Beau Martonik shares the story of his father, Joe Martonik—a Pennsylvania hunter who’s spent the last 45 years chasing mature mountain bucks in the vast big woods. Through quiet leadership, deep woodsmanship, and an unwavering connection to the land, Joe helped shape Beau into the hunter and man he is today. 

Mountain Man Joe is more than just a Father’s Day tribute. It’s a reflection on the legacy of big woods whitetail hunting in the Appalachian Mountains, and the mentors who teach us not just how to hunt—but how to live. These are the stories passed down through generations, forged in oak ridges, steep drainages, and frosty November mornings in the Pennsylvania wilds.

As hunters, we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us.
