Elevate the Hunt

Elevate Your Hunting. Ethics٠Culture٠Conservation This isn't an ordinary podcast on hunting. Conversations here center on the peripherals of hunting. If you've thought about the "why" behind your hunting, this is for you. Hunting is a lifestyle and lifelong pursuit that best responds to the attitude of a lifelong learner. We are all still climbing the mountain, trying to elevate our hunting. Hosted by Everett Headley, an outdoor educator who grew up hunting and fishing in Montana.
