Beyond the Uniform: Hunting Fort Leavenworth with CSM Michael Bennett

In this episode, we head to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, to talk hunting, service, and life beyond the uniform with retired U.S. Army Command Sergeant Major Michael Bennett.CSM Bennett shares his experience hunting on and around one of the Army’s most historic installations, the unique opportunities and responsibilities that come with it, and how time in the outdoors remained a steady anchor throughout his military career. We also dive into leadership lessons shaped over decades of service, the role hunting played in maintaining balance, and why conservation and mentorship still matter long after retirement.This conversation is a reminder that hunting is about more than filling tags—it’s about stewardship, discipline, and carrying forward traditions rooted in service and responsibility.Prayin and Slayin Network Partner: This episode is brought to you by DEADNUTS OUTDOORS 2D Targets—100% made in the USA and built by real hunters for real-world practice.
