    TGBTU 13 | How Deer Hunting Used To Be | Deer Camp Stories with Dad and Pap

    In this episode, I sit down with my dad, Scott Henderson, and my pap, Marty Henderson, to revisit decades of deer camp memories, hunting traditions, and the stories that helped shape our family's connection to the outdoors.

Through stories spanning multiple generations, we explore how hunting culture has evolved, the lessons learned from old-school woodsmanship, and the importance of preserving the traditions that connect us to both the land and each other.
