Summary

We are back with a new "Before & After the Hunt" podcast series for 2023, featuring hunters just like YOU... listeners of the podcast. Throughout this series, we will be speaking with everyday hunters as they plan and prepare for a specific hunt this fall, and then we will have a follow-up episode after their hunt to hear about how the hunt unfolded, the lessons they learned, and more. In today's episode we speak with Zak, who is an adult-onset hunter from the east coast that is headed to Montana for a deer and elk combination hunt in Montana this fall. We discuss Zak's planning process for this hunt, how his family is helping him in this journey, the questions he has for us, his new 7mm PRC, and much more.

adult onset hunter from the east, and he's going with some family and they're
