EatWild 104 - Hunting with your kids - How to do it right with Wyatt and Ryan Elphick

In this episode of Campfire Conversations on the EatWild Podcast, we gather around the fire at Whitetail Camp to learn how Wyatt and Ryan make for successful hunting partners.  Every hunter dreams of one day hunting with their kid. I’ve had a front-row seat watching Ryan support and nurture Wyatt’s love and enthusiasm for hunting, and the two of them have become remarkably successful along the way. I was curious how they built that shared passion, how they hunt together, and what’s contributed to their success in the field. After a successful hunt, they joined me around the fire to share their approach, along with practical tips for parents and young hunters navigating the journey together. We also talk about the importance of teamwork, patience, and the emotional connections formed through shared hunts, as well as balancing time in the woods with family life. The conversation looks ahead to future aspirations — from dream moose hunts to big adventures still on the horizon — and dives into the gear, shooting techniques, and mindset that can be game-changers for young hunters. This episode is a reflection on a great season, strong partnerships, and the lessons passed down along the way — told the way they’re meant to be shared: around the campfire.
