Cinnamon Creek Ranch’s origins go back over 40 years, hell you’ve probably heard their commercial on this show for at least 15 of those. Our good friend and owner Joe Mussachio joins the show this week. I dropped a buck off for processing and Joe and I sat down in his office to discuss a myriad of hunting and wild game related topics. Highlights from the conversation include:
