This week, we bring you a collaborative episode with Panhandle Whitetails Podcast from our 2025 Veteran Hunt Camp in West Virginia! This year's Veteran Hunter, Robert Reeder had an unfulfilled dream to deer hunt one day, and with the help of many partners we were able to make that dream a reality! We were also able to surprise him by bringing in his best friend and the guy who nominated him for this hunt, David Schumer. For this podcasts, our Hunt Hosts Mike Petrosky and Lawson McKee sit down with these guys at the conclusion of an awesome weekend to recap their experiences and tell their story. We are always honored to be able to give back to those who have served our country, and this year was incredible to say the least!

Colorado hunting and science-based wildlife management have been in the crosshairs for years, and things are not looking any better. This week's guest is Josh Wamboldt, a Colorado resident, outfitter, and by self-initiation a subject matter expert on the wolf reintroduction efforts and management practices currently happening in his State. Josh is very vocal about not being strictly "anti-wolf", but he has many concerns and issues with how Colorado has handled their wolf populations, and the practices they execute moving forward. We talk in detail about all the events, adjustments and migrations pertaining to wolf populations since the reintroduction, where Colorado is failing wildlife and residents with the current situations, and other factors and rumors surrounding CWD, their impact on other species and ranchers, and more. This is a very education conversation, and recorded as a live episode with active audience engagement we are happy to share this very informative discussion.

We all know the whitetail grind. Year after year, around the clock and through all the seasons putting in the work hoping it will one day pay off on a monster buck. Very few work as hard as Ryan Reading; running dozens of cameras, studying deer patterns, and waiting to take the perfect moment and opportunity once it presents itself. For Ryan, it all came down to the 2025 rut and watching his giant target buck moving towards him from a stand he never thought he would see that deer from. Ryan joins us to tell the story, along with Mike Petrosky who was with him for the emotional recovery of the giant buck. Monsters do exist, and dreams can come true.
