6 Ranch Podcast

The two most successful wildlife conservation models in the world are the North American and African models, both of which rely upon hunting. However, hunting North America is increasing in cost and is more and more reliant upon lottery systems with many hunts requiring decades of applications to get the state’s permission to hunt. Cliff Gray is a professional hunter and guide with a lifetime of hunting experience and recently returned from his first trip to Africa. This is the most honest and frank conversation you’ve ever heard about African hunting and we spend time discussing the differences between that and the western hunting experience.

Planing an out of state hunt can be really intimidating. My buddy Brian Trainor from Rucklist is headed to Alaska this fall for a moose hunt and we talk about the planning process and all the logistics that go into a hunt like this. What happens when transportation breaks down? How do you get meat back from Alaska? What are some gear considerations? It’s also just a good conversation. Enjoy and get outside.

My friend Buck worked as a sniper in the National guard and the USMC. He’s now considered by many to be the nation’s foremost expert of rifle optics.

Enjoy the beginning of my 7th year of bringing you a new podcast every week.

You asked the questions, and I answered them. For those who enjoy the diversity of subjects in this podcast, which I assume is most of you— this is the rapid fire version of that. Don’t forget to get outside and enjoy yourselves.
