Wisconsin, in mere hours, it is going to be early goose and Teal duck season. Joel is quick to remind us however, that the hunting season has actually already begun- because SO much of hunting happens before you pull the trigger. It starts with building relationships with land owners and conservationists, scouting locations for future hunts, and obtaining gear and learning how to use it. All things that Producer Jess is now learning, as she prepares for her first ever hunt. With Joel and Danielle's help, Jess now has her first hunting tag (fall turkey) and is preparing- mentally and physically- for this new experience.

Well, thank goodness we had a friend from First Hunt Foundation, Share the HERitage, Ellie Lawton-Smoller on to talk through some pre-hunt concerns! Also joining us today, hunting entrepreneur Jonny Baumann, creator of Tagged and Bagged, a specialized bagging system that protects hunted specimens for taxidermy.
