Western hunting is as diverse as it gets from pursuing coastal Blacktails or pigs in central California, Antelope on the open plains of Wyoming, Roosevelts in the western units of Oregon or chasing bugles in a drainage somewhere in Colorado.

I sat down with Armando Martinez of The Bow Hitch and talk about the random acts giveaway they're running. Given the things we see on a day to day all the conflicts, all the discord and just doing something random and kind seems to be a stretch. Things like this just deserve a highlight. Enjoy the episode!

I sat down with Ed Morris and Mark Nethery, two gentlemen who have held office with The League of Kentucky Sportsmen. The League has been around since 1935 and advocating for the sportsmen and women in the fine state of Kentucky. Walking the halls of the state legislature with one goal, regardless of the subset in the outdoors to fight, weigh in, show our power as a voting block and insure that decisions are based in sound management. With the amount of years and lessons learned the value in experience is worth its weight in gold, especially with the current state of affairs and opposition we face. Enjoy the episode!

This episode is a follow up to episode 264 Divide and Conquer, with Jim Huntsman and Joe Giglia. We recieved an email from listener Ed Morris out of Kentucky. The email had some great talking points and what I would consider a template of action more of us need to follow, organize and promote, a group called the League of Ky Sportsmen, founded in 1935 by concerned sportsmen (www.kentuckysportsmen.com . When the three of us get to talking there is plenty of rabbit holes, nonetheless we felt addressing this on air was the best way to serve the efforts in Kentucky and our passion. Enjoy the episode!
