Western Hunter

El Jefe is back! Chris, Brody, Tom, and Levi discuss the results of the survey for Issue 4 of 2026 - The Gear Issue. We asked what kinds of things our readers are thinking about, what works and what doesn't, and the types of tools they want us to cover both in this issue and future issues. The answers were once again very thoughtful and interesting! If you enjoy the cast, please subscribe/save/review it on whatever platform you're listening on!

In this episode, Brody talks with the three pillars of Outdoorsmans: Josh Adderson, Bryce Cramer, and Chad Dembinski. These three account for 90% of the operation of the most highly respected glassing retailers in the country. This episode provides a  look at the day-to-day life of an Outdoorsmans employee as well as a dive into what makes these guys tick. Spoiler alert: it's nothing but hunting. Visit Outdoorsmans.com for all your tripod/optics needs and expert advice on glassing gear.

In this episode, Brody sits down via telephone with Dioni Amuchastegui, an emerging legend of the West. Dioni is an incredibly dedicated mule deer hunter with the trophy room to prove it. Brody got to pick his brain on tactics, weapons, and the current state of various mule deer populations and habitats. Dioni also created the Guardian Chest Plate, a universal holster-carrying system for binocular harnesses that you will be seeing more and more of in the near future.

This episode was recorded in Kevin's truck on the road home from the Mason Valley NRL Hunter match. Kevin, Brody, and Tom did a solid debrief of things they saw, felt, and learned while shooting/filming the match. This was Kevin's fifth NRL Hunter shoot and Brody's first. Tom was along to capture it, and he had some unique observations of his own. As always, thank you for listening.
