Josh Kirchner is a writer and a lifelong hunter. He cut his teeth hunting the diverse landscapes of Arizona, and has since hunted all over the American West. After writing articles for multiple publications and a blog about his hunting experiences, he made the call to write a book to help reduce the learning curve for new backpack hunters. His book, Becoming A Backpack Hunter, breaks down everything from gear selection to packing out meat, and you had best do yourself a favor and get you a copy! In this episode, we talk about how Josh developed the familiar passion for hunting that many of us share. We discuss his book and what readers will get out of it. We share some stories and hunting strategy too! Let us know what you think and if you like what you hear, please write us a review on Apple Podcasts or Podbean! Buy Josh's book here.
