Standing at an impressive height of nearly three feet, the Jack Rabbits inhabiting the lands of Taos Pueblo have long served as a valuable protein source for its people during times when larger game was scarce. Yia loves rabbit but has never tasted jackrabbit. After a quick Taos history lesson with Richard Aspenwind, Yia is invited to hunt with Michael, Isaac, and Andrew- where he quickly learns that finding a rabbit in the sagebrush is no easy task.

The largest of the ground squirrel family, the prairie dog was once a viable food source for the Pueblo people in New Mexico; diving into how they fell out of favor in the 1960s when they were confirmed to carry the bubonic plague.

Hands down, one of the most exciting ways to reel in a catfish is through noodling. In the great State of Oklahoma, it goes by the name of hand grabbing, and Yia is in for an unforgettable adventure alongside local noodling world record holder, Nate Williams. Joined by his children and the talented Chef Jonathon Stranger, they all eagerly anticipate Yia catching the noodling bug or, better yet, a catfish that will serve as the centerpiece for a delightful dinner.

Known as the spoonbill within the local community and hailed as the paddlefish nationally, Yia gets the opportunity to fish for this ancient, heavily-regulated species.
