Black Hills, Turkeys, Oreos, and Hunting with Nancy
Location: Black Hills, South Dakota, USA
Spring 2016
Nancy worked very hard for her first turkey. We had some amazing meals with our friends Nick and Seth from MN and SD respectively. We hunted hard and did what we needed to in order to put Nancy on her first turkey. Following her bird, we chase mine and finish 4 for 4 in our group for SD Black Hills turkeys. I love this area and look forward to hunting here every chance I get. Nancy did everything she could to mess up my hunt lol but my perseverance paid off. As always it was fun and I hope that you can enjoy the adventure along with me.
For those who are interested, you can get your turkey tags through the Game & Fish in most states. Some have over-the-counter (OTC) options but many are by lottery draw only. Visit your local Game and Fish web site for opportunities near you. If you have never been hunting and would like to, first step is to get your Hunter Safety Course finished up. Some states offer a Mentorship as a possibility. Another great option is to contact the First Hunt Foundation. It is a great organization that is to help those interested in learning to hunt. I also highly recommend Volume 1 & 2 of The Complete Guide to Hunting, Butchering, and Cooking Wild Game books by Steven Rinella. Another outstanding resource is Hank Shaw and his books as well as Hunt Angler Gardener Cook group on Facebook.

Show Notes:
Stories from My Youth: Part 2
Locations: Japan, Utah, California
Early 1980’s
There are so many crazy and fun stories from my youth that it will take many episodes to get them all recorded. Part 2 includes; Crop-dusted in the Cotton Field, Epi Shots, Emergency Room Visits, Catching Frogs & Hiding Them to Take Home, Fiddler Crabs in the Closet, and Mice in a Box.
Many of the small things I did as a youth have helped me to become a better fisher and hunter now that I am aging into the “Old Salt” I look forward to being. As always it was fun, and I hope that you can enjoy the adventure along with me.

Shopping, Being Sick, and Talking Squirt Into Helping Me Gut a Deer
Shopping with Mom, Being Sick, and Talking Squirt into Helping Me Gut a Mule Deer with My Little Sister Ashli Telling Her Side of the Story
Location: Mostly Utah, USA
Fall 1991ish
One of the things that I really do not like is shopping. As a child I would do everything I could to avoid going to the city and shopping. In this podcast I talk about some of the ways I would make it so people wouldn’t take me. I also talk about how I would fake sick to stay home but on one occasion I was actually sick and had a dilemma when a nice mule deer buck was grazing next to my rifle target at 100 yards when the muzzleloader season was on. I then had the problem of getting it back to the house and gutted but was extremely ill. My little sister Ashli was home with me that day. I talked her into helping me to her never-ending regret. I tell my version of the story and then invited her over to tell her version. The only real discrepancy is in Ashli’s version my mother comes home.
My mother would like it to be known she was not a terrible mother. She worries people will think she wasn’t a good mother. Nothing could be farther from the truth! My mother was amazing and raised my siblings and I when my father was on cruise. I can’t imagine the difficulties military wives face raising kids, let alone a child such as myself. I am very thankful for the love and patience of my mother. Without her who knows where I would be.
