Ep. 12 Forgotten Game Species

Brandon and I love deer hunting more than any other outdoor activity, but not by a big enough margin to make the other species we hunt obsolete. Although small game species often take a back seat to the more popular species such as deer, turkeys, waterfowl, and upland birds, they are often the first species most hunters get their earliest hunting experiences with, and they also kickoff the fall hunting season in most states. Brandon and I look to pay homage to these forgotten game species as we talk about tactics, tales and ambitions for the upcoming small game seasons. Tune in and pick up a lot of great hunting tips while helping us celebrate the forgotten game of North America!
