    What POACHING in AFRICA Actually Looks Like - Craig Doria

    Craig Doria spent 30 years in Africa as a professional hunter in addition to running two anti-poaching operations in Zambia and Tanzania. He's also just written Bateleur, a suspense thriller built on all of it.   We cover what poaching actually looks like from the inside: the subsistence guy with a muzzleloader trying to feed his kids, the 150-snare line bisecting the wildebeest migration corridor, the zebra hide operation running skins through a cattle tannery and across borders, and the ivory networks. From there we get into buffalo hunting (Craig's pick for the best hunting still available — hundreds of hunts, multiple close calls), elephant hunting and the weight it carries, two helicopter crashes during anti-poaching operations, and a closing conversation about what happiness really looks like when you've spent your life tracking wounded buffalo through thick bush — and what you give up to get it. Craig Doria — Professional hunter (Zambia, Tanzania, Zimbabwe), anti-poaching operator, Author of Bateleur (Whistling Thorn Press).

    3,120 Wolves Later – The TRUTH About Wolf Control

    Most hunters think wolves can be managed like any other predator. The data says otherwise. In this episode, I sit down with Justin Webb, founder of the Foundation for Wildlife Management (F4WM), to dig into the unfiltered reality of wolf control in the West... what works, what doesn't, and why the "predator-prey balance" we all learned as kids isn't how this actually plays out on the landscape. In this episode: Why hunter success rate on wolves is under 0.25% — and what that means for "managing" themThe story of a pack that dug every trap out of the ground after smelling wax sand on a caught wolfHow F4WM removes wolves at $1,100 vs. $9,000 per wolf for state Wildlife ServicesSuitable habitat, livestock depredation, and why Colorado's wolf situation was predicted years agoHow sportsmen can actually plug into wolf management instead of just complaining about itMentioned: F4WM Membership & Banquets — https://f4wm.org Wolfer Summit (Aug 6–9, Coeur d'Alene, ID) — https://f4wm.org/events/annual-wolfer-summit/ Justin's Wolf Trapping Master Class — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGCLbkDpqis F4WM Instagram https://www.instagram.com/f4wm_wolf_management/ --- FOLLOW CLIFF YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/CliffGray Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/Cliffgry/ Facebook - https://facebook.com/PursuitWithCliff Pursuit With Cliff Podcast https://pursuitwithcliff.com/interviews-and-podcasts/ Cliff's Hunt Planning and Strategy Membership  https://pursuitwithcliff.com/membership/ Hunt.

    Tahr or Elk? - Hunting NZ vs. Hunting The West

    In this episode, Jurgen Schwanecke and Cliff break down how hunting in New Zealand actually works, from public land access to species like tahr and chamois, and what makes it so different from hunting in the U.S. We also get into the realities—terrain, weather, physical demands, and why success isn’t guaranteed just because opportunity exists.

    Designs For REAL HUNTING - Reticles and Cold Weather Gear - THLR Thomas

    Most reticles are built for perfect conditions… but hunting rarely gives you that. In this episode, I sit down with Thomas to break down what actually matters when it’s time to shoot. We get into reticle design, wind brackets, and why simplicity often beats complexity when things happen fast. We talk about real-world scenarios—multiple animals, movement, communication breakdowns, and the kind of pressure that forces you to make decisions in seconds. That’s where most systems fall apart. We also get into shooting moving animals, and even cold weather hunting—where your gear, your body, and your decision-making all get tested.

    The Magic of Cape Buffalo Hunting - Cliff, Tim Sundles, and Chris Jonker Get Into It

    Cape Buffalo hunting is nothing like elk or deer hunting—In this episode, we break down a real hunt where we tracked multiple Cape Buffalo through thick bush, lost them, picked them back up, and ended up surrounded.  We also cover gear setups, shot placement, what happens when a buffalo decides to charge, and the reality of planning an African hunt—from rifles to cost to what to expect. If you’ve ever thought about hunting Africa, this is the unfiltered version of what it’s actually like. --- FOLLOW CLIFF YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/CliffGray Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/Cliffgry/ Facebook - https://facebook.com/PursuitWithCliff Pursuit With Cliff Podcast https://pursuitwithcliff.com/interviews-and-podcasts/ Cliff's Hunt Planning and Strategy Membership  https://pursuitwithcliff.com/membership/ Hunt.

    Hunting Colorado in 2026 - Draw Details and Current Winter Conditions

    Colorado’s draw system is changing, point creep is accelerating, and hunters need to rethink their strategy for elk, sheep, goat, and moose in the coming years. In this episode, Cliff sits down with Jimmy Oswald to break down the current outlook for Colorado hunting ahead of the upcoming draw. They start by discussing Colorado’s unusually dry winter and what historically low snowpack could mean for wildlife, habitat conditions, and the upcoming hunting season. While winter conditions matter, they explain why summer moisture and fire season will ultimately have a bigger impact on elk behavior and hunting success. The conversation then shifts to major changes coming to Colorado’s draw system. Beginning in 2028, half of the available tags will move from a pure preference point system to a weighted lottery. Jimmy explains why this change is already affecting hunter behavior and why point creep could spike in the next few draws as high-point holders rush to use their points. Toward the end of the episode, Jimmy shares insights on sheep, goat, and moose draw strategy, including which units he currently likes and how herd dynamics and tag allocations affect trophy potential.
