He once got stuck in the mud so bad it took him an hour and a shotgun to dig himself out. That’s Cray Weirich—an Iowa boy who’s as handy with a wrench as he is with a bow. Born and raised in the farmland of southwest Iowa, Cray now balances work, marriage, and muddy waders while still chasing whitetails and flushing pheasants any chance he gets.
In this episode, Cray and Mitchell swap stories from the tree stand and the CRP—like the cold morning their dogs caught roosters bare-mouthed, or the hill they called “the sum b****” during one brutal deer drive in northeast Iowa. Cray also opens up about what got him into bowhunting in college, how he’s navigating post-EHD seasons, and what it’s like mentoring a kid who’s just getting his hunting legs.
From misfires and missed birds to busted blinds and generational memories, this one’s a laid-back ride through the seasons. Pull up a chair—feels like a morning at deer camp.
