Summary

How do you really prepare for a hunt? As the saying goes: don’t forget your underwear. In this episode of Gun Talk Hunt, host KJ talks with seasoned hunters Mike McNett (DoubleTap Ammo), Matt Johnson (Gun Talk Media), and John McAdams (Big Game Hunting Podcast) about their pre-hunt strategies. From choosing the right rifle/ammo combo and simulating field positions, to packing smart and handling international travel—this is your full checklist for making the most of your season.

Expect stories from Utah to Minnesota, tips for prepping young hunters, field drills to sharpen instincts, and lessons learned the hard way (like missing gear or ammo rules at the border).

This Gun Talk Hunt is brought to you by Range Ready Studios, Remington Ammunition, Vortex Optics, and Hodgdon Powder.
