So what was that journey like? What did that start out as? What did mobile mean to you in the beginning and what does it mean now?

Aaron OlsonGUEST
Yeah, step one of that, so to give a little bit more background, I started growing up in northern Michigan and northeast Michigan, and certain properties that I hunted, it was all private land to begin with, but certain properties I hunted, you were lucky to even see a single deer.

Aaron OlsonGUEST
Then I started hunting with one of my close friends and they had a lot of deer, not a lot of good bucks, but man, we put a hurting on some does and just got a lot of reps actually killing deer and setting up.

Aaron OlsonGUEST
But one thing that was evident was when we first started, he had his stand, I had my stand.

Aaron OlsonGUEST
And again, didn't matter what the wind direction was, didn't matter what the scenario, he was going to his stand, I was going to mine.

Aaron OlsonGUEST
We graduated from that, and we would go to Menards at the end of the year and hit their clearance sale.
