The Dark Side of Hunting: Choose Your Outfitter Carefully!
Show Notes

For some of us, going on a guided or outfitted hunt is the dream of a lifetime. For us southern hunters, getting an opportunity like that in mid-west states is what we live for. On this episode of the SG+T podcast, the boys are joined by friends Nate and Jason, who recently went to Kentucky for their own dream hunt, a self guided hunt on KY private land. They worked with an "outfitter" to gain access to private farms, however things did not go as expected. After almost a year of planning, red flags started to pop up in conversations with the outfitter, and as the trip was ready to begin, it was clear something wasn't right. But with vacation time already scheduled and deposits made, Nate and Jason take the drive with intentions of making the best out of any opportunity they have. 

Once in Kentucky however, this story really takes a turn. From trespassing, to bad checks, the boys found themselves in the middle of a scam, and soon realize they aren't alone. This conversation will cover the pitfalls that Jason and Nate ran into with their impostor outfitter, and how the hunting community stepped up to help and seek justice. This is a wild story and one you'll definitely want to tune into!
