HarvestHolliday Podcast

John Mulligan (aka Johnny Utah) joins me today on the show to discuss social media, and how hard work pays off if you're willing to grind it out. You'll realize quick that John has a "no BS" approach to his brand, and that comes through in his work as a photographer and a custom call maker. Longer episode than usual, but it very much packed full of value. @arrowwildt @johnnyutahcreative @bourbonba...

Sweet November is here! Just a quick update on what's been going on in the first month of the whitetail archery season, and finding a "pattern" for big mature bucks.

On todays show I talk with Mark Smith to discuss our first scouting trip into the high country of Colorado. We were only there a short amount of time, but the lessons we learned, may be just what we need to fill a tag on a bull elk.
