164. CHAMOIS, ROEBUCK & SPAIN PRE-PRODUCTION w/ PEDRO AMPUERO
#164
Last Sunday at 1:00 PM

I am super stoked tp be headed to Spain in June to hunt Chamois and Roebuck with Pedro Ampuero. Several months ago Pedro invited me and when you get an opportunity like that, you say yes! I am looking forward to hunting both of these iconic European species, but until now I knew almost nothing about them. In this episode Pedro and I go over some of the basics of hunting these species, their habitats and characteristics. Towards the end of the episode we talk a little about logistics and pre-production. I hope you find this episode interesting. If...

156. LIFE AFTER FOOTBALL w/ SUPER BOWL CHAMP | JOE JUREVICIUS
#156
02/11/2024

Wide Receiver, Joe Jurevicius lived his dream and became a Super Bowl champion when the Buccaneers beat the Raider in Super Bowl XXXVII. I was a fan of his all those years ago and our paths even crossed...well, sort of. But after his illustrious career, which included two other Super Bowl appearances ended, Joe felt empty and without purpose. Joe found part of that purpose through big game hunting. Enjoy!
