Steve Ecklund and Joe Eppele with The EDGE - Episode 91
Wednesday Oct 28, 2020
Wednesday Oct 28, 2020
You may recognize this podcast at Archery Maniacs. I will be making a transition to Battle Mountain Podcast from Archery Maniacs. It will still cover all the archery tips, tactics, and stories that you know, like and trust, but by transitioning to Battle Mountain Podcast I will also be able to cover rifles, muzzle loaders, ebikes, reloading, photography, videography, and so much more. I am by no means allergic to rifles, in fact I love rifle hunting. I just figure that people don’t come to a podcast called Archery Maniacs wanting or searching for rifle hunting topics. By making the switch it will allow me to cover all the basis and have a blast doing it. I truly appreciate all of your support and hope that you continue to enjoy the podcast. It is now my pleasure to introduce to you, the first ever Battle Mountain Podcast Episode!
In this episode Steve Ecklund and Joe Eppele with The EDGE join the show. We cover all sorts of topics including getting started on TV, funny hunting stories, most memorable hunts, ethics, and a bunch more, I hope you enjoy the show.

In this Episode I have John Barklow on the podcast. Any podcast titled "Trapped Between A Fallen Horse and a Pile of Rocks" has got to be interesting right? We talk all about his 2018 season, where it started, his summer practice routine, the hunts he went on, and of course the potentially life threatening situation he found himself in when the horse fell. I hope you enjoy the show.

This episode I have Colter Fosdik on the podcast. It goes without saying that the most important aspect of life to Colter is his kids and his family. He does his best to involve his kids in the outdoors and is willing to put in the extra work required to have them along. Colter has been bowhunting for quite awhile and landing his family back in AZ from MT has his focus shifted to the gray ghost. Since then he has lived and breathed coues deer. In this episode we cover:
- His start into hunting coues deer
- The type of terrain the coues deer like to call home
- Javelina in coues country
- Aiming on coued deer, and potentially anticipating their quick reflexes
- His bow sight: what he prefers, ways he uses it, and what he might switch to
- Arrow setup
- Story of his 2019 coues deer
This has some excellent information on coues deer hunting. I hope it helps you be successful next time you chase the gray ghost.

Tim is a family man and puts them first in all aspects of life. It’s not a secret that he is also very passionate about the outdoors and spending as much time in them as possible, which to him is a normal part of his self-sufficient lifestyle.
The love and passion for the outdoors all started for Tim at the age of 12. He would simply grab a backpack, sleeping bag, fishing pole or rifle, and go give her hell. More often than not, he ventured out alone, with the solitude of the outdoors calling his name. His camera days started in college when he bought the best camera he could afford and began filming his steel head fishing trips.
The idea behind SOLO HNTR was to be different. “I want my viewers to feel the experience rather than just see it.” And boy do he and his co-hosts deliver on that. In this episode we cover:
- Tim asks me a few questions about myself
- Chat a little about editing
- His life behind the scenes of SOLO HNTR and how he balances family, hunting, destination hunts and what is most important
- His kids and hunting
- A little about his sheep hunt
- The most overlooked aspect of filming a hunt
- The most uncomfortable situations for him when hunting, the kind that make his skin crawl
- Experiences when running into other hunters
- His most rewarding hunt to date and why

High Country Colorado on a New Knee with Shaun Smith - Episode 70
Monday Feb 18, 2019
Monday Feb 18, 2019
Shaun Smith is on the podcast today. Shaun is known for busting his ass in the backcountry to find success. Always putting his son and wife first, he still finds time to crush it in the gym, meticulously go over his archery gear, and plan several hunts a year. Any nonresident hunter knows the true challenge of planning a hunt, let alone finding success. It’s not for the faint of heart and truly puts you to the test. Shaun has proven time and time again that his persistence, preparation, and dedication results in success. In this episode we cover:
- His disastrous knee injury, what the surgeon did to fix it, and his road to recovery.
- We discuss the planning process of his Colorado high country archery hunt taking into consideration that he had just came off of a major knee surgery.
- We jump into the hunt, his strategy, and his biggest buck to date.
- We cover some technical questions on stalking, locating, backing out of a stalk and more.
- We go briefly over his setup including arrow, broadhead, weight, etc.
- And of course, we saw a couple squirrels and went of on tangents. But hell, they might be tangents that are very valuable.
