Chasing Tales Outdoors Podcast

This week I was joined by my dear friend, Derek Varnum as we recap an awesome three days of bowhunting whitetails in the Sunshine State! Derek and I set out on some primo public land and chose the run n gun lifestyle while the wives were gone for the New Years! We had a blast and laughed until we were sore, learned a lot, and at the end of the weekend one of us was attacked by a Black Bear!!If you'd like to contribute to the show, we now have a Patreon account set up and you donate directly there.

This week I am joined by a fellow Saddle Hunter and die hard whitetail hunter, Ted Bright. Ted has a unique way of looking at outcomes in the deer woods that many of us could learn from. Hailing from the land of milk and honey, Missouri, Ted employs Beast style tactics to get deep into areas others may not wish to go in order to chase mature whitetails. He shares his highest high and lowest low while saddle hunting, and we laugh a lot along the way. I hope you enjoy, and if you do, tell a friend!If you'd like to contribute to the show, we now have a Patreon account set up and you donate directly there. Just follow the link below!

This week we get to share some exciting news with an old friend of the podcast. This week, Sean Curran returns and I have the privilege to announce that Chasing Tales Outdoors will be partnering with the Sportsmen's Alliance! If you are new to the show, you may not have heard the previous episode that I recorded with Sean, but I encourage you to go back and give it a listen (Episode 44 - Sean Curran & the $700 Bird).Sean and I explore how the Sportsmen's Alliance is an absolutely critical organization that is working to support our outdoor heritage in a way that no other is...in the courts. Sportsmen's Alliance fights the legislation & lawsuits that seek to limit or eliminate our outdoor pursuits and has a 95% success ratio in the court. I highly encourage you to listen to Sean, and join the Sportsmen's Alliance today. https://www.sportsmensalliance.org/https://www.facebook.com/sportsmensalliance/ https://www.instagram.com/sportsmensall/?hl=en If you'd like to contribute to the show, we now have a Patreon account set up and you donate directly there.

On this week's episode we are talking BEAR HUNTING. That's right, we are talking bowhunting Bear in Virginia. This week's guest is a very dear friend of mine who has helped me grow as an outdoorsman, aided and guided my path back into traditional archery, and has been an invaluable supporter of the podcast. We will be sharing the story of his recent bear kill, the complex recovery, and discuss what he learned from this hunt.

Waterfowl! That's the topic of this week's episode, and I am lucky beyond measure to have one of the best waterfowl hunting shows as this week's guest. Joey, from the webseries Passion of Pursuit, joins the show this week and boy did we have a blast sharing stories, tips, and discussing what the future holds for his platform. If you are wanting some of the best waterfowl hunting tv you can find, go watch Joey and his crew as they travel the states in search of the next flock of ducks.  http://passionofpursuit.com/ https://www.carbontv.com/shows/passion-of-pursuit/ If you'd like to contribute to the show, we now have a Patreon account set up and you donate directly there.

This week we discuss part two of the hunt in Kansas with Chase Prince. We recorded the first episode many episodes ago (Episode 17) in August of 2017 and we outlined how Chase picked Kansas for his out of state whitetail hunt. We covered the public land decision, the expectations going into the hunt, and some of the gear that he took on that episode. On this episode, Chase recounts his days in the Kansas woods chasing his dream buck. After all, Kansas is the land of giants. I traveled to his home to record this episode and it was a blast to hang out with him for the day. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. If you'd like to contribute to the show, we now have a Patreon account set up and you donate directly there. Just follow the link below!

This week we bring to you a semi-live elk hunt off of Idaho public lands. Preston and Jack, from the DIY hunter join us on their way to Idaho to chase bulls in some of the most beautiful land in the West. Every so often, when they are back at camp, they are going to call and we are going to record an update for y'all so you can follow along with them every step of the way. On this episode we outline why they picked Idaho, three of the most underappreciated gear items they packed, and they shared their expectations for the trip.

September is here! That means that you are likely either chasing elk in the backcountry, or counting down the days until you can climb into a treestand to chase a whitetail. If you prefer the latter, this week's episode may interest you. Kyle Null was kind enough to join me on the show and discuss whitetail hunting in his home state of Alabama, tips and advice for those who are just getting into archery before the upcoming season, and we also talk about his company New Breed Archery. You can very easily recognize that Kyle is a die hard bowhunter and archer, and that his company resembles who he is as an outdoorsman.

If you think the Fall is just for hunting, you are dead wrong. If your hunting season hasn't began, or if you're just a glutton for punishment and want another outdoor passion to consume what precious time you have remaining, I have the solution. Take up bowfishing! This week we sat down and talked with Garrett Benner and we discuss all things bowfishing in Maryland. Garrett is a die hard outdoorsman, and he lives and breathes bowfishing. In fact, he said all it takes for him to be bowfishing is a lack of ice! We discuss the cownose ray, the current conservation issues they face, and what the largery body of evidence says about their growing population. Garrett films all of his outdoor adventures and posts them to YouTube so you can follow him along.  Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss a single minute.Here are a few of Garrett's bowfishing videos:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0JDwqBVY3U&t=3s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y65xFWG7BoQ Be sure to listen to the entire podcast as we have a giveaway at the end.

  Do you like surprises? Good, because this week we are full of them. This week, we did an ol' swith-a-roo and Preston Mullens of the DIY Hunter is the Host, and I am just his lacky. This week's guest is the Founder and Host of TradGeeks, Kevin Murrow.

This week I am joined by my little brother and the topic is Fly Fishing for Trout in North Georgia. Recently, my family came to visit and I was able to coax him into discussing his biggest passion on the podcast.

We are back! This week I am glad to be talking DEER HUNTING again. We are only a few weeks away from September and I am ready to be in the deer stand. In the meantime, I am scouting and listening to as much hunting content as I possibly can while doing so. In case you're in need of a good deer hunting story, this week we have Dan Johnson on to talk about his terrific buck from last year. Dan Johnson ... yep, that's Dan from the Nine Fingers Chronicles podcast and it was a blast to record with him. I hope you enjoy the podcast, and if you do be sure and subscribe to his podcast.

We are back again with another episode and this time we are taking you to another continent! That's right, we are headed to South Africa on this week's episode. Before I tell you what we discussed on this episode, let me tell you that this week's guest has been absolutely intrumental to my bowhunting and archery skills. Without him knowing I had followed him on various forums and learned as he shared his information selflessly and I am so glad he took over an hour of his evening to chat with me. This week's episode features Derik Still and we discussed his South African bowhunting adventure. Derik elaborates on his hunting set up, how to plan and execute the trip, what to expect when you get there, and he also shares a few of the stories from his recent trip. Unforuntately for y'all we ran out of time to discuss the entire trip, but Derik offered to comeback on the show and record part two so be on the lookout for that!You can follow Derik by clicking one of the links below.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM1xkGAuWYTlG0-VxSoUNXghttps://www.instagram.com/the_pasinthrough/ We would also like to thank our most recent patron Sean Clarkson.
