EP 223. Rugged Expeditions, J. Alain Smith

A gifted communicator, J. Alain Smith is a hunter, writer, musician and adventurer who has explored the world's farthest reaches. He's collected 350 different game species to include World Slams of Sheep and Goats, the North American Grand Slam of Sheep and the African Big 5. He's authored 6 books, produces the hit outdoor TV show Rugged Expeditions, is a Conklin Award winner, Weatherby Conservation Award recipient, and SCI International Hunter of the Year--and it all began as a youngster while hunting mallards and ring-necked pheasants near home in Washington. What's the most dangerous situation encountered? Most challenging hunt? Most unique culture? Any regrets? How does he reconcile trophy with experience? And what's the craziest thing he's ever eaten while in hunting camp (hint: it definitely didn't taste like chicken)?!
