The Welcome to the deer hunter podcast, a platform created to entertain, educate, and evolve the modern day deer hunter.

Yeah.

All right, here we go.

Welcome in everyone to this week's edition of the Deer Hunter podcast.

Let's get the date right this week because we got it wrong last week.

That was embarrassing.

Friday, February 3rd, and you are in the studio for a special guest this weekend an exciting episode

and a longer format conversation than I've had in quite some time I'm joined today by my friend

matt Ronella Matt stirred the hunting industry up pretty thoroughly here a year or so back when he wrote an article.

Well, let me just read it verbatim.

I have it here.

The Caste Against Hunter Recruitment.

So Matt's been working on a project called Hunt Quietly, and I've been paying attention to it from a

distance. And he started a podcast, and I started listening to it. And I thought, you know, a lot of

this is truthful and really makes sense. And I'm guilty as anybody in participating in this. So, listen,

I'm going to say this right off the get. I do not. Some of this might

come off preachy because I'm passionate about this a whole lot. And I want to reiterate right off the front

that I'm guilty of some of these things as well. And I'm just trying to sort things out and figure out my path and figure out how I use my time in this space to provide the most value to the community and to the future of the activity for my children and your children and our grandchildren.

To be honest with you, I think we have a battle on our hands.

And so this was a deep conversation and we got into quite a bit here.

I'll say, I want to say this right off the get to.

We just shoot the shit, chew the fat for about the first 45 minutes.
