In this special episode, Mike is joined by his son, Casey, as they record live from the Virginia Outdoor Sportsman Show.

Fresh home from deployment, Casey shares what it's like to finally attend Virginia's premier outdoor show for the very first time. Together, Mike and Casey talk about the excitement of being surrounded by fellow hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, exhibitors, and everything that makes the Virginia Outdoor Sportsman show one of the region's can't-miss events.

This conversation also takes a nostalgic turn as Casey tell's one of his favorite hunting stories from his childhood - a memorable experience that helped shape his passion for the outdoors and created lasting memories with his dad. It's a heartfelt reminder of why hunting is about so much more than harvesting game - it's about family, tradition, and passing our outdoor heritage from one generation to the next.
