We're staying internal on this one to discuss our recent 'viral' clip about the ethics of bear baiting. Spoiler Alert: Ozarkers are divided (and why that's not such a bad thing). We also dig into hunter decline and why some of the numbers need clarifying! Enjoy.

In honor of the spooky season, we're talking Ozark folklore with our good buddy Mr. Tad Moore and a father to the show (quite literally) Mr. Keith Veit, both of whom are multi-generational Ozarkers and storytellers. We'll be diving into the history of folklore itself, the rumored creatures out in our woods, and the superstitious nature of our kinfolk. This is one of our favorite episodes we've ever done! Enjoy.
