I came across Tate on an Instagram reel in which he was explaining why he thinks hunters spend way too much money on wasted gear items, leaving them often without the critical tags to use it. I couldn't agree more. We discuss this topic in detail. Quit wasting money on gear that you probably don't need. Experience comes from having tags, time in the field, encounters with animals, and sometimes, hardship from subpar gear while you build your gear list up over the years. It's a great discussion, I really enjoyed getting to know Tate and his learning about his in-person elk courses he puts on. Check out his Instagram below and don't miss this episode! Enjoy!
