The conversation turns towards the new Sunday hunting opportunities offered in Pennsylvania and how this will affect Steve's personal hunting as well as guide service. From here we move into the main topic of the episode: a deep dive.What's the deep dive? It's not just the woodsmanship and the deer hunting nuances, it's the spiritual connection felt in Creation.
