As hunters move forward with new equipment, technologies, opportunities, and challenges, it is helpful to look back. As we think about our hunting today, it is helpful to think about the hunting opportunities of tomorrow, and for the next generation. These ideas are just some of the underlying current to our conversation with our guest on this episode, Matt Starley of Rogue Wild Productions (https://www.instagram.com/roguewild/).
We talk about having 3-generations on the same hunt, the value of documenting hunts, Matt's transition to traditional archery, some of the challenges and changes in hunting opportunities, and much more.
