Guys this is a republish, I spoke with Tate'r a couple days ago and it made me revisit this episode. Definitely worthy in my opinion. Enjoy the episode for the first time or the 2nd.

Tate is every bit of what we should all strive to be and not much more needs to be said. We get into bowhunting whitetail, what the outdoors and his faith have done for him and being an inspiration and service to others.

I sat down with Rodger Holscher for some good laughs and admissions of gear junkie guilt. We get into gear obsession, running, testing, dumping and when it works it works. From rifles to bows, reloading and arrow builds, boots and packs he runs it with performance for his pursuit in mind and what I find to be an A+ quality is his unbiased and honest take on the subjectivity of gear.
