On this episode, I sat down with two good LEO's and hunting buddies, SGT Mark Coon (Stevens CSO) and SGT Sean Moore (Yuba CSO). We discussed the rigors of police work from crazy schedules, to sleep deprivation, to hormone deficiencies; and how we cope these issues and still manage our professional/personal lives and hunting addictions.

Part one of a two part series: I sat down, in studio, with Larry Ashton, of Great Rates Brokerage, here in Idaho. As a broker and financial advisor, Larry and I discussed how to invest and save for the expense of hunting. With a split focus on younger hunters and how to invest for the expense of adventure hunts later in life, to how older hunters can save for application and license fees on an annual basis.

Part two will feature a special guest with extensive knowledge of application strategies, point systems and how older hunters can obtain a tag every year.

On this episode I sit down with Jacob Porter of Max Meadows, Virginia. Jacob and I go back to 2020, when he did some armorer training for my previous agency here in Idaho. We developed a long lasting friendship forged out of our love of muzzleloaders and muzzleloader hunting. As a gunsmith, Jacob is well versed in building muzzleloaders of all shapes and sizes. If you're interested in building a muzzleloader or muzzleloader hunting, reach out to Jacob.

On this episode I am solo and discuss the relationships we forge in the hunting community, what those relationships should mean to us as hunters and humans. This episode is short, but deep, and appropriate given the fact that fate dropped a friend and mentor into my City this past week. This gave us the opportunity to deepen the forge between us and plan a hunt for 2026.

On tonight's show, I sat down with my wife of 30 years, Charlene, and discussed her take on hunting, her hunting history, and how her role has evolved in three decades. This is an interesting conversation and made some unexpected revelations.
