In this episode of the Adirondack Hunt Podcast, Brian, Mark and Austin sit down outside on a beautiful summer day for a philosophical discussion of the effects of commercialism in the hunting industry. They discuss the best gear for the Big Woods, why Big Woods Bucks promotes the products that it does, and share some interesting stories about why those products are essential. They also get into an interesting discussion of still-hunting and how there are many different styles and techniques you can use on bareground or snow when you're not tracking.
