About this episode

Brian Barney interviews Nate Illingsworth about his journey in elk hunting and personal transformation.

In this episode Brian Barney sits down with Nate Illingsworth. Nate has a hilarious social media page and is also a die-hard bowhunter. He tells some great stories of setting his house on fire and getting his bow stuck at full draw on a big bull. Nate is self-deprecating but has a super-inspirational story: he weighed over 300 pounds and got himself in shape just to bow hunt elk. He is doing all the necessary skill work, fitness and putting his time in to become consistently successful. He found some great hunting last season and the guys talk about his evolution. It's a great podcast this week on Eastmans Elevated.
