On this episode of Gritty Bowmen we are back in Tamarack Idaho for the annual NW Mountain Challenge Archery Shoot and we talk to Ty Stubblefield and Josh Keller of Born and Raised Outdoors. We discuss Ty's new role with BackCountry Hunters & Anglers as Chapter Coordinator and the importance of conservation, the threat against our hunting lifestyle and how we can join the fight to preserve our traditions, values and way of life. If you're not familiar with Born and Raised Outdoors you should take some time to get to know these boys through their films which are some of the most real, honest and entertain elk hunting films I've seen.

I really hope you enjoy this podcast because it's important—the opposition facing hunters today is very real—and Ty Stubblefield is one of those people who is on the front-lines battling to keep our public lands public. As you listen to today's podcast, please consider what you're doing to make a difference in preserving the way of life you believe in.

I am Brian Call and I'm your host. My fellow Gritty Bowmen, Anthony Spencer is my co-host. SHOW NOTES: Featured in this Podcast:
