Send us Fan MailWhen Matt, a dyed-in-the-wool hunter with the unexpected twist of being a funeral director, joins me, your anticipation for bear archery tales will be richly rewarded. His transition from the distanced precision of long-range shooting to the heart-pounding proximity of bow hunting comes with stories that promise to keep you on the edge of your seat. Not only does Matt's improved scent control bring humor to the pursuit, but his expertise in reloading ammunition makes the technical side of hunting as compelling as the chase.Venture with us through the complex terrain of deer management, where the art of growing big bucks is both a science and a passion. The strategy behind each harvest decision reveals a keen awareness of the environment and a dedication to conservation. And when it's time to switch gears to filming hunts, you'll find yourself weighing the challenge of capturing the moment versus living it—a juggling act known all too well by any family that hunts together. Matt's personal anecdotes remind us that what's captured on camera can be as unforgettable as the experience itself.Conclude your listening adventure with a foray into the dense New Brunswick woods, where bear baiting is an exercise in patience and precision. Matt's vivid recounting of bait tactics, wind management, and the thrill of an elusive quarry will transport you right to the stand. And as the discussion turns to the plans for preserving the memory of a successful hunt through taxidermy, it's clear this isn't just a pastime; it's a profound connection to the wild that both Matt and I cherish deeply.Check us out on Facebook  Hunts On Outfitting, or myself Ken Marr.
