Our conversation with Hutley Sheppard truly left us speechless. In this episode Hutley goes into detail about the AHA Shed Hunters Foundation. He speaks about who they help, the amazing things they contribute to those in need, and how you and other members of the community play a vital role in changing people's lives through the organization. Hutleys personal story shines through as he speaks about the motivation behind starting AHA. Just when we thought the conversation couldn't get any better he hit us with his recent wild boar harvest and how he escaped being charged multiple times while out with his son. Hutley further blew our minds with his 2023 elk story and then continued to tell us about a year in which his success was unmatched.

It is always a pleasure to catch up with Spencer Miller! Spencer first hopped on the podcast back in episode #7 where he shared the story of his brother and him taking a black bear & Spencer's first solo archery bull elk hunt. In this episode Spencer shares his unique 2023/24 successes that started with a velvet mule deer during opening weekend of bow season and ended in the deep freeze of the late cow elk season. The stories and contrasts from both hunts are a great example of everything you can experience while hunting Alberta and the variety of skills one needs to be able to find success throughout the year. Looking forward to what Spencer gets into next and hearing from the man again! Be sure to give him a follow to get inspired @spencermilla25

It was awesome to sit down and have Casey share some stories from his time in the field. From his upbringing to his current endeavors outdoors with friends and family, Casey has no shortage of remarkable encounters. In this episode, he talks about many of his unforgettable hunts and goes into detail about his double header during deer season this past fall, and his recent late season elk hunt in the frigid cold. Casey is well versed in his knowledge of the woods, and I learned a ton from just listening to him talk. I can't wait to catch up with the man again in a future episode. Until then be sure to check out his content @huntin_the_pines and follow him on his journey in our Albertan wilderness.

I was stoked to have Justin Mathieson ( @rackncast ) on the pod & in this episode, he shared some unforgettable stories. If you don't already know this local Albertan, Justin is an avid hunter, angler, shed hunter, and outdoorsman. We talked about his love for shed hunting, being charged by a grizzly, and taking 2 sparring bucks with his father. Justin has been going through some health related difficulties that people would never know about as his personal strength and outlook on life are far better than many. His attributes contribute to his well-rounded perspective of life and the outdoors. All of his achievements may make him look like he's lucky. However, those who know him know every piece of his success is earned through dedication and miles put on in the field. I always look forward to catching up with him and am already stoked to have him back again. To see & hear more about Justin be sure to check out @rackncast

For those that remember, Megan joined me on episode #17, where she shared her first bear hunt and an unforgettable moose story with her kids by her side. She also got her start in archery in a very unique way. Once I saw her take a bull moose this past fall, followed by her first buck with a bow, I knew we needed to tall again! In this episode, she goes into immense detail about what both success stories were like and what she took from them. We also finally talked about her love for shed hunting and some of her once in a lifetime finds. I can't wait to see what Megan gets into next with her bow and to have her back to hear the story!

I was stoked to have Zack on and hear about his life both on the rink and in the outdoors! We talked about Zacks hockey career from being born in Calgary Alberta to present, including his time in the NHL playing for The Vegas Golden Knights, multiple AHL teams, WHL, & currently playing in the Europen league "Liiga" for Vaasan Sport in Finland. Zack also runs Hayz Outdoors and provides the outdoor community with exceptional writing and apparel stemming from his love for hunting, fishing, and conservation. During the conversation, Zack told his most memorable hockey and hunting stories and shared what his experience of both has been like in Europe. We also touched on topics including the Great Grizzly Debate and the recent eradication of the invasive Fallow deer from Sidney Island.
