Summary

Mark Kenyon of Wired to Hunt joins Jimmy and Mark remotely from camp to discuss the history behind starting Wired to hunt, what led him to want to quit his “Regular” job and make podcasting and journaling a full-time gig, and why he loves hunting whitetails so much. Wired to Hunt is undoubtedly one of the longest standing and most popular hunting podcasts in the industry and the fact that it was started by a regular guy with a passion for the outdoors and a hard work ethic makes for an even more incredible and oddly relatable story! As always, we want to hear your feedback! Let us know if there are any topics you'd like covered on the Vortex Nation™ podcast by asking us on Instagram @vortexnationpodcast
