   Difficult Hunts, Staying Effective - Plus Yukon Moose Success!

   Alex Nadeau and I are in the tent alongside a creek in the Yukon high country. We tell the amazing story of our first-night connection with a huge bull Moose and then we get into a discussion on staying positive while in the field on long hunts. You can watch videos from this trip on our new YouTube channel, John Schneider's Wild Life (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG6diCN-nm_nUS-BS-hJHTA?sub_confirmation=1). Alex and I share some of the tips and tricks we've learned about staying comfortable while glassing and performing other sedentary activities when we're hunting. Cold and discomfort can affect your success in a huge way. More time spent on the mountainside glassing means more likelihood that you will spot the animal that you are after. There is a definite skill involved with staying in a positive mindset in the wild. Loneliness, stiffness, and other discomforts will all present themselves as obstacles to success we're hunting...at some point along the way. Here are some ideas to help you spend more time in the field. Enjoying the adventure. Something new! We've launched a YouTube channel... "John Schneider's Wild Life (https://www.youtube.com/@JohnSchneidersWildLife)".

   Yukon Sheep Hunt with Alex Nadeau

   Sitting in a tent alongside a small river in the Yukon Territories of northern Canada on a rainy afternoon, Alex tells us the story of his recent successful sheep hunt. Maybe you will never get a chance to hunt thinhorn sheep in your life, but it is pretty cool to hear the story from someone who does just that on a regular basis. The Yukon is a special place. Also in this episode is an update from me on the show rebrand and where we are headed on our journey of wild food exploration. I've purchased a boat, or I should say that we have purchased a boat. It is an emotional story that is best told by Sass herself. You can head over and subscribe to our YouTube channel "John Schneider's Wild Life" (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG6diCN-nm_nUS-BS-hJHTA?sub_confirmation=1) and catch up on the episodes there to hear the whole story. Thanks for sticking with us on this re-brand break. We're back and we'll post new episodes on a slightly reduced schedule until I can afford to hire some content managers as part of the team. Cheers!

   Jim Willems - A Traditional Bowhunter's Journey

   This is a good episode! I recently had the chance to chat with Pope & Young (https://pope-young.org/)Club's past President, Jim Willems. Jim is an outstanding traditional bowhunter whose passion for bowhunting takes him far and wide. He's taken numerous world-class animals with his recurve and speaks eloquently about taking back the word "trophy hunter". That discussion alone, and hearing his take on hunting big bucks and bulls, is enough to make this episode great, but then we get to talking about ways that folks can access hunting opportunities around them. It is one thing to pick up a new bow and get geared up and proficient with arrow accuracy, and then it's a whole other thing to actually get out hunting. Hopefully, this episode helps you with that. Welcome to the Traditional Bowhunter's Journey...brought to you in cooperation with the Traditional Bowhunter Magazine (https://tradbow.com/). This episode is also brought to you by the fine folks over at Novem Archery (https://www.3riversarchery.com/novem-split-finger-tab.html). I am shooting one of their finger tabs right now, and I like it a lot. Something new! We've launched a YouTube channel...
