The Bovasin Outdoor Chronicles
We promise to bring our passion, expertise, and sense of humor to every episode (but we can't promise we won't get lost or accidentally set our tent on fire... again). Each episode, we share stories from our hunting and fishing escapades, offer our two cents on the current issues, and provide a platform for discussing key topics with local expert guests. Whether you're rushing to fish a stream after work, taking your gun dog out on the weekend, or embarking on your annual hunting trip, you'll find something to connect with, learn, or enjoy along with us. We know that outdoor adventures can be unpredictable, and we've had our fair share of mishaps and embarrassing moments, but we take our responsibility as outdoorsmen seriously and promote responsible outdoor recreation and conservation efforts. We make sure to share our adventure but not our location.
