If you are a guide, have a friend who guides, or enjoy hiring guides, this is a must-listen episode!

While the lifestyle may sound like a dream job to many, there are a lot of challenges, including long days in the elements, dealing with different personalities, pressure to put clients on fish, and much more.

Welcome to the 2nd installment of our short "Revisited Series" centered around Women in Hunting. This week we're bringing you a blast from the past from back on Episode 35! Avid bowhunter April Dawn Willis was my special guest, and she talked about some great health and fitness tips to perform your best out in the field! I think the majority of us can use a little help in that area, it's a timeless topic that I thought deserves to be put back into the spotlight.

Between guiding trips in the Tampa (Apollo Beach) area down in Florida, hosting workshops for Finn's Fishing Club and Reel Ladies Fishing, as well as being Co-Founder and Director for a non-profit called Hooked on Hope raising money for uninsured and underinsured patients, it's a wonder she had a few minutes to carve out some time to be on the podcast! I'm sure glad she did!
