Summary

This week on Fist Full of Dirt we are visiting with one of the most special men on the planet, John Annoni. He’s the founder of Camp Compass Academy. He’s talking about hunting with kids that would have never had the chance. His story is amazing, from the hood to the woods and how the outdoors set him back on the right track. Mossy Oak has followed along with John for decades and we are proud that he and all of his kids are part of our family.
