Episode 106: More Than a Tag, More Than a Hunt with Dayce Rhodes

lundi 17 novembre 2025Duration 58:56

In this episode of Harvest Your Own, Brad Fenson sits down with Dayce Rhodes, an Alberta Conservation Association biologist whose life and work are rooted in the outdoors.

From pheasant releases and wild-turkey projects to long days on the ranch west of Claresholm, Dayce has spent nearly every season outside — building a career around conservation and a lifestyle around hunting.

He shares how his ranch upbringing shaped his work ethic, the lessons learned from mentors and family hunts, and what it’s like to finally draw a coveted Shiras moose tag after more than a decade of waiting.

The story takes a powerful turn when Dayce and his friends respond to an emergency in the field — proving that good hunters don’t just chase opportunity, they help where they’re needed most.

This episode blends science, fieldwork, and emotion — from trapping wild turkeys to hauling out moose quarters by headlamp — showing that hunting is about far more than pulling the trigger.

BrAdvice Episode 9: Success Starts at Home: Your Hunting Toolkit

mercredi 12 novembre 2025Duration 12:18

Success in the field doesn’t come from luck — it’s built piece by piece.


In this episode of Harvest Your Own, host Brad Fenson breaks down what it really means to build a hunting toolkit. Not just gear — but knowledge, awareness, and habits formed over time.


Brad explains how the little things add up:
• Knowing your hunting area like a map inside your mind
• Understanding bedding, feeding, and travel patterns
• Using iHunter and ABHuntLog to track signs, sightings, and movement
• Watching the wind and planning entry routes
• Glassing effectively — seeing game before it sees you
• Communicating with deer using rattling, grunts, and bleats
• Managing scent so you’re invisible before you ever take a step

This episode is full of practical, confidence-building advice that helps new and experienced hunters get more out of every day afield.

Episode 13: Hillary Keyes, The Start of Something Special

Season 1 · Episode 13

mardi 12 janvier 2021Duration 35:02

Sure, getting into hunting requires a set of actions, but it's also not as difficult to get into as one might think. In fact, in the case of our guest Hillary Keyes (biologist and outdoor enthusiast) she ended up preparing to be a hunter without planning to be one! Intentional or not, finding the pathway to hunting proves to be one of life's most rewarding experiences. Listen in as Hillary explains easing into bird hunting, getting comfortable with guns, and her hesitation and accomplishment surrounding her first deer hunt. It took Hillary a few years to feel ready for big game, and that's the beauty of hunting - no timeline, no pressure. Your path is your own.

Episode 12: Alexandra Despins, Connection is Everything

Season 1 · Episode 12

dimanche 3 janvier 2021Duration 36:13

 "Hunting is about the relationships I've formed." Whether that's with family or with the land, Alex considers them all to be essential and fulfilling on her quest in finding her next meal. As a hunter, forager, gardener, teacher and outdoor enthusiast, Alex is still eagerly learning yet has many tidbits of advice to help those of us looking to get out there for our very first time.  She explains the rewards of hard work and understanding and feeling that real connection between your health and your food. If a one-time vegetarian (listen in for more on that !) can connect to the land in such a way to drive her passion to become a hunter, we think all Albertans can.
