The First Gen Hunter Podcast

Ep. 110 Pickin’ Bones: Shed Hunting

Is shed hunting worthless? There are plenty of Uncle Rico type bow hunters who will tell you it is. They will talk about the 180s and 2Hundies they almost shot, and how they were in totally different locations than where their sheds were found by a farmer two miles away. But are testimonies such as these to be trusted? Should all hunters accept them at face value, and conclude for themselves that shed hunting has no value? Caleb and I are going to tackle that one on this episode of Pickin' Bones. Thanks for listening.
 
Oh, and go shed hunting when you finish the episode.

Ep. 109 Tracking Jaguar’s with Hounds and Preparing To Save Your Life In The Backcountry with Zeff Prina of My Medic

Broad head lodged deep in your thigh 10 miles into the back country = dude, you're screwed.
Accidentally cut yourself really bad while field dressing an elk 7 miles from your truck  = dude, you're screwed.
Severe burns on your hands and arms from a grease fire on your camp stove 8 miles from cell service = dude, you're screwed.
Anaphylactic shock from allergic reaction to several wasp stings during a September archery elk hunt deep in a drainage with no cell service = dude, you're screwed,
Or not. Because you prepared well and put together a packable first aid kit you were able to treat your serious injury and buy yourself enough time to find the medical care you needed to save your life. In the end you made it safely back to your family and friends. 
That's what we are discussing in this episode of The First Gen Hunter Podcast. How to take advantage of the industry leading first aid gear assembled by My Medic to build the perfect backcountry, or tree stand compatible first aid kit. We also talk about Zeff's hunting experience, and how he got his name from his great grandfather who was a houndsman, and  1 of the less than 10 confirmed successful hunters of a North American Jaguar!

Ep. 108 Pickin’ Bones: Shoot What You Eat, and Eat What You Shoot with Nick Otto of Huntavore

We've all seen it. The celebrity hunter who has documented themselves harvesting multiple big game animals and then they go on another hunting trip only to reveal their hunt camp meals of grocery store pork chops, moo cow steaks, and everything else other than that pure, clean, organic protein they were lauding just one episode earlier. They're guilty of it, sometimes I'm guilty of it, and there's a good chance you are as well. So how do we fix this? How do we enter the backcountry, or deer camp eating the food we claim motivates us to hunt? Nick Otto of The Huntavore Podcast joins Alex and me on this episode to coach us up on go to wild game meals for our future hunting trips.

Ep. 105 Targeting The Diversity Gap In Hunting with Eric Morris of Nontypical Outdoorsman

It's a difficult conversation to have, but one that must be addressed. And then once the talk happens, it must be followed by the walk. On this episode Eric Morris of Nontypical Outdoorsman joins me to talk about his mission of helping black men and women who would like to hunt find their way into the hunting community. Eric offers great advice for helping black hunters feel welcome, and identifies many of the hurdles that all of us can work together to remove so we can share hunting with all who are interested in participating.

Ep. 104 Hanging Out with Hunter McWaters

This episode is the perfect interview to kick off 2023. Back in September I had the privilege of talking with Hunter McWaters of The Hunter's Quest. We talked about all sorts of things from music, to overcoming addiction, to antelope hunting. Hunter is as solid of a dude as you will find in the hunting community. I'm confident you will enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

Merry Christmas! Celebrate this wonderful season with Brandon and his two younger brothers- Myles and Phil. We had a great conversation that includes more laughter than any other episode ever recorded, and more Christmas cheer than a Hallmark Christmas movie!

Ep. 102 I Want To Hunt Like Cole Young When I Grow Up

Since the earliest days of The First Gen Hunter Podcast Cole Young has been willing to share his wealth of knowledge about deer hunting. There are very few people who have accomplished what Cole has on his deer hunting resume'. Despite hunting at such an elite level he is always willing to share his tips and tricks that have led to sustained success through the years. On this episode we talk about Cole's success during the 2021 season, and how to target a specific buck early in the season.

Ep. 101 Hunt Therapy: Cloud Nine

There ain't no feeling like a filled tag feeling. I like to refer to this sensation as floating around on cloud nine, and that's what Alex and I are fixing to do on this episode. We are enjoying the vibe of a couple of filled buck tags. I killed an old 15 point Iowa beast back in October and Alex shot a beautiful 8 point in Kansas on the first of December. We hope you enjoy sitting in on our retelling of these great deer stories from this season!
