Hey what’s happening everybody, welcome back to the HuntBetter Podcast…today we’re hanging out with the one and only Joe Miles of ASIO Gear. Joe has been a great friend of HuntBetter since the very beginning and has always cheered us on, and man he just has a special place in the heart of HuntBetter. 

Joe has done amazing things in the world of hunting and honestly it would take me the entire podcast to tell you all of his accomplishments in the field. But let’s start from a 30k foot view…he’s been a hunting guide in Africa, he’s knocked down some world-class whitetails here in the states…and a few years ago he started a camo empire called ASIO Gear…and I think it’s some of the highest quality hunting apparel out there. Really nice top shelf stuff. 

All that said, Joe Miles is one of those figures within the hunting community that stands to be studied. I really love how his brain works…and you’ll hear this in the podcast today, he likes to keep things very simple…starting almost from a “first principles” approach…basically he likes to build a working perspective from the ground up based on real-life experiences, trial and error, and results…rather than just throwing caution to the wind, and just trusting what everybody else says. That ain’t Joe. And don’t get me wrong, he’s all about learning as much as he can from whoever he can, but he’s also not gonna be quick to over-complicate something just because. And I’m telling you guys, this man’s knowledge of whitetails is through the roof. He understands their behavior, he understands their means of survival, he knows what causes certain reactions in certain whitetails while it may not bother other ones….I mean, the dude just oozes with wisdom and real-life experience.

Lastly, Joe’s one of the nicest guys I’ve met within the hunting community, and honestly whether it’s whitetails or just life in general, he’s always been a friend who’s willing to lend an ear and help however he can, and I’m just super thankful for that. And one thing you’ll notice about Joe from the podcast today is that he’s not afraid to put the work in to get the results he’s looking for. And honestly, that’s a huge understatement. You spend 5 minutes with the guy and you’re like wow, this dude can grind. I think if Joe had a motto, it would be something like, “Do your research. Do the work. Test it. Ask questions. Repeat.” And man, he lives it, day in and day out…and I really do believe that every hunter has something to learn from Joe Miles. And I’m thankful to call him friend. 

So, thanks for being here. We hope you enjoy it. Let’s go ahead and jump into the podcast.
