The Rich Outdoors show

Summary: <a href="http://www.therichoutdoors.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/jim01.jpg"></a><br> Jim Burnworth is about as successful as they come in the hunting industry–on all levels. Jim has taken over a thousand big game animals in his career including 71 elk to date. So we chatted about his system and routines that he uses or does to make him the hunter he is. We also talked about western hunting in general and what species of animal will hone a hunter’s skill the most. This turned out to be a killer conversation with a ton of takeaways on how to become better hunters, bowmen, conservationists, and outdoorsmen in general. We also cover some of Jim’s other passions such as hot rods and hunting for old gems while on hunts for big game.<br> <br>  <br> <a href="http://www.therichoutdoors.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/2015-Jim-Burnworth.jpg"></a> <a href="http://www.therichoutdoors.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/jim6.jpg"></a> <a href="http://www.therichoutdoors.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/jim10.jpg"></a><br>  <br> Show Notes:<br> <br> * Background<br> * Early mentors<br> * Being a shooter vs. a hunter<br> * Routines and shot sequence<br> * Knowing your distance and capability<br> * Preparing for a shot<br> * Knowing your equipment<br> * Jim’s technique for becoming the best shooter<br> * The importance of range finding<br> * The go/no go gauge<br> * Being mentally prepared vs. physically prepared<br> * Most common mistakes<br> * Being a true outdoorsman<br> * Dream hunts<br> * Traveling<br> * Skills learned abroad<br> * The one species that teaches us the most<br> * Mule deer populations, meat value, and how conservation works<br> * Hot rods and the bigger picture<br> <br> Links:<br> <a href="https://jimburnworth.com/">JimBurnworth.com</a><br> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jimburnworth">Jim’s Facebook</a><br>
