Ep. 171 | This Birding Enthusiast is Now a Hardcore Shooting Fanatic - Mike McDowell

Mike McDowell, Vortex’s in-house expert for everything birds, bugs and binos, takes us through his journey into firearms, shooting and the “friends” he lost because of it along the way. Any time we chat with Mike, we can’t help but dive into super cool bird stuff. We inevitably do that, tell the story of the famed “Golden Crowned Sparrow Conspiracy” and his “involvement”, as well as cover his new-found passion for guns, shooting and how it affected his reputation in certain circles…It just made you even cooler in our book...Every time we chat with Mike McDowell, it’s a darn good time, and this podcast was no exception.

As always, we want to hear your feedback! Let us know if there are any topics you'd like covered on the Vortex Nation™ podcast by asking us on Instagram @vortexnationpodcast
