We talk to Ray Crow of the Mule Deer Foundation. Ray is also director of operations for the Western Hunting & Conservation Expo and part owner of Arrowhead Wilderness Outfitters where I go to hunt black bear. We talk bear hunting in Minnesota and the Western Hunting & Conservation Expo in Salt Lake City and he tells the story of his hunt in southern Utah with a 257 Weatherby Magnum. 

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. 

Pure Oregon. Get a little insight into how to hunt the black bear with Elke Littleleaf Kirk, a native fishing guide from the Warm Springs Reservation.

We’re talking bear hunting and then we talk Bigfoot and hear a few of Elke’s personal encounters and what he has learned from the elders.

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. 

Just back from the desert and looking forward to several more deer hunts this season, we sit down with returning guest Brice Stanley to talk about mule deer hunting. How to be in the right place at the right time in The Magic Hour. 

You know you should be cleaning your rifle. But how often. And when? And where? And why? We have a quick conversation with Marcus Kahn of Modern Spartan Systems who provides some insight into range day and rifle cleaning. 

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.
