They dive deep into the fabrics, fit, and function behind each piece — why Aris chose the materials he did, how the cuts are designed for real mountain movement, and what separates this line from other options on the market. Later, Kenneth shifts gears and gives a boots-on-the-ground update on Wyoming deer herd conditions — what he’s seeing, how recent winters and moisture levels have impacted populations, and what hunters should realistically expect heading into upcoming seasons.

Wildlife policy battles are heating up across the country. In this episode, the Big Hunt Guys sit down with Charles Whitwam of Howl For Wildlife to discuss their recent documentary "Killing Catalina" and the Catalina Island Conservancy's plan to eradicate all mule deer on the island in the name of habitat restoration, reduce wildfire risk, and to benefit other wildlife species due to an "overpopulation" of deer. Later the guys talk with Dane Gates of CRWM about Colorado legislation that threatens trapping, fur markets, and rodent control tools. Dan also offers a current update on the reintroduction of wolves in Colorado. We explore how these efforts gained traction, why they matter beyond state lines, and how hunters can engage before ballot initiatives permanently reshape conservation.
