Many people take a break from hunting throughout their lives for one reason or another. For some, eventually something sparks the interest to get back into it. That was the case with one of my best friends from high school, Connor Pickens and his buddy Jim. They both joined the Army in 2013, and with their busy schedules their time in the woods took a backseat. Recently, both Connor and Jim started hunting again after long breaks. In this episode, we talk about how they got into hunting, the challenges they faced trying to hunt while serving in the military, and how they ultimately decided to take the leap back into hunting. Whether you are in a similar position to them as an active duty military member, or someone who is just getting started hunting this podcast is for you!
