New episode! This one's very personal and important to us: We share stories from our bear hunts that were shaped by different challenges, a hypothetical sasquatch encounter, and interview WNC district biologist Justin McVey about this historic new hunting opportunity in the North Carolina mountains

TFW your art's up at a rad venue

I didn't know about the name "chickaree". Why're they called that?

He doesnt know it, but @mattstansberry.bsky.social is the sexiest cryptid in the woods.

Had an amazing time at the 10th annual Death Faire, Pittsboro NC 💀🌹

At the artist reception for Death Faire at the Plant w/ @dangerwood.bsky.social and other artists selected for the exhibition. Fun event and great art on display. Current favorite (other than Sarah’s) is Millicent Gomez’s magical broom piece Threshold of the Ancestors www.theplantnc.com/deathfaire
