EP 116: Fulfilling Your Lifelong Dreams Oct 12, 2019

Show notes

In this episode (116) of Leupold's Hunt Talk Radio, Randy and Marcus are on their way home from Randy's lifelong dream hunt; Mountain Caribou in the Cassiar Mountains of British Columbia. This podcast focuses on the importance of having dreams, and even more important to work at making those dreams come true. Randy has been dreaming of this hunt since a teenager. It took 40 years to make it a reality. In addition to caribou, a moose tag in hand was a handy addition to this amazing experience. Great adventures, new landscapes, special species, more memories and new friends. If you get only one thing from this episode, I hope it is the inspiration to make your lifelong dreams the reality of today.
