    Fighting for Our Hunting Traditions: Naomi Hersh on Colorado Amendment 83

    On this episode of Free Castin, we're joined by Naomi Hersh for a conversation that goes well beyond hunting dogs. We get to know Naomi, the woman behind the fight, and talk about her life as a wife, mother of two, and passionate outdoorswoman. We discuss how her family and outdoor lifestyle have shaped her perspective and what motivates her to stand up for the hunting community. From there, we get into how Naomi became involved in protecting hunters and fighting back against organized anti-hunting efforts that threaten our traditions and outdoor way of life. Then we tackle the big topic: Colorado's Amendment 83. What is Amendment 83? Why does it matter? What could it mean for hunters, houndsmen, and the future of wildlife management? We discuss the concerns, the potential consequences, and why hunters across the country should be paying attention. This is a conversation about family, hunting, advocacy, and what happens when the people who enjoy our traditions don't stand up to protect them. Whether you're a houndsman, guide, weekend hunter, or simply someone who believes in preserving our outdoor heritage, this is an episode worth listening to. The question is simple: If we don't stand up for our hunting traditions, who will? Thanks to Naomi Hersh for joining us! Subscribe, share the episode, and join the conversation.

    Hound rigs and the supplies you need W/ Rowdy Houndsman!

    HOUND RIGS & EQUIPMENT — WHAT DO YOU REALLY NEED? What’s in your hound rig? On this episode of Free Castin, we're talking about the trucks, dog boxes, tools, and equipment that houndsmen depend on when they head to the woods. From the basics like a good dog box and plenty of water, to the things you may not think about until something goes wrong — CB radios, tire repair kits, tools, spare equipment, batteries, and emergency gear — we're breaking down what belongs in a dependable hound rig. We also get into the difference between what you actually need and what you just want, building a rig on a budget, old-school setups versus modern equipment, and some of the gear that can make a long night in the woods a whole lot easier. And of course, we want to hear from you. If you could only have 10 pieces of equipment in your hound rig, what would they be? This is a conversation about the equipment that keeps us hunting, keeps our dogs taken care of, and helps us get back home when things don't go according to plan.

    POSSIBLE WORLD RECORD LEOPARD — THE STORY BEHIND THE HUNT

    On this episode of Free Castin, we’re taking you to Africa for an incredible conversation with the hunter behind what may be a world-record leopard. We start with the hunt itself — how the leopard was found, the tracking, the preparation, the people involved, the challenges along the way, and what it was like when the opportunity finally came together. But this episode goes much deeper than the hunt. We also take a hard look at what happens when hunters travel to Africa and spend money on a safari. Where does that money go? How much stays in the local community? What do the trackers, guides, camp workers and other local people gain from hunting? And what does regulated hunting mean for wildlife conservation and the people who live alongside these animals? We talk about the specific community where this hunt took place and the relationship between wildlife, hunting and the people who call these areas home. This is a story about an incredible leopard, an unforgettable hunt, and the much bigger picture behind hunting in Africa. The hunt. The leopard. The people. The conservation. The story behind the trophy. This is Free Castin — Hounds, Mules & Everything In Between. Listen in, and hear the story straight from the hunter himself. #FreeCastin #LeopardHunting #AfricanHunting #Africa #Hunting #Conservation #BigGameHunting #Houndsmen #Safari #WorldRecordLeopard
