Welcome to The Rich Outdoors Podcast. Today I am joined by Willi Schmidt of Pure Hunting.

EP 255: How to Hunt on a College Budget

by

Welcome to the Rich outdoors podcast. Thank you guys so much for all the messages and DM’s this time of year it seems we get a ton of new listeners and I just want to say thank you and my apologies if we didn’t get back to you. Today’s podcast is with Mr. Jaden Bales, who has been a huge help to me over the last year and I can’t thank him enough. Jaden has been helping me with social media and various other tasks as the podcast grows. Going back to last January we did a podcast with Mike and Angela Haralson about financial planning for hunting, which has had thousands of downloads and a ton of feedback. Jaden had the idea that we should also do a podcast about hunting on a college budget. After reminiscing about all of our hunting trips during those broke ass college days we decided to just hit record and go over some tips to hunting on the cheap. This was a fun episode and if you enjoy this podcast be sure to go back and check out Ep 198 with Mike and Angela. Also, Stay tuned after the show for an iTunes 5 star shoutout and free gear!

EP 249: Randy Newberg

by


Welcome to the show, and what a show do we have today. My guest today is Randy Newberg who needs no introduction and I am honored that he took the time out of his incredibly busy schedule to sit down and chat with me about elk hunting, life and everything in between. I originally wanted to have randy on for a Wapiti Wednesday episode, but we covered so much more, the conversation was so great I couldn’t just talk elk with Randy. Randy is someone I look up to for many reasons, he is a great entrepreneur and an innovator in the outdoor space. In this episode, we do talk all kinds of elk hunting and how to be an efficient hunter, but we also cover the highs and lows when you’re constantly hunting in new areas. If there’s one thing Randy Newberg has mastered, it’s e-scouting, and maximizing your time on a hunt. With his crazy schedule, Randy has to take full advantage of every minute on a hunt, so he always goes into a hunt knowing absolutely everything he can about the area. If you have limited time to hunt this year, then this is a must listen!

EP 246: Restless Native

by

Hey everyone, welcome to the podcast. Recently I joined my buddy Brad on his podcast Restless Native. Brad is a great entrepreneur and great interviewer. He also built the goWild App that you have probably heard me talk about. I always enjoy chatting with him, but I wanted to share this episode with you guys because I really enjoyed the conversation around entrepreneurship and dream chasing. There is Also some great stories that have definitely never been told on my podcast. Even though this is episode 246 I don’t usually tell my own stories and don’t talk about myself much. Brad not only pulled some good stories out but pulled some secrets from my sister about some really old hunting stories. That’s a next level interviewer.
Anyway hope you guys enjoy and be sure to check out Brad’s podcast Restless Native Brad does a great job and has had some great guests on there like Ben Obrien, Buck Robinson, Stephen Holley and more.

This episode is brought to you by GoWild the ultimate app for hunting, fishing and the outdoors. We Actually just had Brad and John from goWild on the show and had a blast getting to know those guys and getting a behind the scenes look at why they built the app and some of the really cool features within the app. The GoWild app has a ton of cool features but one of the coolest features is the proprietary new scoring system that allows you to enter in your trophies and be scored on much more than just the inches of antler. Their scoring algorithm takes into consideration things like the weapon used, distance of the shot, public or private land. This gives you the ability to compete with your buddies even if he shot his buck with a bow and you shot yours with a rifle. The app also allows you to log time for things like hours scouted, or checking trail cameras. The team over at goWild understands that its more than just how many inches of horn a buck has, it is about the whole experience. Go check out the episode we and then go download the app. Its free and the best part is they do a ton of gear giveaways all the time!

EP 237: Mental Toughness and Becoming MTN Tough

by

Today I am joined by Dustin Diefenderfer of right here in Bozeman Montana. Born and raised in Montana Dustin is a beast on the mountain and loves to push the limits. I met Dustin through the MTN Tough Course here in Bozeman and got the chance to test it out over the last couple months. You have probably heard the ads for this course on the podcast and Dustin is the man behind the scene for the MTN Tough program.
In this episode, Dustin and I dive into the mental toughness aspect of being a backcountry hunter. Not only is this one of my favorite pieces of the puzzle but also what I feel is the difference between being good and being great. We also dive into how hunting has such a much larger impact on making you a better human than is often talked about. Dustin is one of those guys who pushes the group and is always leading both mentally and physically. I really love this episode and believe this is one of the most underrated aspects to any backcountry hunt.
For over a year, behind the scenes MTNTOUGH has been building an online training program specifically designed for Backcountry Hunters They have assembled an impressive team for this task, including a former Navy Seal, a former Army Colonel who instructed physical education at Westpoint, and couple trainers with decades of experience. I tested the program here in Bozeman, with Dustin Diefenderfer, the founder of MTN TOUGH and let me tell you this program will kick your butt. Over the years I have done a ton of various work out programs. with the last couple years spending most of my time running and using kettle-bells  I was in pretty good shape when I started this workout and quickly realized this program is going to crush muscles I forgot I had.  Make sure and go to mtntough.com to get on the waiting list to be one of the first to get access to the program in June.
Oh, and MTN TOUGH is giving away 3 LIFETIME MEMBERSHIPS to 3 winners who have their name on the waiting list.

  • What an awesome Muley Monday we have for you this week. South Cox (@stalkerstickbows) is someone I have looked up to for years, and honestly the first time I ever interviewed him I was as nervous and excited as if I were stalking a 200 inch buck. Over the last couple of years, I have gotten to know South pretty well, which made jumping on the podcast with him this time a much better podcast. South a legend in when it comes to bowhunting and I love his mindset both on the mountain and off. South recently launched a new video that he has been working on the last couple of years and it turned out amazing! In this episode, we dive into all kinds of high country stalking questions and dilemmas that arise throughout a hunt. We also talk about understanding when to make a stalk, and when not to stalk, which can be that difference between making it happen and a long walk out for nothing. This episode is packed full of little golden nuggets of information throughout. I can’t thank South enough for sharing his knowledge as well as putting out such great content for all of us to drool over. Thanks to sponsors @onxhunt @solotargets and @backcountryfuel #muleyfreak #muleymonday #muledeerhunting #archerydeer #tradlife #stalkerstickbows #stickbow #huntingstories
