One Last Hurrah

Deer season is coming to a quick close. With Cottonmouth being shutdown from the high water, we are headed to high ground for one more deer trip. Our hopes are to end the season on a much-needed high note.

I Hope You've Got Your Hip Boots On

Despite how much we had all hoped for a good river year, once again the mighty Mississippi River is on the rise.

We have one afternoon left to hunt before we have to pack up and head to higher ground. Join us as we talk about the daily struggles of high water and also answer some questions sent in by listeners.
