I was invited to the first Washington Chapter BHA Rendezvous event. I sat down with some board members of the Washington Chapter of BHA the night before the event that I had a booth at. I wanted to highlight some of the past achievements the chapter has made while also making sure to find out what conservation projects they had coming up in the near future. I was joined by Clarence Rushing, Mandy Carlstom and Jon Dykes in this episode and I hope you all enjoy the conversation. Also make sure you like and subscribe to try and get this content out in front of more people. Thanks for the support and visit me at Elliottoutdoors.com
