Deer hunting is the most common thread in the fabric of American hunting culture, and once you've had a good taste of it, it's easy to see why that is. But just as all other enjoyable pursuits have become commercialized so has deer hunting. So much so that sometimes it's simplest components that make it such a great part of the human experience are lost within the market driven perspectives, products, and trends. My good friend Doug Duren joined me to discuss this reality, and provide his insight on the issue.
Topics Include
-Historical view of Deer Hunting
-CWD
-Behind the scenes information from Meateater
-Sharing The Land
-Hunting Access
-Conservation

In this episode Kent and Alex interview Jeremy Dinsmore of the Antler Up Podcast to dig into the strategy of saddle hunting. Saddle hunting is the most ultralight method of mobile hunting, but the learning curve seems to be a barrier for many hunters. Jeremy breaks down the how and why of saddle hunting and by the end of listening I think you will feel ready to give it a try. I know I do.
