    He Drew a Desert Sheep Tag... Now Where The Hell is The Dirty Devil?

    Jeremiah Plyer had been building points for years, originally thinking moose was the once-in-a-lifetime hunt he wanted. Eventually, he shifted his attention to desert bighorn sheep because the draw landscape looked different, even though he admits he knew very little about sheep hunting at the time. Then one spring, instead of just buying another point, he put in for an archery sheep tag in the Dirty Devil. He drew it. There was only one problem: he had no idea where the unit even was. In this Hunt Stealth mini episode, Jeremiah tells the story of going from surprise draw to scouting some of the most intimidating country he had ever seen. He talks about the steep canyon terrain, trying to figure out how to bowhunt sheep with almost no cover, why his original goal was simply to get four legitimate stalks, and what he learned about late-season desert sheep behavior. He also shares what it was like hunting with Brad Hunt behind the camera and how much work goes into capturing a high-level hunting film in difficult country. It’s a great reminder that sometimes the hunt starts long before you feel ready for it.

    #092 - Tanner Davis + Seth Anderson | You Don't Need Better Hunting Gear. You Need More Reps.

    In Episode #092 of the Hunt Stealth Podcast, Ryan sits down with Tanner Davis and Seth Anderson to talk hunting technology, archery innovation, learning through failure, and what actually helps someone become a better hunter. Tanner is the co-founder of Kiba Outdoors, an off-grid mapping and communication system designed to help hunting partners stay connected when cell service disappears. He explains how Kiba pairs a smartphone app with mesh radios so hunters can message each other, share locations, track where members of the group have traveled, and communicate in the field without relying on a satellite network. Seth also shares the story behind Stratus Archery and the bow sight technology he developed after becoming frustrated with traditional movable sights. His system is designed to maintain a consistent 10-yard gap between two pins as the sight is adjusted for different distances. But the conversation goes well beyond products and gear. Tanner and Seth talk about growing up hunting, learning through failure, the experiences that hooked them, dream hunts, and why newer hunters don't need to spend thousands of dollars before getting into the field. Seth makes an especially important point for newer bowhunters: eventually you have to stop watching animals through binoculars and start putting stalks on them. Make mistakes. Get reps. Learn what works. They also get into overrated and underrated hunting equipment, expensive rifles and optics, good boots, rain protection, stabilized binoculars, elk vs. mule deer, and why hunting keeps pulling us back even when things don't go according to plan.

    #091 - Curtis Bryner | Stop Moving. Start Seeing.

    Sometimes becoming a better hunter means doing less. On Episode 091 of the Hunt Stealth Podcast, I sit down with Curtis Bryner to talk about the lessons he's picked up through years of hunting across the West and beyond—and the biggest one might be the simplest: patience. Curtis grew up hunting the Wasatch Front here in Utah and has spent years working in the hunting industry. But some of the lessons that stuck with him most came long before that. He shares a story from hunting elk with his grandfather as a kid, when his grandpa had an opportunity at a spike and chose not to shoot. His reason was simple: they weren't out there just to kill something. He was there to spend time with Curtis and teach him. We also get into one of Curtis's favorite adventures—a 14-day Alaska moose hunt with his brother. After days of rain, glassing and seeing almost nothing, they finally decided what they were doing wasn't working. They picked a direction, started moving and soon spotted the bull that would turn the entire hunt around. Curtis also talks about hunting bears in Idaho, chasing mule deer, preparing for western hunts and why newer hunters often underestimate both the physical demands of the mountains and the amount of preseason work required. But the conversation keeps coming back to patience. Curtis remembers being the hunter who heard a bugle and immediately took off after it, or glassed for 20 minutes and decided there couldn't be any deer there. Experience taught him differently. Sometimes the buck appears in a place you've already looked a hundred times—you just had to stay long enough to see him. That's a lesson I'm still learning myself. In this episode we talk about slowing down, knowing when to make a move, getting physically prepared, scouting before the season and giving yourself enough opportunities for things to finally come together. If you're a newer hunter—or you've been hunting for years and still find yourself forcing things when nothing seems to be happening—there's a lot in this conversation worth taking with you into the mountains.

    #090 - Kellen Hansen | The Weight We Carry: Hunting, Health and the Battles Men Don't Talk About

    In this episode of the Hunt Stealth Podcast, Ryan sits down with Kellen Hansen for a conversation that starts with fly fishing, hunting, food, and the outdoors... but eventually goes somewhere much deeper. Kellen shares how growing up in southeastern Idaho and losing his dad at a young age shaped his connection to the outdoors. He tells the story of catching his first cutthroat trout on a grasshopper fly he tied himself, the moment that sparked a lifelong obsession with fly fishing, and some unforgettable adventures chasing fish from Mexico to Canada. The conversation also dives into hunting, processing and cooking wild game, building community in the outdoors, entrepreneurship, and why sharing knowledge instead of guarding it can make the hunting and fishing world better. But the episode takes a personal turn when Kellen opens up about his health journey. After reaching a point where his weight was keeping him from hunting and doing the things he loved, he decided something had to change. He has since lost nearly 90 pounds and is working toward becoming healthier, stronger, and capable of spending more years doing the things that matter to him. Kellen also speaks candidly about his complicated relationship with food, including cycles of binge eating and purging and the shame and isolation that came with it. It's a vulnerable conversation about something he believes more men struggle with than we realize, and about replacing negative self-talk with progress, community, discipline, and hope. From fly rods and elk tags to weight loss, mental battles, friendship, and finding your way back to the life you want to live, this episode is ultimately about realizing that it's never too late to change direction.

    #089 - James Nash | Stop Chasing, Hunt Like a Predator

    n this episode of the Hunt Stealth Podcast, Ryan sits down with James Nash of Six Ranch Outfitters, a lifelong hunter, rancher, Marine Corps veteran, and guide with more than two decades of experience in the field. James brings a completely different perspective to becoming a more effective hunter—one built around patience, observation, understanding animal behavior, and learning to think like a predator rather than simply covering more ground. The conversation dives deep into why hunters may actually hurt their chances by constantly moving, how becoming a “student of the place” can reveal more than miles of hiking, and why success often comes from focusing on the process instead of the outcome. James breaks down lessons from cougars and other ambush predators, discusses realistic bowhunting distances, challenges common ideas around camouflage and scent control, and explains why understanding the wind may be one of the most important skills a hunter can develop. Ryan also opens up about his own six-year journey as an adult-onset bowhunter, the mistakes he’s made, missed opportunities, impatience, and what he’s learning as he continues chasing his first successful archery harvest. James reframes those failures as necessary lessons and offers practical advice for building experience, controlling buck fever, getting closer to animals, and becoming more lethal without losing sight of why we hunt in the first place. This episode is packed with practical hunting knowledge, unconventional perspectives, and lessons that go far beyond gear and tactics. James’ final piece of advice says it all: Don’t forget to have fun.

    #088 - Josh Terry | Be The Pioneer

    On this episode of the Hunt Stealth Podcast, Ryan sits down with Josh Terry, owner of Juniper Meat Company, for a conversation that goes far beyond wild game processing. Josh shares his unlikely journey from military and law enforcement intelligence to building a business centered entirely around wild game, including the failures, hard lessons, and moments of doubt that came with taking the leap. But at the heart of the conversation is something bigger: why hunting matters and what it can build in us. Josh talks about growing up hunting with his dad, the Arizona elk hunt at 12 years old that changed the course of his life, and the small sacrifices his father made to give him those experiences. That leads to one of the biggest messages of the episode: be the pioneer. Be the person willing to learn, struggle, make mistakes, and then pass what you've learned on to your kids, family, friends, and the next generation of hunters. Ryan and Josh also get into the realities of becoming a hunter—the steep learning curve, failure, mental toughness, earning the trust of other hunters, and why simply spending time in the mountains can teach lessons that reach far beyond hunting. There is plenty of practical knowledge as well, including Josh's three rules for protecting wild game meat—keep it cool, clean, and dry—along with field-care mistakes that can cost hunters an animal they've worked incredibly hard for. Because sometimes the most important thing we bring home from the mountains isn't an animal. It's who we are when we come back.

    #087 - Devan Moody + Garrett King | Lost in the Dark

    On this episode of the Hunt Stealth Podcast, Ryan sits down with Wyoming hunters and cousins Garrett King and Devan Moody to talk about growing up outdoors, becoming everyday working-class hunters, and why the experience matters just as much as punching a tag. Garrett and Devan share the story of a Wyoming mule deer hunt that started with a late-night drive, a few too many alarms getting snoozed and an afternoon spent glassing nearly empty country. Just before dark, they finally spotted a mature four-point buck. What followed was a long-range shooting opportunity, a steep slide down the mountain, a late-night packout and a dead phone that left them navigating back to camp in the dark. Garrett also recounts an unforgettable black bear hunt where an initial shot left a bear wounded. After a sleepless night and hours of searching the next day, Garrett and his friend pushed farther up the mountain and unexpectedly found the bear only eight yards away. Throughout the conversation, the guys discuss family, friendship, perseverance, respecting the animals they pursue and the “mountain medicine” that comes from disconnecting from everyday life and spending time in wild country. This episode is a reminder that hunting rarely goes according to plan—but the mistakes, challenges and stories created along the way are what keep us coming back.
