In this episode, Brett Amundsen stops by to discuss various aspects of goose hunting, particularly in relation to changing weather conditions and their impact on hunting tactics. We delve into the importance of scouting and adapting to wet conditions, as well as the transition from old hunting dogs to new ones. We chat about the role of AGLOW in supporting outdoor writers and the significance of networking within the outdoor industry.

It was March 22, 2017 when I last interviewed Jana for episode 179 about her Alaska Moose Hunt, I can’t believe it’s been that long!

Jana Waller joins me in the virtual studio from her new home in Utah – we chat about her show Skullbound Chronicles, and how she’s making the shift from traditional network tv to an all-digital platform on Carbon TV.

She shares the harrowing story of her goat hunt and how she scored a coveted conservation tag, she reveals a moment of panic and overcoming her fear of heights, and she tells us why this 17 day hunt became one of her all time favorites.

We then move on, and she shares her #1 tip for someone looking to break into the outdoor industry, and then we talk about social media trolls. And of course how NOT to feed the trolls.

Jana then talks about a social media tip she got from her good friend Melissa Bachman about why you shouldn’t report the troll accounts.

And she goes on to tell us about hunts she’s been able to take veterans on and how they’ve really touched her heart.

And finally, we promised to not allow 7 years to pass before the next interview!

In this 15 minute solocast I share my experience at the Wounded Warriors United Wisconsin Warriors on the Water Event in Oshkosh, Wisconsin over the weekend, and then I share my thoughts on a few organizations that put on veterans hunting and fishing trips.

And my biggest regret with discovering these organizations.
