From Big Bucks to Bear Hunts: Catching Up with Jordan Budd
Monday, 22 June, 2026
Our friend, Jordan Budd returns to the Rokcast for a wide-ranging conversation covering everything from a great 2025 spring bear hunt to big mule deer to building a hunting system you can trust when the pressure is on. Jordan starts us off by sharing updates on ranch life in Nebraska, elk management, upcoming mule deer and antelope hunts, and the lessons she's learned from years of western hunting. We discuss scouting familiar country versus exploring new ground, gear innovations that have actually impressed her, and why understanding your equipment may be more important than buying something new. We break down the bear hunt featured on YouTube, including the patience it took to sit for hours before turning up a mature chocolate bear and the rifle system Jordan relied on to make a dang good shot. Along the way, we dive into the idea of "trusting your system," why confidence matters more than constantly changing gear, and how experience helps hunters make better decisions in the field. Whether you're preparing for fall hunts, dialing in your rifle or bow setup, or simply trying to become a more effective western hunter, this episode is packed with practical insights from one of the most experienced hunters in the game.
