Brian Barney is a bowhunter & fly fisherman from Montana. He always wanted to live in the mountains, so after high school, he did just that. Now, he chases his passion of archery hunting big game. He prepares himself physically AND more importantly, mentally for his hunts. His game is spot and stalk. Which requires stealth, along with the mental fortitude to slow himself down to accomplish his task at hand.

Oh, and did I mention that he's a staff writer for Eastmans Bowhunting journal. And has a podcast is called Eastmans Elevated. He's a passionate guy. You'll hear it throughout our talk. Enjoy!

In this episode I am speaking with Amy Hall. She's a mom, a wife, and now a hunter and a gatherer. She wasn't always like that. Just a few short years ago, when Amy was in her early 30s, she decided she was going to learn how to hunt. And that she did. On her own, through trial and error, she's learned how to hunt. She's even taken it all the way. Not only hunting but also being involved in the entire process from the harvest to the kitchen table. You may not like something. But, you cannot say you don't like it if you do not try it. She tried. She liked it. And now she's an inspiration for other women who hunt. Which she shares on her podcast called Her Wild Outdoors. Enjoy!

One thing Mike continues to do is educate himself on the industry. He isn't closed minded to new ideas. And, thats part of the reason he's one of the best. Enjoy!
