On this episode I had the pleasure of talking to Rob Decosta (Owner/Guide of D.O.A. Guide Services). Rob is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to hunting waterfowl as well as calling. He is not only an expert at talking the talk in the field, he is also involved in competition calling as well! With mostly return clients every year, the service you get with D.O.A. speaks for itself. Rob had nothing but awesome things to say about all of the guides that work for him and you can tell he has the utmost respect for all of them and the clients seem to as well!

On todays episode I met up with Tayler Wells at a local brewery on a Wednesday after work and had a couple beers while talking hunting! Tayler is a pretty technical guy that dives into everything from tying flies to tinkering with archery equipment. We didn't really go into this one with any specific topics in mind but just nice to site down, have a couple beers and talk hunting. Talking to Tayler was like talking to an old friend even though we had literally just met. I enjoyed the conversation and hope you do as well.

On this weeks episode I had the pleasure of talking to myself!! I go over the struggle of hunting solo OTC public land here in California. I dive into different tactics used this season and what I've learned. I always want to stay true and transparent about just being an average guy who's doing this because its a passion and am humbled everyday I'm in the field. I don't ever want to sugar coat the reality and the challenge I have to stay motivated chasing these, what seem to be grey ghosts. However, I do my best to stay positive each and every day knowing that "today is the day I fill my tag". Although, we all know this is not the case, it is mandatory to keep that attitude if we ever want to find consistent success.
