A recent study done by Fair FX was released with the Top 5 places people have on their Bucket lists. BEC's first question is to our listeners of The Bend, as we need to know if these are "ON" your wish list, and if not, what should be added.

This list shared is just the beginning of what may be of most interest to you personally, a trip to share with a friend or a trip of a lifetime with your family. There is much to see, learn and explore.

The story covers the importance of building new friendships and bonds that exceed that will land a hog hunt or other adventure, to be added to your bucket list in the future. Hear how nature heals more than one can imagine. Hear how you can make a difference. Hear how you can take action to become a better person, live a life of purpose and appreciate the time you have with the people that matter.

Texas Wild Hog we learn is delicious. A simple recipe for the smoker on how to cook a feral pig or wild hog is shared. The enjoyment of hunting is more than harvesting an animal, it is the journey that goes along with, and the memories made.

FOOD

BEC’s Barrel of the Good Stuff

A story has been making headlines across the nation and BEC shares her 2 cents on how this easy family meal idea is one we really ALL should do.

Backstory: A mother of a very large family became a viral sensation after throwing her family a “Nacho Pool Party” - YES you heard right. NACHOs as in chips, cheese, queso, and all the fixings! There were A LOT of haters on social media heckling this mom. AND for those that know BEC, she saw this as a BRILLIANT idea. This is what mom, Alicia Dougherty did. Dougherty took a child kiddie pool, washed it thoroughly, then filled it with Tex-Mex Nachos, Tortilla chips, covered in cheese meat, veggies, and sour cream. The ultimate Nacho platter as the woman than served her entire family directly from that Unusually Large Bowl.. aka Kiddie Pool.

The answer to "What to cook?" or "What to make?" for your next “Night To Cook” at the annual camping trip, family reunion or summer gathering has been answered. Nacho Anyone?

Who would not enjoy digging into THAT masterpiece!

Save Time. Save Money. AND Guaranteed to be Rememberable.

Checks All The Boxes this easy recipe!

HUNTING DOGS

A dog, co-owned by country music artist, Tim McGraw, won the New Breed category at the Westminster Dog Show this month. The dog is an Italian hunting breed, called Bracco Iltaiano, who loves everyone but needs a job such as hunting that keeps this dog breed busy . McGraw and his wife Faith Hill have owned several Bracco Iltianos over the years, sharing posts from time to time on social media.
