Summary

On this episode, I’m joined by a legend in the whitetail community, Jim Hole Jr. who put the Bow Zone in Alberta on the map in the 1990’s for giant, world class whitetails. Jim is the owner of Classic Outfitters, and is known for his disciplined program that is the formula for getting opportunities at experienced whitetails in this region of the world. His experience and time spent guiding clients over the past 35 years has taught me some quality lessons as it pertains to hunting and life.   Topics: Alberta Hunt Recap My finish to the Pennsylvania archery season Introduction to Jim and Classic Outfitters The Bow Zone Importance of silence Discipline in being efficient Following “The Program” to kill big whitetails Hunters vs. Archers Learn to respond, rather than react Testing and developing new gear  Resources Instagram: @eastmeetswesthunt                  @beau.martonik Facebook: East Meets West Outdoors www.classic-outfitters.com https://vimeo.com/77429886 www.sitkagear.com Learn more about your ad choices.
