Recorded outdoors while seam‑sealing a tent, this episode follows Dad, and Joe through a jam‑packed Texas hunting trip — from a surprising blackjack win and Scheel’s shopping to scouting, high‑fence stands and dove shooting.

The heart of the story is Dad’s 40th‑birthday hunt: an unforgettable sit among an ocean of deer, a shaky shot at a massive mainframe 10, a dog‑led blood trail and a dramatic recovery. The episode closes with reflections on high‑fence ethics, gear/bullet choices, and plans for future hunts.
