In this episode, we break down the biggest challenges adult-onset hunters face—gear overload, confusing regulations, access to land, confidence at the range, and the anxiety of doing it “wrong.” Most importantly, we explain why finding a hunting mentor is the fastest, safest way to build real-world skills and enjoy the woods sooner.
