Join Alex Rutledge and Redbone on American Roots Outdoors as they welcome Missouri Conservation Agent Brad Hadley and Wise Eye Technologies CEO Harold Monk. Brad breaks down Missouri's hunting history from the first 1944 deer season to today's declining hunter recruitment, and debunks a viral fake MDC news release about fining drivers for hitting deer. Harold shares Wise Eye's latest trail camera innovations, including AI-powered picture filtering and the game-changing DC2 camera. The show wraps with a bonus segment on Cajun cooking — gumbo, roux, andouille sausage, and the perfect way to feed a hunting camp.

This week on American Roots Outdoors, Alex Rutledge sits down with legendary whitetail hunter Spook Spann — a man with 22 Boone & Crockett bucks over 200 inches taken with a bow, and a hunting career spanning from Canada to Mexico. Spook shares the mental preparation and visualization techniques he learned as an athlete that translate directly to archery success, the incredible story of his greatest hunt (a 230-inch Kansas buck stalked at six yards), and surviving a helicopter crash while sheep hunting in Kyrgyzstan. Plus, conservation agent Brad Hadley joins to break down Missouri hunting regulations and the dangers of relying on AI for legal advice. The bonus segment features Spook and Marty's favorite venison recipes and the story of his latest mule deer kill. Whether you're a seasoned hunter or just love a great outdoor story, this episode is packed with passion, faith, and dedication.
