Average Joe's Outdoor Stories

In this episode I talk with Ken Barnett who is married to my second cousin Summer.  Ken loves the outdoors most notably when he is fishing and playing golf.  Ken talks about his family lake he fishes,  a particular jersey he wears and yes his love for Alabama football! There is even a Ken & Barbie reference!

This episode I talk to Jason McMeen.   We grew up in the same town but did not know each other until we met where we worked at the time. Jason lives on a farm where he grew up and learned all about the outdoors.  He has quite the stories which all evolve around his land and his family. They range from slaughtering hogs after Thanksgiving, managing his two ponds, or taking his boys hunting in the back field.  What a great listen to what all goes on around his porch!

This is the first of what I will call a "snack" episode for the podcast.  We all love our snacks when we are hunting and fishing.  This is just a quick story about who introduced me to fishing and ignited my love of the hobby.

My guest for this episode is Scotty Tate.  He is several years older than me and we grew up in the same area but we did not really hang out when we were younger.  I got to know his father over the years leading to me and Scotty becoming friends over the last several years.   Scotty has some unique stories to tell!

In this episode I interview a friend by the name of Dan Denton.  Dan helped introduce me to duck hunting a few years back.  Dan loves to hunt as he puts it, "Anything I can call."  Dan recounts his days of learning to hunt from his family and also his love of hunting with his children.  His wife Melissa is a pretty darn good golfer as well!

In this episode I speak to a good friend Tyler Goostree about his love of hunting along with juggling family duties.  Also what it means to teach his two girls his passion for hunting.  We also discuss who in Tyler's life inspired this passion for hunting and the outdoors and why in the world an avid duck hunter would sell his duck boat?  Lets find out.

This conversation is with my long time great friend Josh Fralix.  He is a veteran of the Marines who I have known for 30 years.  He talks about how his grandfather laid the groundwork for his love of hunting and fishing.

My guest on the first episode is a long time friend of mine Mitch Williamson.  I have learned a lot from him over the years when it comes to hunting and fishing.  Mitch has a wonderful family and he is teaching them all about the outdoors.  Hopefully you will find our stories entertaining and maybe enlightening?  Enlightening? Probably not! lol
