Join us as we dive into the heart of hunting culture in the Empire State, swapping stories of early morning turkey hunts, the thrill of the chase, and the deep respect we hold for the land and the game we pursue that transcends oceans.

We’ll sit down with our latest guest Megan Plete-Postol and her hand in shaping the future of hunting and conservation. From her efforts with the National Deer Association as their NE Regional Director, to preserve whitetail habitats to the inspiring work of Artemis Sportswomen and her recent success in becoming a licensed NY State Guide and as a writer for Outdoor News, we explore how women are leading the charge in protecting  outdoor traditions.
