First off, the Harvesting Nature crew and I want to wish you all a safe and happy Independence Day in the US and a happy Canada Day in Canada!

We are also using this week for a little break from our normally scheduled podcasts in order to celebrate, get outdoors, and enjoy nature. I hope you find a little time to fire up the BBQ, grab your pack for a hike, or get out on the water for some fishing. I also want to thank the men and women of our military branches past and present. Thanks to you and your families for the sacrifices you have made to our nation. Happy 4th of July! I hope that this next year launches a time of equality, health, and resolve within our great country.

For all of you regular listeners, you may have figured out that last week’s episode marked our 20th episode of the podcast. We want to take chance to close out season one and kick off season two next week. We promise that season two is going to be even more entertaining with more awesome guests, adventure tales, and of course wild fish and game cooking conversation. So stay tuned and get ready for another wild season!

One last reminder that our current cooking giveaway ends tonight, July 1st. We will be announcing the winner tomorrow, July 2nd, via social media. Don’t worry though, you still have time to enter to possibly win a Weston Meat grinder, a signed Eat Wild Game cookbook, and some badass Traeger sauces and seasonings. CLICK HERE TO ENTER

I want to give a quick shout out to all the Harvesting Nature crew for all of the hard work you put in behind the scenes and to all of our guests that have joined the podcast over the last few months. We have all very much enjoyed the great conversation. Cheers to another season!

As always we invite you to subscribe on whatever podcast platform you use and to punch those five stars. Leave us a review to tell us your favorite moments from season 1 and what you want to hear in season two!
