Close Range Hunter

It’s about THE HUNT! There’s no substitute for experience, so listen up as we share what we and our guests have accumulated through lives filled with adventures and sometimes misadventures! We want to share our passion and experience in the backcountry to motivate and educate our listeners to become confident, skilled and ethical outdoors people. We cover the full range of the hunting experience including: backcountry skills, hunting methods, gear, wildlife biology, conservation, fair chase, hunting ethics, and current issues. Through discussions, Q&A, stories, and interviews with experts in a range of backcountry pursuits our goal is to entertain the listener while providing valuable information gained by years of experience to help you become a more confident and successful outdoors person.
