It seems, as of late, the podcasting world, as it pertains to hunting, is getting more and more popular.  To which I say, “AWESOME!”  My only complaint is having too many good podcasts to listen to and not enough time to do so.  Since the last podcast post I made, My Top 5 Hunting Podcasts, quite a few new shows have emerged on the scene and not without force.  I have put together another list of 5 hunting podcasts to check out.  These especially excite me, because they are all mostly geared toward western hunting.

A Hard Truth

In 2013 something happened to me that changed my life.  The kind of thing that no matter how hard you try, you can’t stop thinking about.  I went on my first bear hunt here in Arizona.  Going into the hunt, I read everything that I could about bears in Arizona.  Where they like to reside, what they like to eat, and their overall habits in the rugged environment that AZ has to offer.  No matter how much I read though, I felt ill prepared for the journey ahead.  It’s hard to picture something standing on a hillside when you have never really seen what you are looking for.  By some stroke of luck though, it happened.  I saw a bear on the evening of opening day.  Because, of the bear being obscured by brush and other vegetation though, I wasn’t able to take a shot.  From that point on I was caught hook, line, and sinker.  I hunted bears for the rest of the season and never did get another look at one.  That didn’t matter though.  I would be back next year.
