Make It Happen Outdoors Podcast

Prepare yourselves for an exciting episode! We were extremely fortunate to catch Jessica Byers @followherarrow and Rihana Cary @rihanacary together at the same time during and extremely busy weekend for them at the Total Archery Challenge held at the Snowbird Ski Resort in SLC, UT. They are fresh off their trip to Australia and New Zealand and it was so great to hear their stories of the hunts they did and feel the emotion as they relived their success and challenges of hunting in unforgiving terrain. Statements such as " I thought we were going to die" and " I couldn't have done it without you" were spoken and felt as we sat and talked.  It became plainly obvious very quickly that these two women have a fierce determination to succeed and a undying love for the outdoors. They definitely possess the warrior spirit and are perfect ambassadors for women in the hunting world. Thanks again to Jessica and Rihana for being so gracious and we can't wait to do it again.

This episode is one we will never forget. We traveled 4 1/2 hours north to Island Park Idaho to spend a day with Charlie Lansche and his son JC. We sat on Charlie's deck with the Henry's Fork of the Snake River 30 feet behind us. Checkout our Instagram @makeithappenoutdoors for the pictures. It's hard to put into words how beautiful it was. Charlie welcomed us in like family and we left feeling that way. Charlie has led a life of making it happen outdoors and is currently an accomplished outdoor photographer whose talent, love for life and love for the outdoors makes him an unforgettable person and it's our wish you get the chance to meet him someday. We were doubly lucky to to get his son JC on the podcast with us. He is a student of the river and can probably out fish most folks on the river. It was an honor and a pleasure to spend the day with Charlie and JC and we can't thank them enough for letting us invade their day. On your way through Island Park make sure and stop by Charlie's gallery, Last Chance G

This episode is one Brandon and I will never forget. We were honored to get the opportunity to spend a day with a modern day legend in the world of hunting.

Wayne's knowledge of the animals he hunts and his ability to have a conversation with them is second to none. We apologize for seeming a bit starstruck, but honestly we were. Wayne's video's  taught us how to call and hunt elk clear back in the 90's and after spending a day with him he's still teaching us how it's done!
