Jake Downs
Earn Your Hunt
I’m a blue collar family man that hunts 150 + days a year. This podcast is a place for me to answer questions, do hunt recaps, rant about funny things that happen to me as a dad or on the job site, and most importantly try to get the info out there to guys who want to hunt as much as the “insta-fluencers” but don’t think it’s attainable as an average, everyday, normal guy.. I’m here to tell you it’s 100% doable through hard work and some lucky/smart decisions. I’ll share things I’ve learned over the years to build this lifestyle I’m blessed with and hopefully a few laughs at my expense.

CULT NO MORE 13.03.2025 1:22:16
So nice to be able to wear a kifaru again without having to feel like I have to wear a baby gap shirt and get an arrow tattooed on my arm 😂 Now that the cult leader has been removed I can feel good about using the gear I’ve used for 10 ish years.. In this podcast I give my initial impressions of the ARC frame and compare it to the slew of other packs I’ve used over the last 2 years. Then a little...
SWAMP PIGS 08.03.2025 38:47

GARRETT & NINA RASCH 08.02.2025 49:59
Hangin out with friends, bullshitting, and praying for season! Always a good time when me and Garrett get together! And somehow we talked his lovely wife Nina, into jumping on the shittiest podcast on the internet machine!! 😂 Great people, good conversation, and shitty host..!
MY SON IS COOLER THAN ME!! 01.02.2025 34:06
How many 4 year olds have shot a ln animal with a recurve bow? There’s way more shit that I talked about in this podcast, but honestly, I don’t remember much of it, PLUS none of it compares to the fact that my son is cooler than me.😂
SHOOTIN CACTUS 17.01.2025 59:24
Fox hunting, my sons first hunt away from home, learning how to deal with the mental battle between making hunting fun for the kids and wanting to be successful..
AIN’T OVER TILL IT’S OVER 06.01.2025 49:02
Wrapping up 2024 with a last day of the year AZ deer!
FAILURES 27.12.2024 1:21:18
As always with every years successes comes plenty of shortcomings and failures. Most people don’t talk about it on their podcast, but I figured what the hell nobody listens anyway. 😎
KIDS CAST 20.12.2024 46:02
This one’s a little different! The kids join me for a few minutes to tell a few hunting stories. And then I go over a few things about being a dad 😂 DON’T SKIP THIS ONE.. GIVEAWAY EXPLAINED!!! 🤓🌈🦄🏳️🌈
HUNTIN WIT YUTES 06.12.2024 1:06:54
My kids are tougher than 90% of influencers and you will never change my mind about that! Hunting turkeys with little man, getting pulled over and racially profiled, and just all around living in the Dad life.. you’re not gonna wanna miss this one… or do I don’t give a shit..
LET’S GET CANCELED JAY NICHOL 27.11.2024 1:38:06
This is a podcast I did with Jay Nichol of Mindful Hunter, who by the way is one of the only “gear reviewers” I believe is legit and not bought and paid for. We somehow did not discuss gear.. too much shit to talk an BS’n to do, maybe next time! Social media… Rogan/Hanes/ Rinela/ Snyder discussing… and a few stories and rabbit holes along the way.. WOW THAT MIGHT NE THE LONGEST PODCAST DESCRIPTION...
GET A REAL JOB 19.11.2024 53:55
If you don’t like industry bashing, maybe don’t listen to this one! Go listen to a podcast where the no name wannabe host with three doe to his name, licks the ego 🍆 of some Egotistical, “ famous,” poacher! 😎
HUNTIN MULLIES & RHINOS 08.11.2024 1:03:38
Talkin shit (as always) is it shit talk if it’s true? Killin deer and crushing leg humper souls… 😎
I’M BACK BITCHES 05.11.2024 40:42
“Did you hear Jake’s back on social..?” “Jake who? Downs? Never heard of him… did I show you my new Sitka skirt? Goes great with my Crispi high heels..”
MTN TO MARATHON 18.10.2024 55:42
Is hunting good training for a marathon… Thought the Rocky Mountains would be a little rockier than this… That Cam Hanes guy is full of shit 😂… oh ya… and fuck social media…
BECAUSE YOU ASKED 09.10.2024 1:04:23
Just cuz…
SOCIAL MEDIA HIATUS 20.09.2024 54:03
I TALK REASONS FOR MY SOCIAL MEDIA ABSENCE HUNT SCHEDULE AND UPDATE - LIKE YOU GIVE A SHIT! RANT ABOUT WORK STUFF #EARCANDY
ELK HUNTING SUCKS 16.09.2024 57:04
Title pretty much sums it up..
NOBODY’S HOME 06.09.2024 1:21:08
Barren ground caribou take their name seriously.. I’ve never seen so much country without an animal in it 😂 when you go on a hunt timing is everything ESPECIALLY a migrating animal! I recap my latest adventure up to Nunavut and crying in my Cheerios a bit about missing the migration.
EASY BUTTON 06.09.2024 56:06
Every hunter likes to think he/she ( let’s be honest this is a male trait) is working/hunting harder than every other guy out there.. LETS JUST STOP.. just go enjoy the outdoors without beating your chest and thinking everyone else has it easier… #publicland🌈 oh ya.. I also recap my most recent antelope hunt in SD, but I was sitting over a water hole.. So.. does it even count…?
IS IT SEASON YET?🌈 17.08.2024 1:11:44
Headed for the first hunt of the fall.. rambling as always but if you hang in there I eventually finish my thoughts.. most of them anyway.. topics covered: social media, super slam, kids, and some other stuff I’ve already forgotten..
PREPPIN GEAR 12.08.2024 1:00:40
Only a week out from season, prepping gear and talking about what I’m using this year.. (like anyone cares) BUT none of the gear advice is influenced by money or “sponsorship” SO that’s something I guess….
WHO’S ON YO BACK 02.08.2024 49:22
For lack of a better things to talk about, since it’s not quite hunting season yet, I go over everybody’s favorite topic… Which pack company’s Cool Aid is worth a sip… Honestly, I don’t really give a shit what you wear, packs are super subjective regardless of what the company’s try to lead you to believe. Spoiler…. I end up with a few different brands on my back.. CUZ THERE’S NOT ONE PACK FOR EVE...
AWKWARD OLD MAN 26.07.2024 55:29
Why you’re a douche… public VS private land.. earnin the hunt one school/family reunion at a time! And what it’s like to start realizing your super old and awkward when your out on the town… oh ya and my wife’s reaction to this years hunt schedule 😬
HUNTING ADJACENT 12.07.2024 43:37
No clue… but it’s content.. and I know you require my dumbass ramblings weekly… so…. Here you go!
