Send us a textAnna studies 6 languages. Has four degrees. Has lived in at least three countries. And for a living, she slaughters animals and butchers their meat for people to eat. I deeply enjoyed our conversation where we discussed life, death, knives, quantum theory and more than a little bit of nonsense. Anna Borgman is a rare individual. Give her a follow on instagram and leave us a review with your thoughts on this episode. It’s a dandy.Â

The Mental Game of Archery with John Appleton
Send us a textArchery is a mental game. Get good equipment that is well setup from a pro shop, develop the skills to use it and then the hard work begins of simply executing the same shot every time. In this episode we get into the mental side of archery. John Appleton is a veteran and archery pro shop owner who has been nationally ranked in multiple disciplines of target shooting. I encourage archery hunters to listen to this episode so they can start developing skills now so they’ll be ready when that moment arrives this fall.Â

Mountain Stream at Day Break
Send us a textNo words in this episode. Just a small mountain stream in the spring, tumbling over large boulders and winding through fallen logs into a pool where two redband rainbow trout dart from the shadows of a rock to eat passing nymphs. Birds singing as light drips down the side of the canyon. Give yourself the break you deserve and listen.Â

Trading Beers for Bighorns and Other Stories with Vic Coggins
Send us a textWe welcome back Vic Coggins for his second appearance on the show to talk about how he traded beer to wildlife biologists to reintroduce bighorn sheep into Oregon. Vic has been a wildlife biologist for close to 60 years now, and if it weren’t for him we might not have mountain goats, bighorns, turkey and more. He tells stories of the Wild West days of getting species from other places to introduce to Oregon. A program that was so successful that now Oregon gives wild sheep away to other states. You might also like Vic’s book which you can order online here.Â

Sailboat Living, Genetically Engineered Babies, and Manta Rays with Cody Sheehy
Send us a textCody Sheehy is an award winning documentary film maker who lives on a sailboat in Mexico. He broke the story about China genetically engineering and DNA editing babies, and is about to launch his next film about a Vietnam veteran who befriended a 22’ wide manta ray that would swim up to his boat, slap the side of it with its wing, and then swim with him. They did this together for 19 years. Excellent stories and a wide ranging conversation that was interesting in every moment.Â
