Mentorship, Veterans & the Hunt That Matters Most | Joshua Dishman Story
Episode 60
Friday, 6 March, 2026
This is the final story in the 2025 Outdoorsman of the Year Finalist Series. Joshua Dishman isn’t just passionate about hunting — he’s passionate about sharing it. For Josh, the most meaningful hunts of the year aren’t always his own. Each season he donates a five-day blacktail hunt to a veteran or first responder, mentors youth hunters, and introduces new people to the outdoors whenever he can. In this episode of the HuntLeague Podcast, Josh sits down to share the story behind his 2025 season and what led to his selection as a finalist for Outdoorsman of the Year, the highest honor within the HuntLeague community. This season included: • A long-awaited backcountry hunt in Colorado • Months of physical preparation and ruck training • A successful muzzleloader elk hunt • Mentoring youth hunters and first-time outdoorsmen • Guiding a Marine Corps veteran on his first hunt • And keeping a 37 year blacktail streak alive But what defines Josh’s season isn’t just success in the field. It’s his belief that hunting is about community, mentorship, and sharing the outdoors with others. Josh works for a school district and regularly talks with students about hunting, conservation, and the value of time spent outside. He also serves as a committee member for the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, helping support conservation and habitat work that protects hunting opportunities for future generations. Inside the HuntLeague app, competitors log their hunts and scouting trips throughout the year, sharing their journey with the community. But the Outdoorsman of the Year title is not determined by the leaderboard or points alone. A panel of respected industry partners helps select the hunter who best represents the values of the outdoors. Judging partners include: Vortex Optics Seekins Precision HUXWRX Aziak Equipment Mountain Tough Four hunters rose to the top in 2025. This is Joshua Dishman’s story. If you believe hunting is about more than just the harvest — you’ll enjoy this conversation.
