Description

The New Hunters Guide is dedicated to helping new hunters get started and helping active hunters learn new things. If you have never hunted before, this is the podcast for you.


If you are thinking about going after a new type of game, this is the podcast for you. If you have experience and want fast nuggets of insight that took me years to learn, this is the podcast for you.


The New Hunters Guide is here to provide quick, tactical tips, things you can take into the woods tomorrow.


I touch on many different kinds of hunting including whitetail deer, spring turkey, fall turkey, pheasant, grouse, dove, ducks, geese, coyote, fox, small game, crows, woodchucks, and many more.


This podcast is your step-by-step guide to help you learn to hunt, learn to hunt new things, and learn to hunt more enjoyably.


I also, at times, discuss the relationship of Christianity to hunting and hunting culture.
