This episode is designed to create action for the listener.  On the drive home from the Western Hunting Summit I record my thoughts on the event, where I saw weaknesses in some of the attendees and I challenge the listeners to identify their areas of opportunity when it comes to creating the best version of themselves.  At the summit in Bozeman, MT we had subject matter experts lecture on certain topics to help newer western hunters evolve their game faster.  Some of the areas or topics covered were: Brian Barney - Backcountry Hunting Ryan Lampers - Backcountry Nutrition Hillary Lampers - Longevity Mark Livesay - Digital E Scouting MTN Tough Fitness - Mental Toughness Randy Newberg - Public Lands Dan Staton - Leveraging Hunting This whole experience was so much fun and there's a lot of information covered, so I dive into how I got the campers to hone in on making progress everyday.  In the cast, I go over my story on fitness and hunting and how they collided to bring about ElkShape.  As a bo

Today we record while driving the Instagram Bear Hunt Winner Bryce Peters to the airport as we finished up the spring bear hunt in Idaho. Bryce was a complete stranger prior to winning this hunt, and we met at camp and hunted for bears together all week. Getting to know Bryce was a true pleasure, we also had Mark Boardman & Erik Barber of Vortex Optics in camp as well. It was a very challenging week of bear hunting in Idaho as the bear rut hadn't kicked in yet, weather was hot and dry, and we struggled from the word go. Other interesting topics covered in the cast is Bryce's backcountry learning curve, how he's evolved as a solo hunter and some of his adventures from the Frank Church wilderness in Idaho. We also get into his background in finance and go over some of his investment strategies and retirement angles that he's learned while being in the industry. We both are striving for financial independence so it's pretty exciting to learn how he's managed debt and kept himself whole after college.

Today we sit down to record with Brian Lynn of Sportsmen’s Alliance.  We as sportsmen face a massive challenge of removing the societal disconnect from nature.  The animal rights movement that aims to end all hunting is growing and so is their budget. Their unity, reach, and resources enables them to buy lobbyists and influencers which is why we are seeing more ballot initiatives, legal challenges and appeals, when it comes to dismantling our hunting privilege. We discuss as hunters, how we can serve our own best interest, where we can effectively put our money and time to see the most success in the courtroom.  Sportsman’s Alliance has been around for decades and their sleeves are rolled up doing their damnedest for our cause.  We hunters need to stop shooting ourselves in the foot by tearing each other down.  We continue to make ourselves look bad on social and mainstream media which ultimately leads to division at the ballot box and over legislation.  Now, more than ever we need to help the Sportsmen’s A

Ted Ramirez Jr. is on the show today to inspire us about the highly romanticized DIY Alaskan Moose hunt.  Admittedly, it's always been on my radar, but I haven't committed to it yet.  The main reason is I would not want to miss out on elk hunting here in the lower 48.  Ted also breaks down his personal fitness journey, and what it is like working in the Hunting Industry.  Ted's Dad started Caribou Gear over a decade ago - makers of the ultra light synthetic game bags.  If you are serious about hunting, you owe it to yourself to not use cheese cloth.  I used to because I simply didn't know what I didn't know.  As a hunter, my concern is a higher meat yield and better tasting game meat.
