Bad stories. Today we have bad stories and sad stories and some funny stories, folks.

We're sitting down. William and I are. We're going to have a very fun casual conversation reading you some of the trigger story entries that we're sending to us for our Timney Trigger Giveaway.

So thanks for tuning in, folks. You're listening to the Backcountry Hunting Podcast.

I'm Joseph von Benedict here with my son William,

aka the Backcountry Apprentice.

And we've selected, what is it,

six or so of these letters that told stories about Trigger.

Some of them are inspiring.

Some of them are downright sad.

Like, oh, my gosh, I feel so bad for that person.

Yeah.

But all of them, yeah, all of them have that awareness of how important a good trigger is.

And that's kind of an inspiring thing.

So we're going to start by reading the two winning

stories one of the reasons we picked both of these is because they both involve youth and helping

youth become effective in the back country and addicted to hunting right so will, why don't you kick us off by reading the first one here?

We're both reading off a computer screen here.

So we're just going to have fun and keep this pretty casual.

Kick us off, buddy.

All righty.

So this story is from a listener named Mike.

He says, for my birthday years ago, my dad got me a Remington 700 chambered in 7-R-Mag.
