Hey, I'm Janice Patelis.

And I'm Jordan Bud.

Jordan and I have spent our lives in the outdoors, both as hunters and professional guys.

And on Meet Eaters newest podcast, Gear Talk, we're taking the ultimate deep dive into the tools and gear we rely on in the field,

seeing the natural season.

We're talking classic, don't leave home without it,

staples, to the cutting edge and outdoor equipment.

Listen to Gear Talk on the iHeart Radio app on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast.

Welcome back to another episode of Cutting the Distance.

Today's guest may be best known for being the first to take all 29 North American big game

animals with the recurve bow and complete the super slam.

Fred Eichler.

He's been fortunate enough to share his loving enthusiasm of the sport with fellow bow hunters across the country through his television shows and personal appearances.

Today we hope to tap into his knowledge on predator calling, but more specifically targeting bears.

Welcome to the show Fred.

Hey, thanks so much.

Thanks for tuning in.

How's everything going?

Absolutely great, man. It's a beautiful day here in Colorado and having a blast just got done do some predator calling the other day down in Texas and Florida.

So still rolling here, buddy.

I don't know how to slow down.

Good deal. Good deal.
