Bear Tracks & Good Company: A Conversation with Jessica Evans

In this laid-back and personal episode of Wild Things & Wild Places, we welcome Jessica Evans...hunter, business owner, and all-around outdoor enthusiast from Rock Springs, Wyoming. Jessica pulls up a chair and shares her story in a way that feels like you're right there beside her in the field, on the mountain, or at the truck tailgate after a long day outdoors.

She walks us through her early memories of hunting with her parents, how she found her own path in the sport after college, and the thrill of her first antelope hunt. But it's not just about the harvest—it's about what you learn along the way. Jessica opens up about her experience diving into predator hunting and navigating the backlash that sometimes comes with being a woman who hunts, especially on social media.

We also dig into her side hustle-turned-business, Whiskey Goats—a brand that started as a nickname and has grown into a storefront and lifestyle. Jessica talks about how time spent on public lands shaped her love for Wyoming's wild places, and how that connection fuels everything she does.

This conversation goes beyond gear and tags... it's about the deeper meaning of the hunt. From emotional highs to unforgettable moments in the field, and a lot of laughs...the group reflects on what makes hunting such a powerful and personal experience.

If you love real conversations about hunting, conservation, and the grit behind the glory, this episode is for you.
