EP.180 | THE DEER CAN WIN | Hunting in the age of TECHNOLOGY (The Line Has been Crossed) W. Aaron Pasquarette

EP.180 | THE DEER CAN WIN | Hunting in the age of TECHNOLOGY (The Line Has been Crossed) W. Aaron Pasquarette

Welcome back to the BackCountry Pa Podcast On this episode Cody & Tyler chat with Aaron Pasquarette, a Pennsylvania native and avid outdoorsmen who just enjoys getting outdoors and escaping the everyday grind. Aaron also runs the Legendary Pursuits Instagram and YouTube pages. Legendary Pursuit is a Hunting, Fishing and Outdoor video page where they keep it real and embrace the TRUE essence of hunting! (Which we feel a lot of people are getting into Hunting for the wrong reason) With that being said, this episode is not the episode where you're going to learn some new way to scout or hunt or any of those topics that draw a lot of attention now a days. (Yes we love those episode but this is not that) We talk about what is WRONG with the industry and how the line has been drastically crossed over the last couple of years. To go along with that we discuss how A LOT of people are building their whole life/Persona around one big buck they got just to try and get ahead in life and make those MILLIONS (Which is NOT going to happen). We have gotten away from the real reason of Hunting (Including ourselves at times) and if it does not change soon, we may run the risk of loosing it forever! It takes conversations like this one to start the wheels of change & we hope that when you listen to this you can take steps for yourself to help keep this HOBBY, PASSION & COMMUNITY growing in the RIGHT DIRECTION!
