267 | Hunting Lethality — How Do Animals Die?

80 min
View
As hunters, we should know how to quickly and cleanly kill the animals we pursue. Not just how to choose a bullet or broadhead. Or how to place a projectile "in the vitals". We should understand the animal's physiological systems and how to affect those systems to cause death. In this episode, we speak with Hornady's Lead Ballistician, Jayden Quinlan, to understand how, exactly, animals die. We eventually work our way into talking about the performance of projectiles — such as expansion and penetration — but the primary purpose of this episode is to provide a foundational understanding of physiological systems and how to affect those systems to cause death. Whether you hunt with bullets, broadheads, or both — you will find great value in the information shared in this episode.

59 min

The backcountry is big, beautiful...and unforgiving. We shouldn't pursue the backcountry in fear, but we should be prepared for the possibility of difficult, or even dangerous conditions. If you find yourself in that moment where you or someone you are with needs rescue, what do you do? Hopefully, you have a means of requesting rescue assistance. But what does that really mean? What happens when you request assistance, and how can you best prepare — both now and in the moment — for a backcountry rescue? We answer those questions with air rescue pilot, Jason Fawson. Jason is not only a backcountry first responder, he has been forced to call for rescue in the backcountry while on a trip. If you truly "hunt backcountry", you need to tune-in to this episode and learn from Jason's experience. podcast@exomtngear.com
