Johnny Mack is the creator of Washington Backcountry, where his mission is to mentor those looking to learn the art of hunting.  After going through the struggles of learning to hunt as an adult, Johnny realized his experiences could help others, and thus the website was born.  We discuss Johnny’s background, his personal transition into hunting, and why he built WA Backcountry.
