Summary
Mike Duplan is a retired 30 year career firefighter/paramedic who lives outside of Ridgway, Colorado with his wife Shellie in the shadow of the San Jaun Mountain Range. Mike is also a highly accomplished hunter, author, wildlife photographer and provides some thought provoking insight into the future of hunting and harvesting your own meat. Reflections between Mike and Doc on their paths of service after leaving the town they grew up in together are part of the conversation that is just an introduction to future podcasts that will probably ensue as a result of this reunion of friendship. You can see more of Mike Duplan on instagram @mikeduplan and see an impressive collection of photographs of wildlife, adventure, hunting and life.
