FROM THE VAULT: In this week’s episode of The Range Podcast, Ricky and Hollywood talk with Nate Axtman, a sales rep for Proactive Midwest, a sales rep group focused on popular brands in the shooting sports world. 

Nate starts with his introduction to hunting as a young man with upland game alongside his family. He started shooting an old recurve bow that his dad owned, which led him to a job at the local Scheel’s sporting goods store in Grand Forks, ND.

Nate is also known as “Snack Boy”. Hollywood begs the question, and Nate reveals the secret to winning the hearts of all the folks around him. 

Ricky talks about an upcoming Mule Deer hunt that he and Nate will be partnered up for this upcoming fall. This hunt has been in the making for many years, and the guys briefly discuss the plan and the excitement quickly setting in as the day nears. 

Nate then tells a story of struggle, focus, and perseverance that accompanies a recent Pronghorn Antelope Bowhunt. Camping out in a ground blind for 3 days in 90-degree heat, may have led to a bonfire fueled by the sleeping bag and clothing involved.

Let's take a trip back to when Ricky and Hollywood caught up with Jason a few weeks after returning from an adventure in Patagonia, bowhunting for Red Stag. Jason gives the scoop on the complexities of the travel and planning for a trip of that caliber. A rollercoaster of emotions immediately took hold as his bow didn’t show up in Buenos Aires, amongst the chaos of navigating through the city of 13 million, to the final destination outside of San Martin. Fortunately, the story unfolds with success, and a great memory made that won’t soon be forgotten.
