Episode 75: Chronic Wasting Disease

On this episode, Mike and Kelly tackle Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) after hearing that the disease recently showed up in the province of Quebec. CWD is something that we as hunters need to keep a close eye on, especially today as it continues to pop in new locations throughout North America and even Europe. 

They also jump into lighter topics including bone broth, a recent hunt and somehow moose testicles manage to make their way into another episode.
