Joe Wickemeyer and Tony Vizcarra are both awesome everyday guys that have grown to love archery and bowhunting.

He and I met in a remote camp once and teamed up to double down on two velvet whitetails. We both looked so different that it was a shock seeing him at the Total Archery Challenge events last year.

PC 322 - Making Hunting Easier & Better For All!

This is the missing link! We've discovered how to make hunting easier and better for all! On this podcast, I throw on the headsets with Nic De Castro of @LandTrust_Hunt and John Barklow of @SitkaGear at the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Mountain Fest in Park City, Utah. We talk about the critical components of ACCESS & ETIQUETTE. With the increasing challenges of public land hunting, Nic introduces a  new, really awesome service that allows private land hunting access to the general public. We also discuss hunting etiquette and the importance of all hunters doing their part in learning, teaching and embracing proper hunting etiquette and woodsmanship. This is a power-packed hour loaded with valuable information for all hunters! Now available wherever you listen to your podcasts!
 
John Barklow has developed clothing & equipment systems for the military & hunting industries and is a leader at Sitka. He has also taught the skills & mindset required to live in remote wilderness, trained Search & Rescue teams and Special Operations units how to thrive in dynamic mountain environments and educates constantly on his Knowledge From Storms platform. 
 
Nic De Castro is a visionary with a very unique new way for hunters to access new lands for hunting. Barklow and I see this as a critical link between new hunters and the ability to access land and build relationships as stewards of the lands we hunt.
