Apex Fireside

This week I share the mic with a buddy of mine who works for Garmin. Garmin makes electronic products for the outdoor industry that make hunting safer and more successful. First we started off talking about getting into upland bird hunting, where we started and how we gained experience. One common question that arises more frequently in todays age is, has technology helped or hurt hunting? We break this down in this weeks podcast, and give examples of how we feel it helps.  

Join us this week as we talk with Matt Wettish, host of Real Outdoors TV, founder of Conquer The Call and outdoor writer, as we talk about hunting whitetail in the early season. Matt is truly a master at hunting deer in the beginning part of the fall, prior to the rut. Sometimes it takes thinking outside of the box and trying new tactics is what it takes to punch a tag on an early season whitetail. Matt shares with us the unbelievable tactics used to kill his largest buck, and many more eye opening experiences!
