    A Hunt to Remember: Dave Kavanah’s Journey with Raven’s Unforgettable Experience

    In this heartfelt episode of Wild Things and Wild Places, host Josh welcomes his dear friend Dave Kavanah, the Chair of the Blue Ridge Chapter of the Muley Fanatic Foundation.

Raven was at the center of a deeply meaningful trip that included a visit to Washington, D.C., and a two-day hunting adventure in Maryland. With the dedicated support of community members and guides like Jake Shaffer of Branded Outdoors, the trip became more than just an excursion, it transformed into a celebration of love, resilience, and family... oh and lots of fun!  The episode dives into the challenges families face when dealing with life-threatening illnesses, the importance of community support, and the profound impact of creating cherished moments. A touching voicemail at the end of this episode from Jeremy, expressing his gratitude, underscores the emotional depth and lasting significance of this unforgettable experience.

Joining us is Scott Hampel, the Director of Operations for the Muley Fanatic Foundation in Colorado, to provide insights into this controversial proposal.
