Description
I’m a blue collar family man that hunts 150 + days a year. This podcast is a place for me to answer questions, do hunt recaps, rant about funny things that happen to me as a dad or on the job site, and most importantly try to get the info out there to guys who want to hunt as much as the “insta-fluencers” but don’t think it’s attainable as an average, everyday, normal guy.. I’m here to tell you it’s 100% doable through hard work and some lucky/smart decisions. I’ll share things I’ve learned over the years to build this lifestyle I’m blessed with and hopefully a few laughs at my expense.

This week I was hunting mule deer at home in Nebraska, running 5K’s with my kids and living that “EARN YOUR HUNT” lifestyle all while being filmed for an upcoming film for Argali’s YouTube page. Hunting is a matter of inches there is a small margin between perfect shot and shit show. YOU DON’T LEARN ANYTHING FROM A PERFECT SHOT! drinking game phrase of the week: “it is what it is” try monotone too hammered you’ll never accomplish anything this week!
Talking about the upcoming hunt I’m doing for Argali.. givin some thoughts on their new clothes… recapping my wife’s deer hunt.. and as usual talkin some shit in annoying voices..
Whitetails suck! 😂 little recap of the latest hunt in Oklahoma and Texas with my 2 kids. It was a bit of a struggle, per the usual, but ended AWESOMELY! In the words of the late great Clay Newcomb.. “I really doubt… you’re gonna wanna miss this one…” 😂 he’s not dead.. late great just sounds good.. ENJOY!
I get to “adventure” hunt all over the place.. But honestly nothing beats hunting back home with the family! If your a cynical hunting douche please take a kid hunting (keep your BS to yourself) AND REMEMBER WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT!
You lucky bastards… I cranked this part 2 out quick.. YOUR WELCOME!!
Sometimes it’s not your physical or mental ability that stands in your way on a hunt…. In typical Jake Downs fashion my latest trip to Alaska to hunt Dall sheep was a bit of a shit show.
Little recap of my recent trip to California to hunt Tule elk. Disclaimer: half the episode is a recap on the cluster F$&K that is United Airlines.. ear candy per the usual!
Our world sucks these days… built to make you anxious… this week I use my 5 fans as my therapist… wow just writing the description makes me wonder why anyone would listen 😂
What gives me the right to “review” critique a hunt film or a far more successful podcast than this one? Not sure.. but I do it anyway!
If for whatever reason you care what my bow setup looks like this year.. YOU ARE IN LUCK! I had a few minutes on my way to a service call and back to ramble on about how awesome my new bow is.
We all think we are Michael Jordan… and we’re doing something special preparing”special” preparing for season… WE’ER NOT… But if you’d like to know what I do in the last month and a half before season and have absolutely nothing else to listen to… here you go
Feel like the late great Paul Harvey 🥸 with little back story on my bow switch and some fun with the family at the High Country Shoot!
3D shoots.. no local support… bugs… summer things
Paddle fishing, eating Taco Bell, and fasting
New Zealand recap and travel rant…
Well it’s not official yet.. BUT once the votes are tallied.. I believe I will be crowned this years “WORST GUIDE” 🤞🤞
Preparing to guide a few “clients“… random work stuff… and diving deep on a few new gear items and my new Arrow setup…
Part 2 of my shit show up in the arctic
Musk ox part 1…. Turning a 100% success rate hunt into a 2 week mess 25% success rate hunt.. MY LUCK IS UNMATCHED..
What a shit show… Jake’s not cut out for guiding! My wife who’s usual a stone cold killsa, FALLS APART… thank god little man was there to keep us from killing each other! 😂 not a bad little episode with 2 reluctant guests!
