Bryce Underwood - Gear Guide
My Name is Bryce, I have been a gear guide with BlackOvis for a few years now. My knowledge in big-game gear has grown exponentially with my time here! I have been given the opportunity to not only use the gear we sell, but train, learn, and talk to customers daily about everything we carry. I grew up in the waterfowl world, and have been hunting any bird you can think of for over 15 years. I started my big-game hunting about 6 years ago, but I have quickly learned to love it! Below is more about myself, and my own gear-list that I personally have learned to trust. I will focus on big game essentials, however you can reach out to me about my vast experience with waterfowl gear at the contact info at the bottom!
