On this episode, Adam is joined by James Nash, a retired Marine, outfitter, hunting and fly-fishing guide, and fifth generation rancher. Adam and James dig into a slew of topics including, his time in the Marine Corps, what it was like returning to the ranch after going to war, how women are often misrepresented in the hunting and fishing communities, predator hunting, and more than a few tangents related to all these topics and more. This one is pure straight talk from a salt of the earth dude. @6ranchoutfitters www.6ranchoutfitters.com

This as close to breaking news as you’re going to get in our world! On this show, Adam and Nolan catch-up within hours of Nolan’s return from the North Coast mountains where he was, yet again, chasing long-haired billies. This was a very different trip than the hunt profiled in last year’s Toeing the Line film and a good example of just how variable mountain goat hunting can be. To say Nolan’s had a good couple of years would be one hell of an understatement… @nmo @nicktrehearne @athletes_hunt

Overall, this guy is one of the most passionate hunters and writers you’ll ever have the good fortune of spending time with.
