Outdoors with AJ

In this episode of outdoors podcast, my neighbor, Richie Sewell and I sit down to talk about his true passion, hunting.  I ask Richie a whole slew of questions about hunting turkeys, deer, bigger game like elk and moose and more.  He's a wealth of knowledge and filled in a ton of the gaps that I was really curious about. Have you ever wondered how much deer tags cost?  How about how much is costs...

Neil Sanders has been my buddy for over 30 years now and we've done the gammit outside.  We've climbed 14ers in CO, canoed in Kentucky, slept in caves and played every outdoor sport you can imagine. We had a great conversation about his love for the west, his families cabin in CO and fly fishing.  

Jayson is one of my best friends and a guy that genuinely loves to be outside.  He's spent that last three years really getting into endurance racing sports like triathalons and bike races.  Most recently he completed a 100 mile bike ride in southern missouri.  We talk about all sorts of things on this episode including some camping trips we've taken together.
