In this fascinating interview episode of the OutThere Colorado Podcast, Spencer McKee chats with John LaConte – award-winning investigative journalist and author of 'Notorious Hunter Sir St. George Gore: Deadly Legacy in Colorado.'

With many landmarks around central Colorado bearing the Sir St. George Gore name, he's a character that tends to be best known for a lengthy 1850s hunting expedition that traveled through the American West in which he said to have slaughtered 1,000s of animals for sport. In this conversation, LaConte takes listeners on a deep dive into what's fact and what's fiction related to that story, sharing a Wild West tale that's fit for the Hollywood screen.
