Nick and I spend a bit of time having a discussion about a recent Facebook post that got our attention. The post we are talking about asked the question: "would our great grandfathers would be proud of the pursuit of trophy whitetails by hunters today?". There was a good bit more about that post to unpack and Nick and I just had a conversation much like we would have done had we been sitting around a campfire. Nothing we say here was meant to be an attack on the individual that made the post, we do understand the point the person was trying to make, it was simply the thoughts that we had come to mind that found their way into our conversation and we recorded an episode while sharing those thoughts. We hope you enjoy and would love to hear your own thoughts on this topic. [...] The post Proud Ancestors appeared first on Traditional Outdoors.
