As we further our mission to put an end to hunter and buck/deer shaming, we are finding more ways to become the change we seek to make within the hunting community. Recently came across an article titled "Is Our Trophy Obsession Killing Whitetail Hunting?" written by Tony Peterson. We thought Tony would have a lot of value and experience to bring to the conversation as it relates to our mission to help us improve and strengthen our stance when it comes to ending deer/hunter shaming. Tony shares his origin story about how he came to work in the hunting industry and how the article he wrote was a long time coming. From there, Tony and Eric can't help themselves as they dive into some whitetail tactics towards the tail end of the episode!
