In this episode of Horrible People Podcast, we sit down with Wes David, a man who has worn many hats—from ranching and rodeo to mechanics and then finally professional fishing and advocacy. Join us as Wes shares his incredible journey, starting with his roots in the ranch and rodeo world and his eventual transition into outdoor TV and writing.

We explore how his love for the outdoors led to the creation of Fish the Wild West TV, a show that has evolved alongside the landscape of outdoor entertainment. Wes also sheds light on the importance of educating youth about outdoor activities like hunting and fishing, and the vital role conservation plays in sustaining these traditions.

From challenges facing modern hunters and fishers to the growing importance of community in the conservation of outdoor sports, this episode covers it all. Tune in to hear Wes’s unique perspective on how we can all play a part in preserving the natural world we love.
