Fall Obsession Podcast

Pronghorn hunting is a special passion of ours, but to have the opportunity to hunt and take one in TEXAS is not very common!  Our good friend Kelley Cato returns to the podcast for another episode, with yet another amazing story in store!  Kelley already accomplished the rare feat of taking a Texas Bighorn Ram (Fall Obsession Podcast Episodes 61 & 62), and this year he has embarked on the journey of completing both his Grand Slam, and his Texas Slam, starting with the Pronghorn.  Kelley tells us about how this unique opportunity came alone, the drastic differences he found as a whitetail hunter now hunting pronghorn, and more.  Sam & Kelley also tape out and score his pronghorn right here on the podcast (YouTube video coming separately).  Don't miss this one of a kind episode as we continue to capture Kelley's journey!
