On this week’s Big Hunt Guys podcast, Trail and Lorenzo sit down with professional skateboarder and hunting guide Geoff Rowley and Jake Franklin from Kika Worldwide Outfitters.

The discussion dives into his passion for chasing bighorn sheep, guiding hunts, and the mindset that overlaps between skateboarding and mountain hunting. Jake and Geoff also recap the hunt for “Goliath”, which is one of the largest desert bighorn rams ever taken by Jason Hairston in 2017. Today's episode covers what might seem an unlikely intersection of skateboarding and hunting—but highlights the shared drive behind people and pursuits.Learn more about GOHUNT.Follow GOHUNT on Social Media:InstagramYouTube - Podcast ChannelYouTube - Main ChannelFacebook

Today’s episode is a special one. I’m sitting down with the man who first put a rifle in my hands, taught me patience in the field, discipline at the reloading bench, and—most importantly—what it truly means to respect the animal, the hunt, and the process.

And there’s no one I’d rather share that story with than my dad.Learn more about GOHUNT.Follow Brady on Instagram.Follow GOHUNT on Social Media:InstagramYouTube - Podcast ChannelYouTube - Main ChannelFacebook

In this first episode of the Miller Tines podcast, Brady Miller breaks down the mindset and mental toughness it takes to hunt mule deer (or really any animal for that matter).
