In a world filled with fast-paced, ever-changing trends and technologies, there's something profoundly refreshing about sitting down with a living legend like Neil Aitken. Born on January 23, 1931, Neil's life has been woven with the threads of history, and in the latest special episode of "Wild Things & Wild Places," we have the privilege of experiencing both the main episode and an intimate campfire chat with Neil Aitken. This unique episode is a tribute to a true master of the hunting world. Neil Aitken's dedication to the art of hunting has earned him a well-deserved reputation as the G.O.A.T (Greatest of All Time). In fact, last March at Mule Deer Days 2023, Neil was recognized as the Life Member of the Year, a testament to his lifetime of commitment to this age-old tradition and to Mule Deer. Listening to Neil speak, you're immediately struck by the authenticity and raw honesty in his storytelling. He doesn't sugarcoat his experiences or his emotions. You'll hear him talk fondly of his late wife and the cherished memories they created together during their hunting adventures. These tales are a testament to the deep connection that hunting can forge between people and the natural world. What makes this special episode even more remarkable is Neil's unbroken record of never missing a hunting season up until just three years ago. His determination and passion for the hunt are nothing short of inspiring. It's a reminder that the things we love can remain with us, even as the years pass. One of the most captivating aspects of this episode is Neil's recounting of the gear he used in his early days as a hunter. It's like taking a step back in time and discovering the roots of modern hunting. For those who are just starting their hunting journey or have been at it for years, Neil's advice and insights are priceless.  Neil's stories are not just a history lesson but a living, breathing testament to a way of life that may not be around for much longer. As more people turn to convenience and grocery stores for their meat, Neil's tales remind us of a time when our ancestors relied on game meat for survival after the war. It's a part of our heritage and a connection to nature that shouldn't be forgotten. So, if you haven't already, take the time to listen to this special podcast episode.
