Duplantier. Each with podcasts of their own, Chris and Guy have unique perspectives, and it's always a lively conversation. Our end-of-year Hunt Panel is full of piss and vinegar this time!   We quickly recap some recent hunting seasons, then jump right into issues facing hunters. Topics include hunting “influencers,” the woke culture circus, whether hunting is truly conservation, the reluctance for hunters to commit to change, wolf problems in Colorado, psychotic left-wing anti-hunting folks, and much more! Not one to miss, I hope it makes you think as much as it did me!   Chris Roe Instagram https://www.instagram.com/roehuntingresources/   Guy Duplantier Instagram https://www.instagram.com/westerncontours/   SHOW SPONSORS AND DISCOUNTS!   SKRE Gear - High octane hunting attire without breaking the bank! https://www.skregear.com/  -Use Promo Code “thewesternhuntsman” for 15% off and free shipping!   Phelps Game Calls - The game call company of The Western Huntsman! https://phelpsgamecalls.com/  -Use Promo Code “Huntsman10” for 10% off!   The Elk Collective: An absolute game-changer in self-education.

This episode has "flowery language" right out of the gate! Chris is back home for a little bit, so he sat down with Guy Duplantier of Western Contours Podcast for a little bit of a "bonus" episode, and had a great conversation catching up on all things life, the Colorado elk season so far, and what's to come this season. Regardless of what we see on Social Media, life is LIFE, and sometimes it's challenging. Chris has been dealing with a variety of challenges this year, and the attempt at recording this podcast was just another in the string of many ridiculous roadblocks, pot-holes, pitfalls, and other random BS that served to challenge his sanity and whether or not the podcast was even going to be. So Chris was a bit "frustrated," shall we say, coming right in at the gate of this conversation. Little did he know, Guy had just got done dealing with HIS version of life's "kick in the nuts!" This is a great conversation covering a variety of topics, with some good laughs thrown in along the way. From dealing with pets, people, and who we'd extend our hand to in an emergency, to the Colorado opening week of elk season, to reviewing Guy's epic elk melee and his reaction to it, to Chris's opening week and more, this episode is a good one to settle in and enjoy!

Guy Duplantier is a frequent guest of this show and host of the Western Contours Podcast. In fact, he's one of my favorite humans and I always end our recordings together feeling great about the content and the friendship.  In this episode, we talk about his recent move to Colorado and how it's changed his perspective on things. We also talk about elevation sickness, how hunters can mitigate it, and our frustrations with the woke culture in America. As always when Guy is on the show, we hold nothing back!

When are the best 7 days to hunt elk this year?  What if I can only hunt weekends? Are there better days than others? Would the best days be different for a newbie verses a veteran elk hunter? What about late season? What about the moon phase? Can these strategies apply to each State and their seasons? On today's show, special guest Guy Duplantier of the Western Contours podcast joins the crew as we break out the calendars to talk about the best days from September to December while using New Mexico and Colorado seasons as examples for different strategies and the reasons behind them.Hope you enjoy the episode!

Guy Duplantier grew up poor in LA's inner city. As a kid, he was faced with potentially life changing decisions every day, such as the pressures to join a gang. But Guy wasn't about to let his circumstances define his life. With the help of a strong family support system, he found his calling in the outdoors. First from fishing and free diving, to eventually archery hunting pigs and deer. After seeing an elk herd up close, a fire for pursuing elk was lit, and he's never looked back. He now hosts the incredible hunting podcast, Western Contours. Guy is one of my favorite voices in hunting, and I can't encourage people enough to give his show a listen. In this episode, Guy walks me through his early years and how he came to love chasing elk.Listen to Western Contours Podcast Western ContoursWebsiteInstagram YouTube

Following up on the discussion I had with Guy Duplantier from Western Contours, we continue the conversation with Joe Giglia from ElkBros.  These important topics are diving into the contentious debates currently being held throughout the hunting community. We talk about how hunters connect with non-hunters and even anti-hunters. We discuss how polarized the nation is and how that is reflected within the hunting space. Who is behind it? Is it a concerted effort from the anti-hunting community? And the ever important; what do we do about it? Sponsors and Discounts!

A GAME CHANGER... That's the one thing that changes your elk hunting life forever!  It's not always a skill, technique or strategy. But more of a realization or an "Ah-Ha" moment. Something happens... OR someone finally put it to you in a way that the light bulb comes on and things are never the same from that moment on! Today we share some of those "Ah-Ha" moments.  With us today is special guest, Guy Duplantier, of the Western Contours Podcast. Guy returns after a 24 day elk hunt in which he calls in 13 bulls. One of them actually beds down only 5 FEET AWAY! It was the season of a lifetime for Guy and not by accident. Guy dedicated his off-season to finding the resources needed to fill the holes in his elk hunting game and then put them into practice. What he discovered was game changing for him. Come on into elk camp as we talk to Guy about those things that made the difference. How he put his knowledge to work and gained five years of experience in 5 days!We hope you enjoy the episode!

This episode series, Hunt Panel, is all about hunting as a non-resident. So many hunters build up in their mind the challenge of traveling to other states to hunt.

Guy Duplantier, host of Western Contours Podcast. Logan Erdman, Ohio resident and knife maker. All three of these panelists have extensive experience traveling to other states as a non-resident hunter. We break down the logistics, we talk costs, planning your hunt and eScouting, and lots more.

AB3, Host of The Bryant Land Show, interviews Guy Duplantier, an accomplished elk hunter host of the Western Contours podcast. AB3 and Guy Duplantier compare southern and western hunting styles, how Guy goes about elk hunting, and how he began creating his Western Contours brand.    Episode Highlights:  AB3 introduces his guest Guy Duplantier and they talk about elk bugles.    Guy shares his story of hunting a doe that started his hunting obsession.   How did Guy Duplantier get started hunting elk?  They discuss the quality of Guy Duplantier's videos.  Guy says that he will never miss an elk season again.  He discusses public land hunts and DIY hunts.   What are the average ranges for bow hunting elk?   COVID-19 is having an impact on hunting seasons.   How often does he shoot his bow and with which equipment does he use?  What made him start the Western Contours brand? Look for the Bass Pro Shop links on BryantLandCountry.com.     3 Key Points: As far as bow hunting, AB3 prefers to shoot at a range of 15-20 yards. You need strong lung capacity for high altitude hunts.  Many common traditional values like honesty, respect, and praying over your meal as a family are often common hunters.    Tweetable Quotes: “The way California is set up, and our herds and what not, it takes years. Elk is a once in a lifetime.” – Guy Duplantier “Last year I hit 17 points, which is max points for California elk.” – Guy Duplantier “In the west, I'm going to say our average shot is about 40 yards, on most gain. When it comes to elk, most guys believe the closer the better.” – Guy Duplantier   Resources Mentioned: The Bryant Land Show Podcast Follow Bryant Land on social media: Linkedin | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube Support the Bryant Land Show Patreon for exclusive content: Patreon Bass Pro Affiliate: https://bassproshops.vzck.net/NaQx7 Western Contours: westerncontours.com Western Contours on social media: Instagram
