Fuel The Passion: The Start Of A Hunter’s Legacy With Mitchell Fox (Iowa)
There’s no shortage of hunting podcasts out there. But if you ask Mitchell Fox, most of them miss one thing: the stories of everyday hunters. Not the TV personalities or the names filling expo halls. Just the real people—working full time, raising families, carving out time for the woods when they can. With that, A Hunter’s Legacy was born. Episode one kicks things off not with a guest, but with Mitchell himself—sharing his vision, his roots, and a few unforgettable stories.
Where It All Started
Mitchell grew up in flat, wind-whipped North Central Iowa. It’s not the giant buck capital most outsiders think of when they hear “Iowa,” but it’s home. Hunting there means facing open river bottoms, small timber lots, and deer that are gone before you ever reach your stand. But that’s what taught him persistence—and where his obsession with the chase was born.
A Career Built in the Field
After graduating from Iowa State, Mitchell started in the seed industry before jumping into ag tech. Roles with Climate FieldView and now Traction Ag helped him understand data, user feedback, and how real people actually use software. That experience laid the foundation for LogIQ Hunt, a hunting app he launched in 2024. It’s built the same way he learned in ag tech: start with something useful, then evolve it with real user feedback.
Bowhunting Beginnings
Mitchell’s early hunting days weren’t about food plots or scent control—they were about shotgun party hunts, climbing makeshift tree stands, and listening to CB radios from the house when he was too young to join in. But the turning point came as a teenager, with a borrowed bow and a DIY treestand setup courtesy of his dad. No formal training, no mentors—just trial and error, and a deep, growing love for bowhunting.
Failures, Firsts, and Freezing Tree Stands
Everyone has an origin story. For Mitchell, it was a snowy November day in high school, sneaking off in a tractor to bowhunt alone. A long line of deer walked single file past him—ending with the biggest buck he’d ever seen. He missed. But that moment, the closeness, the silence, the adrenaline—that’s when he knew he was hooked.
Why the Podcast?
This podcast isn’t about expert tips or trophy walls. It’s about memories, tradition, and the hunts that made us who we are. Mitchell wants to bring on folks like himself—people who get five or six hunts a year, who miss more than they hit, but who love it anyway. Because in the end, it’s not about being the best. It’s about being part of something bigger.
The Funniest Stories Stick
From launching arrows into the side of a grain bin, to losing every broadhead-tipped arrow across a cut bean field, Mitchell’s got his fair share of screwups. But they’re also the memories he laughs hardest at. And those are the moments he hopes to draw out of his guests, too—the ones that make you shake your head and grin years later.
What Comes Next
A Hunter’s Legacy isn’t just a podcast—it’s a conversation. A space for stories, reflection, and connection. As Mitchell lines up guests—friends, neighbors, hunters you’ve never heard of—he’s building something more than a media channel. He’s building a place where every average Joe in camo has a voice.
So if you’ve got a story to share, or if you just want to hear from folks who hunt like you do, stick around. This is only the beginning.
