Brian and Abbey sit down around a bonfire at their Back 40 farm to talk about Abbey's first western hunt, what it’s like preparing for out-of-state hunts, and the difference between hunting from your backyard stand versus hitting the road for a big trip. The two share stories from past hunts, discuss how they’re preparing for a Colorado mule deer hunt this fall, and break down the added pressure that comes with limited time and long-distance hunting.
