Send us a textAaron Jennings transports us to the rugged landscapes of New Zealand's North Island, where hunting isn't just a recreational pursuit but a way of life woven into the cultural fabric of communities. From his earliest memories of sitting in the truck with his father and grandfather (koro) to his present-day adventures pursuing wild boars through blackberry-choked gullies, Aaron shares stories that reveal the unique hunting traditions of his homeland.Perhaps most compelling is Aaron's description of hunting's role in community support. He and his brother harvested approximately 250 deer in a single year, distributing the meat to families facing food insecurity. This practice transforms hunting from recreation into service, embodying the Māori saying "kai moti te pu" (food for the table) that guides their ethical approach.Want to see more of Aaron's hunting adventures?

Send us a textMeet Jonathan Bottoms, the self-proclaimed "worst hunter in Southeast Texas," whose three-year journey from complete novice to dedicated sportsman will leave you both entertained and inspired. Jonathan's path began not through family tradition but with a spontaneous invitation to hunt in Mexico armed with nothing but a bow retrieved from beneath someone's porch. That first successful harvest created dangerously unrealistic expectations, setting the stage for the wild adventures that followed.Leaving behind Colorado's mountains for Texas swamplands, Jonathan found himself navigating challenges no YouTube hunting tutorial could prepare him for. Chest-deep water, water moccasins, alligators, and terrain unlike anything in popular hunting media required him to develop a completely different approach. His stories range from heart-stopping (stepping on two venomous snakes back-to-back) to hilarious (pursuing a modest buck he named Dave while repeatedly calling in his "buddy" Larry, a spike with Napoleon syndrome).What truly sets Jonathan's approach apart is his unwavering persistence. Despite an exploding bow at the moment of truth, riding a tree through a hurricane, and confronting poachers on public land, he maintained his enthusiasm, hunting every possible morning and evening throughout the season. This dedication eventually led to his proudest achievement – harvesting a buck that represented not impressive measurements, but the culmination of countless hours learning the woods.For new hunters feeling overwhelmed, Jonathan's message resonates deeply: "Just keep doing it. I might fail, but I learn and do it different next time. What matters is getting out there... if you're lucky, you get something. If not, you still get to spend your day in the woods." This authentic perspective reminds us that hunting's true value lies not in the harvest but in the journey itself.https://www.instagram.com/jonathan_bottoms/https://www.facebook.com/jbotttoms/https://www.christianfellowship.church/

For Jake Walsh, it became the perfect storm of misunderstanding that culminated in one of the most memorable hunting stories you'll ever hear.Jake's path to becoming a hunter wasn't traditional. Growing up surrounded by hunters who "put a bad taste in his mouth," he avoided hunting throughout his youth. It wasn't until adulthood when concerns about food quality and factory farming practices pushed him to seek cleaner protein sources. Armed with nothing but YouTube videos and podcasts—particularly Steven Rinella's field dressing tutorials—Jake taught himself how to hunt just five years ago.What makes Jake's journey particularly fascinating is how quickly his passion transformed into innovation. Frustrated with traditional climbing methods for tree hunting, he developed the Bandit Climber—now a sought-after ultralight climbing system. His artistic talents led to creating Rut's Mini Mounts, hand-painted replica trophies that help hunters preserve their memories in miniature form. Both businesses were born from authentic experience rather than market opportunity.If you've ever wondered about the unexpected places hunting can take you—from suspected criminal to entrepreneur—this episode delivers with humor, heart and genuinely useful insights about modern hunting culture.

His journey from an 86-pound disaster pack to creating one of hunting's most respected backpack companies forms the backdrop for this captivating episode filled with unforgettable stories from the backcountry.Joe's tale of his son Brody harvesting a turkey while half-dressed—camo pants around his ankles, no shirt, and hat backward—brings comic relief and proves sometimes success comes despite our mistakes. But the mood shifts dramatically as Joe recounts a bone-chilling encounter with a wolf pack that surrounded their camp at what was later identified as a wolf "rendezvous point." The pack's eerie, guttural howls continued for hours, forcing them to pack out in darkness with wolves following uncomfortably close behind.Through these experiences, Joe reveals how adversity sparked innovation. The miserable first backpacking trip where his youngest son shivered in soaked sleeping bags became the catalyst for Initial Ascent's mission to build packs that carry heavy loads comfortably. His Bennett Mountain elk hunt story, complete with unexpected access challenges and eventual success, showcases the persistence that drives both hunting and entrepreneurship.Whether you're planning your next backcountry adventure or simply enjoy authentic hunting stories, Joe's experiences offer valuable insights and reminders of why we venture into wild places despite the challenges they present.

Send us a textThe bond between father and son often transcends life itself. In this emotionally charged episode, Maine hunter Dan Schaefer reveals how his hunting journey became irrevocably intertwined with the memory of his late father, creating a spiritual connection that defies simple explanation.Dan's path to becoming a hunter started later than most. Despite growing up with a father passionate about hunting, young Dan earned the nickname "Wiggles" for his inability to sit still in the woods. Years later, he embraced hunting in 2017, diving headfirst into pursuing multiple species across Maine's challenging terrain. Little did he know how profoundly his father's passing in 2021 would transform his hunting experiences.What follows are three remarkable harvests that blur the line between coincidence and spiritual connection. First, Dan wakes from a vivid dream about his father—the first since his passing—and hours later takes a magnificent 13-point buck they had discussed before his father's death. The following season, using his father's rifle, Dan harvests a unique piebald buck on his father's birthday. Finally, Dan completes the tribute by taking a massive 225-pound "Piggy" buck, earning the same "Biggest Bucks of Maine" patch his father had proudly worn on his hunting jacket.Throughout these experiences, Dan feels his father's presence guiding him, steadying his aim, and bringing these deer into his path at precisely the right moments. Each success becomes not just a personal achievement but a shared experience that bridges the gap between this world and whatever lies beyond.Whether you believe in spiritual connections or not, these stories remind us that hunting creates powerful bonds that can echo through generations. Dan's journey shows how pursuing game can become a profound way to process grief, honor legacy, and maintain connection with those we've lost.InstagramSchaefferDTheMaineHuntYoutubeTheMaineHunt155" Buck of a Lifetime

Send us a textEver walked into a hardware store covered in blood, desperately trying to convince the cashier you're not a murderer? That's just one of the hilarious mishaps shared by this week's guest, Brian Dowling.Brian brings a unique perspective as both a firearms expert with an actual master's degree in guns and a veteran who found healing through hunting. Working at XCAL Shooting in Virginia—a massive 97,000-square-foot facility combining shooting ranges, a gym, and a gun store—he's turned his passion into a career that spans gunsmithing, instruction, and product development.What makes this episode special is the heartwarming thread running through Brian's hunting stories: his incredibly supportive wife. From helping him drag a freshly harvested doe up a hill in a wheelbarrow while wearing pajamas, to stealing "his" perfect pheasant after missing shots all day (much to his good-natured chagrin), their relationship shines through the narrative. When Brian describes seeing his blood-spattered wife hosing down a deer carcass in their yard without complaint, you can hear the genuine admiration in his voice.The conversation takes us through the challenges of Eastern whitetail hunting, North Carolina hog hunts in eerie swamps, and the comedy of errors that ensues when a hunter isn't properly prepared to transport his harvest. Brian's self-deprecating humor about showing up at a rural hardware store covered in blood to buy rope and a hatchet—prompting the cashier's skeptical "that's what they all say" response to his innocent explanation—will have you laughing out loud.Beyond the entertainment, Brian offers valuable insights into how hunting serves as effective PTSD therapy for veterans like himself, creating a deeper understanding of why many former service members find such profound peace in the woods. His technical expertise also shines through when discussing rifle zeroing and equipment selection for different hunting scenarios.https://xcal.com/https://mimicfirearms.com/Instagram,XcalMimicBrian
