Ep 140: Talking with a Fashionably Late Hunter and Conservationist

On this week's episode, Jason is joined by Gary Maerz. Gary grew up in a scouting family and has been fishing since he was 3 years old with his dad. After a respite from the outdoor lifestyle to play high school footfall, attend college, and start a career, he restarted his outdoor lifestyle 6 years ago. During this time, fishing, hunting, and conservation have become a staple of his life. During the conversation, Gary shares his conservation journey, why conservation is such a passion for him, and how being exposed to the outdoors early in life shaped his conservation mindset. He will also fill us in on why he loves volunteering with Backcountry Hunters and Anglers and what his journey has been like for a "fashionably late hunter."
