Welcome to the Vortex Nation podcast brought to you by lovers of hunting, shooting, public lands, the Second Amendment and good food. All right, what is up everybody?

Jim to my right, as per usual, Jim, you're always on the right. right yeah I don't think we had to say it anymore yeah I guess the only

reason we might provide some context and really you don't need context because if I'm doing the intro then you're on my right and if you're doing the intro I'm on your left so there's really no

But that is where you are that is the facts of the matter so across from us most importantly this is the facts of the matter. So across from us most importantly, this is the most important thing.

We've got Willie Schmidt from from Pure Hunting Television.

Now, I don't want to I don't want to put you in just the pure hunting box willy because we all know you're an onion

we've got many layers to the willy and we're gonna expose those late we're

there's an onion and hopefully not make everybody cry as a result like you would with an onion

Yes, exactly

Great across from us we have Willie Schmidt and we are going to chat with him about a variety of things including his television show which is super cool.

So great outdoor hunting TV show and there's a lot of layers to that onion too. It's a good show. So let's get in.

Willie before I keep talking, rambling, disjointed, somewhat fluid train of thought, Why don't you tell our listeners a little bit about yourself and you know who you are and where you came from and all that good stuff so.

Perfect.

As you said, my name's Willie Schmidt. Now coming to you from Bozeman, Montana for the last about year and a half, Native Colorado and lived there until August of 2018 when my wife and I decided it was time to uproot and move to

move to Bozeman. Everybody was asked what the what was the impetus I don't know if

there really was one our daughter

started going to Montana State we started visiting even prior to that we've

been here a couple of times but it was about then when we started visiting a

little more for school or we're like you know we we really like

the feel of the town it felt like Colorado did 30 40 years ago and we were kind of built

it around our son graduating high school and becoming empty nesters.

So it worked out and here we are just really phase two in life and taken taking the next leap of faith and developing whatever the future holds.
