    EP 601: Aggression, Instincts and Finding Your Hunting Style with Jared Miller
    Jan 23 2026
    This episode features Jared Miller, a highly experienced and successful hunter from Montana that loves to chase a variety of species with both the bow and the rifle. The show kicks off with a lesson-filled elk hunting story from this past season and then shifts into the benefits of competing in precision rifle matches, optics, rifles and ballistics, and ultimately mindset and motivations for why we hunt. Jared is a guy worth following (if you don't already) and does an incredible job of sharing his experiences in a way that's sincere and meant to help anyone level up in their hunting and shooting pursuits. NOTABLE QUOTES: "Figure out what it is that gets you excited and is going to give you a good story that you wanna tell and do that. Don't worry about what I do or anybody else does." @jaredmillermt --------------------------- DEALS & PARTNERS: For over 100 years Leica has set the standard for premium optics.

    EP 600: Trust Your Eyes, Not the Specs with Hamilton Boykin of Leica
    Jan 16 2026
    This episode features Hamilton Boykin, the Product and Training Manager for Leica, with seventeen years of experience at the company. With his wealth of experience in the optics industry, not just with Leica, Hamilton lays out the key points of differentiation between Leica and the vast number of options on the market today. Hamilton brings a measured, honest approach to the show and takes us inside the optics industry so you can make the best decision possible when it comes time to invest in whatever optics you need for whatever species you hunt.

  • EP 599: De-Listing Wolves & Conservation Battles with John Stallone of HOWL For Wildlife

    EP 599: De-Listing Wolves & Conservation Battles with John Stallone of HOWL For Wildlife
    Jan 9 2026
    For the first show of 2026, the focus is on current conversation trends and the ongoing fight to preserve the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. John has been on the podcast before, and as a key leader at HOWL, he brings a ton of experience to the show, both in the field and in fighting conservation battles across North America. A crucial and timely topic he covers is the current opportunity to have wolves de-listed federally (in the U.S.) so that states and regional wildlife managers can do what's right for their jurisdictions and the wildlife and people in those jurisdictions. NOTABLE QUOTES: "You can spend $2,000 on a bow each year, you can buy a $7,000 long range rifle, but you can't spend $30 a year to protect what it is that you spent all this money to do in the first place?" @howl_org @johnstallone SUPPORT DE-LISTING WOLVES JOIN HOWL FOR WILDLIFE --------------------------- DEALS & PARTNERS: For over 100 years Leica has set the standard for premium optics.

  • EP 598: Awards, Trophies and Defining Failure with Tanner Dannish of Frontiersmen Gear

    EP 598: Awards, Trophies and Defining Failure with Tanner Dannish of Frontiersmen Gear
    Dec 19 2025
    Tanner Dannish, a regular on BTK and the owner and founder of Frontiersmen Gear, returns for a breakdown of the Ram Awards that will be part of the Wild Sheep Society of BC's convention schedule for 2026. With an eye towards hunting heritage and a clear conservation ethos behind the awards being presented, Tanner unpacks why he felt it was important to bring these awards back to the BC mountain hunting community and how they're different from many of the awards given out at other conventions. Later in the show, the topic of failure and what makes a hunt a truly successful hunt is debated. NOTABLE QUOTES: "When you look at the quality of animals that we have and the amount of hunting you can do here in BC, it's a very special place, so we're trying to honour that." @wildsheepsocietybc @frontiersmengear LINK TO AWARDS SUBMISSIONS AND NOMINATIONS REGISTER FOR THE 2026 MOUNTAIN HUNTING EXPO REGISTER FOR THE 2026 NORTHERN FUNDRAISER --------------------------- DEALS & PARTNERS: For over 100 years Leica has set the standard for premium optics.

    Dec 12 2025
    In the early months of 2026, the Wild Sheep Society of BC will yet again be hosting two of the best events in the mountain and backcountry hunting and conservation space: their Northern Fundraiser and Mountain Hunting Expo & Salute to Conservation. Kyle Stelter, CEO of the WSSBC, hopped on the mics to chat about these incredible events and all the reasons to attend. Whether you're new to the mountain hunting space or a seasoned backpack hunter, there is simply no question that these shows are more than worth the price of admission. If you live in an adjacent province or state and love mountain and backcountry hunting, these events are not to be missed. NOTABLE QUOTES: "There are ton of great shows out there, but we really wanted to focus on that mountain hunting community, and we've been true to that." @wildsheepsocietybc REGISTER FOR THE 2026 MOUNTAIN HUNTING EXPO REGISTER FOR THE 2026 NORTHERN FUNDRAISER --------------------------- DEALS & PARTNERS: For over 100 years Leica has set the standard for premium optics.

    After ruffling more than a few feathers a couple episodes back, Nolan Osborne returns to expand on the pointed opinions voiced as it relates to rifles, shooting, ethics, tech, and gear.

    EP 595: Land: They're Not Making Any More of It – With Landquest's Sam Hodson
    Nov 28 2025
    On this episode, Sam Hodson, President of BC's Landquest Realty, unpacks how to achieve the dream of owning a rural or recreational property and why, in most cases, land is an investment you won't ever regret. Sam is also an avid hunter and outdoorsman and shares a great Roosevelt elk hunting story to kick off the episode. From recreational hunting and fishing properties to leaving the city to live on that rural property you've always dreamed of, Sam covers the ins and outs of how to make owning a piece of land in BC, regardless of where you live, a reality.

  • EP 594: Salty Guide Sh*t with NMO

    EP 594: Salty Guide Sh*t with NMO
    Nov 14 2025
    On this episode, the enigmatic Nolan Osborne is back. Fresh off his guiding season in Northern BC, we get some stories but, more than anything else, a salty guide rant about what makes a truly versatile hunting rifle and why he thinks the community may be losing the plot when it comes to choosing what to take afield. NOTABLE QUOTES: "Whatever happened to being comfortable shooting a rifle that didn't have a 17-ounce trigger, that didn't weigh f&#king ten pounds, didn't have a muzzle brake on it, and actually having some fundamentals with something that's not basically a cheat code." @nmo Terminus Mountain Outfitters Alpine Riflecraft --------------------------- DEALS & PARTNERS: For over 100 years Leica has set the standard for premium optics.
