The tradition of hunting started a very long time ago in New England, where the legendary LL Bean came from. It was an outdoors community of hunters and gatherers. Now, Leon Leonwood Bean or “LL” has passed on the hunting gene to his progeny, Bill Gorman. It’s in his DNA, and Bill proudly remembers LL Bean as someone who truly enjoyed the outdoors. In fact, their company is 103 years old thanks to his passions. Bill Gorman emphasizes the visual, the scents that go along with hunting in the early season: leaves are falling and starting to decompose, and you just get that smell… and it just feels right. Bill’s whole life has been about being outdoors and a humane hunter, understanding that we harvest animals. We kill animals. We do that for sustaining ourselves, our lives. It’s the original organic.
