about DIH
From the peaceful silence and heart-racing experiences, to the tears and laughter shared with loved ones, hunting is so much more than taking a life.
hunting is more
since the beginning, I knew...
Hunting was never about killing for me. It was always about living, testing my limits, and seeing what I was capable of.
more than a kill
Dialed in Hunter started as a blog for me to keep an online journal of myself learning to hunt. From failures to successes and everything in between. I wanted to be transparent in my journey with the hopes of inspiring others out there to chase their goals, no matter how inexperienced they were. Hunting was my vessel for communicating that.
Nowadays, Dialed in Hunter has evolved so much more past the point of a blog. It's led me to write 2 books, articles for countless publications, land cover photos of magazines, and, my favorite, creating hunting documentaries. It serves as a trusted resource for newer hunters, especially to start off on the right foot. Dialed in Hunter, and hunting in general, has changed my life. And I am forever in debt for what it's given me. My goal is to share, educate, inspire, and tell the story of hunting through my eyes.
The DIh Story
Hi, my name is Josh Kirchner. I'm a husband, father, and dedicated hunter. My biggest passions within hunting are bowhunting and backpack hunting. If I had to pick a favorite species to hunt, it would have to be the black bear. Outside of hunting, I love camping, reptile keeping, trail running, good coffee, and going on family vacations with my wife and daughter. We've got two dogs, a cat, and more reptiles than I can count on this here website. Life is bad ass and I'm here for it.
