Summary
Join Rich Froning and the Mayhem Hunt crew, on In Pursuit, as they break down what it looks like to bring your family into the hunting lifestyle and why it matters more than the hunt itself.
From getting kids involved early to balancing time away, this episode covers how to make the outdoors something your family actually enjoys. The guys share real moments—from missed shots to backyard campouts—and practical ways to make it fun, not forced. They also touch on the upcoming Mayhem Hunt Camp and why it’s built for anyone looking to get started the right way.
At the end of the day, it’s not just about the hunt, it’s about investing in your family and becoming better because of it.
