The title of this episode relates to a question we have all found ourselves asking many times before. Whether we are considering burning a few vacation days, or arrowing a pesky squirrel bent on molesting our deer hunt, we all have those questions while we are hunting. As an avid hunter and outdoorsman, Kris Chain of My Season Report had those same questions and he began to formulate a singular resource where folks like us could go to quickly find our answers. My Season Report is the product of that plan. Kris joins the show to talk about how exactly his incredible tool came to be, what he likes to chase after in the woods, and of course we rabbit trail all over the map hitting topics like education, the fiery fury of bear spray, and weird things we do as parents.    Visit Kris' Website   Follow Kris: @myseasonreport   Follow The Hunt Fish Life: @hntfsh_life Follow Alex: @alexg.hunt Follow East2West Hunts: @east2westhunts   Check out the First Gen Hunter Website Follow First Gen Hunter Instagram: @first.gen.hunter GoWild: @Kent Boucher Facebook: @first.gen.hunter   Support First Gen Hunter by shopping at the following partners: Spartan Forge Camofire Black Ovis My Medic MTN OPS Fox River Socks GunSkins East2West Hunts Use promo code: firstgen10 = 10% off any purchase

I say it all of the time, the best part of running your own hunting show is that you get to talk with some incredible hunters on a regular basis. Through the 85 episodes of The First Gen Hunter Podcast, Noel Gandy and Heath Rayfield have stood out as not only very talented hunters, but all around great dudes. In this episode we reviewed the 2021 hunting season and heard all of the drama that goes into a great season like these gents had.   Follow Noel: @noelgandy   Follow Heath: @heathrayfield   Follow Buckventures The Woodsman: @bv_the_woodsman   Follow The Hunt Fish Life: @hntfsh_life   Follow Alex: @alexg.hunt Follow East2West Hunts: @east2westhunts   Check out the First Gen Hunter Website Follow First Gen Hunter Instagram: @first.gen.hunter GoWild: @Kent Boucher Facebook: @first.gen.hunter   Support First Gen Hunter by shopping at the following partners: Spartan Forge Camofire Black Ovis My Medic MTN OPS Fox River Socks GunSkins East2West Hunts Use promo code: firstgen10 = 10% off any purchase    

It ain't easy being a first generation hunter. Like many things hunting requires a wealth of knowledge and skills needed to reach a breakthrough moment and find some measurable success as a brand new participant. In this episode I am joined by fellow first gen hunters Amos Medford and Josh Hillyard to share stories and thoughts that have come along with our efforts to breakthrough as first gen hunters.  Follow Amos: @wannabehuntingpodcast   Follow Josh: @josh.hillyard   Follow The Hunt Fish Life: @hntfsh_life   Follow Alex: @alexg.hunt Follow East2West Hunts: @east2westhunts   Check out the First Gen Hunter Website Follow First Gen Hunter Instagram: @first.gen.hunter GoWild: @Kent Boucher Facebook: @first.gen.hunter   Support First Gen Hunter by shopping at the following partners: Spartan Forge Camofire Black Ovis My Medic Alien Gear Holsters MTN OPS Fox River Socks GunSkins East2West Hunts Use promo code: firstgen10 = 10% off any purchase    

Humans have several unique symbiotic relationships with different species in the various kingdoms of life, but none is more famous than our mutualistic relationship that we share with our canine companions. For thousands of years man and dog have roamed the earth depending on each other for food and safety, but in the postmodern age our partnership has evolved to include picking up sheds, and Jeremy Moore has been putting forth his best efforts to help spread the word on this recent training target for dog handlers. In this episode we will discuss Jeremy's story as an outdoorsman and dog handler, the number of sheds we walk past, and the finer details of teaching old dogs new tricks.

Hilariously disturbing is a term we will use in this one as Kent discusses with Alex, Brandon and guest Josh Divan of Pheasants Forever the ethics behind using a trail cam to catch someone in the act of a disturbing, yet public ritual. The crew also discusses a few new points sent in by a listener continuing the discussion on the importance of having plenty of hunters. Finally Josh talks about the current open enrollment period for landowners to put their qualifying acres into CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) designated ground to expand wildlife habitat. Plenty of great conversation that dances all over the map that you'll be glad you tuned in for.   Follow Pheasants Forever on Instagram: @pheasants_forever  Join Pheasants Forever   Follow The Hunt Fish Life: @hntfsh_life   Follow Alex: @alexg.hunt Follow East2West Hunts: @east2westhunts   Check out the First Gen Hunter Website Follow First Gen Hunter Instagram: @first.gen.hunter GoWild: @Kent Boucher Facebook: @first.gen.hunter   Support First Gen Hunter by shopping at the following partners: Spartan Forge Camofire Black Ovis My Medic MTN OPS East2West Hunts Use promo code: firstgen10 = 10% off any purchase

Rabbits are one of those timeless species that we assume hunters enjoy pursuing each season, but in reality there are many hunters who miss out on these furry little hunting season extenders. Hunting rabbits may seem fairly straight forward, but as you will soon find out after listening to Kevin, there is plenty of room for a good strategy for going into each hunt.   Follow Kevin: @murphyssmallgamenation   Follow The Hunt Fish Life: @hntfsh_life   Follow Alex: @alexg.hunt Follow East2West Hunts: @east2westhunts   Check out the First Gen Hunter Website Follow First Gen Hunter Instagram: @first.gen.hunter GoWild: @Kent Boucher Facebook: @first.gen.hunter   Support First Gen Hunter by shopping at the following partners: Spartan Forge Camofire Black Ovis My Medic MTN OPS East2West Hunts Use promo code: firstgen10 = 10% off any purchase
