Welcome back to the Backcountry Pa Podcast | The Hunting Process

On this episode I sit down with the owner of Spartan Forge, Bill Thompson. We talk about what hunting means to us and why bow hunting means so much more then just harvesting an animal.

After that we dive into Spartan forge, as I primarily use OnX and have only used Spartan Forge three times. I really wanted to talk about all the TOOLS that Spartan Forge offers and how to use some of them.

We also talk about how Spartan forge is giving back to the ones that put their lives on the line so that we can go out and chase after these wild animals in wild places.

I now used both OnX and Spartan Forge, each has their own benefits!Thank you for listening and Watching! I hope you have a good week!
