Episode 018: Where 2 Hunt

There is a strong link between the creative and the avid outdoorsman or hunter. Would you agree?

Where2Hunt is one of my favorite hunting podcasts and that's really because of the hosts ! They are a ton of fun and everything is from such a positive and light hearted approach!

We talk to Eric Clark about his 7 years with Where2Hunt, creation of the Where2Hunt hunting app, his crazy life and the start of it all!

Episode 017: No matter how you get there, get there

This week I speak with Greg Traynor, avid hunter and one hell of an inspirational man. Greg was in a diving accident that changed a lot of things in his life but, not his attitude and not the love of the outdoors and hunting.

His will and positivity are entirely contagious. Listen in to hear about what he has overcome,stories of how others face their challenges, and also to hear a couple friends reminiscing about the love of hunting.

Episode 016: Start Somewhere

Why is it so intimidating to be a beginner?  Why do we hide it away? It's silly right? Like, we all have been beginners! ALL OF US!

This week we speak with Alicia Beck, Wife, Momma, competitive lifter and new bow hunter. We discuss body image and loving the best parts of us instead of focusing on what we hate. We discuss women and men in the hunting industry and sharing our truths not just the highlight reel.

This week's interview is with family man, hunter, and taxidermist, Chris Hoenig and special returning guest, Jacob Heumphreus, our favorite coon hunter! They guys and I talk about the good, bad, ugly, and deeper meaning behind the trade of taxidermy.

Episode 013: (Perceived) Barriers to Entry

Conner Wakefield and I chat about (perceived) barriers of entry into the hunting and outdoor world. Here is what we cover:

Money

Mentors, Community, & support

Land

Knowledge & Confidence

Non Stereotypical Hunter & Fitting in

Physical Fitness, disability, and health

We don't always agree but we have a similar mission. Share our love and experiences of the outdoors and hunting, community, conservation, and encouraging others to go for it.

"You just need to get out in the woods and fail."

What do you think? What are other barriers holding you back? Do agree with some of our perspective thoughts or hang ups? Would love to hear your opinion!
