Hey everyone, welcome to the Wired-to-Hunt Foundations Podcast, which is brought to you by First Light, I'm your host, Tony Peterson.

And today's episode is all about dealing with insects while you hunt.

This is a weird one, but you gotta bear with me.

The truth about what we do, whether that's, I don't know, thinking solely about Whitetails 24-7,

or turkey hunting, or antelope hunting, or whatever, is that there are a lot of elements to any hunt,

like maybe showing you a video of a snake staring into your little mouse cage all of a sudden.

Also, introduced into this situation is a cherry blossom, a sweet smelling, entirely totally innocent cherry blossom.
