| 5/5/26 | The Complete Guide to Understanding Mountain Thermals | In this solo episode, I dig into mountain thermals and everything hunters should know about them. Too many times I've seen hunters blow a stalk or bust a herd of elk out unknowingly because of assumptions of what thermals are.

| 2/23/26 | Quick Shots with Jim: Unique Elk Calling Tips | If you love calling elk, don't miss this episode. I share the four unique calling techniques I use when traditional calling isn't working. We've all been there, the standard bugle or cow calls are just not working that day. Maybe it's the weather or whatever various factor has changed, but the elk that were bugling here yesterday are not bugling today. Try these calls, they have all worked for me in some way either for myself or while guiding. Practice these techniques before season so they are solid when you get there.

| 1/28/26 | Ep. 248 | Skills over Gear with Aron Snyder | Aron Snyder of Born Primitive Outdoors returns to the show this week for a great conversation. Aron needs no introduction, he's been a leader in the hunting community for many years and I've always respected his fearless authenticity. In this episode, we not only touch on topics from gear to developing hunting skills to wilderness survival, we also find out on the internet that Aron supposedly died a few months ago, which was a shocking revelation for both of us. Clearly, if it says it online, it must be true. It's always a great time chatting with Aron, prepare to have your mind blown. Aron on Instagram Show Sponsors!

| 1/13/26 | ![]() Ep 246 | Bowhunting Caribou in Greenland with Matt Schoeller | Meet Matt Schoeller, a Colorado bowhunter, business owner, Dad, Husband, and Caribou guide in Greenland! I came across a post of Matt's on Instagram and couldn't figure out how I didn't know him, and knew he would be a great fit on the show. In this episode, Matt talks to us about bowhunting as a lifestyle, getting permission to hunt from landowners, bowhunting antelope, a life altering hunt for caribou with his Dad and brother in Greenland, and how that materialized to him becoming a guide for Bowhunting Greenland Outfitting each year, taking clients out for caribou and musk ox. It was a fantastic discussion, I really enjoyed having him on the show. He's a wealth of information and inspirational bowhunter, I have a feeling you're all going to be hearing a lot of him in the future! Matt on Instagram Show Sponsors!

Quick Shots with Jim: Using Crowded Units to Your Advantage | In Quick Shots with Jim, episode 2, I break down my strategy to utilize the crowds in high pressure units to my advantage. Due to where I guide, if the unit gets overly crowded, I don't have the luxery of taking my hunters to other units where we are not licensed to guide in. We have to work around the crowds, and thats exactly what we do. Learn how to get away from the vast numbers of weekend warrior hunters and thrive in even the most crowded units. Its not rocket science, but there are a few key things you can do to let those crowds work for you, not against you. jim.huntsman@eastmans.com Show Sponsors!
