28: From Zero to Full Send: Teaching Herself How To Hunt With Trista Taylor (Wisconsin)
She didn’t grow up around guns, blinds, or whitetail stories at the dinner table. In fact, she didn’t even start hunting until her late 20’s. Just a 20-gauge, a dog named Luna, and a stubborn drive to figure it out herself.
Trista’s journey into the hunting world is the kind most folks don’t talk about. She fumbled her way through turkey seasons, watched more YouTube than she’d admit, and had her first deer walk out while she was sipping coffee at her backyard firepit. But that’s what makes her story powerful—it’s raw, self-taught, and rooted in sheer determination.
This episode digs into the early days: learning to shoot, missing birds, hunting while remodeling a house, and the moment she finally connected on a buck with her bow. From Wisconsin roots to western hunts, Trista’s story is proof that grit beats experience—and it’s never too late to start chasing something real.
Listen in, pass it on, and remember your first hunt.
