With a wealth of hunting experiences to draw from, Samson and Sam share their tales of successes and failures in the wild. They reminisce about their favorite hunting stories, touching on unconventional methods like hunting ducks with AK-47s and decapitating grouse with a side-by-side. 

They explore the profound lessons that hunting imparts, emphasizing the importance of teaching the youth about the circle of life through hunting and the values it instills. The discussion veers toward culinary pleasures, with a shared love for wild game tongues and hearts.
