Episode Details

Hey everybody, welcome to the show. For the holidays I was lucky enough to come back to Oregon and spend time with the family, and get this awesome podcast recorded with some awesome guys. Today’s episode is super interesting because the speakers seemed to be divided in half… Those who had amazing seasons, and those who, well, didn’t… I’ll let you decide who is who though. Lots of stories shared, and lots of lessons were learned on both sides of the hunts. Definitely a funny episode, and just a great group of stone cold killers, and I’m sure you guys will enjoy this episode. Thanks again Nick Schmit, Chris Pascua, and Cory Staniforth for joining me while I was in town to record this awesome episode.

Show Notes:

This episode is brought to you by GoWild the ultimate app for hunting, fishing and the outdoors. We Actually just had Brad and John from goWild on the show and had a blast getting to know those guys and getting a behind the scenes look at why they built the app and some of the really cool features within the app. The GoWild app has a ton of cool features but one of the coolest features is the proprietary new scoring system that allows you to enter in your trophies and be scored on much more than just the inches of antler. Their scoring algorithm takes into consideration things like the weapon used, distance of the shot, public or private land. This gives you the ability to compete with your buddies even if he shot his buck with a bow and you shot yours with a rifle. The app also allows you to log time for things like hours scouted, or checking trail cameras. The team over at goWild understands that it is more than just how many inches of horn a buck has, it is about the whole experience. Go check out the episode we and then go download the app. Its free and the best part is they do a ton of gear giveaways all the time!

This episode is brought to you by On X Hunt. I recently harvested a great bull in Montana and I owe a huge part of that to my OnX. This was an area that I had hunted years ago but because of On X Hunt I was actually able to find a new access point to get into the area from a new way and save myself a lot of miles. For that hunt, I actually spent a ton of time on my laptop scouting areas and marking locations which are super cool because then when I get out in the field all of those points of interest I marked on my computer are now right there on my phone. It all worked out really well and I ended up finding a really cool bull and was lucky enough to harvest him. Another really cool new feature of the OnX hunt app is that after I shot the bull I was able to share that location with my buddy Butch who was coming in to help me pack out. which made it super convenient for him to know exactly where to find me
