Who's someone who's passed on that's taught you a lot about hunting or got you into hunting? Is there someone you'd like to pay tribute to? Drop a comment on our Shedding Light Outdoor Facebook page or Instagram. We'd be honored to hear who that was for you. 

Today's guest is Ben Reibel who was on Ep. 2 in 2019. Ben comes on to tell an amazing story about how he was able to end his season in Illinois on a special day in a special location. Hope you enjoy!

Today we hear some incredible hunting stories from Justin Stuva of Illinois. Justin is an avid bowhunter, forager, and recently become a trapper. We hear the amazing story of the buck that was a doe and how that unfolded. Justin also talks about why the word "just" needs to be taken out of our hunting vocabulary. Stay tuned to the end of the show to hear my take on how that word needs to be removed from other parts of our lives as well.
