Ep 104 The Hunting Stories Podcast: Baker Leavitt24 Jun 202400:59:19

Send us a text

Imagine taking down two deer with a single shot or trekking through the African wilderness under the cover of darkness. Join us for an enthralling conversation with the multi-faceted Baker Leavitt, a man whose hunting tales stretch from the fields of Georgia to the savannas of Africa. We delve into his diverse career at Black Rifle Coffee, Kill Cliff, and Outsider, and also uncover his insights as a political consultant and entrepreneur. Baker shares some eye-opening statistics about licensed hunters who skipped voting in recent elections, stressing the huge impact civic engagement can have on not just the hunting community, but society as a whole.

Our journey begins with Baker’s early hunting days, filled with adventure and camaraderie. Hear the heartwarming story of his first hunting trip at 15, where he bagged two deer with a single shot and sparked a lifelong passion. Baker’s fascination doesn’t stop at hunting; it extends to Native American culture and arrowhead hunting. Africa's vast wilderness and rich history have always captivated him, offering unparalleled experiences and tales of redemption, like the gripping nighttime hunt in the African bush and the inspiring story of Eli, a man who found redemption after a stint in prison.

Baker’s hunting escapades are not just about the thrill of the chase but also about the lessons learned along the way. From a solo elk hunt in Utah to the complexities of trophy hunting and managing hog overpopulation, each story is a blend of raw emotion, excitement, and achievement. Baker’s narrative emphasizes the importance of introducing new hunters to the field and mastering fundamental skills. This episode is a treasure trove of captivating stories and invaluable life lessons, making it a must-listen for hunting enthusiasts and anyone with a love for the great outdoors.

Ep 102 The Hunting Stories Podcast: Julius Craig27 May 202400:47:36

Send us a text

When laughter mingles with the profound wisdom of the woods, you know you're in for a treat. Julius Craig, a name synonymous with Delta Fludge Outdoors, joins me to swap tales that stitch together the fabric of a hunter's life. From the comical tale of his roadside rendezvous with law enforcement to the deeply personal reflections on how life's crossroads led him back to the embrace of nature, our conversation is a journey through the heart of hunting tradition and innovation.

This episode isn't just about reminiscing; it's a masterclass in the art of adapting to the ever-changing landscapes and regulations that shape our pursuit. Julius and I traverse memory lane, discussing everything from the adrenaline-fueled first hunts that forever imprint on a hunter's soul to the subtle intricacies of wildlife conservation. We've seen it all, from the thick pine forests of Louisiana to the broad horizons of Oklahoma, and we're here to share the hunter's perspective on wildlife management, land maintenance, and the joy of introducing the next generation to the great outdoors.

As we wrap up our chat, the importance of wildlife conservation and the rich tapestry of available game in Oklahoma come to the fore, reminding us of the delicate balance between tradition and sustainability. I can't thank Julius enough for bringing his voice to the podcast and for the hearty laughs we shared. If you're itching to hear more from Julius, hop over to his Delta Flows Outdoors podcast, and while you're at it, why not share your own stories with us? Let's keep the tradition alive and inspire each other to create unforgettable moments in the wild.

Ep 101 The Hunting Stories Podcast: Johnny "Utah" Mulligan20 May 202401:09:49

Send us a text

When a former law enforcement officer swaps his badge for a bow, the result is as captivating as it is inspiring. This is the essence of our latest encounter with John Mulligan, affectionately known as Johnny Utah, as he walks us through the tall grasses of his life's work and passion. From the rolling hills of Kentucky to the abundant fields of Iowa, Utah's evolution from a hunter to a television personality is an odyssey rife with perseverance, partnerships, and the occasional pronghorn.

Utah doesn't shy away from the hard truths of the hunting industry as he recounts the ups and downs of creating a successful outdoor TV show. He discusses the importance of relationships over sponsorships and the undeniable impact of personal interestsβ€”like weightlifting and jujitsuβ€”on his achievements. Utah's dedication to his craft is as steadfast as it is infectious, and his stories, from the harrowing to the humorous, embody the heart of the hunting community.

Each chapter of Utah's journey adds a vibrant thread to the rich tapestry of outdoor life. Listeners will be treated to the ethics of catfishing versus noodling, the transition back to gun hunting after years of bowhunting, and the tale of a fortuitous pronghorn hunt that underscores the unpredictability of the pursuit. And as we bid farewell to our esteemed guest, we encourage you to join his legion of followers on social mediaβ€”and perhaps see your own hunting stories shared in a future episode.

Ep 100 The Hunting Stories Podcast: In Memory of Larry Peterson13 May 202401:32:48

Send us a text

Gather 'round the campfire for our centennial episode as we honor Larry Peterson, the man whose hunting legacy courses through our veins. Joined by Dylan Peterson and Steven Bryant, we spin yarns of our shared adventures and the laughter that echoes through the wilderness. Our tales traverse from Saskatchewan's elk-rich forests to the bullet-riddled army tents of Washington, each one stitching a more vibrant patch into the quilt of our outdoor life.

Let's raise a toast to the pranks, the perseverance, and the profound moments that define the hunter's journey. From the thrill of a muzzleloader hunt to the ethical quandaries faced in the field, we don't shy away from the mishaps and mayhem that bring us closer to natureβ€”and to each other. Our escapades, including a bee attack turned comedy sketch and a frigid camp that tested our wits, remind us that the hunt is as much about the chase as it is about the camaraderie.

So here's to Larry, whose spirit guides our sights and stories, and to all the listeners ready to etch their mark on the wild narrative. Share in our gratitude as we beckon you to contribute your own memories, ensuring the tales of the ones we've loved and the lands we've roamed live on. Join us in this celebration of heritage, humor, and the hunt that binds us.

Ep 099 The Hunting Stories Podcast: Aron Snyder06 May 202400:56:04

Send us a text

Aaron Snyder of Kifaru, a seasoned adventurer with a heart forged in the great outdoors, joins us for a fireside chat brimming with wild escapades and profound wisdom. Celebrating our 99th episodeβ€”a testament to the journey we've all been on togetherβ€”we traverse the emotional terrain of hunting, encountering the raw edge where nature meets human spirit. Aaron doesn't hold back as he shares his riveting experiences, from confronting the perils of a boulder field with a dislocated rib to the joys and pains of bow hunting that have shaped his incredible journey from a military man to a connoisseur of survival.

Imagine drawing your bowstring back quietly, eyes locked on a mule deer, heart pounding in the stillness of the forest; Aaron brings these moments to life with vivid tales of hunts that test the limits of both traditional and compound bow equipment. The episode is also a sanctuary for candid discussions on controversial topics like predator hunting in British Columbia, where ethics and conservation intersect with the primal dance of hunter and prey. Each story peels back a layer of the hunter's psyche, exposing the inherent challenges and the ceaseless pursuit of personal growth through nature's unforgiving lessons.

As we wrap up this episode with Aaron, it's not just about the hunts but the growth that comes from them. The tales of early overconfidence, the trials of extreme weather, and the unwavering determination in the face of missed opportunities are as much a reflection of life as they are of hunting. We're not just recounting stories; we're sharing a part of ourselves, inviting listeners to connect through the universal language of the wilderness. So, as you listen, remember that each journey into the wild is our own, and together, we're writing the stories that define us.

When Central Texas whispers its call of the wild into a young boy's heart, a lifelong hunter is born. Will Cooper, our esteemed guest, weaves a captivating narrative of his evolution from a bright-eyed youth, taking his first shots on family land, to his present-day role as a raconteur of the hunt and a steward of the outdoors. His journey through the tapestry of tradition to his current position with GSM Outdoors and HuntStand isn't just a story; it's a legacy that we explore in rich, resonant detail.

Understanding the essence of the hunt goes beyond the prey; it's about the choices we make, both in the wild and within the walls of our daily grind. Will and I uncover the tough calls that define us, from standing our ground in the workplace to the unity and meticulous orchestration behind each hunting expedition. These are the moments that forge unbreakable bonds and shape the anticipation that electrifies the air as we prepare for the pursuit.

Our adventure reaches a crescendo with the recounting of an elk hunt that tested our limits β€” a showdown with nature where strategy, stamina, and sheer will against the elements wrote a saga of triumph and transformation. But it's not just about the hunt; it's about how these experiences carve into our very beings, influencing our approach to everything from our diets to our most cherished roles as fathers and husbands. Join us for an episode that transcends the mere act of hunting and ventures into the profound realm where the wild outdoors molds the course of our lives.

From the curious beginnings of a 17-year-old discovering the thrill of the hunt to leading Carbon TV's innovative digital presence, Jules McQueen joins us to weave a tale that traverses the raw beauty of the outdoors and the screens that bring it to life. Our conversation peels back the curtain on how Jules turned her vision into a hub for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts alike, where the authenticity of fishing lines and hunting trails reigns supreme. She shares her insights into cultivating a community where youthful initiation into hunting is not just encouraged but celebrated, drawing on her own untraditional entry into the sport.

There's an emotional pulse that beats through every hunter's story, and in this episode, you'll journey with me as I recount the first arrow I released into a mule deer, a moment wrapped in exhilaration and solemnity. We swap tales of camaraderie under the Texan sky, laughter echoing through the woods, and misadventures that turn into treasured memories. Jules and I reflect on the power of capturing these moments, preserving the essence of friendship and thrill of the hunt through the lens of a camera, a sentiment that resonates deeply within the heart of every outdoorsman.

Wrapping up our chat, we explore the surprisingly common values between hunters and non-hunters, advocating for a dialogue that bridges understanding across the divide. I open up about my year-long journey without meat, an experience that shifted my approach to food and the hunt. With the spirit of unity threading our conversation, we extend an invitation to listeners to discover the plethora of stories and adventures waiting on Carbon TV, where the outdoors is not just watched, but felt.
