This podcast I’m joined by my friend Jody Peck for a chat about the hunting guide outfitting industry.  Jody grew up in commercial hunting camps cooking, guiding and hanging out in the wilderness.  She still cooks for the industry during the hunting season, but spends her offseason as a successful artist working on cool projects.  Jody brings a unique perspective on the guide outfitting industry, new hunters, and life as an artist in the city of Vancouver.
