We sit down with Will Homer, CEO of Painted Hills Natural Beef based in Fossil, Oregon, to talk cattle values, rancher values and the hazards that face a calf born into this harsh world. Coyotes, wolves and golden eagles all get their piece of flesh. Will grew up shooting a 270 Winchester; he recalls the 6.5 Swede, confesses to a 6.5 Grendl and reminisces about rodeo, football and shooting sage rats before the blight.

Hunting deer in the late season, the sun is coming up, it’s a cold frosty morning in western Oregon. Outdoor writer Troy Rodakowski had a muzzleloader across his lap when he saw the cougar. It turned and began to stalk him. This is what happened next. You can catch Troy Rodakowski on Instagram at @troyoutdoors

We talk about the North American Model of Wildlife Management and conservation and the importance of journaling. If you’re a lifelong hunter or you plan to be, I encourage you to keep a journal. Leland Brown is the non-lead hunting education coordinator for the Oregon Zoo, based in Portland Oregon, educating hunters about non-lead options. In this interview we talk about a study he has initiated. If you tagged a big game animal this year, you can participate. Click on www.bit.ly/ammoperformance.

In this episode we talk to Levi Mallory, a whitetail fanatic from the Show Me State and he shows us how to rethink our deer hunting spots. I recorded this episode in a garage while cutting up a monster of a buck. This animal probably weighed 275 pounds-plus and the other deer scattered when it showed up. If you hunt whitetails or blacktails and want insight into habitat and small property management, listen to Levi. 

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, there was always this speculation about Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Hairy Man and what it was, and if it was. And it seems like hunters and loggers are the ones that have the most encounters and are the most likely to NOT talk about it. Ron Morehead started researching in the early 1970s out of a hunting camp in the High Sierras. We talk to Ron about where the journey has taken him and his latest book The Quantum Bigfoot. 

Just back from a four-day workshop and her first-ever deer hunt in Texas, Amy Patrick had one day to get home and then we headed to southern Oregon for a blacktail deer hunt. Patrick is policy director for the Oregon Hunters Association. After she made a well-placed shot with a borrowed 7mm-08, we sat down to talk about her work and her first deer hunt. Her story might inspire you to invest in yourself.

Last minute details. How to think as you’re packing for deer camp. What to bring. How to upgrade your camp experience. And if you did buy a new rifle, how are you going to sight-it in? Bore-sighting gets you half way there. We talk to my good friend and fellow outdoor writer Troy Rodakowski about his pre-hunt rituals. 

You can still find real Africa and like I’m always telling you, if you want to do it, if you’ve always dreamed of it, do it now. Justin Moore grew up hunting in eastern Oregon and has just returned from his second safari in Zimbabwe where he took a wildebeest and a cape buffalo. Justin Moore works in public relations and marketing and is as good with a camera as he is with a rifle. His work has taken him to some interesting places and he shares a little of his philosophy and some insight into the art of storytelling with a camera. 

In this sixteenth in our mini-series, How To Be A Bear Hunter, we talk to Dante Zuniga-West about hunting bears this fall when the blackberry crop is late. We discuss setting a stand for bear and visualizing its approach, as well as Dante’s favorite bear gun and loads. Dante came to hunting by way of prep school in Bel Air. He is the offspring of educators, an educator, he holds a master’s degree from an art institute and he is a blaxican. He grew up searching out and reading hunting magazines then found his way into the Northwest. Now he lives on a farm in western Oregon and hunts bear and deer and grouse in the Coast Range. 

A lot of people think deer hunting when they set out to become hunters. But it didn’t used to be that way. A couple three generations ago people hunted small game like rabbits and squirrels and pheasants and grouse as they learned their skills in the woods and the desert. And now it is September and a new generation wants to know how they can get started hunting. Today we talk to Leland Brown about his journey as a hunter and how to get started putting real food on the table. Leland Brown also works with the Oregon Zoo, educating hunters about non-lead options, so we talk rifles and ammo, too.

In this episode of Ballistic Chronicles we talk hunting in Africa with my friend Brian R. Smith from Birmingham, Alabama. Brian opted to carry a 470 Nitro Express in a double rifle and he tells us why and the process of getting the rifle and sighting in. Then we talk about how a hunter can find the real Africa today and hunt in the old way and why and how you can make it happen now. Brian is a thinker and a studier and a man of action. He didn’t grow up going to Africa, he grew up reading about it and imagining himself going to Africa and taking intentional steps toward his goal every day. 

Hunting season is in the air. We sit down with Joel Strimling and try to ask and answer some questions from when we were new hunters. Can a person really be authentic about how they put food on the table? How do we get started as hunters if we don’t have a dad or an uncle that hunts? Who do we ask? Is there a better way to do this? Are there clubs to join? Good magazines to read? Can you really just buy a hunting license and go into the woods and hunt? The questions provoke a lot of thought, and the answers just might help a newcomer to the sport. 

Brooks Hansen joins us today from Camp Chef HQ in Logan, Utah. Brooks and I have shared some great fishing in Idaho, Wyoming and Utah and we always talk mule deer hunting and camp cooking. Today we talk about what it takes to get started as a hunter today and best calibers for mule deer. We also share a recipe for wild boar pork loin on a pellet grill. 

Ever use a plywood beef cow decoy? Well sometimes it’s the one thing you need to get close to a herd of elk or antelope. In this episode we sit down with Paul Donheffner, a state board member for the most active group protecting hunters’ rights in Oregon – Oregon Hunters Association. I’m sipping Frontier Roast coffee and we’re talking about how a new hunter can get started in this sport, and a little about favorite guns and gear and long-range shooting.

In this fifteenth in our mini-series, How To Be A Bear Hunter, we talk to my good friend John Nores. John was one of our very first guests on the podcast. We have hunted wild boar together and axis deer in Texas. And John is a car guy, he likes hot rods, fast trucks, good-shooting rifles and he is also a bass player. We talk about all these things and bear hunting and bullets and our new and old favorite rifles. Find John Nores on Instagram @johnnores 

In this episode of Ballistic Chronicles we talk hunting in New Zealand for red stag, tahr and chamois with Pog Cameron, a hunting guide and helicopter pilot. I have hunted with Pog a lot and some of my most memorable hunts in New Zealand were hunts he helped to plan. Listen to the Kiwis when they talk and you will get a glimpse of a different way of looking at the land and wildlife. You can find Pog on Instagram @purenzhunting and look for him on YouTube too. 

He’s back! Coyote hunter by day, guitar tech by night. It’s our favorite guitar tech Marc Larese from Tennessee, in this episode talking coyote hunting at the end of the year. It’s the third week of December and coyotes are cool, calm and not quite collected.

This is an episode about old John Nosler, the founder of Nosler Bullets and the inventor of the Nosler Partition bullet. But it’s more than that. To me, this is a glimpse into America and the American Way the way one man experienced it in the early 1900s. It’s a story about one man’s vision to build a better bullet and how he passed that dream down to his family. In this episode we go right back to the start. To ground zero. Back to old Los Angeles and the Pomona Hills. 

In this episode we sit down with Michael Swoboda and talk about hunting and fishing in Alaska and talk about lessons learned in Namibia and South Africa and in New Zealand too, and we talk this crazy career of mine, outdoor writing and hosting a TV show.
