Episode 100: From a $15 Mic to a Multi-State Hunting Family

Episode 100 of Tracks & Tackle celebrates the journey from Ron’s poolside brainstorm with a $15 mic in June 2023 to a multi-state hunting collaborative with listeners across every continent except Antarctica, starting with a corny first episode featuring a nephew as his co-host, pushing through torrential downpour truck recordings and front-porch duck-call conversations, bringing in Kris through Camo Space after recognizing the same blue-collar deer-camp roots, then adding Josh after a catfishing episode and a church potluck meeting, and slowly building an online hunt camp stretching from Illinois to Arkansas where trail-cam pics get texted, kids like Peyton are celebrated like family, and friendships form without egos or gatekeeping—proving that even three years later they may not have it all figured out, but they’re having the time of their lives doing it together.
