From Prison to Public Land Conservation

What happens when hunting becomes more than a hobby?

In this episode, Eric sits down with Eddie Boyer of Rags to Ridges for an incredibly honest and vulnerable conversation. Eddie shares his journey from prison life to discovering purpose through hunting, public land, faith, photography, and the outdoors.

What started with hunting magazines behind bars eventually turned into a complete life shift centered around self-reflection, personal growth, conservation, and chasing adventure in the Pacific Northwest.

This episode dives into:

• Finding hunting later in life
• Prison, redemption, and second chances
• Public land conservation
• Stoicism and personal growth
• Faith and spirituality in the outdoors
• Blacktail deer, mule deer, and western hunting
• Mental health and solitude in nature
• Why hunting can genuinely change lives

This is one of those conversations that goes way beyond deer hunting.
