Alex DeBord always closes out the Talk About It Outdoors Podcast by saying “Mount the memories.” I believe we should all be doing that every day! When it comes to hunting, mounting the memories allows us to enjoy hunting 24/7/365. Robert Ruark: “The best thing about hunting and fishing,' the Old Man said, 'is that you don't have to actually do it to enjoy it. You can go to bed every night thinking about how much fun you had twenty years ago, and it all comes back clear as moonlight.” 2022 is goi...

In episode 21, I am glad to be joined by a couple WV hunters that are keeping it real, having fun, and keeping family hunting traditions alive.

In episode 20, I am joined by JD Neal. I came across JD some time ago on his YouTube channel, SelfMadeHunt, and I really appreciated the content and perspective.

He gets into the tradition of hunting passed to him by his grandfathers, his preparation and practice with his bow, and his determination to hunt all season long and to get th...
