Kent and Brandon making it happen in the outdoors
In this episode we were honored to have a conversation with Chelsee Dery. Chelsee's love and obsession for wildlife and the hunting heritage became very apparent in the first few minutes of our conversation. Her drive to be a life long learner has enabled her to pursue a multitude of outdoor experiences such as archery and elk calling, long range shooting, photography and film, and most recently making primitive clothing. Her dedication to her passion is unrivaled. The quote from Theodore Roosevelt " Speak softly and carry a big stick" fits Chelsee to a tee. Thank yo so much Chelsee for sitting down with us!

Amongst all the craziness we're all thrown into these days, we had the opportunity to sit down, relax, have a meal and chat with JC known throughout the cooking community as cooking_queen_xo Jen invited us into her home and we were immediately treated as family. Jen filled our bellies with mouth watering street tacos topped with gummy bears (amazing as a topping by the way). We had a perfectly comfortable night hanging out learning about cooking and talking about all the irons she has in the fire. Jen's talent for cooking and her passion for cooking added together don't equal her need to serve people and make them smile. Jen's 18+ hour days are spent being an amazing mom and preparing food for folks that need not only her amazing food, but her ever positive attitude as well.

As we promised in our mid summer scouting report episode we sit down and talk about how the Utah elk archery season finished out. We had (5) general season spike/cow permits and Darren had the Any Bull permit. The spike/cow tags proved to be a little hate hard to fill, but... the Any Bull tag got filled in spectacular fashion. As the season progressed the elk hunting became everything an archery hunter could hope for. The temperatures cooled off, the leaves started putting on their fall colors and the much anticipated rut started to kick in. To hear the rest of the story download this episode and find out how much fun and rewarding a successful elk hunt can be.

We were instantly jealous when Kaysie Thomas told us she spends at lest 6 days a week outside in the mountains doing what she loves with her husband Troy and their dog Kylo. Kaysie and Troy have built a life outdoors as wildland firefighters and then starting and growing a business collecting and selling antler sheds. With the addition of Kylo to the shed hunting crew there won't be too many sheds left for other folks to find! Kylo is a shed finding machine and we don't want to leave out the other shed crazy members in their household their three cats Yoda, Wookie and Vader! Kaysie's outdoor spirit comes through as she tells the story of how she became a hunter and how she felt when she harvested her first animal. The success Kaysie and Troy have had in the multiple backcountry hunts they do every year is unparalleled and well earned.

While we were at the Hunt Expo in Salt Lake City we were able to wrangle Jordan Budd and Jordan Adams for a podcast that happened on the fly and we wouldn't have had it any other way. These two were a blast to talk to and not only did we have a great time talking with them we learned a ton of stuff about the hunting industry we didn't know before. When it comes to hunting, guiding, ranching and film making these two are a wealth of information and you'd be selling yourself short if you didn't ask the for their advice. These two are as wholesome and genuine as anybody you'll meet and we can't wait to spend more time with them in the future. Be sure to look them up if you're looking for a deer hunt and be sure to check out Jordan Budd's YouTube channel as well as all their other social media sites.

The first weekend in February found us the high desert town of Elko Nevada for what proved to be a weekend that will stay etched in our memories forever. We had the distinct pleasure of sitting down with Ned Ledoux while he was in town performing a couple shows for the 35th annual National Cowboy Poetry Gathering. From the moment we sat down to the conclusion of the interview Ned in his own way put us at ease and made the next hour or so fly by with stories of his childhood growing up on the ranch in Wyoming and how he got started in music by playing a set of drums in the basement. We of course talked about what it was like having the legendary Chris Ledoux for a father and honestly we weren't surprised at how close the apple falls from the tree. Ned is as genuine as they come and lives his life committed to the western way of life, faith in God and family and telling stories through his music. There's no doubt he will " Never Change". Be sure to watch for Ned's new album coming out this fall! Thank you Ned from the bottom of our hearts for spending some time with us and sharing your stories.
