In this episode Adam is joined by Mike and Kelly from the very popular Rookie Hunter podcast.

These two guys started their refreshingly honest, very well produced and informative show just over a year ago and have been growing, both as hunters and podcasters, ever since.

The conversation covers everything from how Mike and Kelly got into hunting later in life, to their successes, failures and lessons over their first two seasons. From whitetails, to mulies and a 7 x 8 bull elk these guys have been hard at it and aren’t slowing down any time soon!

Tune in for a great discussion filled with lessons, stories and of course a few rabbit holes mixed in for good measure!

In this episode Adam is joined by a guest that he has been waiting to interview for a very long time: Mr. Shane Mahoney.

This is one of the most important podcasts we have, and likely ever will, air. Regardless of your beliefs on where hunting stands in today’s day and age and how hunting fits within the current narrative of conservation, food and animal welfare this is a must listen episode for all hunters of all nationalities.

Shane Mahoney is the President and CEO of Conservation Visions Inc. A Newfoundland native, he holds both an Honors and a Master of Science degree in Zoology from Memorial University of Newfoundland.

Shane has over 30 years of experience working primarily as a scientist, wildlife manager, policy innovator and strategic advisor – all within the scope of the greater conservation movement. His work has impacted both the scientific and professional wildlife communities, as well as NGOs and the hunting and non-hunting public.

On this show Adam and Shane discuss hunting as a vehicle for conservation and the relevance of hunting in the modern age of TV, social media, trophy hunting, and the so called organic food movement.

In this episode Adam welcomes Connor Gabbott of @cedarandsagebrush back to the show. Connor is a chef by trade but more importantly loves to hunt solo and one hell of a photographer, and film maker.

The bulk of Connor’s hunting success has been achieved on solo hunts and on this show Adam and Connor dive into the subject of solo hunting: the pros, cons, and Connor’s lessons and observations from hunting both solo and with other people.

They also dig into the deeper side of hunting solo and whether this popular and glamorized concept is a modern phenomenon driven and enabled by technology or simply the next evolution of hunting in the modern age.

Connor and Adam bring very different perspectives and experiences to this topic and have a conversation that is sure to get you thinking and maybe even spur you into action!

On Episode #39 Adam welcomes Matt Comment back to the show.

Matt was originally on the podcast a few months back and in that episode briefly touched on some of the nutritional changes he’d made in the lead up to his NWT Dall sheep hunt last summer. These changes helped him show up ready for anything the NWT might throw at him and he came home with a Dall ram that dreams are made of.

After that episode aired we received a ton of requests to bring Matt back on to dive into the details of what, why and how he made the changes to both his training and backcountry diet. So by popular demand, Matt is going to take us through how and why he made the changes he did and what exactly he packed, food wise, on that hunt.

Matt also covers how he manages to make dream hunts for species like Stone sheep, Dall sheep, elk and mule deer happen, on a regular basis, despite not being a rich man by most measures.

This episode is packed with tips, tricks and real world lessons that you can employ right away no matter what you have planned this fall!
