Episode 63 Backcountry Mentorship with Johnny Mack
Johnny Mack is the creator of https://wabackcountry.com/ where his mission is to mentor those looking to learn the art of hunting. After going through the struggles of learning to hunt as an adult, Johnny realized his experiences could help others and thus the website was born.
Johnny is no doubt passionate about helping people hunt and because he comes from the coaching and teaching world, he’s naturally created a platform to reach others who need a hand. On this episode, we discuss Johnny’s background, his personal transition into hunting, and why he built WA Backcountry.
