In this episode of Wild Things & Wild Places, host Joshua Coursey welcomes Abe Aryan and Phil Mendoza, organizers of the Mile High Hunt & Fish Expo. As they gear up for their third annual event coming March 27–29, 2026, the duo shares their deep-rooted passion for conservation, community, and the future of our hunting heritage.

Phil Mendoza, a respected name in the archery world, says it best: “When you walk through the door of the Mile High Hunt & Fish Expo, you should feel right where you belong.” That one line perfectly sums up the heart and soul of this event.

This isn’t about turning a profit it’s about preserving something bigger. Josh dives into why Abe and Phil started this expo, what sets it apart, and the exciting, never-before-seen additions they’re planning for 2026. If you care about the future of hunting, fishing, and the outdoors, this is one episode you won’t want to miss.
