Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/5LmqVIcwFM8 Hal and Lee have been Master Maine Guides for a combined 60+ years. That's a lot of time in the woods guiding clients from all over for deer, moose, bear and more, but that's not the least of what the job entails! On this episode Hal and Lee dive into the misconceptions about the lifestyle of a Maine guide and what it really takes to be successful at it, year after year, for decades. These are the best in the business, but do they love it? You be the judge.
Watch this episode on YouTube! https://youtu.be/vQeWMQ_U31E Training for shooting in the Big Woods is a little different than for most other types of hunting. Our shot opportunities are close and fleeting. Success takes an optimization of speed and accuracy that is reminiscent of the 'Combat Accuracy' they teach in the finest shooting schools, military and law enforcement. With that in mind, Hal and Lee are talking training with Ken Campbell, CEO of the world-renowned Gunsite Academy, founded by Col. Jeff Cooper, as well as BWB's own Brad Willey, to share their best advice for capitalizing on that critical shot opportunity.
Legendary Adirondack woodsman Jim Abbott is back on the podcast for a follow-up session full of tales from the backcountry: stories of backcountry rescues, lost trapper huts, local southern Adirondack lore, and a full of hour of buck stories.
