John Mulligan’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. After an illustrious career in law enforcement, including daring undercover work as a narcotics agent, he found solace in the serene fields and tree stands of Iowa, indulging his passion for whitetail hunting with a compound bow and camera in hand. But John is more than just a hunter; he’s a true entrepreneur, with ownership of three thriving businesses, and a track record of selling successful ventures in the past.

Leaving the police force didn’t mean slowing down for John. On the contrary, he has since built an impressive resume as a marketing director, skilled photographer, and even an Under Armour Athlete. However, the crowning achievement for John is undoubtedly hosting his own web series, “Primal Divide,” where he shares his love for archery and the great outdoors. Hunting has always been in John’s blood, having grown up in Kentucky, and his relentless drive and talent have transformed his passion into a second career that fuels his soul.

While his focus is mainly on hunting and outdoor content, John’s entrepreneurial spirit has led him to explore various ventures, from crafting handmade turkey calls to freelance photography and videography. His dedication and determination to make it in the hunting industry paid off, even during tough times in 2019 when financial struggles loomed. But as fate would have it, opportunities knocked, and John’s phone hasn’t stopped ringing with new prospects and exciting projects ever since. With an unwavering passion for what he does, John Mulligan continues to inspire and thrive in the world he loves most.
