Midwest Roots and Backcountry Miles With Lexi Quinn (Michigan)
Description
She’s lived in eight states, fought wildfires in the Rockies, and worked inside some of hunting’s biggest companies. In this episode, Lexi sits down with Mitchell to talk about the long road from wildland firefighting to bowhunting, burnout, and rediscovering purpose beyond the industry grind.
From the back of a fire buggy to the marketing offices of Huntwise and Bowtech, Lexi’s story peels back the curtain on the hunting world—the corporate buyouts, the influencer culture, and the real people getting lost in the mix. She’s seen the good and the ugly, and she isn’t afraid to tell the truth about both.
But this isn’t just a story about walking away. It’s about getting back to what matters: soil, health, and legacy. Lexi shares how years on the road, long seasons away from home, and a growing disillusionment with consumerism pushed her toward regenerative agriculture and holistic living—where the goal isn’t more, it’s meaningful.
From Colorado elk hunts to Michigan whitetails, she’s learned that sometimes stepping away from the chase is the only way to find what you were really hunting for all along.
