Jake Bush - Times Like These

An ever evolving podcast centered round the outdoor &amp; hunting space, Jason Holliday delivers candid, yet insightful reviews of the gear and equipment used on hunting adventures, ranging from backcountry archery elk hunts in the mountains of Colorado, to midwest whitetail hunts on small public and private hunting grounds. Holliday blends a healthy mix of "story time" and "one on one" conversations with those that share his passion for the great outdoors!

Finally listened to this podcast...it was epic...it came up after the Aron podcast...which was great too!  As a fellow midwestern guy in the infancy of an elk addiction I am enjoying your podcast and feel I relate to your experiences pretty well.  Keep up the good work.

Johnny Utah!

Love the conversation had on Jason’s podcast. This seems like a Podcast that’s thought out beforehand with structure and randomly dives off occasionally into stories by Jason and his guests which leads to some of the best information and advice.

Great, Informational Podcast

On todays show I talk with Mark Smith to discuss our first scouting trip into the high country of Colorado. We were only there a short amount of time, but the lessons we learned, may be just what we need to fill a tag on a bull elk. THIS IS A MUST for anyone who's thinking about making the trip for the first time.

In 2019 I invested in a nearly complete layering system from Sitka. At first I was apprehensive, but after doing a bit of research through podcasts, as well as calling the company directly, I was given quite the education with the science behind this product.   DISCLAIMER: I am not a paid endorser for Sitka, these are nearly my candid reviews of their products after nearly a years worth of use in the mountains and whitetail woods. I hope this brings you some value.  https://www.sitkagear.com

By the time September 2019 arrived, I had racked up quite the bill for an elk hunt that wasn't supposed to cost as much as it did, and had yet to purchase a quality range finder, so I walked into my local Walmart, and bout the Halo 450 XL for less than $100. How would a "cheap" rangefinder perform in the mountains of Colorado? Give this one a listen and find out!

On today's show I give a candid review to the Colorado hiking/hunting boot, made by Crispi, an Italian boot manufacturer, that was started in 1975, and now has a distribution center here in the United States. Since I was going on an elk hunt in Colorado, I surmised that a boot with the same name was the best choice! Joking aside, I was actually taking a risk never even trying the boot on prior to purchase, however I was very pleased with how the boot performed, in not only the Colorado mountains but the whitetail woods of Ohio as well. https://www.crispius.com

2019 Deer Season Recap

On todays show I talk about my 2019 buck, first kill with the new bow, first buck since dad died, and the importance of getting back to your "roots". I've been blessed to have taken several nice bucks over the years, but after passing on so many bucks, losing my dad, the family property changing owners, prepping for a wedding, work and family priorities, I had a real heart to heart with myself, and proudly put my tag on a nice little buck!  I also bought the meat grinder I have always wanted!  I feel there's a lot of value in this episode. Not necessarily from hunt tactics, but from a more "down to earth" perspective, that revolves around what's most important when it comes to our time in the field. Hope you enjoy this episode.   instagram.com/jasonholliday545
