If you do off-season work, you know it beats up gear, scouting, land work, crawling through

briar patches, brush, weather, long days. First Light fieldwear is built for all that. No shortcuts.

Purpose built durable. Hardwearing where it needs to be versatile where it matters. It supports

the work that earns the season. Check out FirstLight's new fieldwear collection at

FirstLight.com. Welcome to Backwoods University, a place where we focus on wildlife, wild

places, and the people who dedicate their lives to conserving both. And I want to give a big

shout out to Onex Hunt for their support of this

podcast. I'm your host, Lake Pickle. And on today's episode, it's part two and the final chapter

of our time spent in the woods with Supreme Court Justice Antonine Scalia. And like I alluded to

in part one, what we're going to get into and discover today is without a doubt the best part of this entire story.

We're going to learn why this man was so highly respected by everyone, even the people that disagreed with him.

And we're going to learn how hunting and wild game played a linchpin role in all of it.

And how a love for the outdoors that he found

through a couple of good friends down in Mississippi would stick with him until the final days

of his life. This story is going to stick with you, my friends. Trust me. Let's dive in. I will miss the challenges and the laughter he provoked.

His congent eminently quotable opinions so clearly stated that his words never slipped from the reader's grasp.

The roses he brought me on my birthday, the chance to appear with him once more as supernumeraries

at the opera. How blessed I was to have a working colleague and dear friend of such captivating

brilliance, high spirits and quick wit. In the words of a duet for Tennis Scalia and soprano

Ginsburg, we were different, yes, in our interpretation of written

text, yet one in our reverence for the court and its place in the U.S. system of governance.

A eulogy.
