Today’s guest likely needs no introduction, as I’m joined by Bernie Barringer, accomplished outdoor writer, DIY hunter, trapper, salmon fisher…you name it Bernie has done it. Today Bernie shares his depth of knowledge for planning successful out-of-state DIY hunts.

Many think DIY hunts are only able to be pulled of by a certain type of hunter. Most assume it’s too expensive, or that you need access to private land. Bernie’s here to bust those myths and help provide tips for planning for DIY public land succes.
