The Orvis Hunting and Shooting Podcast

Ryan Aune built Wyoming Wings & Waters on a fisheries biology degree, a family outfitting legacy, and a deep conviction that the country's least-populated state holds some of its most underrated bird hunting. In this episode, Ryan walks Reid through how he got into the guiding business, what makes Wyoming's land and wildlife resources so exceptional, and how he puts clients onto birds in a state most hunters don't know much about. Sage grouse, chukars, and, yes, grizzly bears all make an appearance. More about Ryan at wywingsandwaters.com

PRO Outfitters in Montana has always attracted characters, and Owner Brandon Boedecker keeps it that way on purpose. For about a decade, one of those characters was a young Simon Perkins, who guided hunters and anglers under Brandon before eventually becoming President of The Orvis Company. In this conversation, the two old friends look back at the culture Brandon built, the dogs and places that defined it, and the stories that remain legendary.

Christian Zeron is a watch dealer, marketing executive, and newly minted hunter whose Instagram platform, @Theoandharris, has earned him a remarkably warm reception from the hunting community. A New Jersey native with no hunting background, Christian caught the bug hard after his first duck hunt and has been documenting the journey ever since. Reid sits down with him to explore what's drawn so many people to follow along, what genuinely excites a newcomer to upland and waterfowl hunting, and what this world looks like when you're seeing it for the first time.
