Past Midwest Whitetail Employees

Brent from Iowa asks,

Bill: It's so cool to see you writing again online and posting content to YouTube. I have followed you and MW since 2011 (I was a senior in high school then) and I believe one of the first episodes I saw was the G5 buck hunt. Man, talk about being hooked from the start. I've always been curious if you keep in touch with Zach, Aaron and Greg ever since they started The Hunting Public. A lot of people I know that follow MW also now subscribe to THP, myself included, because of the connection they had on your show a few years back. On their podcast, they have mentioned quite a few times about the great experiences they had working for MW. I bet it's cool to see your former employees take off and excel in the industry as well. They were very talented back then, but it seems they have taken their craft to another level. Thanks again for all you do - and have done - to help educate us to be better hunters and outdoorsmen. Looking forward to your new adventure here!!

Brent,

I appreciate your support. That hunt was the most unbelievable hunts I have ever been part of, and probably ever will be part of.  Wow, what an evening. I finally have a short highlight version of that on this site. You can watch it here.

I don’t keep in touch with those guys very much. They left way back in 2017.  I did keep up with them at first as they sub-contracted some of the editing at Midwest Whitetail that first year.  I see them occasionally at trade shows, but they are busy running their business and travel a lot.  They are doing a great job. I always knew they were too talented to stay at Midwest Whitetail long-term.  The only way I think they would have stayed is if I could have sold them the business and I couldn’t see a good way to do that.  

It will be interesting to see what this grows into. I am just going to ease into it and see where it leads. Have a great day (3/28/21)
