Today's podcast is LIVE from Ryan Lampers' Western Hunting Summit.  This lecture excerpt is centered around identifying the areas at which you do not excel in when it comes to hunting.  Maybe it is animal behavior, land navigation, woodsman-ship, physical or mental preparedness.  This comes as a good reminder to work on your weaknesses not your strengths.
