In one of their most personal episodes yet, Bobby and Ian go deep on grief — what it looks like, how it shows up unexpectedly, and why men often struggle to name it. Bobby shares how picking up hunting again after years away brought a wave of unexpected grief for his late father, a Utah outdoorsman who first put a rifle in his hands. Ian opens up about losing Keith — his recovery mentor and the best deer hunter he ever knew — and the moment a peanut butter jar screwed to a tree nearly brought him to his knees on the day he killed the biggest buck of his life.

Together they explore the many faces of grief: the anger, the recklessness, the numbness, and the guilt. Ian speaks candidly about losing friends to addiction and how grief in recovery is relentless and cumulative. Bobby connects the dots between emotional numbness and unprocessed loss — and why the woods may be one of the few places men actually let themselves feel it.

This episode won't hand you a roadmap. But it will remind you that grief doesn't have to mean letting go — you can carry your legends with you.
