The Most Memorable Hunt

Meet Aron Snyder [@Aron_Snyder], President of Kifaru International [@Kifaru_Intl]. If hunting is your jam, you probably already know the name. Maker of gear, banger of weights, and avid hunter, Aron fits right in with The Crew. Hear John and Aron exchange stories about adventures in the sport. Scrolling through his instagram is like the trophy room in Ace Ventura, Nature Calls…and if you don’t know what that is shame on you. This week is all about a different kind of game.

When is the last time you were charged by a bear or wolverine? Unless you are backpacking hunter Aron Snyder, President of Kifaru International, the answer is probably “never”. This is just the norm for some like him whose job requires him to be in the wilderness 100 days out of the year. If you’ve ever wondered about the arguments for and against hunting exotic animals, Aron lays out the explanation. He also regales us with tales of 14 day solo hunting trips which have had questioning his sanity and physical limits. Find out what emu and whale taste like and why pissing blood is not considered a healthy bodily function.
