Summary

The Man Who Hunted Men with RT Stewart - Part 1 This week, Cameron and Andy present you with part 1 of the fascinating interview with RT Stewart who is a retired conservation officer who went undercover to bust what was at the time the largest poaching ring ever busted. The bust resulted in 26 convictions of poachers who illegally killed wild turkeys and deer out of season, over the legal bag limit, at night, and just for kicks. RT was a pioneer in undercover work for the Ohio DNR, and he literally became a member of the community in which these poachers were living and put his own life at risk getting video evidence of these violations in the process. This is an interview you won't want to miss! Before the interview though, Cameron and Andy have a huge announcement for all of their friends of the show and for wild turkeys as well. They are raffling off two Rio Grande wild turkey hunts in late February for the opportunity to harvest two wild turkeys for each hunter who wins in the drawing. You'll want to listen in for information on the raffle, and you'll want to buy your raffle tickets early and often. Below is the link where you can purchase your raffle tickets to join Cameron and Andy in South Texas at El Mapache Blanco Ranch to hunt wild turkeys while almost everyone else is sitting at home with the winter doldrums.  https://tinyurl.com/55heeu99 or you can scan this URL code to get to the website to buy tickets. Proceeds from the raffle will go to benefit The National Wild Turkey Federation and Turkeys for Tomorrow.
