written by staff writer

If you were unable to attend the Western Hunting Summit the weekend of June 29th in Bozeman, Montana, you missed a conglomeration of wisdom and information from some of the best hunters in the west. Led by Ryan and Hillary Lampers (Hunt Harvest Health Podcast) and a number of speakers shared their experiences, skills, and tactics for beginner and experienced hunters alike with a focus on cutting the learning curve by two years. 

Lucky enough for you - Joe Sangimino sat down and created an article for you. As he quotes, “I wish someone had sat me down before I started my personal development as a backcountry hunter to introduce me to some of the topics discussed during the Summit” - and that is exactly what he has done in this incredible article. He covers all the basics you will need to know before starting your own backcountry hunting journey.

Sangimino states: “Right now in the continental United States, the population of hunters has been steadily declining while the population of big game animals have been steadily growing due to improved conservation and game management efforts. There’s millions of acres of public land available for DIY hunters in America - and plenty of room for everyone.” and we want to see you finding your way outside.
