This week on Wild Faith, I’m joined by Shane Simpson — hunter, tracker, and founder of TRAKR — for a deep dive into early season bowhunting and deer recovery. We kick things off catching up on life and hearing about Shane’s first hunts of the year before getting into his background — from growing up hunting with family to tracking wounded deer each season with his dog, Callie.
Shane shares insight on early-season whitetail patterns, the biggest mistakes bowhunters make in October, and how things like pressure and temperature affect movement. We also talk about how tracking has changed his approach to hunting, his dive into traditional archery, and what’s new with the TRAKR app that’s helping connect hunters and trackers across the country.
If you’re into bowhunting, whitetails, deer tracking, or learning how tech and tradition come together in the woods, you’ll love this one.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
