    Killing a Timber Giant

    In this episode of the Rokcast, Jaden Bales sits down with Aquila Brown, a BC hunter who flat-out earned a monster timber giant mule deer the hard way. This wasn’t some glass-a-basin-and-pick-a-buck hunt. This was thick, steep, nasty timber on an over-the-counter tag, with almost no visibility and plenty of pressure. Aquila spent close to 20 days scouting and hunting one specific buck and made the decision early that he was either killing that deer or eating the tag. We dig into how he hunted mule deer where glassing barely works. Trail cameras became his eyes in the woods, snow tracks kept him in the game, and still-hunting was the only real way to make something happen. Aquila breaks down how slow is actually “slow enough,” how he handled missing the buck by hours or a couple hundred yards, and why believing the deer was still there mattered more than anything. If you hunt dark timber, pressured OTC units, or country that just feels hopeless most days, this episode will hit home. It all comes together on the very last day of the season with a fast, offhand shot through a tiny opening in the trees. We talk about passing good bucks late in the season, trusting the process, and what it feels like when everything finally clicks after weeks of grinding. This is a real look at killing a giant mule deer on purpose, not by luck, and why sometimes the hardest hunts are the ones that stay with you forever.

    The Art of Shed Hunting

    Art “the Shedaholic” Hayes joins Jaden & Robby today for a deep, story-driven dive into shed hunting that goes way beyond picking up bone. Art shares the unforgettable moment that started it all, finding a massive whitetail deadhead as a 12-year-old in Montana, and how that single day launched a lifetime obsession. From the wild early days when antlers piled up untouched on public land, to today’s reality of pressure, boot tracks, and competition, Art walks listeners through how shed hunting has changed over the last four decades. Along the way, he tells incredible stories of giant mule deer and whitetails, tracking individual bucks through years of shed finds, and what those antlers taught him about home ranges, migration, genetics, and age. The conversation digs into high-level shed hunting strategy and ethics: glassing before walking, grid patterns, working areas “backwards,” human funnels, and why low-impact shed hunting matters more now than ever. He also breaks down locating new shed areas, why big deer concentrate in surprisingly small pockets, and why chasing sheds for money doesn’t pencil out. [ Rokcast is powered by onX Hunt.

    Spring Black Bears with Joe Kondelis

    Spring black bear hunting is one of the most misunderstood and hardest hunts in the West. In this episode of the Rokcast, Jaden sits down with Joe Kondelis, founder of the American Bear Foundation, to break down what it actually takes to find and hunt black bears in the spring. From early failures and lost bears to dialing in habitat, green-up, and timing, Joe shares the hard lessons that turned frustration into long-term success in the bear woods. They dig into what makes good black bear country and how spot-and-stalk and still-hunting strategies change as spring progresses. The conversation also dives deep into black bear conservation and why hunter advocacy matters now more than ever. Joe explains Wyoming’s bear quota system, groundbreaking research on bear movement and harvest vulnerability, and why mature boars are harder to kill than most hunters realize. They wrap up by talking utilizing bear meat, bear fat, and how bear hunters can use a ton of the animal. Plus, they talk about how organizations like the American Bear Foundation help protect future bear hunting opportunities. This is a practical conversation for anyone planning a spring bear hunt this winter, or wanting to better understand bears on the landscape. [ Rokcast is powered by onX Hunt.

    Wyoming Elk with Biologist Lee Knox

    In this episode, Jaden Bales dives into Wyoming’s elk program with one of the most knowledgeable (and hardest-hunting) biologists in the state: Lee Knox of Wyoming Game & Fish. With Wyoming’s elk application deadline coming up fast, we wanted to give listeners a deeper look at how the Cowboy State actually manages its elk herds — from general tags to limited quota seasons to the bull ratios that drive opportunity across the board. If you’ve ever wondered why Wyoming’s elk hunting is so consistently good, this conversation breaks it down. Lee and Jaden talk through Wyoming’s entire elk framework: • What “general” vs. “limited quota” really means in practice • How bull:cow ratios influence special-management units • Why Wyoming posts some of the highest elk success rates in the West • How burns, drought, weather, and access shape elk behavior year-to-year • Why mature bulls can actually be easier to kill in November • What hunters get wrong about elk distribution, pressure, and “trophy” expectations • How to think about realistic goals when burning points or drawing a once-in-a-decade tag • Plus plenty of nerdy habitat, calf-ratio, and season-setting discussion you won’t hear anywhere else They also dig into one of the biggest issues facing elk management moving forward: access — and why social dynamics, not biology, often drive changes to season structure. Lee closes by explaining how hunters can meaningfully influence season setting (hint: social media posts don’t count). Rokcast is powered by onX Hunt.
