Ep. 116 Pickin’ Bones: How To Match More Antlers While Shed Hunting with Chris Dyer

Chris Dyer is the greatest deer hunter you've never heard of. Go ahead argue with me. I'll send you picture after picture, and story after story to prove my claim. The man lives and breathes whitetails. During the hunting season you can count on Chris to tag multiple bucks, and during shed season he will have the biggest shed pile because of quantity and quality of sheds he scoops up. In this episode though he lays down some great info on how to find more matches while shed hunting. And this is perfect timing because he just won 2nd place for biggest matched set of antlers at the Iowa Deer Classic.

Ep. 114 Pickin’ Bones: Hunting Pen Raised Birds

We all have our preconceived judgments about every aspect of hunting. I am the same way. But after hunting pen raised birds on a hunting preserve this past weekend, I was reminded of a wise phrase: "don't knock it til you try it."

Ep. 113 Fighting Off A Grizzly Attack and Hiking Back To Civilization With One Leg and A Crushed Skull

Think of the most brutal grizzly mauling you've heard of someone surviving. Now imagine that situation being even worse. Jeremy Evans is the toughest man on the planet. Period. As you will hear in this interview ten miles into the backcountry Jeremy FOUGHT OFF a sow grizzly when he accidentally came in between her and her cub. He fought her off 3 times without bear spray, a gun, or a knife and miraculously survived his horrific injuries. It's quite simply the most brutal bear attack I have ever heard of where the victim survived. Besides the bear attack, Jeremy is an expert hunter and we discuss his many successes hunting whitetails, mule deer, elk, moose, buffalo and more.
Listener Be Advised: The nature of Jeremy's injuries are so graphic you should not listen to this in the presence of children.
