    I’m done for January and I’m here with Creed to chat about deer hunting. The time between the holidays and hunting goes by so fast.

    Hunters always the Villain Never the Hero 10.28The Problem: There was a time when hunters were revered as providers, adventures and even heroes. A societal shift has transformed the perception of the hunter/provider into an un-educated, reckless, blood thirsty animal hater. As a result hunters and hunting became recluse and stepped into the background, not because we were ashamed but because we did not want to offend the non-hunting public” the middle ground”. I remember when I took hunter safet

     Lessons Learned – Personal Experience Beats All with Shannon Mobbs Show Notes:There’s a lot of information out there when it comes to hunting. Between YouTube, podcasts, books, and social media, there are a lot of so-called experts pushing their “conventional wisdom” and hunting tips.
