Welcome to the podcast, Today I am joined by Justin Shaffer who is a total badass and awesome guy who takes full advantage of his opportunities in Alaska as we all live vicariously through him. In this episode, we take a deep dive into all the things you need to know before submitting your application to hunt in Alaska which is due by the 17th. If you are past the deadline when you hear this there is still a ton of useful information for anyone who may be thinking about someday traveling to Alaska to embark on a hunting adventure. While you are listening to this take a second an give Justin a follow on Instagram the dude has done more in the last two years than I will probably do in a lifetime and is by every definition of the word a Badass.
