Non-Typical deer are cool, but non-typical hunters are even cooler.The Non-Typical Project is all about the hunters who do it a little differently. The ones who go against the grain, the ones who found their own path, and all the things that make them non-typical.Non-typical talks with non-typical hunters. Belly laugh campfire stories, hunt strategy, archery, and everything in between.My name is Dean Besic and I'll be your host/guide as we hunt down some Non-Typical hunters and find out what makes them that way and how they're so darn good at it.
