On a fairly normal Wednesday afternoon in Bozeman, I sat in Dusan Smetana\\u2019s living room sipping brandy and enjoying a damn nice fire. It was slow and calm, the perfect setting to learn about the life of a man with a novel\\u2019s worth of stories to tell. Dusan, a renowned outdoor photographer, has a great life on his Montana homestead with his family, dogs, Icelandic sheep, chickens, pigs and a rather athletic flock of homing pigeons.

It\\u2019s not unusual on a cold winter day to find Dusan doing exactly what we did that day\\u2014enjoying life. It\\u2019s a stark contrast to his upbringing in communist Czechoslovakia and his immigration to the United States. We talked about that journey, how his community handled hunting during his childhood and where hunting is headed today. Please enjoy this conversation with a one-of-a-kind man.
