    Great content, I always look forward to the next episode to learn more.

    One thing I’d like to see addressed, a lot of the guests you have on, their sound level is significantly different to yours. I’m not super technical but if your sound levels were closer to each other that would be a great improvement.

    Thanks for putting these out there.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Backcountry Elk Hunting with Horses and Mules - Truths NOBODY Tells YOU
Q: What is your approach for getting the horse and rider team ready for a backcountry elk hunt?
Balance prior riding and livestock experience with deliberate exposure to mountain conditions; start with a base camp to manage horses, then hunt daily with shorter, controlled trips to build confidence.
What POACHING in AFRICA Actually Looks Like - Craig Doria
Q: Craig, are these anti-poaching structures typically associated with commercial operations or independent collaborations with authorities?
They are generally connected with hunting companies or associations, but they must work closely with national parks and authorities; private armies are not acceptable, and formal collaborations are preferred.
Tahr or Elk? - Hunting NZ vs. Hunting The West
Q: How does over-the-counter hunting in Colorado compare to hunting tar in New Zealand? Is it harder or easier?
New Zealand hunting is harder in some ways due to rugged terrain and climate, but easier in terms of year-round access and fewer regulatory hurdles for some activities; success heavily depends on choosing the right spots and maintaining high fitness.
Tahr or Elk? - Hunting NZ vs. Hunting The West
Q: What does the opportunity look like now, Jurgen? Is the hay day gone for some of these species? Or is it still great hunting for all the species?
It's probably as good as it's ever been for international hunters, with the caveat that success depends on fitness, location, and timing, especially for tar and shammy when weather and access can change quickly.
Hunting Colorado in 2026 - Draw Details and Current Winter Conditions
Q: What impact will the 2028 tag allocation change have on current hunting plans?
Expect more point creep and some hunters shifting to lower-point units to secure tags, while overall opportunity remains in various units; planning will be less predictable than in the old system.
