The opportunities, game and landscapes offer a multitude of possibilities to all bold enough to challenge themselves to adventure past their comfort zone.

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!
