Thank you, everyone!


Ron is honored to be one of five nominees for Best Outdoorsman at the Gundies — . Huge congrats to all the nominees!

The winner will be announced in January. Ron still prefers a quiet campfire over an awards stage 😄, but Ron respects you wonderful folks who voted for him, so he's agreed with encouragement to attend the award ceremony and be uncomfortable again. Out of respect for you!

Hi everyone, Betsy here.

This photo is Ron in 1989 with his Idaho California bighorn ram — one of those unforgettable hunts from his younger backcountry days.

He may not be pounding the steepest, roughest country like he did back then, but make no mistake — Ron is still hunting, still learning, and still out there. Same respect for the animals, same love for the land, just a few more years of wisdom added in.

There are two days left to vote in the Gundies for Best Outdoorsman thegundies.com/.. Many of you have already voted, and we’re incredibly grateful. If you feel like cheering him on one more time, voting is open through December 16 — but truly, no pressure at all.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us.

Hi everyone, Betsy here!


Sharing a couple more classic photos of Ron — one packing out a mule deer decades ago and another from a quiet campfire on the river. These moments really capture who he’s always been: living the outdoor life with honesty, grit, and a whole lot of heart.

Thank you to everyone who has already voted for him for Best Outdoorsman in the Gundies thegundies.com/. We appreciate it more than you know. I don’t want to keep asking, so please just take this as a heartfelt thank-you.

If you do feel like cheering him on, voting stays open until December 16 — but truly, we appreciate you whether you vote or not.

Hi friends, it’s Betsy.I’m sharing two photos of Ron from his younger days and one from this year. The gear changes and the years add up, but his commitment to honest outdoor storytelling never has.
Ron has been nominated again for Best Outdoorsman at the thegundies.com/. He would never ask for votes himself, but if you feel he’s earned it over a lifetime of hunting, teaching, and sharing knowledge, you can vote once a day through December 16.

While you’re voting, here are a few of our favorites in the other categories this year:
• Top 2A Writer: Ryan Domke ( ‪@theguygearreview‬ )

No pressure — just cheering on good people who deserve the recognition.

I’ve hunted all over the world but there’s something about Africa that keeps pulling me back. If you’ve ever dreamed of going on safari but weren’t sure where to start, I’d love to help.

This Thursday at 7PM MST, Betsy and I are hosting another live virtual campfire chat for all my Tier 3+ Patreon supporters. We’ll walk through everything you need to know to plan a safari, from choosing the country and outfitter to what kind of gear, bullets, and travel logistics to expect. I’ll also share some stories and advice from my time in the bush.

And yes, we’re doing another giveaway during the meetup. If you’re in Tier 3 or higher, you’ll be automatically entered to win gear from ‪@midwestgunworks‬ and Real Avid, a signed copy of my Predator Hunting book, and more.

If you’re not in Tier 3 yet, now’s a good time to jump in. www.patreon.com/c/RonSpomerOutdoors

See you around the fire
