    This week I sat down with my good friend Jeff Lander who owns Primitive Outfitting and guides Mule Deer in Alberta and Moose and Bear in BC. Jeff is also the one who is hosting the giveaway hunt for Forged. We had a great chat about all kinds of different hunting and Jeff may have told the best bear story ever told on this podcast!

    EP 169 – Culture, Conservation, and Hunting Rights with Mike Duplan

    EP 169 – Culture, Conservation, and Hunting Rights with Mike Duplan
     
    Mike is known for killing big mule deer but more importantly, Mike also has a very strong voice for conservation and hunting rights. Given the climate we are in right now and all the battles we are facing for our hunting rights across North America I wanted to have Mike on to get his thoughts and advice.

    EP 168 - The Worst Tripod I Have Ever Used!

    Alright folks, it’s rare but it does happen. Every now and then I use a product so bad that I can say with complete confidence you do not need this in your arsenal. This tripod definitely fits into this category. I hope you guys find this useful and I give some other recommendations at the end of the video for products that will perform significantly better for you!

Must have in Library

Mindful Hunter is a must have in your Podcast library 100%. Straight forward well articulated honest reviews, opinions and quality video content.

Excellent podcast

Jay takes a very focused and in-depth approach to reviewing hunting products. He’s completely transparent and unhindered by brand/product loyalty or sponsorship which is rare. This straightforward attitude branches out further than just his review podcasts, as he interviews industry people and also reflects with a great deal of honesty on his own hunts.

Real life

Finally someone who puts together real reviews and not these commercial “reviews”. Just found this podcast a few days ago and glad I did. Keep up the awesome content
