Welcome to the Peter Panda Podcast. I am your host, Peter G. Panda and this is where I’ll be sharing some of the most wonderful traditions, interesting personalities, and adventurous hunting stories from all the different avenues of my life.
On this episode of the Peter Panda Podcast, we’re pickin’ up where we left off, with my big brother Adam, on his quest to kill a Montana moose. Now if you haven’t listened to ‘Part One’ of this saga, lemme just stop you right here, and turn you back to our previous episode, where Adam shares the start of his journey to the Fall moose rut. This adventure has got it all, from heavy rain that’s wetter than water, to chilling reminders of the local grizzly bears, to ultimately a charging bull moose, crosseyed with love. So listen up, for the exciting conclusion to brother Adam’s Montana Moose hunt.
On this episode of the Peter Panda Podcast, I’m catchin' up with my big brother, Adam. Now, for some unexplainable reason, Lady Luck shined her grace upon this man, yet again last summer when he drew a Montana moose tag. For the record, this is Adam’s second Shiras tag! The first of which he drew in Colorado in 2020. Easy to feel animosity towards a man who’s drawn multiple permits in a few short years that most of us wait a lifetime for, but I will say, he’s always owned up to drawing these special permits and given them the attention and time they deserve. So listen up! for what we’re calling “Part 1” of Brother Adam’s Montana moose adventure, a story still in the making.
On this episode of the Peter Panda Podcast, we’re talking all things waterfowl with my friend, Shane Garner, of SEMO Outfitters. Now, let me just start by admitting that I am no duck hunter. In fact, I can count on both my hands the number of ducks and geese I’ve ever shot. Talking with Shane about his life’s passion was so interesting to me. You’ll have to excuse some of my ignorant, or maybe just elementary level questions, but this is all new to me. What I found was the parallels between us as passionate sportsman we’re countless. From raising hunting dogs, guiding hunters, respecting a resource, and protecting its future, Shane is as authentic of a duck hunter as I’ve ever met. So listen up! And pull them waders on. We’re goin to the Mississippi Fly way with Mr. Shane Garner.
On this episode of the Peter Panda Podcast, I sit down with Canadian Outfitter and veteran Hunting Guide, Chad Miller. With roughly 100-ram kills on his resume, Chad is a real-life, living-legend. Chad’s experience warrants my highest respect. I recently learned more from Chad on a 10-day sheep hunt than I have from my own painful experiences thru the last decade. Chad ain’t got any tattoos, but if he did, it would be a throat tat, dubbed “Been There, Done That”. This guy is so damn cool. So listen up! Canada’s finest bout to show out. I give you, Mr. Chad Miller.
On this episode of the Peter Panda Podcast, we’re going Stone Sheep huntin in the Canadian Rockies with my good friend and the yeti co-founder, Ryan Seiders. Settle in and Saddle up as we recap our recent 10-day adventure deep into sheep country. This hunt had all the highs, lows, challenges, and rewards of a proper sheep hunt. So listen up! We’re about to head back up the mountain to sheep camp with a man who’s currently living with a serious case of sheep fever, Mr. Ryan Seiders.
On this episode of the Peter Panda Podcast, I reconnect with my old friend, and Montana ranch owner, Kameron Kelsey. Located just a few miles outside of Yellowstone National Park, Kameron and his wife own and operate the Nine Quarter Circle Guest Ranch, a world-class, and all-around breathtaking, private withholding deep in the Montana wilderness. Kameron is about as educated and well spoken of young man as you’ll find. He shoulders a long family legacy, and manages unique relationships with multiple federal and state agencies that he calls neighbors. ItIt’s a complex and fascinating existence in some of Montanas most remote and pristine landscapes. So listen up! And Saddle up! We’re riding deep into the world of rural ranching in a modern world with one of the most impressive and capable men I know, Mr. Kameron Kelsey.

S2E12 On this episode of the Peter Panda Podcast, I’m catching up with one of Montana’s own, Brandon Purcell. On this hot summer day, we get to go back in time and cool down a bit as Brandon relives and tells the adventure of our mountain lion hunt last winter. Brandon is a great story teller and an even better hunter. Now we’ve shared more than one campfire together thru all our years of guiding and hunting together in Alaska and Montana, so forgive us for crackin some bad jokes or getting off topic a time or two, but that’s just what happens when grungy dudes like us get to reconnect. So listen up! We’re about to run the hounds and fling some arrows at a monster Montana ditch panther with one of the best hunters I know, Brandon Purcell.
On this episode of the Peter Panda Podcast, we’re climbin back up thru the alders after Alaskan mountain goats with my good friend, Kevin Pearson. Born n raised in Sitka, Alaska, Kevin grew up hunting blacktail deer in the coastal alpine, which quickly evolved into an obsession with hunting the island’s resident mountain goats. Few people’s huntin resumes are built on double-digit goat kills, but Kevin is a rare-breed and shares with us some really incredible hunting adventures, ranging from the jungles of southeast Alaska, to the wild, unlimited-wilderness sheep units of Montana. Kevin is as humble as he is experienced and the stories you’re about to hear are world-class. It’s a special person to embrace solo mountain hunting, Those few who dare into the unknown and willingly subject themselves to raw, and sometimes vicious conditions. It’s a lonely brotherhood only a small number of us can truly understand. So listen up. You’re about hear from a real killer, Kevin Pearson.
On this episode of the Peter Panda Podcast, I sit down with my east-coast homie, Waller Whittemore. Now, let me just get WAY out ahead of this one and tell you right now that Waller’s a recovering drug addict, currently working on his 7th year of sobriety. We’re lucky to have Waller, and this tell-all conversation is proof that he prolly shouldn’t even be even alive today. He’d be the first to tell you that his persistent family and his own raw passions for hunting, fishing, and surfing, all helped save his life. I guess the formal verbiage is “Listener Discretion Advised”, so let's just all stop right here for a second. This prolly ain’t the best episode to listen to with your young kids. Or your elderly parents. I just don’t think that’s a good idea. This episode discusses topics of hard-drug use, addiction, relapsing, and ultimately the continuous and complicated road to recovery. At the end of this episode, Waller encourages anyone listening who’s struggling with, or knows someone struggles with drug addiction, to personally reach out to him for help. And he genuinely means it! I’ll even help hold him to it and make sure all you guys can find links to this kids social. You can find him on IG @wwthittemore71. So listen up. Shits about to get pretty heavy. But fear not, Waller defeated the literal worst of odds and this story has a beautiful ending.
On this episode of the Peter Panda Podcast, we’re spinning wool and talkin all things Merino with, Mike SummerBee of Duckworth, the world's only source-verified, 100% Montana-grown Merino Wool clothing company. Start to finish, Duckworth curates and controls the entire production process of their wool and garments. From their free-ranging herd of Merino sheep in Dillon, MT, to their US textile partners, and ultimately their final branded n tagged merchandise, Duckworth Wool is uniquely living up to their motto, From Sheep to Shelf. So listen up! If you thought wool garments were nothin but old school, itchy sweaters for your Grandpa, you’re about to learn how brands like Duckworth continue to develop and improve this renewable, natural materiel we as humans have been cultivating for over 13,000 years, wool.
