Got questions? Send us a text!
Last week's episode's audio was the story part, btw. We apologize.
In this episode of the Mountain Dude Podcast, we sit down with Rodger Holscher—law enforcement officer, lifelong hunter, and one of the most dialed riflemen you'll ever meet. From growing up on a California cattle ranch to navigating high-stakes situations as a game warden and cop, Rodger shares raw, hilarious, and hard-earned wisdom from both the field and the force.
We talk:
Backcountry ballistics and long-range accuracy
How to read wind, build stable shooting positions, and prep like a pro
His journey from archery purist to rifle guru
Snake encounters, bear hunts, and why trigger time matters
Life lessons from law enforcement and faith-filled grit
Whether you're a hunter looking to improve your shooting or just here for the stories, this one’s packed with gold—and a few rattlesnakes.
