Tom Rowland Podcast

Turner Rowland is a professional Elk Hunting Guide in Bozeman, Montana. Today, he sits down with us on How2Tuesday to discuss the best ways to call in an elk. Turner recommends to never be afraid of closing the gap on the bull, and prefers to bow hunt over rifling. Playing the wind is a huge help when hunting, especially when calling down the mountain with a bull below you in the morning versus doing the same in the afternoon. Though doing the same technique, the hunter will get two different results as the wind travels differently during the morning and afternoon. The biggest advice Turner gives is to always be ready, play the wind, and get in the elk’s “backdoor”. From Turner’s experience, there are basically two strategies and possibly a hybrid between the two. First is the cow call, which is where you sound like a cow in an attempt to lure the bull elk to you. Second is the bugle call, which sounds like a bull elk that is threatening to pull other cows away from the dominant bull. Doing a hybrid of the two calls is a great approach for starting out hunting. The best strategy is “to get right up his backdoor” about a 100 yards away and call out to him. If you start calling from far away and move closer and closer when calling, the elk will know your location quickly and may lose interest if you’re too far out. Therefore when bugling, you need to bugle as loud and as close as you can, because there’s no point in bugling softly. Another great strategy is to take some tree branches and scrape them up and down a tree to mimic elks scraping antlers getting ready to fight. Males generally don’t want to fight, but if you call out aggressively, they’ll be looking for you to go after. Follow Turner on Instagram at @turnerrowland1 WIN A FISHING VACATION AT HAWKS CAY!

Todd Bumgardner is a fitness coach that has a few specialties, one of those being training for stalk hunting. In this podcast we talk about how you should be training for a hunt, as well as other training specialties that Todd is involved in. I recently had the chance to go on an elk hunt in Montana with my son Turner, and I am so glad I was in good physical fitness for this trip. Todd and I have similar opinions on some training but differ in others. It made for an interesting conversation.

Bouncer gives some excellent advice including: Use a hand scale every time Point the rod directly at the scale and pull back until the drag slips at 20% of the breaking strength Use the scale to observe how the drag changes as your customers or friends pull on the line and bend the rod Practice so much that you can know exactly how hard the angler is pulling by the bend in the rod.

Music can not only be a good distraction from pain, but it can also be used AS the workout or at least part of it. One of the songs I like to use is Roxanne by The Police. In this episode I go through how I use this song as a part of the workout rather than just as background. We also use “Bring Sally Up” (actually called Flower by Moby). There could be 1000s of other songs that may fit this format as well. Listen and learn how to do it. Do you have any songs that you use like this?

UFC legend Chad Mendes joins the podcast today. Throughout Chad’s UFC career he has been extremely vocal about his passion for hunting and fishing, so I naturally I am a big fan. He had me as a lifetime fan when I heard his tag line “The People’s Champ, Straight outta Deer Camp”. Chad Belding is Mendes’ business partner and he also joins the podcast today. Belding has a fascinating story of starting the brand BANDED and it’s rise to success following the lead of a couple of UFC brands. Mendes gives us his story of how he got started in the UFC, and what he has been pursuing lately. He just recently was on the Joe Rogan podcast to talk about a few of his businesses that he plays a huge role in, including a meat company, spice company, Finz and Featherz Guides, Peak meals, and more. Chad also shared news of his RETURN to the ring in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships.

This week, Capt. Justin Napior joins the podcast this week to tell us one of his tricks that he uses to prolong the life of his trailers and keep them generally rust free. A great point that he brings up is that your trailer goes through the most wear and tear while it’s sitting at the boat ramp, covered in saltwater and baking in the sun. Justin just takes an extra minute to spray down his trailer with fresh water, and he has seen the difference from personal experience of how much longer his trailers are lasting. If there is a hose at the ramp, that is easy but tune in to hear what Justin does at places without fresh water.

I recently started a new fitness program following Mat Fraser’s Hard Work Pays Off (HWPO) programming. One thing that we often do in this program is Every Minute On The Minute (EMOM).

The jump rope is one of my favorite pieces of workout equipment for two reasons: It’s VERY easy to travel with, and it’s cheap. I carry a jump rope with me in my car, travel bag, and of course in my gym. It is a great way to build cardio and get a great workout in, especially if you do not have a ton of space. In this episode, we go over the different types of ropes, and which one would be best for you.

We are wrapping up our summer challenges with one that will be great for any level of fitness. We are doing pushups this week and you can make this as easy or as hard as you want. Here’s the challenge: Pick a number to start with on day 1 and every day for the next 5 days you are going to double that number. So if you choose to do 10 push-ups on day 1, you would do 10, 20, 40, 80, 160. You can start with 1 pushup the first day and do 1, 2, 4, 8, 16. Make this a challenge for yourself and pick a number based off of your fitness level. This is a great way to start thinking about if you would like to participate in the 10,000 push-up challenge that we do every February. WIN A FISHING VACATION AT HAWKS CAY!

This coming Thursday is my birthday, so we will be doing a very special week of our summer challenges. Each year on my birthday I choose some sort of difficult physical challenge. This year I have decided to a HERO workout 5 days in a row. If you don’t know what a HERO workout is, it is a workout done in honor of someone that has fallen in the line of service, mostly the military. The MURPH is the most popular HERO workout. These workouts are all difficult and designed to be exactly that. This time, I don’t really suggest that anyone do this physical challenge. I don’t suggest it. Crossfit has a list of hundreds of these workouts to chose from, you can view them here: https://www.crossfit.com/heroes I will pick any of these. As long as it is on the list, it is fair game. So 5 days in a row this week I will be completing one of these workouts. This is not going to be easy or fun, but I’ll will be doing this in honor of those who have fallen. Even though I have warned you and suggested that you not do this, text me and let me know if you are in or not. 305-930-7346 WIN A FISHING VACATION AT HAWKS CAY!

When fishing consistently, especially if you are a guide, it is super important to journal. The advantages of this is that you save yourself from forgetting a spot, and you might be able to plan vacations due to your journal about what the conditions were like when the fishing was on. I am a huge advocate for journalling about where and when you found some fish and being able to track them down over and over again because you wrote it down. When I first started out journalling I was very attentive to details and tried to document everything. The issue is that with guiding, meeting with clients, spending time with family, cleaning the boat and more it was hard to find the time to journal and I quickly began to put it on the back burner. Luckily Simon Becker shared some tips with me about quick and pertinent information I need when journalling. I would use the Florida Sportsman Tide Charts and document my notes on them. Here are the 4 things I would recommend you note: Date Time of Day Location (GPS coordinates or even just “tower flat”) What did you find there (did you find redfish? Were they tailing? Did you find tarpon? Were they eating?) I know there are some people that will say that barometric pressure, wind speed, wind direction and so on are very important. They are certainly extremely important, but when I was journalling all of that information it was taking too much time and energy and I quickly would burn out. So with the 4 things from above you can write it down in a couple of seconds and then later you can go on sites such as Weather Underground and find all of that information about the weather at a later time. The most important thing to do is write it down, do not fool yourself that you can remember it later. Because months and years later you will have so many other things going on you will not remember the specifics about some tarpon you found in a certain area on a certain day. That information is crucial to being able to replicate when you are planning a vacation or taking out some customers and knowing that the conditions are right, if you go to the same location you will likely find the same thing. Because it is no coincidence that a school of tarpon will be tailing in a certain area. If you match the same conditions they will almost certainly be in the same spot every time.

The first of these is the debate on harvesting Goliath grouper. We dig into the positives and negatives of a harvest and expression our opinions. We also discuss the red tide that is taking place in Tampa Bay right now. Is it natural, or something that we have caused. We discuss all of this in today’s show. WIN A FISHING VACATION AT HAWKS CAY!

I got a question here asking what are the top 5 ways to be successful as a fishing guide. I am going to start at number 5 and work my way up, I’m sure if I got together with some other guides we could come up with way more, but here are my top 5: 5. Be professional - I wish when I started out that I understood that being a Fishing Guide was a business and that I treated it as such. I thought it was something I would do for a summer and didn’t think of it as a place of business where I needed to show up in a professional manner and be professional with my customers. There are very high profile people with plenty of money but little time. You are trusted with their most valuable asset and you should present yourself professionally. With this in mind marketing is very important and I wish that (if I could go back) I would have studied more marketing in school. 4. It’s not the biggest or the most - success as a fishing guide is not that you catch the biggest or the most fish. The most important thing you can do is showing your customers a good time. Give them a great experience, this means that they will return to you. That is then how you have a successful business. Have happy customers. 3. Communication - I wish someone had told me how important this was when I was starting out. This is the difference between being good vs. great. Skills with communication start before you even meet the client in person, they start with how you talk about your services online or on social media, all of this influences expectations of the customers. 2. Patience - Fisherman have to be patient, naturally, but you need to have patience in terms of running a successful business or being a successful fishing guide. These things take time to build, it’s a business and having patience with putting in years on the job and time on the water is super important. 1. Hard Work - if someone told me how much work this business would be when I was younger I might not have done it. It is a lot of work and as a guide your work does not start when you get up to go on the water, or when you end the day of fishing. Your work starts hours before the customer arrives, and it ends hours after they leave, you have to clean up and change the rigs on the rods and prepare for the next day. It’s hard work. These are the top 5 things I could think of off the top of my head. Of course, in order to be able to do any of these or all of them, you have to know how to take care of yourself (How To Extend Your Guiding Career). Eat well, watch your hydration, learn exercises that will help to reduce over use injuries, get as much sleep as you can and find time to quiet your mind. WIN A FISHING VACATION AT HAWKS CAY!

This week on How 2 Tuesday we are talking about how to keep your shrimp alive overnight. If you want to be out on the water before the bait shop opens, or if you just want to save some money and not waste shrimp, I’ve got a few tips in this episode that will help you keep your shrimp alive and healthy for multiple days straight. Having an aerator, air stone, and something for the shrimp to hold onto are some of the keys for making this happen. Be sure to listen to the podcast for the full details.

We are now on week 3 of our summer fitness challenges! Here’s the challenge for this week: Add a finisher to a workout, or if you don’t work out, get 30 minutes of exercise a day. Do either of these challenges every day for 5 days straight this week. A finisher could be 100 burpees at the end of a workout, or a mile run to finish your workout. If you don’t workout, it could be going to a gym to workout, or it could be something as simple as going for a run or going to play tennis. Remember that with each of these challenges we are keeping the quote from Bruce Lee in mind: “Absorb what is useful Discard what is not Add what is uniquely your own” Did you finish last week’s challenge?

Lefty Kreh made the 50% rule for leaders and I use it all the time. A 9ft leader is kind of standard. There is a very simple formula, the one made by Lefty. 4+2+1+2=9 4.5+6+3+1.5+3=13.5 We start with 50 and taper down to 15. We start 4ft of 50lb, 2ft of 30lb, 1ft of 25lb then double the last distance of 2ft of 15lb. Listen to me walk through it or here’s a video where I explain it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8vEd7NY53E

We are on week 2 of our summer challenges. Last week we meditated for 30 minutes, and this week the challenge is to drink a gallon of water at least 5 days out of the week. I use a Yeti jug to keep track of this. Remember that through this series of challenges we are going by the quote from Bruce Lee: “Absorb what is useful Discard what is not Add what is uniquely your own” Did you finish last week’s challenge?

“Absorb what is useful Discard what is not Add what is uniquely your own” -Bruce Lee This quote begins our summer physical challenges! We will try a few new things. Some are easy to do but easier not to do. Some will be real physical challenges. Some will be nutritional experiments. Give them a try if you like. Keep them in your routine if you like them, discard if you don’t. Here’s the challenge for this week: Take 5 days this week to spend 15 minutes of meditation or 3 rounds of Wim Hof breathing, 5 days in a row. Meditation can be different for everyone. For me it will be the Wim Hof Method. Check out http://tomrowlandpodcast.com/blog/summer-challenge for videos on the Wim Hof Method plus other options for meditation.
