PC 328 - Everyday Joe’s Gaining Hunting Access.

This is an awesome podcast with two local residents and Nock On Nation members who are at the early stages of becoming a bowhunters. Joe Wickemeyer and Tony Vizcarra are both awesome everyday guys that have grown to love archery and bowhunting. They are self taught and starting to navigate booking their own hunts and getting new experiences as the broaden their interest. Prior to season I wanted to sit down and connect them with the new LandTrust website (an AirBnB style app to hunt private lands DIY for affordable cost) They have absolutely loved the ease to see new areas and had great experiences. For this podcast we sit down to talk about how they got into archery, the learning curves, getting over some hurdles and their takeaways from their first western hunts.
I would encourage you to visit the LandTrust website to see first hand what we like so much about it. here’s the link

PC 327 - Tech Talk with PJ Reilly from Lancaster Archery Supply

We sat down with PJ Reilly and we talked about the thought process and engineering that I went into creating the PSE Unite, which was released at 2023 ATA in Indianapolis. And then we just talk about a whole lot of cool archery stuff that I have been involved with through the years.

PC 326 - MAKE A STAND

Preserve, Promote & Protect our hunting rights!
This podcast is with Dylan Ray & Jason Rounsaville from the Pope&Young club. We sit down at the ATA show to talk about some critical topics and make an announcement about the future. To defend our passion, we must be committed, we must be vigilant, and we must be united. This is not a fight reserved only for those in the record books. We need every bowhunter, and potential bowhunter to join our ranks.
Now is the time for us to Preserve, Promote, and Protect our Heritage, our Legacy, and our Future. 

PC 325 - The Road Warrior!

Podcast 325 is with Chris Janson who is one of the best entertainers in music. Chris and I meet up for a podcast as we cross paths out West. Janson is a focused hunter but more importantly, a dedicated family man and amazing dad. I wanted to sit down with him and dig deeper into what brought him into hunting but also how this salt of the earth dude lives an American Dream by going from the sticks to the Grand Ole Opry.

PC 324 - Blast From The Past With Les Welch

This podcast is with Les Welch, an awesome dude I was reunited with in recent years. Les has an amazing timeline in the archery industry. He and I met in a remote camp once and teamed up to double down on two velvet whitetails. We both looked so different that it was a shock seeing him at the Total Archery Challenge events last year. Recently, he and I teamed up all Summer working with all levels of archers and enjoying the experiences of TAC. Les is a savage bowhunter, has a great backcountry portfolio and represents several great companies in the industry.

PC 323 - Andy’s Awesome Sauce

This podcast is with my good buddy, Andy Stumpf. We met up in Utah for a few hours and recorded an entertaining conversation about several ridiculous topics. This podcast was originally recorded for Andy’s Cleared Hot Podcast but I thought it would be a good listen for the #NockOnNation as well.

PC 322 - Making Hunting Easier & Better For All!

This is the missing link! We've discovered how to make hunting easier and better for all! On this podcast, I throw on the headsets with Nic De Castro of @LandTrust_Hunt and John Barklow of @SitkaGear at the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Mountain Fest in Park City, Utah. We talk about the critical components of ACCESS & ETIQUETTE. With the increasing challenges of public land hunting, Nic introduces a  new, really awesome service that allows private land hunting access to the general public. We also discuss hunting etiquette and the importance of all hunters doing their part in learning, teaching and embracing proper hunting etiquette and woodsmanship. This is a power-packed hour loaded with valuable information for all hunters! Now available wherever you listen to your podcasts!
 
John Barklow has developed clothing & equipment systems for the military & hunting industries and is a leader at Sitka. He has also taught the skills & mindset required to live in remote wilderness, trained Search & Rescue teams and Special Operations units how to thrive in dynamic mountain environments and educates constantly on his Knowledge From Storms platform. 
 
Nic De Castro is a visionary with a very unique new way for hunters to access new lands for hunting. Barklow and I see this as a critical link between new hunters and the ability to access land and build relationships as stewards of the lands we hunt. 

PC 321 - Evolving as a Bowhunter with Matt Read

There’s a lot of my progression through my hunting career that I’ve never really explained. It was a progressive journey that started on a small family place and grew into public hunting but then was slowly built into understanding private land hunting. Although I have never gone into detail on this in the past it all surfaced during a recent passion project with HuntWise app team. This awesome discussion happened as I sat down with huge assets to bowhunting Matt Read. Matt takes me and the viewers on an in depth tour of the powerful HuntWise app and all of the incredible features it provides to hunters to make them more knowledgeable and more successful. As we navigated the app I had distant memories surface that is such a critical step for new hunters to hear. I really enjoyed this podcast because we revealed how to climb the ladder of a new hunter to where I currently am.L! Also as an added bonus to our podcast listeners, HuntWise is giving the Nock On Nation a 25% discount off the app, which can be found at get.huntwise.com/nockon
Go check it out! You won't regret it!

PC 320 - Becoming a Better Bowhunter with Nate Huizenga

In this podcast, I sit down with Nate Huizenga who is an interesting new addition to the “grass roots” hunting community. He has such a cool story on becoming a hunter and I was curious to dig deeper. This podcast was the segue to me realizing the parallels of the Nock On Nation and the HuntWise Team. The definition of ETHOS is “the characteristic spirit of a culture, era, or community as manifested in its beliefs and aspirations”. When I first met with the HuntWise Team, it was obvious that their ethos closely matched my ethos and my passion to provide education and knowledge to help bowhunters be better. I am really pumped about this partnership and what it means for furthering our educational platform for the Nock On Nation!

PC 319 - Tales from the Hunt With Mike Slinkard.

On this podcast I talk with my good buddy Mike Slinkard who is an industry veteran and amazing hunter. I like to have a conversation each season with Mike prior to Spring hunting. He’s a wealth of knowledge and we talk about his recent hunt for a massive Costal Brown Bear that he shot under 20 yards and then we dive into some great information. I pick his brain about common mistakes hunters make for both Mule Deer and Elk!
