Summary

We often have the best hunters in the world on this podcast which tends to be over some peoples heads. Today is a little bit different podcast and a very inspiring one. Travis Caldwell did not grow up as a hunter and really never intended to be a hunter. Travis Caldwell @travcaldwell started this journey with the purchase of a bird dog. It probably didn’t help that the universe put him living right next door to one of the best hunters I know Ben Guttormson @benguttormson. In debut in-studio podcast Ben, Travis, and I discuss the journey that Travis has gone down and how he, as someone with zero hunting connections, views what we do as hardcore hunters. I truly enjoy having conversations with intelligent people who have such a different perspective than my own.

This episode is brought to you by Phelps Game Calls. I have run Phelps elk calls for years and I can’t say enough about them. Phelps calls are in my opinion the most high quality easy to use calls out there. Whether you are a complete rookie or a seasoned pro these calls will work great. Not only do I constantly recommend the Phelps amp frame to people who have struggled using diaphragm style calls but I can run the same calls and get great life out of them throughout an entire season.
