In this episode of the HUNTR Podcast, we're joined by Eric Chesser, co-founder of Hush, one of the most influential brands in the western hunting space. Eric shares the story of how a passion for documenting hunts grew into one of the most recognizable media brands in hunting. Along the way, we discuss Utah's unique hunting opportunities, elk and mule deer strategies, public land access, and the differences between hunting in the West and the Midwest. We also explore the evolution of the outdoor industry, building an authentic community, creating meaningful brand partnerships, and what the future of hunting media looks like. Thanks for tuning in, and we'll catch you next week. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
