Spring hunting is one of the best gifts to a hunting season. Whether it's turkeys or bears its a great opportunity to keep our skills sharp going into the next fall hunting season. But bears and turkeys aren't the only thing available to hunt. A trip down to Texas to hunt aoudad sheep is another great option to explore. Alex just completed this hunt and joined the show to talk about his experiences and what he learned. We also hear an update regarding new laws affecting tags in Utah.

Jacob is one of the most hardcore guys I've talked to on this podcast. In 2023 he stared down death on the mountain and miraculously survived. In 2024 he went back west killed a bear, a cow elk, a bull elk and came home to kill a 160 class buck in Ohio. What an incredible season! Jacob also celebrated the one year of establishment for his nonprofit organization that teaches men how to hunt, how to get in physical shape to take on the mountain, and how to find God while they are there.

Thomas MLsna is one of the most thoughtful people I have met in the hunting community. He constantly hones his process for not only how he approaches hunting giant whitetail bucks, but he also is constantly tweaking how he manages whitetail hunting properties for himself and his clients to maximize the amount of ecological benefit for his local ecosystems. As a result of his holistic approach he has had incredible success on his own hunting properties, and he has helped transform many of his clients' farms to some of healthiest ecosystems in their regions. Other topics we discuss: -Do trail cameras give off high frequency noise that spook deer? -What is "halfitat" -Planting invasive species for better hunting opportunities -Management chores you can do right now Order Cat Trax Climbing Sticks Follow Thomas: @the_untamed_ambition and @whitetail_ambition Check out the First Gen Hunter Website Follow First Gen Hunter Instagram: @first.gen.hunter Facebook: @first.gen.hunter Follow Alex: @east2westhunts_alex Follow East2West Hunts: @east2westhunts Follow Caleb: @calebleedrake Follow Noel: @noelgandy Support First Gen Hunter by shopping at the following partners: East2West Hunts Use promo code: firstgen10 = 10% off any purchase Old Barn Taxidermy Tell Them The First Gen Hunter Podcast Sent You!

One of the best realities about hunting is that there are so many avenues to go with it. You can stick with just one or two species and happily hunt them for the rest of your life, or you can chase all kinds of species from other states or even countries. If you choose the latter, you will have to invest many hours into learning how to effectively fill new tags. Thankfully online resources have improved dramatically to lessen the learning curve, and 360 Sportsman is an online class resource to help hunters gain the confidence in chasing after new game species. We (Noel, Alex and Kent) had a great conversation with Taylor discussing hunting in Idaho, conservation issues affecting hunting now and in the future, and all that 360 Sportsman has to offer.

Travis Frank has been one of my favorite hunting media personalities for a long time now. He does a great job telling the story, he hunts hard, he's in it for the right reasons. He wants to be immersed in the ecosystem he is hunting and he wants the best adventure he can find. In this episode Travis shares many of his hunting experiences through the years, how he has included his family in hunting, and his passion for conserving the wild places he loves. Travis also shares some very timely advice for maximizing the end of the pheasant hunting season before it closes.

In episode 671: The Moon Eyed People, Shannon and Michael join Tony to recount their spine-chilling encounters and unexpected past. Mike begins by sharing his encounter with the legendary Moon Eyed People in the Smoky Mountains. What began as a night of drinking and storytelling turned into a surreal experience when he and his friend Daniel stumbled upon small, ghostly figures performing a ritual in the forest. He explained that these semi-transparent, bluish-gray beings, no taller than three feet, appeared out of the moonlight, pulling them into an ancient legend that blurs the line between myth and reality. But the intrigue doesn't stop there. Shannon shares her personal stories of paranormal encounters, including experiences with shadow people, sleep paralysis, and spiritual warfare. She explains the truth about her past as a witch, her harrowing spiritual battles, and her eventual transformation through faith. Shannon's journey is full of twists and turns that ultimately led her to a vibrant life of faith alongside Mike and their family.
