    103 Red October with Adam Hays III

    Tom has an early morning conversation over a hot cup of coffee with whitetail legend Adam Hays III. This is the start of many conversations coming up with Adam as he and Tom have so much in common and so much to talk about. This one, will kick off with an introduction of Adam if you don't already know him as he and Tom talk about the early days and what got Adam into the hunting industry to start. And here's a little spoiler alert, how do you think he got started? Yep, filming hunts. Something you've heard Tom talk about so much on this podcast. Being an outdoor producer has opened doors for so many over the years including some of the industry's most famous faces. Although short and sweet, this chat with Adam will leave you wanting more as he just begins to talk about how he's harvested 4 bucks over 200 inches, is the owner of the popular "Moon Guide" and has recently released his first ever book called Red October. If you like hunting whitetails and filming hunts, you dont want to miss this one.  To learn more about our on-site program, visit our website at https://filmthehunt.com/onsite-courses/ For more information or to sign up for the ALL NEW ONLINE CLASS, click here https://www.skool.com/film-the-hunt-2515/about FILM THE HUNT FB PAGE: https://www.facebook.com/filmthehunteducation/ FILM THE HUNT INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/film_the_hunt/  To learn more about our on-site program, visit our website at https://filmthehunt.com/onsite-courses/ For more information or to sign up for the ALL NEW ONLINE CLASS, click here https://www.skool.com/film-the-hunt-2515/about FILM THE HUNT FB PAGE: https://www.facebook.com/filmthehunteducation/FILM THE HUNT INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/film_the_hunt/

    102 The Amish Magician

    You're already intrigued, I know it LOL. And you will be even more when you listen to this one. Tom has a great conversation with a new friend and they introduce a new product to the hunting market. Bryan Yoder, a hunter, young entrepreneur, and an all around great guy has come up with a product to help your trail cameras disappear. And in turn, capturing more mature bucks and helping to reduce theft. An amazing product for sure but this one hits home for Tom for more than one reason. Often on this podcast, you hear him talk so much about "what it takes" to make a living as a producer in the industry. And during this convo, you hear Bryan's story and realize it's much of the same qualities that create success just about anywhere. Have you ever heard the saying about "luck" being when preparation meets opportunity? Things don't just come to you. You need grit, determination, passion, a business sense, personality, a good product and most importantly the will to get up, dust yourself off and continue on once you've been knocked down. And Tom thinks Bryan has it all. If you are looking to be inspired to make a decision on something you keep putting off, or simply want to start your own business. Listen to this one for the spark you need to stop making excuses and just do it.   To learn more about our on-site program, visit our website at https://filmthehunt.com/onsite-courses/ For more information or to sign up for the ALL NEW ONLINE CLASS, click here https://www.skool.com/film-the-hunt-2515/about FILM THE HUNT FB PAGE: https://www.facebook.com/filmthehunteducation/ FILM THE HUNT INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/film_the_hunt/  To learn more about our on-site program, visit our website at https://filmthehunt.com/onsite-courses/ For more information or to sign up for the ALL NEW ONLINE CLASS, click here https://www.skool.com/film-the-hunt-2515/about FILM THE HUNT FB PAGE: https://www.facebook.com/filmthehunteducation/ FILM THE HUNT INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/film_the_hunt/

    101 The Big 6 on Public

    Tom and Jorden finally get a chance to sit down and tell the story of how the 2025 Colorado Elk season ended for them. We left you hanging before, but now Jorden dives deep into how it all came together for him on a solo mission at the buzzer. And Tom goes into how having the kill shot on film can in some cases be very insignificant to the story and the entertainment value of your time spent watching it. Creating entertaining hunting content these days can be tough as there are so many arguable topics to what makes it "good". But listen as these 2 break it down and tell me you don’t want to watch the edit when it comes out even though you already know, you aren't going to see the actual kill shot.    To learn more about our on-site program, visit our website at https://filmthehunt.com/onsite-courses/ For more information or to sign up for the ALL NEW ONLINE CLASS, click here https://www.skool.com/film-the-hunt-2515/about FILM THE HUNT FB PAGE: https://www.facebook.com/filmthehunteducation/ FILM THE HUNT INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/film_the_hunt/  To learn more about our on-site program, visit our website at https://filmthehunt.com/onsite-courses/ For more information or to sign up for the ALL NEW ONLINE CLASS, click here https://www.skool.com/film-the-hunt-2515/about FILM THE HUNT FB PAGE: https://www.facebook.com/filmthehunteducation/ FILM THE HUNT INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/film_the_hunt/

    100 I Believe Most People Are Good

    Our 100th podcast release and it couldn't be a better topic launching at a more opportune time, the holidays. You don't have to film hunts to enjoy this one, in fact you don't even have to be a hunter. Your host, Tom Petry visits with 4 different groups of people to share very special stories from this hunting season. Stories of good people/hunters doing selfless, good things for others without the expectations of a return. Some of these stories and the friendships that came out of them, are almost unbelievable. A chain of events that regardless of your beliefs, happened "for a reason". Memories that will be cherished by all parties involved for a lifetime. Tom hopes that this podcast will be the most shared Film The Hunt Podcast ever in efforts to help promote the fact that despite what we sometimes see on social media, most people are good. We all just need to do a better job of breaking out of our comfort zone at times and make it a point to meet more people and to help spread more kindness and joy. In light of this holiday season, we ask that you please listen, share this with a friend or loved one and most of all we thank you, for being a good person.  It may be long, but it's worth the listen, trust me! Thank You so much to both old friends and new for spending the time talking with me on this one; Blake VanTussenbrook (Badlands Gear), Brian McPeek (Landowner), Jason Matzinger & Tara Banks (Into High Country & Tara Banks Art), Jorden Susewitz (Film The Hunt), Cody Salzman (Elk Hunter), Caleb Pool (Elk Hunter).   To learn more about our on-site program, visit our website at https://filmthehunt.com/onsite-courses/ For more information or to sign up for the ALL NEW ONLINE CLASS, click here https://www.skool.com/film-the-hunt-2515/about FILM THE HUNT FB PAGE: https://www.facebook.com/filmthehunteducation/ FILM THE HUNT INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/film_the_hunt/

    098 Filming Elk "IN YOUR FACE"

    Tom sits at the table in Montana elk camp near a crackling fire in the woodstove and under a propane lantern as they discuss everything elk. From chatting with newby cameraman and Film The Hunt student about his struggles and WOW moments to reliving the moment we will all leave remembering with the entire crew. This conversation with Tom, Jorden Susewitz, Chris Hayes, Mike Hilbert and Brayden Eppinette is such a fun, educational and valuable one that we feel will inspire you to want to get out west yourself and document these incredible animals.
