## Resource

This truly touching episode of Wild Things & Wild Places brings listeners into the heart of the Muley Fanatic Foundation's Putting the U in Hunt program — a life-changing experience for youth facing life-threatening or terminal illnesses. Hosts Joey Faigl and Janet Crofts sit down with longtime volunteers John Grossnickle and Jason Faigl , who share deeply personal stories from their years helping with these special hunts. From emotional first encounters to unforgettable moments in the field, this conversation highlights the compassion, teamwork, and purpose that drive everyone involved. You'll hear how the program brings families together, creates lasting friendships, and shows what can happen when people unite for something bigger than themselves. It's a reminder that sometimes, a single hunt can change many lives. Learn more about the Muley Fanatic Foundation and the Putting the U in Hunt program at www.muleyfanatic.org.
