In this episode I update the progress of my upcoming book Beyond the Hunt. I give a synopsis of the publishing process, the book itself and just how much work goes into it.
Since I am in the last edits and we are also busy with finishing the house (in addition to our full time jobs), I'm going to be publishing the Top 4 episodes of 2022 to finish off the year.

Harrison Gottschling and I are firm advocates for hunters making hunts happen and outdoor entrepreneurs helping others by providing valuable insight for those looking for new experiences. In this episode, we discuss the potential unintended consequences of such valuable resources being so readily available, not to advocate against them, but as a way of thinking through potential pitfalls in order to avoid them. We talk about hunting mindset, desperation, how a hunt changes as a result of population and pressure, the misconception that services like GoHunt, Rokslide or Huntin' Fool ruin hunting, the stupidity behind the "must be nice" attitude and how if I won the Powerball lottery I'd buy a ranch in Wyoming and only let my friends hunt it...just like those tycoons we resent.

In this solo episode I recap my last hunt of the season and what I believe it was that made the difference. I have been hunting a high-traffic, close to town area and had to figure out a way to put myself in a position to have success since there was sign, rubs and a few bucks every few days on my game cameras. Saturday it came together and I took my second blacktail of the season on the second to the last day I could hunt.
