Old-School Skills & Modern-Day Mountain Hunting with Cade Cole
Description
This week on the Hunt West Podcast, I sit down with one of the most unique hunters you'll ever meet — Cade Cole. If Jeremiah Johnson and a backcountry rifleman had a kid who grew up in blue jeans, it'd be Cade. He's a young guy with an old soul, a no-nonsense attitude, and the kind of woodsmanship that doesn't come from gadgets — it comes from time in the mountains.
We get into:
-
Why Cade hunts with simple, old-school gear, and still gets it done year after year
-
The story behind his "primitive" elk hunt with no food, no water, no modern comforts, just a trad bow and his pony
-
Real rifle proficiency vs. long-range obsession
-
Still-hunting tactics that actually work on elk and mule deer
-
How mental toughness often beats physical fitness in the mountains
...And so much more. If you want to sharpen your shooting, toughen up your mindset, and maybe ditch a few "high-speed" crutches along the way, this episode is a masterclass in keeping it simple and hunting hard.
