On this episode of Michigan WIld Nate and Gideon Montgomery have a great conversation focused on chasing whitetails on public land. Gideon has a great story. He didn't grow up in a hunting family, so he cut his teeth learning how to hunt whitetails on public land in Michigan. He was fortunate enough to have a few mentors that pointed him in the right direction and he has continued to put in the time and effort to get better every fall. Gideon enjoys filling the freezer every year and admits that he has a hard time passing a good doe. 

Along with starting whitetail hunting he also found himself going out west his second season of hunting. There is a parallel to how Gideon hunts today that reflects the early years of western hunting and his desire to always go on an adventure. Public land has never intimidated him and he knows that effort and desire can lead to more success. Strolling into a piece of public he has never hunted and the adventure that waits is what he seeks each fall.
