I recently spent a good deal of time digitizing a lot of our old hunting photos and while I was doing that (and cross referencing with corresponding journal entries) I noticed a common theme. Most successful hunts involved committed determination and the unwillingness to give up. Regardless of the modality that was used to harvest the deer, the greatest influence on success (in my opinion) is to never give up. So this week, we decided to sit down and discuss some past hunts and why never giving up is the single most important (and easiest- it takes no special talent) thing that contributes to a successful hunt.

This week we sit down and discuss some recent fishing trips and some of the factors that influence success both on the water and in the deer woods. Have you ever heard of the solunar theory? Or how about those calendars that indicate the “good days” to be out fishing are hunting. Yes, most of us have seen them. However, I’ve personally never given much thought to charts that “predict” good hunting and fishing. I feel any day I have a chance to get out hunting or fishing is a good time to go😁. So, today we expound on those predictors of good hunting and fishing and the fundamentals from which they are based upon.

This week we piggyback off of our last episode in regard to the growing effects of FoMO (fear of missing out), how it has been amplified by social media and its effects on the outdoorsman. FoMO has always been a thing (we just didn’t have a term for it years ago) and while a little bit of FoMO might be a good motivator for some; too much can have negative effects on our health. As the saying goes, a little bit goes a long way😉. Enjoy! #outdoors #fearofmissingout #maineoutdoors Contact: maineoutdoorenthusiast@gmail.com

This week we sit down and discuss the implications social media has on hunting, fishing...all outdoor activities for that matter. We get into the good, the bad and the ugly. I share my approach to using social media both as a consumer and producer. Enjoy! #socialmedia #outdoorlife #deerhunting Contact: maineoutdoorenthusiast@gmail.com

In this episode, we finally get my wife, Lacey, to join us. We discuss a wife's perspective on hunting and the interplay between spouses. Hunting season can be strenuous on our "other half". But with good communication and a little give and take, deer season can be successful both in the deer woods and at home.

In this weeks episode, we discuss the inner drive that pushes us to get out there and hunt, even on days when we may not feel like it. We also touch upon societal shifts that are reshaping local/small communities and what those implications are for the future of outdoorsmen. Enjoy!#outdoors #hunting #hunter
