Do Not Go Quietly w/ Eric Wilson

Kyle Thompson: Unapologetically Undaunted

If you are a Christ follower but tired of the milquetoast journey that many churches today are offering, this one is for you.  Kyle Thompson is willing to let that arrow fly straight and true.  
During our conversation Kyle and I discussed many issues that most pastors won’t go near; such as the lack of true masculinity in the Church, supposed “toxic” masculinity in culture, how to defeat pro-abortion arguments, wokeness and cancel culture, more.
If you are a father or mother, this episode is especially poignant as we also talked about how to prepare your children for secular messaging and raise them in a way that equips them to walk forward in their faith. We also discussed education and the options you are parents should be considering to help your children avoid the daily indoctrination of our public school systems.
Kyle Thompson, Oklahoma native, founded Undaunted.Life in 2017. The mission of Undaunted.Life is equipping men to push back darkness. They do this by providing content that leads men to forge spiritual, mental, and physical resilience. 
Kyle is also the host of Undaunted.Life: A Man's Podcast, which has reached the top 10 and top 15 on the Apple Podcasts and Spotify charts respectively.

Shawn Melland is Chasing Giants

Shawn Melland grabbed the cover of Eastmans’ Bowhunting Journal this past issue and when I heard he was going to be in town for Summer Strong 17 over at Sorinex HQ this week, I  convinced him to jump across the lake and join me in the studio.
I am often intrigued about the drive that causes folks from small places to make big footprints in the world.  Shawn is a man leaving big footprints.
From a small town in western North Dakota, where there were more cattle than people, Shawn Melland has become one of the most formidable elk hunters in Montana and on the western landscape.  
Shawn has arrowed 7 bulls in 8 seasons with an average gross score of just over  375”.   We know score isn’t the whole game, but even if you aren’t a “score” guy, you have to be impressed with what Shawn has accomplished in a relatively short amount of time as a bowhunter focused on chasing giant elk.  
We also have a bonus guest on this episode as . Shawn’s partner in crime, Colton Dombrowki, joined him on the trip so we threw him into the fray as well.  The self-titled Bugle Boys were great guests and we had a ripping good time talking elk strategy as well as telling some  great stories. 
Through passion drive, and discipline Shawn has become one of the most accomplished archery elk hunters over the last decade. 
Shawn is an entrepreneur, father, husband, athlete, & bow hunter.  Enjoy the episode

At the close of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, the early pioneers of today’s sportsmen’s conservation community faced a unique set of challenges. As a result of market hunting, purposeful extirpation, and general exploitation of natural resources, many game species were at historically low population levels throughout much of their historical range. The early champions of today’s conservation ethic, such as President Theodore Roosevelt, George Bird Grinnell, and Gifford Pichot, faced this challenge head on. Through their efforts and those of others, was born the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation which set in place the tenets that define our approach to wildlife conservation to this day. During this period state fish and wildlife agencies were formed, and game laws were implemented to regulate harvest. Additionally, we saw the birth of the “user-pays, public benefit” American System of Conservation Funding through which sportsmen and women provide long-term and sustainable funding for the agencies tasked with managing the vast majority of our nation’s game species. Complementary efforts effectively shut down market hunting, established what is today the Fish and Wildlife Service, and set aside public lands to be conserved.
As a result of the laudable work of these early conservationists, sportsmen and women in the later 20th century were able to experience the “golden age” of hunting. Popular game species returned to at or near historic highs, hunting was a vibrant part of our culture throughout much of the nation, and state fish and wildlife agencies were well funded, held in high regard, and effectively carried out their missions of scientific management of game species.

The Code of The West: Chris Hunt Tells the Story

Chris Hunt is telling a story ..... and people are listening. His Instagram account The Code of the West has rocketed from 5K followers in February to almost 88K at the time of this posting.
Our conversation started as the genesis of COTW but it didn't take long for two guys who love literature and thinkers to start nerding out on Carl Jung. We talked about some of his painful personal history and explored how freeing himself from the restrictions of analysis has allowed him to regain the artistry of storytelling. In a way, while creating a new journey for all of the COTW followers, Chris has created a new journey for himself at the same time.
This is a real one - Eric
Chris is a former comic book writer and artist turned creative director. An adopted son of The West since childhood, Hunt founded Code Of The West in an effort to marry his two backgrounds in an attempt to reignite the shared story we use to all have as Americans, while also inspiring ourselves to be better tomorrow.

The Pirate of the West: Cliff Gray

2 minutes and you will know why I call Cliff the Pirate.  He's a laid back dude who jumps between spear fishing in Puerto Rico & big game hunting the west.
We had a great conversation discussing his episode on Joe Rogan, his rise to You Tube sex symbol, and his transition from being a guide business owner to his new venture in 1 on 1 hunting camps for hunters trying to shorten the learning curve out west.
After a short stint as a financial trader, Cliff left the corporate world to found and operate some of the largest and most remote wilderness outfitting businesses in North America.
Cliff is an avid outdoorsman, pilot and certified wilderness first responder. He has personally guided dozens of big game hunts, while his previous businesses have operated more than a thousand wilderness expeditions. 
Before pissing them away to become a hunting guide, Cliff earned degrees from Stanford University and University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business.
Cliff sold all of his operating outfitting businesses in 2021 to become a YouTuber and make his parents proud.

The Bugler - Dirk Durham

A native of Idaho, he has spent his life perfecting his craft and chasing screaming bulls with great success. Dirk is also the marketing manager for Phelps Game Calls, co-host of the Cutting the Distance Podcast, and creates all of the amazing films you see on his own You Tube Channel. His latest, Ghost Bulls of the North, is a great watch.
While we do talk bugling in this episode, the initial part of our conversation focused around the evolution of wolves in Idaho, how they were introduced, how they have evolved, and the impact they have had on the Idaho elk population and hunting.
In addition, we discussed the Idaho draw process, how to hunt really nasty terrain, and ways to navigate the increased pressure caused by new hunters. Part of our conversation focused around the sense of solitude we enjoy as hunters that is more and more being threatened by the rise in popularity of western hunting as well as the changes of etiquette among hunters on the mountain.
And of course we talked about bugling, the development of the Phelps Maverick call, and other good elk calling stuff.
This was my first time having Dirk on the podcast and I hope to have him back in the future. He is one of those guys who, after just speaking for a few minutes, I recognized as a truly genuine person and someone I hope to spend more time with in the future.
Thank you Dirk for joining me. It was a privilege. I hope ya'll enjoy this conversation.
