Field lessons from opinionated hunters.
KIFARUCAST pairs hunting stories with practical arguments about bows, rifles, optics, clothing, mapping, and mental control. The tone is loose and blunt, but the center of gravity is always problem-solving in the field.

KIFARUCAST is built around hunting conversations that start with what happened outside and then work backward into why it mattered. A mountain goat hunt in Colorado can turn into a discussion of weather, expectations, and the strange transition from military structure into civilian teamwork. A bowstring episode can spend real time on peep rotation, D-loops, bow presses, and the difference between a proper fix and a temporary field patch. A Q&A can jump from sight axis setup to footwear, broadheads, binoculars, and the practical economics of high-end optics. The show is not tidy, and that is part of its character. It sounds like people solving problems while the season is still on their clothes. Elk stories carry the weight of wind, fences, bugles, shot distance, and the odd disappointment of a hunt ending too quickly. Shooting conversations are just as concrete, with emphasis on practice positions, target acquisition, and making the shot before the moment disappears. Archery gets treated as both craft and mental discipline. The Joel Turner episode pushes into target panic, decision-making, trigger control, and the difference between drifting thoughts and deliberate thinking. Gear shows are not detached buyer guides. They are arguments about what holds up, what is worth the money, and what becomes useful only in a narrow situation. The guest list ranges from bowstring makers and tournament archers to wool-clothing builders, hunting friends, and mental-control specialists. The mood can be funny, irritated, reflective, or technical within the same stretch. It is often blunt, but the bluntness serves the larger point: poor preparation costs opportunities. KIFARUCAST rewards listeners who already care about the details. It assumes that a peep tuner, a prone rifle position, an elk packing job, or an anorak fabric choice can be worth a full conversation. The result is a practical, lived-in hunting show with a strong bias toward experience over theory.
Made for: Built for bowhunters, rifle hunters, backcountry gear obsessives, and archers who want practical talk from people who spend real time in the field. It especially suits listeners who like detailed problem-solving more than polished outdoor storytelling.
What sets it apart: KIFARUCAST stands out by turning messy hunt stories and gear complaints into usable field judgment. The show’s rough conversational style keeps the advice close to real conditions, not catalog copy.
Welcome to Kifarucast! Here we discuss everything from backpack hunting, gear, tactics, long distance shooting, traditional and compound shooting, Tenkara, food prep, etc
