Mike Costello is a Northern California hunter and host of the Hunting Ain't Easy Podcast. He has been instrumental on the front lines of the fight for hunting's future. He has proven experience dealing with legislative issues and communicating with state wildlife agencies, and is willing to share that experience and knowledge to hunters everywhere. In this episode, we discuss his hunting background, some of his favorite hunting tips, bear hunting, deer hunting, and how hunters can better prepare themselves to assist in the fight against the anti-hunting movement.
