#20 Preston McKelvey

Preston McKelvey is a co-owner of Wild Willow Outfitters, a hunting and fishing guide service offering excursions in the Roaring Fork Valley and throughout Western Colorado. This conversation was recorded following an early morning duck hunt with Preston and his young Yellow Lab, Oak. We recounted our morning and discussed Wild Willow’s guided trips, sharing the landscape with predators, hunting with dogs, increased outdoor recreation on public lands, and some of the conservation aspects of hunting. I had a great time talking to Preston, and I look forward to doing more of these in-person interviews when possible.
