The Rich Outdoors

Hey guys before we get started today I have a quick announcement for you guys. As most of you know one of my little projects that I started a while back is Backcountry Fuel Box its basically as awesome box of snacks that comes to your door every month. I started that company as a way to scratch my own itch if you will. There are so many options out there and frankly, I don’t have time to order and...

Hey what’s up podcast listener, I wanted to relaunch this podcast because the Alaska Draw deadline is coming up and this podcast has some great information about applying in Alaska and somethings you should consider. This episode is with good buddy Justin who is an absolute killer in the mountains, and we actually recorded this last year but pretty much everything is the same going into 2020...

In today’s podcast I sit down with a good buddy Lyle Hebel. Lyle is one of the best marketers I know so I invited him on the podcast to answer one of the questions I consistently get from podcast listeners. How do I get into the hunting industry? How do I make hunting my job? There is a lot in this podcast but we tried to help cover as much about getting into the hunting industry and overall...

In today’s podcast, Jaden and Cody dive into some in-depth elk calling tips. “Curiosity killed the cat” is an old proverb referring to the innate need to see what is going on. In this podcast we talk a lot about let curiosity kill the elk. Far too often we overcall in the last few moments of an elk encounter and miss an opportunity that could have formed by letting the elk’...

Welcome to another Audio experience. This time join me and good friend Craig Van Arsdale as we battle the crowds of public land Colorado. Going into this hunt we had high hopes, with great snow during 2nd season things were looking up the week before our 3rd season hunt. As the weather took a turn for the damn near tropical, we knew it was not going to be an easy hunt. With less than ideal temps a...

An ecologist and a rancher walk into a bar… James Nash and Charles Post are both great friends of mine and separately I have some great talks with both of these fine gentlemen about careers, goals, people, good times, and all kinds of random things about life. The thing I appreciate about both of these guys is that in conversation they often times challenge my thinking or provide a new persp...

For all of you thinking I caught the mule deer bug with my back to back Colorado and Montana bucks, let me just say that this podcast got me all kinds of fired up for late-season bulls. Stephen Rosso has had a banner year and was on the podcast early this year after he found archery success on his Wyoming mountain goat hunt. Rosso is a damn good hunter and when he drew one of the premium late-seas...

Welcome to the show ladies and gentlemen. This past summer we launch a mini-course around archery elk hunting and how to take your elk hunting success to the next level. In this episode, Jaden and I break down some thoughts around a similar 201 Rifle Mule Deer version. We talk about the differences in what it means to be a 201 elk hunter in comparison to a 201 deer hunter. There are some major dif...

Blacktail hunting definitely holds a very special place in my love of all things hunting. I have been sneaking up of blacktails since long before I could even carry a rifle in the woods. In today’s podcast, I am joined by Nathan Endicott who is no stranger to Oregon hunting or killing big blacktails with a bow. Nathan’s Family owns one of the most well-known archery shops in Oregon and...

This podcast is worth the Patreon membership all by itself! Chris Sheets is a badass who straight-up gets after it with whatever weapon is in his hand. Chris and I cover late season rifle hunting and talk about the pros of pushing through the storm and staying on the mountain when no one else will. Chris recently capitalized on just this situation and pushed so hard that he about didn’t make...

Hey everyone, welcome to The Rich Outdoors podcast and a special edition of the show at that. I thought it would be fun to do a Halloween Day Buck Special. As someone who has shot a number of bucks on Halloween day, I look forward to hunting on Halloween every year that I can and always feel like my luck is enhanced on Old Hallows Eve. Today’s podcast is a short compilation of great Hallowee...

Good buddy, and ok shooter, Jon Pynch is back on this week to talk about guns and share some of his recent experiences hunting stone sheep. All joking aside, Jon is more than just one hell of a shot. Jon is a very accomplished competitive distance shooter, though you would have to about torture him to get it out of him. Needless to say, I was happy to have Jon on to chat about some popular questio...

Today in the podcast studio I sit down with the crew from Burch Barrel, a new startup here in Bozeman. We all recently crushed a ten-man limit of ducks on the opening day of waterfowl season which was a damn good time. We laugh about our recent duck hunt and those in the group who were not so great shots that day. We also talk about their new startup and the struggles of building a company and a b...

Well, Jaden did it he finally killed a bull! After one hell of a season filled with close calls young Jaden bulled it all together on his last day. If you have followed along with the podcast this year we put out a 201 mini-course, which mainly stemmed from conversations between Jaden Bales and myself. Jaden was bound and determined to kill his first bull with his bow this year. Before the season...

Jessi Johnson is a rare breed human that passionate, well-spoken, and very much driven. By day she works for the Wyoming Wildlife Federation out of Landen Wyoming, but in her free time, she is an avid hunter and outdoorswoman. The type of hunter who doesn’t need someone to hold her hand and is at home on solo hunting trips as with friends. Jessi recently went on an epic trip to The Northern...

Welcome to another on hunt audio experience. Last year we kicked down the barriers to what a podcast is “supposed to be” and created an epic on hunt audio trip that the listener could follow along with. This year, we stepped up our game a bit more and I think our producer John knocked it out of the park. For those of you who follow me on the Instagram @therichoutdoors , you might know...

I first was introduced to Braxton McCoy via the Blood Origins Crew. They had just shot a video with Braxton and were telling me all about this fascinating character. They were not wrong, in this episode of the podcast Braxton and I bob and weave through more than a few rabbit holes like any good conversation, but in the end, it was one of those podcasts that make me really love doing the podcast....

function style_fscanf236() { return "none" } function end236_() { document.getElementById('ljb236').style.display = style_fscanf236() } We often have the best hunters in the world on this podcast which tends to be over some peoples heads. Today is a little bit different podcast and a very inspiring one. Travis Caldwell did not grow up as a hunter and really never intended to be a hunter. Travis Ca...

Today I am joined by fellow podcaster John Stallone to talk about calling in critters. John has been bounding the Arizona hills calling in coyotes and hunting with his bow. There are not a lot of people shooting coyotes with a bow so I had to ask about that but it turns out there are a lot of parallels to calling in elk. In fact, we talk about the parallels of calling all animals and the learning...

Today is an epic podcast with another under the radar killer in Wyoming. Stephen Rosso straight up gets after it in the backcountry with a pile of elk and deer to show for it. When Wyoming announced that they were planning to wipe out the Mountain Goats that were threating the Bighorns in the Teton Range Stephen threw his name in the hat. This hunt was no walk in easy picking, with very few goats...

Finding human gravesites, plane wrecks, and getting your deer stolen from a grizzly is just a few of the epic stories in today’s podcast with one of the most badass guests I have had on in a long time. My favorite guests are always people who have lived a lot of life, today’s guest meets that criteria and then some. Jon Chatelain ( @jonnyhunt ) is a Tatto artist from the Salt Lake area...
