It was an absolute pleasure to talk with Dan from @dc__outdoors . In this episode Dan talks about growing up in Alberta hunting & fishing and how he passes on the knowledge to his kids. He shares his inspiration and motivation behind his channel DC Outdoors and his passion for chasing game, bushcraft, camping, and cooking! Dan also goes into detail sharing the story of his son's first deer followed up by his buck shortly after in 2023. The story is an absolute rollercoaster of emotions. I look forward to talking to Dan again and hearing about what he and his family get up to this year! Be sure to check out DC Outdoors to keep up with all of his great content!

It was a pleasure to have Dr. Lee Foote on the podcast. Lee has spent his life working in the outdoors and teaching as a professor of Conservation Biology at the University of Alberta.

In this conversation Lee talks about growing up in the south and how his life and career brought him to hunting, fishing, and educating here in the north. Interwoven through the chat Lee shares many meaningful memories and stories that are loaded with knowledge and appreciation for our wild world. I look forward to having Dr. Foote back to dive deeper into many of the topics we covered.

It was a pleasure to sit down and talk with hosts Kaleb Diniz & Colton Melnyk from the "Just Wingn It" T.V. series! We talked about what got the guys into hunting and how the show came to fruition. Kaleb and Colton have no shortage of waterfowl and game bird knowledge that left us with a desire to get into a blind a.s.a.p.! We learned a ton from talking to these guys and they shared a couple unforgettable stories from their time in the field. Colton went into detail about getting up close with wolves while Kaleb reminessed on his first successful experience chasing waterfowl! We talked about their upcoming trade show and how  you can get involved by heading over to clippedwingstudios.org . Can't wait to have the guys back and pick their brains more about everything with wings.
