As the sun peeks over the horizon and dew glistens on the underbrush, I can't help but recall the time I first shouldered a rifle, the weight of tradition heavy on my young shoulders. Today, we're not just tracing the path of bullets and arrows; we're walking down memory lane with seasoned hunter Bryan Speller. His tales take us from the moment he took aim at his first squirrel to the heart-pounding chase of elk in the dense Washington forests. Alongside Bryan, we explore the impact of his military background on his hunting strategy and how the soft whisper of a fly line has become as familiar as the crack of a rifle.
