Antlerless Podcast

This is a shortie- I talked to my dad about the first time I went hunting with him, got his advice to other parents that have a daughter who wants to hunt, and heard about his most eventful hunting trip.

In this episode, Matt joins Andrea to talk about his elk hunt, Squirrel Team Six, and her whitetail hunt... which, while it didn't result in any venison for the freezer, definitely yielded some wild public land stories.

This is the 3rd and final episode about Andrea's first archery deer and elk hunt. She talks about what makes her good at living (mostly) alone in the backcountry, a wild game exchange with her camp neighbors, more moose stories, hunting low, hunting high again, and finally getting a shot.

In this episode, Andrea muses about why people get so bent out of shape about predator hunting and why she's not qualified to come to her own conclusions based on available peer reviewed research about wildlife management. Then, she walks through how her season and hunting style evolved as she progressed into winter.

This episode, I talk to Dreya Grangroth. She's a hunting guide for Bear Creek Outfitters in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, co-owner of Ridge Patrol clothing, and future author. Listen in to hear her story about growing up in a strict religious family, and how hunting and the outdoors has not only shaped most of her life, but also provided her with peace and healing. We also discuss her move from the Pacific Northwest to Colorado to work for a raft guide, her close run-ins with mountain lions and bears, and what it's like to work in a male dominated field.
