Summary

Brian Rhead is sort of a legend in my mind.  He's a blue collar lineman by day, he hustles on the side as a taxidermist, and he's hunted around the world.  He guides in Alaska and Mexico, and he's the only guy I know that is not a millionaire that has the wild sheep Grand Slam.  He did it in 3 years on a blue collar budget.  He traded his time for guiding, taxidermy, and had some luck, but in 3 years time he did the unthinkable and harvested all 4 wild sheep - Rocky, Stone, Dall and Desert. We brought him on to talk about his elk hunting prowess, how he's harvested 30 bulls with a bow, how he competed professionally at archery, and how he manages hunting around the world while having a wife and three kids with a blue collar salary.  Brian is pure gold, he's extremely humble, and a stone cold killer.  I hope you enjoy listening to some of his crazy stories on this episode.   ELKSHAPE PARTNERS: ELK 101 UNIVERSITY OF ELK HUNTING | DISCOUNT CODE ELKSHAPE FOR 20% OFF KENETREK EXO HOYT ARCHERY ONXMAPS SITKA GEAR VORTEX OPTICS EASTON ARCHERY ELKSHAPE YOUTUBE EBOOK PHELPS GAME CALLS BOHNING OFF GRID FOOD CO FNX SUPPLEMENTS PODIUM STRINGS   Learn more about your ad choices.
