Ryan sits down with entrepreneur and charter captain Anthony Williams for a wide-ranging conversation that runs from marlin on blue water to bulls on steep ridges. Anthony shares how growing up in rural North Carolina shaped his outdoor grit, why marlin fishing feels like hunting, and how a brutal first day in elk country rewired his training. He breaks down a simple but savage prep plan (hill repeats on a bike + max-incline treadmill “climb the mountain”), talks bow vs. rifle strategy when learning a new place, and opens up about access, public lands, and representation in hunting.

We also preview Anthony’s stacked season: Roosevelt elk in Oregon, Alaska fishing + Yukon moose off a gravel bar, New Mexico elk (Unit 5B), Ohio whitetail redemption, and a Marlin bender in Mag Bay.

Anthony’s closing mantra is classic: “Get your ass up and do it.” Don’t wait.

Key Takeaways:

Train like the mountain: Crush hills on a bike, coast to let lactate build, then repeat; add max-incline treadmill “mountain climbs” for real-deal elevation legs.

Bow vs. rifle with intent: Use a rifle to learn brand-new country; return with a bow once you understand terrain, animals, and access.

Public lands matter: Access is opportunity, especially for newcomers and underrepresented hunters. Stay vigilant about policies that threaten it.

Alaska is calling: OTC opportunities won’t last forever, if it’s on your list and you have the skills, go sooner than later.

Bias toward action: Life’s short... stop waiting for “perfect timing.” Plan, prepare, and go.
