Hunters have existed from the beginning of time. Homo sapiens, tracking and killing their prey as their only means of survival. For us, today, it is a lifestyle of choice, born of passion. On this podcast we will explore who we are as hunters, the reasons we hunt, the thrill of the stalk, and tell the tales of our own experience. We’ll deep dive into the science of the shot, the importance of quality gear, the mindset and methods that make the hunter. Our goal is that you, in the pursuit of our shared passion, will be as prepared and educated as possible before your next adventure. Alaska is our home, and we have been blessed to hunt some of the most sought-after species’ right in our own backyard. Thanks for tuning in, we’re excited to give you a look into our experiences as Northern Hunters!
