The MeatEater Podcast · Ep. 867: Jim Zumbo - An Outdoor Legend at 85 · 27 Apr 2026 podcast

In Utah State, up in Logan.

So I went there.

I got my bachelor's.

I got to back up.

I'm sorry.

When I was at Paul Smith's, you know, in a lot of these little communities, the hunting communities, guys would say, oh, there's a big old buck out there.

And there was a great big whitetail that everybody called old Joe.

Sure.

And he was supposed to be this monster, maybe a mythical buck.

I don't know.

So one day I'm crawling around this cedar swamp, sphagnum moss.

And I got my 30, 30 model 94 carbine, you know, and,

I'm squeezing between a couple of trees and out jumps this huge buck.

And all I could do was just look at him because I couldn't even move.

So I got a wild hair and I wrote a story about it for the college paper.

And they printed it.

And I thought, holy smokes.

I was just so impressed to see that stupid story in that little stupid paper.

When I went out to Utah State, I live with a bunch of foresters.

And one of the guys worked on the paper called Student Life.
