141 CJ Alexander – The Podcasters

Wrapping up the CJ Alexander series, we sit down with Christian Babcock and Jake Gaylord, the dynamic duo behind the popular Hunters Advantage podcast. In early 2024, Alexander made a memorable appearance on their podcast, spinning his well-worn underdog tale of an unbelievably lucky trophy buck - a tale that took a dramatic turn when it was later revealed he had already confessed to poaching it.  Our Sponsors: Thin GreenLine PodcastDon NoyesChevroletNorthAmerican Game Warden MuseumHunt RegsSecureItGun StorageXS Sights“A Cowboy inthe Woods” BookMaine'sOperation Game ThiefInternationalWildlife CrimestoppersHere’s what we discuss:·        Christian posts, then removes, a video questioning the Alexander buck·        Hunters Advantage podcast invites Alexander to tell his story·        All large deer taken can be controversial·        Alexander tells the hosts a convincing enough tale·        “I came out of it with kind of an uneasy feeling.”·        Alexander had appeared on the podcast after confessing to game wardens·        The court-ordered apology letter·        Public opinion was split·        Misdemeanor charges moved to felony levels·        Podcast appearances could have been used in sentencing·        Technology makes poaching hard to hide·        Antlers are like fingerprints·        Podcast generated both positive and negative feedback·        “We’re just common men with a nice microphone.”CreditsHosts: Wayne Saunders and John NoresProducer: Jay AmmannWarden’s Watch logo & Design:Ashley HannettResearch / Content Coordinator:Stacey DesRoches Subscribe:Apple PodcastsSpotifyAmazonGoogleWaypointStitcherTuneInMegaphoneFind More Here:WebsiteWarden’s Watch / TGL StoreFacebook
