In this episode we were honored to have a conversation with Chelsee Dery. Chelsee's love and obsession for wildlife and the hunting heritage became very apparent in the first few minutes of our conversation. Her drive to be a life long learner has enabled her to pursue a multitude of outdoor experiences such as archery and elk calling, long range shooting, photography and film, and most recently making primitive clothing. Her dedication to her passion is unrivaled. The quote from Theodore Roosevelt " Speak softly and carry a big stick" fits Chelsee to a tee. Thank yo so much Chelsee for sitting down with us!
