Mike Duplan
Mike is the hunter's hunter. He is well-known for his bighorn sheep slam, procuring gigantic mule deer, writing books about those topics, and being the biggest person in the room unless he's at a professional sporting event. He's a passionate writer and conservationist, and we couldn't be more proud to print his thoughts, experiences, and highly respected opinions. Mike has been writing for Western Hunter and Elk Hunter magazines for over a decade, and his articles cover all things that the modern hunter should be concerned with. He is truly a wealth of knowledge, and if you're not reading his articles regularly, you're missing out. Mike is based in Colorado where, following a 30-year career as a firefighter paramedic, he is a leading voice in conservation efforts.
