Fishing the Deschutes River in central Oregon with with Amy Hazel. Amy and her husband John own Deschutes Angler Fly Shop in Maupin so they are located in the center of all the action the Deschutes has to offer. The Deschutes cuts through the middle of the state and runs for 252 miles from its' headwaters in southern Oregon to the mouth where it flows into the Columbia River. The Deschutes has a strong population of Summer Steelhead and "redside" trout that make the Deschutes a jewel among the rivers out west. There are a few rules involved in fishing the Deschutes but those rules are also how this amazing fishery stays available to anyone who may want to catch fish there.

EP9 Turkey hunting on public land with Wil Askew

On today's episode we talk to Wil Askew about hunting turkeys on public land. Recently I was lucky enough to join Wil on two hunts on public land in Washington. After those hunts we sat down in the turkey woods to record this podcast. We talk about how he got into turkey hunting years ago and how that has become one of his favorite species to pursue. We also break down some of the calls he uses, what they mean, and when he uses them. Along with the calls Wil keeps moving, working to find a responsive bird. A technique often referred to as run and gun. I enjoyed hunting with Wil, seeing how he gets it done in turkey country. I learned a lot and I hope you do as well, enjoy the podcast.

EP11 Sitka Blacktail Deer in August w/ Shannon Mobbs and Cory Ford of Angry Spike Productions

On this episode I sit down with Shannon Mobbs and Cory Ford of Angry Spike Productions to talk about their recent Sitka Blacktail hunt in SE Alaska. This was a true DIY adventure hunt, on public land with over the counter tags. They picked a remote island in Tongass National Forest and tackled the Alaskan wilderness head on. They worked through a few obstacles of course. Things like steep mountains, rugged terrain, biting bugs, and one lost quiver of arrows. But I'll let them tell the story...... Enjoy the podcast.
