This week on the Overdrive Outdoors podcast, Kevin welcomes Ryan Mareno to the show. Ryan is from south Louisiana, and operates a guide service called Moreno's Outfitters.

In this episode, we talk about how Ryan grew up in southern Louisiana in the early years,  fishing and water fowl hunting and eventually getting into deer. He tells about how he at first thought deer hunting was boring using a rifle, but then got hooked when he switched to archery.

Ryan tells us about his experiences Spearfishing, going spear fishing around oil rigs in the Gulf, and all the way over to Florida. He talks about the different species that he likes to target, and potential dangers of deep water spearfishing.

We then talk about being a guide,  guiding for alligators, hogs and coyotes.

Ryan talks about taking new hunters unfamiliar with the sport out and considerations for safety and to help the hunter be more successful.

Ryan tells us about taking Aaron Lewis on guided hunts and how, even though he is a celebrity, is a very down to earth person, and is there to enjoy the hunt.

We talk about what gear he prefers for hunting, how he got involved with ATN, and some of his favorite ATN gear for both hunting and law Enforcement applications.

   We also discuss our recent experience at SHOT show,  this being Ryan's first time at this show and what he thought of it, as well as the things of interest that he was able to check out.

As always, THANK YOU for listening.
