Chris Dorsey recently appeared as a guest on The Journey Within podcast to discuss wildlife conservation, the dangers of ballot box biology, his history in the outdoor TV industry, and more. Dorsey was interviewed by host Mark Peterson, and the two avid hunters and TV hosts shared strategies for taking the pro-hunting narrative to mainstream America.
Mark Peterson’s dedication to the outdoors allows him to be both an outfitter and TV host. In early 2013, Mark decided to leave his family’s fruit farming and processing business to turn his passion into a full-time quest. The Journey Within podcast tells the full story of logistics, travel and hunting dynamics of different cultures in the world of hunting. Mark is currently pursuing the completion of the Super Slam three times, 29 species with a bow, rifle and muzzleloader.
