  • The way hunting should be!

    Enough with all the high end gear and other BS. Hunting is about you and the animal. Be in shape. Practice. Enjoy what nature makes you endure during the hunt. Be respectful of the game hunted and be as proficient/ethical as possible. There are no shortcuts.

  • Host is way too talkative

    I tried to listen. I gave it my best shot, but too many words from the host got my ears feeling like toast.

  • Good show but be more secretive on location

    More and more lately they are making it very obvious where a lot of the hunts they talk about are happening. If you’re a person who found a hunting area through research and hard work it sucks to hear people on a popular podcast blowing it up.

    Keep up the great show, but please use caution when you’re talking about what small town pub you hit after a great hunt or what date the area opened if it’s specific to select areas.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP 621: A Lifetime of Strength with Jeff Sokol
Q: Why is consistency so important in training for hunters?
Consistency creates a reliable base of strength, mobility, and endurance that translates to real-world hunting tasks, such as climbing, carrying game, and long days in the field.
EP 621: A Lifetime of Strength with Jeff Sokol
Q: What would you tell your 25-year-old self about training?
Focus on training smarter, prioritizing recovery, and building a sustainable routine rather than chasing maximal intensity; starting kettlebell work earlier would have accelerated overall strength and longevity.
EP 618: The Oldest Way of Life There Is
Q: Why the emphasis on long-form, gritty storytelling over product reviews?
Ron shares a deliberate choice to prioritize authentic stories and skills-focused content, allowing writers freedom and aiming to feel more like a book than a traditional magazine, with art and layout playing a crucial role.
EP 618: The Oldest Way of Life There Is
Q: So where did Trad Hunters start, and how did the idea evolve into print?
Ron explains the origin from Standing Wolf Archery into Trad Hunters, driven by a wish to revive 50s- and 60s-style hunting imagery and storytelling, and how early design, contributor involvement, and a strategic decision to print during tariff constraints shaped the magazine.
EP 617: Training & Recovery Strategies That Help You Execute When It Matters with Rob Wilson
Q: How do you balance training load with recovery and personal life so you're ready when the moment matters?
Focus on needs analysis and outcome-driven planning, pair down volume to what provides the best return on time, integrate sleep and sleep quality improvements as non-negotiables, and use breathing-based strategies to maintain physiologic composure in critical moments while tracking baseline metrics to know what works for you.
