As hunters, we have a responsibility to new generations of hunters to be good role models. This week, Derek, Greg, and Eric chat with Josh Morrow, AKA the Hunt Critic. What started out as a passionate hunter calling out other hunters on TikTok has become so much more as a way to educate all hunters on various hunting topics ranging from the whitetail community and reverberating all the way to sheep hunting, and even elephant hunting in Africa and even to that pond down the street where geese flock. We talk about things like gatekeeping, ethics, and our responsibility as hunters to do the most good to help ensure our heritage sticks around for generations to come!

After two weeks off, Eric and Greg are back in the studio and joined by guest, Caleb Stillians from Rise Up. Caleb is a guide in Alaska and hunts almost year-round and camps 5 months out of the year in between hunts. He guides several hunts of several big game species throughout the year. Eric met Caleb at the ATA show this past January and had to get Caleb on the show to hear some of his stories. More than that, though, Caleb has a very humble attitude toward the outdoors and his endeavors while also pushing himself to be the best at whatever it is he's doing. We hope you enjoy the episode!

Are you on TikTok? If not, you might be missing out on some really practical and entertaining deer hunting content! Not to mention, a ton of young hunters are on the platform. Chris Whitley with Get Outdoors 2Day thought the TikTok was just a social platform for people to goof off among other things, but it turns out there's an appetite for more hunting content. Rather than watching a 20-minute how-to YouTube video for 2 minutes of what you really needed to learn, Chris has created several dozens of short-form, quick-hit practical tips for hunters on the platform. New hunters are highly engaged in learning more from this new platform.  More than just social media talk, we do dive into talking turkey and as a competitive caller, Chris brought along some turkey calls to demonstrate some of the ways he's successfully called in turkeys!  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wheretohunt/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wheretohunt/support Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on the show, Derek, Greg, and Eric chat with guest, Terron Hunt with EHUNTR about wester hunting, turkey hunting, and it wouldn't be the Okayest Hunter podcast without some shenanigans. Seriously, though a great episode about what to consider for an out-of-state hunt, and we also talk about cooking and eating wild game. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Eric is joined by guest, Ped Dragich this week. Ped has vowed to stop sharing grip and grins altogether as a way to show that his actions speak louder than words in an attempt to prove that hunting means more to him than a grip and grin. Ped hunts for his own personal reasons and loves the process and all that goes into the hunt. The harvest, in his opinion, is only a small part of the whole spectrum of why he hunts. Ped embodies the Okayest Hunter mantra of, "my tag, my hunt" and navigates the topic eloquently this week and asks us all the question, why do you hunt? Learn more about your ad choices.

Greg and Eric drove up to Doug Duren's family farm to have a chat about conservation. Doug talks about the legacy of his family farm, the gentrification of the land in the Wisconsin Driftless area, what his definition of conservation is, how all of that impacts Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), what Doug has been able to do to minimize the risk and spread of CWD and what we all can be doing to support conservation.

This week on the podcast, Jordan Syatt with Syatt Fitness, Gary Vaynerchuk's former fitness coach for three years joins us on the show to share his first ever experience hunting. Jordan shares how he navigated learning about how to hunt for the first time, what his overall experience was, what it meant to him, why he decided to hunt, and also how he navigated sharing his experience with nearly a million non-hunting followers from the fitness and wellness community. As hunters, we sometimes might take for granted that we had someone in our lives teach us all about the outdoors and hunting, moreover, some of us may not have had any negative feedback by living the hunting lifestyle. It's important that we as hunters are welcoming to those that have never experienced a hunt, but also how we portray what we love so much as not everyone fully understands our way of life. This was a really interesting and unique episode to hear Jordan's experience firsthand both from hunters and non-hunters alike. Be sure to check

Eric flew to Kentucky for this one and had a chance to sit down with the Bone Collector himself, Michael Waddell at the Waypoint TV booth. We get to hear what Michaels is up to these days with his new TV show on the Waypoint network, Downton Dixie. From there, we dive pretty deep into what has changed and what has stayed the same within the hunting industry, and what it means to be a hunter within the space. We chat about new hunters entering the space, how Michael grew up hunting and never altered his character as he was filming his shows to stay true to himself and his beliefs as a hunter. There's a bit more, but you'll have to listen to hear it all!
