Ep. 83 Symbiotic Shed Hunting with Jeremy Moore

The First Gen Hunter Podcast ·

2022/03/01

Humans have several unique symbiotic relationships with different species in the various kingdoms of life, but none is more famous than our mutualistic relationship that we share with our canine companions. For thousands of years man and dog have roamed the earth depending on each other for food and safety, but in the postmodern age our partnership has evolved to include picking up sheds, and Jeremy Moore has been putting forth his best efforts to help spread the word on this recent training target

Ep. 82 Hunt Therapy: CRP and Ethical Trail Cam Dilemmas

The First Gen Hunter Podcast ·

2022/02/22

Hilariously disturbing is a term we will use in this one as Kent discusses with Alex, Brandon and guest Josh Divan of Pheasants Forever the ethics behind using a trail cam to catch someone in the act of a disturbing, yet public ritual. The crew also discusses a few new points sent in by a listener continuing the discussion on the importance of having plenty of hunters. Finally Josh talks about the current open enrollment period for landowners to put their qualifying acres into CRP (Conservation

Ep. 81 Rabbits are Relevant with Kevin Murphy

The First Gen Hunter Podcast ·

2022/02/14

Rabbits are one of those timeless species that we assume hunters enjoy pursuing each season, but in reality there are many hunters who miss out on these furry little hunting season extenders. Hunting rabbits may seem fairly straight forward, but as you will soon find out after listening to Kevin, there is plenty of room for a good strategy for going into each hunt.

The First Gen Hunter Podcast ·

2022/02/02

We found Jake! And to celebrate we brought him and the rest of the usual crew back together to do another episode of Hunt Therapy! This one is chock full of good stuff from bow string finger tendonitis, to the nastiness of skinning a raccoon, and the quickly approaching opportunities available to those interested in putting in for limited draw tags. In Part 2 of the show we are joined by Charles of Whitwam of Howl For Wildlife to discuss the importance of being active with legal matters that pertain

Ep. 79 All Hail The Bobwhite Quail

The First Gen Hunter Podcast ·

2022/01/23

Rabbits, squirrels, and quail. That's about the limit of what's left to hunt here in Iowa, and I'd guess much of the rest of the country as well. So as the days quickly end for chasing these underrated species, I wanted to focus hard on the bobwhite quail, and there is nobody better to give us an education on this than our friend Todd Bogenschutz of the Iowa DNR. Todd was on the show in the past to talk upland birds in Iowa, and in this episode he provides masterclass on quail specifically. Todd

2022/01/13

As we set out on another trip around our favorite star, there is much to ponder about what the upcoming hunting year might hold for us. Brandon, Alex and Kent talk about their 2022 hunting resolutions that they hope to achieve by this time next year, and they dive into a recent, challenging conversation that had the hunting world in an uproar for a few days. It was a fun episode to record, and even more fun to listen to. I think you will agree. Follow The Hunt Fish Life: @hntfsh_life Follow

Ep. 77 The Wild Taste of Texas with Mike Reeber

The First Gen Hunter Podcast ·

2022/01/04

Mike Reeber is from the Lone Star State, and he joined the show to talk about the best part of hunting- the vittles, the delicacies, the meaty memories, THE FOOD. So much of hunting goes into getting to the point of pulling the trigger, but the fully realized enjoyment of hunting comes from eating the meat, and Mike does an excellent job maximizing every ounce of wild game he harvests. Mike not only enjoys harvesting and preparing wild game, but he also loves shed hunting so you know I can't help

2021/12/24

Merry Christmas! 2021 is drawing to a close. Pretty soon our hunting licenses will need to be updated, and our focus will shift from deer, waterfowl, and pheasants to sheds and spring turkeys, but as we close out the year we get to celebrate the greatest gift of all- the gift provided to us by the God of all creation given in the form of His Son, Jesus. That’s what we are here to talk about in this episode of the podcast, and avid whitetail hunter Rusty Boruff is here to tell us this ancient story

The First Gen Hunter Podcast ·

2021/12/17

Holding a deer tag into the late season provides a unique challenge that all of our rut wizard friends don’t find themselves in very often. It’s almost like we are doing the extra time, because we didn’t get our homework done by the due date that every one else seemingly had no problem with. But if we look at the late season as just another opportunity to hunt our favorite game, we will realize that are tardy tag isn’t a burden at all. Instead it is another opportunity to learn how deer survive and

Ep. 74 Hunt Therapy: Fillin‘ Tags and Game Bags

The First Gen Hunter Podcast ·

2021/12/09

If you've hunted long enough you know that that act of pulling the trigger, or releasing an arrow is a very small part of what goes into hunting, but it is the brief moment that we dream about. So much of the conversation about hunting centers on the gear and the process, but in this episode we talk about the moment of truth as we talk through the success Brandon, Alex and I have enjoyed so far this season. We had a lot of fun rehashing our tales of triumph and hope our stories inspire you as you

Banner days are banner days, because they are so good you want to make a banner and nail it to the lodgepole of your cabin to extol the greatness of what happened that day. This episode of hunt therapy was the first ingredient to a banner day for me. Jake and I met up to hunt in Noel's neck of the woods and we had a great time recording this show.

In our lives we on occasion are fortunate enough to cross paths with someone who is truly passionate about what they do. Their whole demeanor is infectious, and as you listen to and watch them speak and interact with others you feel yourself buying into their cause. Bob St. Pierre of Pheasants Forever is one of those rare individuals. Bob was kind enough to join this episode of the show to talk about the current state of upland habitat, populations, and of course hunting. Bob shares his own

2021/10/11

There are many hurdles we first gen hunters have to clear in order to successfully break into the hunting scene. Along with a knowledge deficit, lack of private hunting access, and no tactical foundation, acquiring all of the necessary gear to get out and hunt is one of the tallest hurdles for first gen hunters. Thankfully there are several options to help solve this problem, but I have found none better than the businesses Camofire and Black Ovis. Kendall Card- Cofounder of these companies, joined

We Iowegians like to brag about our status in the trophy whitetail category. You want a slob buck? Start putting in to draw a tag in the Hawkeye State. But what deer are to Iowa, elk are to Arizona. It's no secret that monstrous elk reside in the Grand Canyon State, and our friend Alex Gruin of East2West Hunts has been working hard on his own tag acquisition project to battle the 1% draw odds and go chase after these majestic animals.

Ep.67 Empire State Whitetails with Jon Teater

2021/09/10

Most people think of New York as the concrete jungle, far removed from any resemblance of its pre-settled beauty, and while that is true when considering the New York City area and it’s suburbs, that’s far from the truth for the remainder of the state. Dense forests edged by cropland, lakes, and mountains are what make this state beautiful and a prime home for whitetail deer. Jon Teater is a NY native and whitetail land manager who was kind enough to lend us his time to educate us on how hunting

Run and gun whitetail hunting is a widely used term in the hunting world, and I think a lot of people don’t quite understand what that hunting tactic looks like, or how to practically apply within their own approach. Thankfully Dan Johnson of Sportsman’s Nation is a subject matter expert who has been successfully using the run and gun method year after year to tag beautiful, mature deer in Iowa.
