Send us a textIn Memory of Jackie OwensJoin host Alex Rutledge for a deeply moving and inspirational episode featuring predator hunting expert Eddie Owens. Recorded on January 1st, 2026, just weeks after the passing of Eddie's beloved wife Jackie, this powerful conversation goes far beyond hunting tactics to explore the profound impact of faith, love, and partnership.Eddie shares the beautiful story of how he and Jackie met in seventh grade, their 27-year journey together, and how Jackie transformed from a novice into an accomplished predator hunter who could outshoot her husband. But this episode's heart lies in Jackie's courageous battle with ovarian cancer—how she worked the day after chemo treatments, continued hunting in Montana during her fight, and inspired hundreds with her unwavering faith.Through tears and laughter, Eddie recounts memorable hunts, discusses their favorite rifles and cooking recipes, and delivers a powerful testimony about caregiving, legacy, and trusting God through life's darkest valleys. Jackie's story of strength, grace, and faith touched an estimated 500-800 people at her service and continues to inspire through this heartfelt tribute.This episode is for anyone who:Values faith and family above all elseWants to understand the power of outdoor partnershipsNeeds encouragement during difficult timesLoves authentic stories of courage and legacyPart 1 of a 3-part series on predator hunting.
