Most hunting content is a lie.
All you see are the highlight reels — big bucks, perfect shots, and success stories that make it seem like everyone out there has it figured out.
But that’s not reality.
Unlucky Hunters Matter is for the hunters who know what it actually feels like.
The empty sits. The missed opportunities. The blown hunts that keep you up at night. The seasons where nothing seems to go right.
This podcast is about the side of hunting nobody wants to talk about.
The mistakes. The frustration. The mental battles that happen when you're sitting alone in the woods questioning everything.
Because the truth is — that’s where real growth happens.
Every episode breaks down real experiences from the field, diving into what went wrong, what was learned, and why those moments matter just as much as success.
This isn’t about being the best hunter.
It’s about being the one who keeps showing up.
The one who learns. The one who adapts. The one who doesn’t quit when things get hard.
Because in the end, success in the outdoors isn’t just about what you harvest…
It’s about who you become along the way.
If you’ve ever:
Walked out of the woods wondering what you did wrong
Replayed a missed shot over and over in your head
Felt like you were the only one struggling
You’re not alone.
This is where those stories get told.
This is where real hunters connect.
This is Unlucky Hunters Matter.
Real hunts. Real mistakes. Real lessons.
Failure, Consistency, and What Success Really Looks Like
Not every hunt goes as planned.
In this episode of Unlucky Hunters Matter, we dive into the side of hunting most people don’t talk about — the empty sits, the missed opportunities, and the lessons learned the hard way.
We talk about:
The hunts nobody talks about
How close failure really is to success
The danger of measuring seasons only by filled tags
What consistency actually looks like in the woods
And why some of the best moments have nothing to do with pulling the trigger
Because the truth is… success in the outdoors isn’t just about what you harvest.
It’s about what you learn, what you experience, and why you keep showing up.

My Best Season Didn't Come Easy
Some seasons test you more than others.
In this episode of Unlucky Hunters Matter, I break down one of the best seasons I’ve ever had in the woods — but it didn’t come easy. From missed opportunities and hard lessons to breakthrough moments that finally started to click, this season reminded me why hunting is never as simple as it looks.
We talk about public land pressure, mental battles during tough hunts, mistakes that still replay in my head, and the lessons learned from grinding it out when things don’t go as planned.
Because the truth is — the seasons that challenge us the most often become the ones we remember forever.
If you’ve ever had a hunt that humbled you, this episode is for you.

This Isn’t Just a Hobby — Why Unlucky Hunters Matter
What is Unlucky Hunters Matter really about?
In this episode, I slow things down and share the story behind the podcast — why it started, who it’s for, and why the outdoor community needs more real conversations about failure, mistakes, and the lessons learned the hard way.
This isn’t a highlight‑reel show. It’s about the reality of hunting and fishing — especially on public land — where the wind shifts, pressure shows up, plans fall apart, and success is never guaranteed.
We talk about: • Growing up watching “pro hunter” TV and how reality looks different • Why hunting and fishing aren’t hobbies — they’re part of who we are • The everyday hunters and anglers who make up the backbone of the outdoor community • Why our stories deserve to be told and heard • A teaser about the first Unlucky Hunters Matter hat drop
If you’ve ever felt more defined by the lessons than the success… this episode is for you.
Because not all hunts go as planned.
