You know, there’s so much effort and focus and buzz surrounding the rut. For me, I think one of the most interesting things I’ve learned and I can probably attribute this to some friends in Saskatche…

Well, I would say to them welcome aboard and don’t give up and don’t stop trying. And basically I think what your listener could do who want to join the hunting industry is you really need to develop…

Bloodline is in everybody’s vocabulary, everybody has a bloodline. If you come from a line of deer hunters, archery hunters, gun hunters, whatever it may be, it’s in your bloodline. Think about it. W…

I would have to agree with you on that, Bruce. It is the backbone probably of hunting here in the United States. I mean, the elk are phenomenal animals. The mule deer, the antelope, the turkeys, the …

I would say just get out there, and check it out, and see how you feel when you get outside because there’s a lot of people who, at first they might be intimidated by it or feel uncomfortable because…

Well, we’re actually on a featured, one of the small groups that are featured on a show called The Search. It’s on the Pursuit Channel through either Dish or DirectTV, and it’s eight teams vying for …

Leah: Yeah. So, my dad is a teacher, and his student got something called “Hunt of a Lifetime.” It’s kind of like Make a Wish, but for people who love hunting. So I got chosen for a Hunt of a Lifetim…
