Today we sit down with Eddie (@rags.to.ridges) to hear one of the most powerful comeback stories you’ll come across. After serving over 6 years for armed robbery, Eddie found bowhunting through magazines while behind bars—and made a decision to change his life.

Since his release, he’s gone all-in on the outdoors, fatherhood, and the pursuit of becoming a bowhunter. This conversation is raw, real, and a reminder of what’s possible when you commit to a new path.

We also take a hard turn into what’s happening right now with Washington State Fish and Wildlife—unpacking concerns around leadership, decision-making, and the growing disconnect between hunters and those in charge.

This episode isn’t just a story—it’s a call to action.If you care about the future of hunting and wildlife conservation, it’s time to get off the sidelines and get involved.

Consider supporting organizations fighting for hunters and conservation:
