Join Curtis and Lauren as they dive into all things Wisconsin’s Women’s Trap Camp after Lauren participated back in late March! They begin with an overview of the camp, its history, goals, and successes with camp coordinator, Jenna Malinowski, and then hear about the camp from another participant’s perspective as Lauren interviews Alison Gnesda, her roommate from the weekend!

Trap Camp 2026 will be held March 20-22, 2026!

In this episode we go over our trip to the Shawnee National Forest as we tried to get some Hunt Camp winners on some birds for the first time this spring. Hear how we adjusted to the weather conditions and came so close to bringing home a big southern IL tom. Kelly's Instagram account: / kellyintothewild
