The Typical Sportsman

Ep. 57: The Okayest Rant

Dylan is joined by Eric Clark, The Okayest Hunter, and the two go on some rants about how we treat people on social media, the dangers of jumping to conclusions, and the impact we have on the future and culture of hunting. 

Ep. 56: Recaps, Stories, and Getting Started

Dylan is joined by The Tree Cru TV guys, Shea, Jake, and Nick, to talk about their start, how Tree Cru came to be, and the constant grind they’re on to getting it rolling. 
They also give recaps of their VERY exciting seasons, share some stories, and talk about dream hunts they hope to go on one day! 

Ep. 55: Stories, Camo, and Gen Z

Dylan is joined by Ronnie “Cuz” Strickland from Mossy Oak to share stories and talk about camo. Camo has changed over the years even though the purpose it serves is the same (and is still vitally important). They also have an important talk about Generation Z and the hope they bring to the future of hunting and our country! 

Ep. 54: Cheating Death

Dylan is joined by Kurt Belding of Western Obsession TV to relive a hunt he’ll never forget!
 
The hunt of a lifetime - Alaska Intercoastal Grizzly - that turned into a WILD RIDE with charging grizzlies, grizzlies coming into camp at night, and Kurt cheating death to punch his tag and live to tell the tale!
 

Ep. 53: The Outdoorsman's Perspective

Dylan is joined by Devin Apple, founder of Hunt BNB. The two talk about the awesome new website helping hunters find good lodging for their next hunt.
But the heart of the episode is getting down to the perspective of an outdoorsman: remembering why we do what we do and not getting caught up in a short sided self-comparison of ourselves to other hunters.
If you’re already thinking about what kind of photos to take and how many likes they might get on social media, you’ve got it all wrong. So, why do we do what we do and how do we get back to the heart of what it’s all about?

Ep. 52: Jaelen Johnston - Kansas' Own Son

Dylan is joined by Jaelen Johnston, runner-up on the most recent season of The Voice, along with Wade Skeen, owner of Skeen Outfitters. 
The three are all passionate Kansas outdoorsmen, who love Kansas and the incredible hunting opportunities that it has to offer. The three talk through their favorite things to hunt, and all of the great things Kansas has to offer for hunters. 
In many places, it’s the middle of the rut and the temps are in the 80’s with terrible wind directions, and Dylan has been struggling in the woods. Wade shares some tips and tricks for what he’s found to work when the weather isn’t in your favor! 

Ep. 51: The New Prime Divide

Dylan is joined by Brian Anderson from Prime, along with PJ Reilly from Lancaster Archery.
Brian gives the details on the NEW Prime Divide and their new ability to let the customer build the EXACT bow they want, with the specs they want! 
PJ gives his reviews of the bows, and then goes into details on the benefits and setbacks of different axle to axle lengths and different brace heights, what ATA and BH does for the overall shooting experience, and gives some advice to help YOU choose the best option for YOU! 

Ep. 50: The 40 Year Anniversary Buck

Dylan is joined by Darrell Gogert to relive the story of his most recent mule deer hunt. Darrell shot this incredible buck 40 years, to the day, after the first buck he ever killed. 
Then on the pack out it dawned on him: this would be the last time he would ever have the ability to hunt those Nevada mountains that have made him who he is. 
Go back and hunt those special places with the people that mean the most to you, because soon those opportunities will be gone and you’ll wish you had. 

Ep. 49: The Psychological Evolution

Dylan is joined by Chris Parish and Justin Spring to talk about evolutionary psychology and how it influences predictable yet thoughtless behavior in hunters. The whole “think before you react” to a natural stimulus thing. It’s what should differentiate between the animal and human world, yet we are all products of biological forces.
As hunters, we have the opportunity to think about our gut reactions. Use the information we have and make decisions that promote the future of hunting and better stewardship of wildlife and wild places.

Ep. 48: The Super Slam 3x

Dylan is joined by Frank Noska, one of the most accomplished bowhunters in the WORLD! 
Frank is just a couple animals away from completing the North American Super Slam…for the THIRD TIME; all with a bow! 
Dylan and Frank talk about his journey into becoming a bowhunter, his bowhunting accomplishments, and developing killer instincts. Frank also shares some of his most INSANE encounters, like being attacked by a grizzly bear!
