    62: Proving The Woods Are Open To Everyone With Shannon Kortman (Michigan)

    Shannon Kortman has been in a wheelchair since he was two years old, paralyzed from the waist down due to spina bifida. He was adopted by a family who refused to let a diagnosis define what their son could do, and that mindset stuck. Shannon did not grow up in a hunting family, but when a man named Doug, another wheelchair-bound hunter, reached out and said he wanted to take him on a deer hunt in Michigan, something lit up that has never gone out. That first eight point buck at a high fence ranch in 2010 was just the beginning. Since then Shannon has turkey hunted his way onto Michigan Out of Doors television, shot bears in Michigan and Canada, and built a content platform called Anyone Can Outdoors to show other people with disabilities that the woods are still open to them. His Canada bear hunt last spring ended with a bear so large it broke the arm of the excavator trying to weigh it, somewhere north of 400 pounds and now heading toward a full body mount. Shannon is also a certified counselor, a Sunday school teacher, a public speaker, and one of the most naturally gifted storytellers to sit down with A Hunter's Legacy. This episode is about deer hunting, turkey hunting, bear hunting in Michigan and Canada, and the kind of faith and grit that keeps a man in the woods no matter what life puts in front of him.

    61: How A Stock Market Crash Led To A Great Land Investment With Randy Scheel (Iowa)

    Randy Scheel grew up in rural Iowa chasing pheasants and rabbits through fence rows and creek bottoms, tagging along on hunts before he was old enough to carry a gun. His dad passed away when he was young, and it was his brother-in-law Paul who really brought him into the outdoors and kept him there for decades. When Paul's health declined and dementia set in, Randy returned the favor, tracking down a light enough shotgun and setting up one last pheasant hunt. He got it on video with his phone, dogs on point, Paul shooting a rooster, the excitement on his face. That was the memory Paul held onto even when he could not remember people anymore. Randy hunts whitetails and turkeys across Iowa and spent fifteen years managing sixty acres of timber in northern Missouri before selling it to move closer to home. He is a longtime member of the National Wild Turkey Federation, runs Jake's Day events for youth hunters, and recently launched one of the first adult turkey hunting courses in his county, filling all fifteen slots almost immediately. He talks about what it looks like when adults decide they want to get into hunting later in life, why he thinks hunting shows have done more harm than good, and how pheasants are adapting to timber cover in ways that did not exist a generation ago. This episode covers Iowa pheasant and deer hunting, food plot management on small acreage, coyote calling, and why Randy believes patience and getting back to basics is what the hunting community needs most right now. A Hunter's Legacy is exactly where stories like his belong, from the guys who gave everything to the sport to the ones just getting started. Want to be a guest? Ready to share your hunting legacy?

    60: Hunting A Buck In Every State One Tag At A Time With Jackson Knight (Missouri)

    Jackson grew up on a family farm in Missouri watching his dad carry out the Bone Crusher, a Remington twelve gauge that had dropped more deer than either of them could count. He started tagging along before he could carry a gun, sat through three seasons as a passenger, and then on one random school morning looked out the back door and saw six deer feeding fifty yards from the house. He snuck to the truck, grabbed the guns, got on the deck, and shot his first deer at eighty yards. It hit the doe in the back end and dropped her where she stood. Jackson is not just a deer hunter. He owns Trapper Jack Pest Control, designs hunting properties, competes in Spartan endurance racing with a world championship appearance in Greece on his schedule, and holds a degree in wildlife conservation management. He has trapped everything from eighty pound beavers to a solid black coyote, caught fifty raccoons off one property in three weeks, and built food plots and habitat on his family's Missouri farm since he was eleven years old. He hunts deer across multiple states every year, chases elk points in Utah and Montana, and approaches every piece of ground with the same mindset he uses running fifty miles a week: put in the work and the results follow. This episode covers Missouri whitetail hunting, food plot design, habitat management, wildlife trapping, and what it looks like when somebody treats hunting as seriously as a profession. A Hunter's Legacy is built for guys like Jackson, everyday hunters who are all in on the resource and do not need a camera crew to make it worth showing up. Want to be a guest?

    59: Six Hunters On The Same Tom And A First Timer Caught In The Middle With Michael Bennett II (Missouri)

    Michael grew up in central Missouri watching his grandfather pull into the driveway with one-fifty and one-sixty inch bucks draped across the hood, wishing he could be part of it. His dad never hunted, but his grandpa taught himself in his thirties and passed everything down to Michael the moment he was old enough to sit still. By fifteen he was hunting solo with a bow, tagged his first deer on opening day, and spent the rest of that season stacking meat in the freezer. Then his grandpa took him turkey hunting, and something clicked that never let go. Michael is a turkey hunter first and everything else second. He has chased birds across Missouri, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Florida, and Montana, and he has built his permission network the old fashioned way, knocking on doors, buying the farmer's wife a bottle of wine, and earning every acre he sets foot on. He talks about losing his grandpa's property after his grandfather passed, what it felt like to shoot his first out of state bird the same day he got that phone call, and why that hunt changed the way he thinks about the turkey woods forever. He also walks through one of the most chaotic public land turkey hunts you will hear on this show, six hunters converging on the same gobbling bird from six different directions on a Missouri lake, with a first-timer sitting right in the middle of it all. This is a turkey hunting story rooted in Missouri ridge systems, river bottoms, and the kind of public land pressure that will either break you or make you better. A Hunter's Legacy is where stories like Michael's belong, from first-generation turkey hunters learning the hard way to guys who will walk twelve miles just to find where the birds went.
