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/

Send us a textWhat happens when neighbors spot you arriving home at midnight, covered in blood, without your wife who's normally always by your side? 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.
