In 1910, Congress seriously considered importing hippos into Louisiana to clear invasive water plants and create a new meat source nicknamed "Lake Cow Bacon." Allegedly Theodore Roosevelt was a fan of the idea. Wade breaks down the real history, why it never happened, and what Texas's own invasive species history with wild hogs and aoudad sheep says about how this could have gone. If you're a game warden or wildlife official with stories about species introduction, come on the podcast. Visit allymunitions.com for ammo, optics & gear.

Brian and Lindsay Oxford of Titty Deep Outdoors join Wade for a conversation about how Lindsay went from never hunting or fishing to drawing New Mexico elk tags, wading Matagorda Bay for redfish, and building a platform for women in the outdoors that's actually genuine. Plus, the origin of the name Titty Deep, nine days in elk country on a torn calf muscle, prairie dogs vs miniature coyotes, beaver for dinner, BPC-157 and NAD for hunting injuries, and the plan to open First Light Guide Service in Rockport.

listener Tyler B. asks for flow through suppressor recommendations for an 18 inch proof 6 ARC, a 12.5 six ARC upper, and a Daniel Defense 11.5 five five six. Wade breaks down why his current data is outdated with so many new suppressors hitting the market post-zero dollar tax stamp, what Huxwrx and Cat Noah have been running on the Ally Munitions test platforms, why flow throughs are still the only answer on semi-auto platforms regardless of the noise debate, and what to expect from upcoming suppressor testing mid to late summer.

Wade and Brooke sit down with Kelly Godfrey and Sandy Wilson from Texas Women's Outdoors. An organization built to get women off the sidelines and into the field. They cover how TWO went from a Facebook group to a full LLC and nonprofit foundation, the events and mentored hunts they run across Texas, scholarships, and why just showing up is the hardest and most important step. Plus: game processing at home, wild game cooking, bowfishing, and a conversation about what it would take to add predator hunting to the TWO lineup.

listener Logan V. asks whether to rebarrel his Tikka T3X into a 22 Creedmoor or 6 Creedmoor for predators, mule deer and potentially elk, shooting factory only, 18 inch barrel, suppressed, proficient to 600 yards. Wade breaks down why things have changed since the original 2023 podcast, what Hornady's factory ammo support means for both cartridges, and why the elk question tips the scales toward the 6 Creed. Plus, what being proficient to 600 yards actually requires from a marksmanship standpoint. 22 Creedmoor and 6 Creedmoor ammo available at allymunitions.com.
