On this episode of The Western Rookie Dan talks with friend and fellow western hunter Tucker Johnson about Tucker’s transition from chasing blacktail deer in Oregon to Elk in Idaho.

Tucker grew up in Oregon hunting  everything from ducks and geese to big game like black tail deer, mule deer and Roosevelt elk. After high school he joined the Marine Corps and did deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. Upon leaving the Marines Tucker moved to Idaho and continued his passion for hunting elk, mule deer and whatever else he could find. Tucker now works for Eberlestock as their retail store manager. In Idaho Tucker met his wife and started a family. They now have 2 boys who love the outdoors and they spend a lot of time in the mountains and on UTV trails exploring their great state!
