Hello buddies! This week's episode features my good pals Samong Yang and Nathaniel Cutshall from Samong Yang Outdoors. I take over their podcast studio to talk Washington's stupid hunting laws, my poor shooting skills, and Bigfoot conspiracies. I love these dudes and you can catch more of them on their very own podcast "Samong Yang Outdoors Podcast".

Hey Buddies, I'm coming at you this week with a solo episode talking about my 2025 Archery Bull, my first ever, and it only took me 12 years to pull it off. Then, I answer some listener questions ranging from the problem with Nerds Gummy Clusters to why Mule Deer guys are the hipsters of the forest.
