Summary

Some hunters spend summer months yearning for the crisp crunch of fall leaves and a brisk northerly breeze. Rather than counting down the days to hunting season, why not get started in August? In this month’s rendition of Hunt Year 'Round, we’re joined by Jesse Knock to get the scoop on hunting Sitka blacktail deer in Alaska’s Alpine. Chasing blacktails in arguably the most unforgiving terrain on the planet will test you mentally and physically, and will certainly reward you with an incredible experience regardless if you fill your tag. Better yet – it’s an over-the-counter tag available to anyone! Tune in to get the full scoop, and as always, let us know what you think! If you have an awesome hunting opportunity near you or idea for Hunt Year 'Round, let us know - we'd love to hear it! As always - let us know if there are any topics you'd like covered on the Vortex Nation podcast by asking us on any one of our social media platforms and using #VortexNationPodcast.

0:17.0	Jim has passed the intro baton off to me today so just going to go for it.
0:25.9	So this episode is a continuation of our Hunt Year Round series which is if you haven't listened to one before it's a it's a series where we kind of outline or visit with somebody about a hunt that takes place in a particular month.
0:42.0	The month we're in right now is August. We're actually on the
0:46.3	cusp of September, but we're squeaking this one in August is a time where a lot of guys maybe just starting to think about fall or upcoming fall hunts, you know, the November white tail rut, but there's actually a lot of big game hunts a person can engage in in this month.

1:34.8	Jesse produced some sweet content, takes really rad images, some of which we've used in our

1:44.0	produce some really cool films, one of which called Sidka Bliss,
1:48.0	which I would recommend anybody check out
1:50.4	because it is one of the coolest, probably the coolest Sick to Blacktail video I've ever seen and you get to really witness, you know, I guess what the hunt entails, what it has to offer, the country, how rugged it is, but in some ways Jesse, you guys
2:08.0	made it look easy because that video doesn't really do that hunt justice from justice from the difficulty level.
2:14.9	But anyway man, well yeah, let's have me quit talking here and yeah, tell us a little bit
2:19.6	about yourself.
2:21.3	Can we also just point out the fact that Jesse is podcasting from are you in a boat
