In this episode, the In Seezyn crew gathers around the mic to talk all things Kansas as we gear up for our upcoming archery whitetail hunt, right in the heart of the rut. We break down hunt plans, share what we’re expecting from Midwest deer behavior this time of year, and dive into the strategy and excitement that comes with chasing mature bucks in November.

What We Cover in This Episode:

• Our Kansas Game Plan: Stand setups, winds, access, and what we’re prioritizing this season.

Why Kansas?

In this episode of the In Seezyn Podcast, we sit down with a few friends who have faced one of the toughest challenges imaginable, not in the woods, but in their own bodies. These men share their deeply personal journeys with undiagnosed and mismanaged Lyme disease, recounting the year of frustration, missed answers, and the ongoing fight for proper treatment.

As outdoorsmen who love the wild, their stories highlight not only the struggles but also the resilience and determination it takes to keep doing what they love despite chronic illness. We dive into:

• The first signs and symptoms of Lyme disease that often go overlooked
• The challenges of navigating a healthcare system that frequently mismanages the condition
• Treatment plans, what’s working, and the long road to recovery
• Practical prevention tips every hunter, angler, or outdoor enthusiast should know to reduce the risk of tick-borne illness
• Why staying connected to the outdoors is so important, even in the face of hardship

This conversation is raw, honest, and full of valuable insights for anyone who spends time in the woods. Whether you’ve battled Lyme disease yourself or just want to better protect yourself and your loved ones, this episode will leave you informed, encouraged, and grateful for the bond we all share in the outdoors.

Listen in, share with your hunting buddies, and help spread awareness—because protecting our health is just as important as protecting our hunting traditions.
