E 261. Chasing Birds & Elite Ear Pro with Alclair Outdoors
Today we're joined by our buddy and fellow Setter guy, Marc Mussleman from Alclair Outdoors. Marc has a really interesting background and chose to bring his knowledge from the music industry into the hunting world. Marc and his dogs chase birds in some of the coolest parts of the country and yes, I'm jealous. If you're interested in learning more about Marc, his ear pro, why it matters and how you can get into some yourself, then I'd highly recommend reaching out to him.
Here's a few highlights from the show:
We learn more about Marc and his background in the music industry, hunting dogs and his business, Alclair Outdoors.
Marc discusses hearing protection in the outdoor industry and how he took what was learned working with top tier musicians from around the world... and then put that into gear for hunters like you and me.
Marc is a dog guy. After two minutes of talking with him, you know it. His dogs travel the country with him and they never a miss a day at the office. Marc shares a few hunting stories that include his dog, Oscar.
