Ep. 64 Conservation Advocacy with Marissa Jensen

The First Gen Hunter Podcast ·

2021/08/12

One of the greatest confrontational challenges to ever exist since the creation of currency is “Put your money where your mouth is.” Of course much of this has probably come down to betting and fantasy football, but the statement can certainly be used when discussing the reality of talking about conservation, compared to actually doing the work of a conservationist. Marissa Jensen of Pheasant's Forever has done just that. As the National Education and Outreach Manager, Marissa has done her best to

On this episode I was joined by Nick Otto the host of The Huntavore Podcast. Nick and I talk a little hunting, but mostly about food. For many folks that are interested in trying to hunt, it is the food that provides the justification for finally purchasing a hunting license. Nick will join me in discussing this most important aspect of hunting as we explore topics ranging from shot placement to what Nick would choose for his last wild game meal. It’s a great interview that will inspire you to take

The First Gen Hunter Podcast ·

2021/07/19

When the term “legend” gets thrown into a conversation your brain may rabbit trail to thoughts of Michael Jordan, Mickey Mantle, or Abraham Lincoln- some pretty incredible folks from a public knowledge standpoint. But what about those every day legends who walk among us in the work place, church, school, or even deer camp. Who are those legends to you? Well, to the close friends of Zach Polaske, Zach is just that. What started as a nickname given to him for his incredible ability to locate deer,

Of the many lost arts of worlds nearly forgotten, blacksmithing is possibly the most interesting. Of course there are a few talented folks out there who carry on some of these traditions, but few are better and more thoroughly devoted to using their art for the betterment of hunting than Mr. Daniel Casey of Casey Arms. Stationed in Romance, Arkansas, Daniel uses his God-given gift for forging iron into incredible antique pistols, rifles, shotguns, swords, knives and many other weapons that will drop

2021/06/10

The title for the episode pretty much explains it- this episode is all about the adventure of a lifetime. Brian is a bear hunter, and a bear hunting guide. He’s killed black bear in the lower 48, but spends 40 days every year guiding hunts in the Brooks Range of Northern Alaska, and many of those hunts are for Grizzly and Brown Bear (yes, I know same species, but considered different animals by those who are shaking hands with them on a regular basis).

Ep. 56 Deer Hunting With Artificial Intelligence

The First Gen Hunter Podcast ·

2021/05/27

Deer hunting changes quickly, and the hunting products available are one of the main sources of that change. Through time our ancestors went from using spears, slings, atlatls, eventually progressed to bows and arrows, and finally firearms- and that's only the weapon component to hunting. Clothing, trail cameras, footwear, optics and so many other important tools used by hunters have greatly changed, and that's what this interview is all about, taking the next step in becoming a more effective

Idaho is probably most well known for it consistently over performing college football team that plays on blue turf, but the topic in this episode is all about their elk. Although I have spent very little time in Idaho, I have consistently heard tales of its incredibly steep terrain. Our guest Casey Byers has moved from the Midwest to Idaho and has settled into the elk hunting culture quite successfully.

Ep. 54 Swamp Rabbits & Fine Hounds

The First Gen Hunter Podcast ·

2021/05/13

One of the most fascinating aspects of the hunting world are all of the nuanced corners where hunters specialize in pursuing unique game with their own highly effective methods that most folks have no concept of. That’s where running beagles on swampers deep in the Alabama swamps fits in. This is the kind of hunting that requires year round dedication to dog training, maintaining physical fitness, well functioning equipment, and a certain measure of toughness that most other hunts won’t demand

Sheds, Turkeys and Shrooms: the only spring hunting seasons here in the heartland. Imagine bagging all three in one day? That would be about as rare as a royal flush. But our guest Garrett “Gary” Feik has done just that, and he’s here to share his experience on how to find Morels. As unique and enjoyable as morel season is, it’s gone almost as fast as it arrives so knowing where to look is the best way to capitalize on this brief opportunity.

Ep. 51 What You Need To Know About Taxidermy

The First Gen Hunter Podcast ·

2021/04/22

The time, money and effort hunters put into filling a big game tag is hard to measure beyond the simple math that shows it ain’t cheap. Oddly enough hunters will often spare no expense on the gear, weapons, ammunition, travel and lodging in order to notch their tags, and then turn around and skimp on getting a high quality taxidermy job done on their prized game. This interview with master taxidermist Matt Welsh of Raccoon Valley Taxidermy addresses those kinds of mental breakdowns and

Sheds are nearly buried again in the green new carpet of spring, morels aren't quite ready and the gobbles of a tom turkey disturb the quietness of the cool morning air... ahh it's spring in the turkey woods. And there is no one better to talk about how to fill turkey tags than Mr. Heath Rayfield of Buckventures The Woodsmen. Heath is a family man, avid hunter, and hunting guide in the Carolinas, and hunting turkeys is his bread and butter. He was kind enough to come back on the show and explain to

2021/04/08

Spring has officially arrived and that means the end of shed season, the start of turkey season and a giant to-do list to complete before the archery deer opener this coming fall. Bow tuning, practice shooting and new accessory purchases dominate the list of “chores” that need to be addressed, but as a budding archer, putting together an effective plan for tackling the list can be tough to figure out.

2021/04/01

There are a lot of critters I hope to get the chance to hunt. Of course many of them are on everyone else’s dream hunt list, but near the top is this nonnative species of deer- the sika deer. With the rutting behavior similar to a midwestern whitetail, the body size of a southwestern Coues deer, the vocals of a miniature bull elk, and the habitat preferences of waterfowl- these deer are fascinating to say the least. As small as their range is in North America, Brandon and I had to get connected with

Ep. 47 Squirrels: Old Time Game For New Age Hunters

The First Gen Hunter Podcast ·

2021/03/25

Squirrel hunting has served as the first date for many hunters through the decades, and yet many fall away from it as they move on to bigger game like deer, elk, turkeys and waterfowl. Guest Marcus Gray is a wildlife biologist who has endured the test of time and with his own line of Mountain Feist squirrel dogs he is chasing squirrels with more passion than he had on his first ever hunt. These acrobats of the forest are well worth their weight in stew, and Marcus fills us in on how to bag a limit
