Deer Camp, Fatherhood & Hunting Culture
About this episode
Brad Zima discusses deer camp traditions, fatherhood, and the deeper meanings of hunting culture.
Brad Zima joins the podcast for a long-form conversation about deer camp traditions, fatherhood, hunting culture, public land, stoicism, and why hunting feels like it’s about a whole lot more than antlers. We talk about ego in hunting, raising kids outdoors, respecting wild game, the loneliness creeping into modern life, and why community still matters now more than ever. From Wisconsin deer camps to mountain hunts in Alaska, this one goes well beyond gear talk and big bucks. Big thanks to the partners: Latitude Outdoors: Mobile hunting gear built for hunters who’d rather keep moving than sit in the same spot wondering if the wind betrayed them again. Rack Hub: Simple, smart gear storage that helps organize the growing pile of hunting equipment we all swear we actually need. Gerber Gear: Knives, tools, and gear built to actually get used instead of just photographed on tailgates. ASIO Gear: Technical hunting apparel designed for serious pursuit without taking yourself too seriously. HLRBO: Access to private land opportunities without the headache of knocking on doors or chasing down permission slips. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
