Welcome to the podcast, today I am joined by a totally different kind of hunter or at least one with a totally different perspective on hunting. Rob Gearing aka Mr. G is the owner of Spartan Precision Equipment in the UK. Rob’s a very accomplished mountain climber and hardcore adventure, he also happens to manage the game on a big estate in the UK. Let me start by saying there might be some explicit language in this episode, so if the kiddos are in the car, just an FYI. In this episode, we dive down all kinds of rabbit holes. We talk about hunting in the UK, what hunting across the pond looks like, Rob’s passion for mountain hunting and big mountains in general. Rob has a really cool project that he is working on with trip-pod that breaks down into trekking poles or a shooting bi-pod, really all kinds of variation. Rob is an interesting dude and we had a blast on this episode. Also joining us is my good friend and podcast producer. John Gebuer who has been on back in our blacktail episode last winter. Like I said I really enjoyed this conversation with someone from a completely different perspective and background. Link: Spartan Precision Equipment
