I'm Remy Warren and I've lived my life in the wild.

As a professional guide and hunter, I've spent thousands of days perfecting my craft.

I want to give that knowledge to you.

In this podcast, we relive some of my past adventures as I give you practical hunting tips to make you more successful.

Whether you're just getting started or a lifelong hunter, this podcast will bring you along on the hunt and teach you how to live wild.

This podcast is brought to you by Mountain Tough and Yeti.

A lot of the tactics I talk about here require you to be in top physical shape.

So I partnered with Mountain Tough to help get you ready for the mountain.

With their science-based hunter-specific training app, you'll get in shape and mentally tough,

able to tackle any hunt.

Because we really believe this will help you be more successful, as a listener to this podcast,

we're giving

you six free weeks to get you started. Just use code live wild. Welcome back to the live wild

By looking at what to look for and when you keep finding yourself on that unsuccessful side of the draw,

maybe some strategies to implement to get into those tags and not chase that point creep.
