In this episode we sit down with Tana's brother, Tom Schneider of Stuck N The Rut to discuss his wolf hunting escapades.

It all started in 2011 when the Idaho wolf hunting season opened. Tana and Tom set out on a deer hunt that quickly turned into a wolf hunt. Since then, Tom has spent years studying their behaviors and patterns to figure out the best way to hunt them. He talks about the "why" behind wolf hunting and how we can sustain our future ungulate populations, which have been dwindling since the wolves moved in.

Tune in today to hear Part 1 of some hair-raising stories about Tom being chased by wolves, and how he still stalks alphas in the thick, dark timbers of Idaho.
