Summary

Today’s episode is a special one. This weekend we lost someone very important to me and to many people in the hunting community. My unc, my OG, and one of my mentors in this industry passed away in Texas after battling cancer. He was someone who believed in me early on, supported what I was building with the podcast, and always shared wisdom about hunting, life, and the outdoors.

Because of that, I wanted to honor him by rerunning the podcast episode we recorded together. This conversation meant a lot to me then, and it means even more now. If you’ve heard it before, I hope you listen again and remember the kind of man he was. If you’re hearing it for the first time, this is a chance to hear his voice, his stories, and the passion he had for hunting and the outdoor lifestyle.

Rest easy unc. Thank you for the guidance, the laughs, and the lessons. This episode is dedicated to you William Bubba Ray!
