On this episode of the East Meets West Hunt podcast, I am joined by Bryan Burhans, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Game Commission and co-hosting this podcast with my good friend, Clint Campbell from the Truth from the Stand podcast. We are discussing the highly important topic of Sunday hunting in Pennsylvania along with many other topics related to public lands, conservation and hunting culture.
We have made giant strides in the effort to remove the antiqued ban on Sunday hunting in Pennsylvania with Senate Bill 147 on it’s way to the House Game and Fisheries committee, but we could use everyone’s help! If you follow the link in the show notes to the Backcountry Hunter’s and Anglers page and fill out the quick form (takes 1 minute to complete) to send to your state representative before the meeting on Tuesday, September 10th! Your small amount of time could help improve the future of hunting in Pennsylvania for generations to come.

On this episode of the East Meets West Hunt podcast, I'm joined by avid whitetail bowhunter and Michigan resident, Andy May. Andy reached out to me to help me with my target panic issues this summer and has a great approach to "curing" the problem and how that correlates to capitalizing on encounters and reducing "buck fever". In addition, we talk about DIY whitetail hunting, and how he consistently gets it done on short weekend trips in different states.

On this episode, I'm joined by JP Vicente of Big Chino Outfitters to talk about hunting opportunities in Arizona. I don't know about you, but I've always been told that Arizona was a state that would take forever to draw and kind of looked past it for immediate opportunities. Little did I know that are actually a few different hunts that you can do over-the-counter or with just a few points! The most appealing of these hunts happens to be the OTC mule deer option to hunt the rut with a bow in late December/early January, so we talk in detail about this and how Arizona works.

On this episode, I'm joined by Christian Williams of Archery Strong. I've known Christian for quite awhile now, and he is one of the most determined, hard-working person that I know.

We talk about his love for hunting ground hogs (grizzlies) and how that helps him hone his skills. Lastly, we talk about his business venture with Archery Strong, which is much different than any other hunting fitness business.

On this episode, I'm joined by a Midwestern whitetail genius, adventure bowhunter, and Outdoor Writer Clint Casper as he made the trip to Pennsylvania to spend the weekend hiking the mountains with me. We hiked over 20 miles in search of elk sheds and scouting for mountain bucks. Bringing Clint's farm country whitetail knowledge and his experience hunting the west brought a unique perspective to looking at how these mountain bucks are potentially using the terrain. We covered some of the listener questions, scouting tactics, chasing dreams and much more! If you don't pick up anything else from this one, I'm sure you will still get a good laugh!
