Lesson Learned
Cory. Thank you for the lesson learned podcast. Ouch!! I try not to talk about age. However, maturity has its benefits. Another great lessons learned. Randy
Bump and Charge
Listened to the Bump and Charge episode on the drive out west for our elk hunt. Used this tactic during our hunt and called back in a bull for my 63-year old buddy’s 2nd archery elk. Thanks for the advice and sharing great information.
Great advise and entertaining
Really enjoying listening to these guys along with all the great information on being a better hunter.
