Our 100th podcast release and it couldn't be a better topic launching at a more opportune time, the holidays. You don't have to film hunts to enjoy this one, in fact you don't even have to be a hunter. Your host, Tom Petry visits with 4 different groups of people to share very special stories from this hunting season. Stories of good people/hunters doing selfless, good things for others without the expectations of a return. Some of these stories and the friendships that came out of them, are almost unbelievable. A chain of events that regardless of your beliefs, happened "for a reason". Memories that will be cherished by all parties involved for a lifetime. Tom hopes that this podcast will be the most shared Film The Hunt Podcast ever in efforts to help promote the fact that despite what we sometimes see on social media, most people are good. We all just need to do a better job of breaking out of our comfort zone at times and make it a point to meet more people and to help spread more kindness and joy. In light of this holiday season, we ask that you please listen, share this with a friend or loved one and most of all we thank you, for being a good person. It may be long, but it's worth the listen, trust me!Thank You so much to both old friends and new for spending the time talking with me on this one; Blake VanTussenbrook (Badlands Gear), Brian McPeek (Landowner), Jason Matzinger & Tara Banks (Into High Country & Tara Banks Art), Jorden Susewitz (Film The Hunt), Cody Salzman (Elk Hunter), Caleb Pool (Elk Hunter).  To learn more about our on-site program, visit our website at https://filmthehunt.com/onsite-courses/For more information or to sign up for the ALL NEW ONLINE CLASS, click here https://www.skool.com/film-the-hunt-2515/aboutFILM THE HUNT FB PAGE: https://www.facebook.com/filmthehunteducation/FILM THE HUNT INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/film_the_hunt/

Tom sits at the table in Montana elk camp near a crackling fire in the woodstove and under a propane lantern as they discuss everything elk. From chatting with newby cameraman and Film The Hunt student about his struggles and WOW moments to reliving the moment we will all leave remembering with the entire crew. This conversation with Tom, Jorden Susewitz, Chris Hayes, Mike Hilbert and Brayden Eppinette is such a fun, educational and valuable one that we feel will inspire you to want to get out west yourself and document these incredible animals. A couple of cocktails and camaraderie the crew wouldn't trade for anything. And happy to be able to share it with you!

One of the most special podcasts we've ever done as Tom visits with Jorden Susewitz and Jordan Larsen to reminisce about the last decade and how we all met through Film The Hunt. The conversation then goes on to our days spent together elk hunting and filming in Montana and then to present day to the Togiak River in Alaska. A 2 part story of a student that has so much heart and passion and a drive to go after life and live it well. Tom says "this is by far my favorite success story of any student to ever come through the Film The Hunt doors" and he's excited to share it with you. Crack a cold one or don't of course if you're driving...haha, and enjoy the heartfelt, in depth story of Jordan Larsen of the Togiak River Lodge. To learn more about our on-site program, visit our website at https://filmthehunt.com/onsite-courses/For more information or to sign up for the ALL NEW ONLINE CLASS, click here https://www.skool.com/film-the-hunt-2515/aboutFILM THE HUNT FB PAGE: https://www.facebook.com/filmthehunteducation/FILM THE HUNT INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/film_the_hunt/
