We touch that spot within our viewers and readers where Nostalgia meets Next. The story is everything for me. Above the door to my office, I have a sign that says “Story,” just to remind me every time I walk in.

Watch for these recurring characters.
Texas Jack Morales is one of the O.G.s of the Single Action Shooting Society. A horse trader, an enthusiast of the Colt six-shooter and the 45 Government Model, he is fast and smooth. You might not recognize him from Rooster Cogburn or a dozen other Westerns, but he was there doing the hard things like riding the Bronc and falling off the roof of a saloon.
In the Single Action Shooting Society and Wild Bunch 3-gun competition, they call him Last Chance Morales. They also call him Chance Koch, of Redmond, Oregon, and they call him world champion with 11 titles between 2009 and 2020. Sometimes, you can find him shooting with fellow Wild Bunch members or in USPSA competition at the COSSA Park east of Bend, but it would be hard to find a more enthusiastic turkey hunter.
The Juan and The Only. From Puerto Rico to the Right Coast and the Lost Garden of Eden, podcaster (The Juan On Juan Podcast) and deep thinker Juan Ayala make a guest appearance in a mangrove swamp.
Thank you for your nervouse. Thomas Gorence is the Paranoid American, looking over his shoulder while he edits and publishes comic books, telling the stories that were never supposed to be said.
At turns sullen and morose or jovial and jokester, Scott Schendel, is the best bow-fisherman on the boat.
Three-hundred-sixty-two days out of each year, Levi Mallory lives, breathes, eats, and sleeps whitetail deer hunting. On the other two days, he likes to hunt for turkey. On leap years, he takes the time to fish for crappie. No one knows whitetails better.
“I was made for this.” Brian R. Smith was made to drink bourbon, smoke cigars, and shoot birds. A deep thinker and a bad songwriter, he can always be counted on to be bleeding by the end of the episode.
Pog. He got his name from that little piece of a milk bottle top, so you better take this hard-charging helicopter pilot, hunting guide, rugby-playing jet boat operator seriously.
Surrounded by type-A women, Tracy Wilson has learned to keep his mouth shut, do what he is told, carry fine rifles, and shoot them well. Don’t expect him to talk a lot, but do expect him to pull his weight.
Chris Sulak, a.k.a. CJ the DJ. Stand-up comedian-funny. You can count on him to show up when he says he will and count on him to drink too much and eat too much cheese the day before the trip, so he will be constipated while you’re trying to catch a sturgeon. But he tells you about it with a smile on his face.
