Let's take a trip back to when Ricky and Hollywood caught up with Jason a few weeks after returning from an adventure in Patagonia, bowhunting for Red Stag. Jason gives the scoop on the complexities of the travel and planning for a trip of that caliber. A rollercoaster of emotions immediately took hold as his bow didn’t show up in Buenos Aires, amongst the chaos of navigating through the city of 13 million, to the final destination outside of San Martin. Fortunately, the story unfolds with success, and a great memory made that won’t soon be forgotten. 

Jason lays out the story of his most unique Turkey hunting season, and the guys discuss the importance of our roles as father’s, and raising kids in the outdoor and hunting space. 

You can find Jason on both Facebook and Instagram @jasonmatzingerofficial.
