This week, we pay tribute to one of Missouri’s greatest conservationists — Jerry Presley, former Director of the Missouri Department of Conservation, who passed away on August 9, 2025, at the age of 94.Jerry dedicated nearly four decades to protecting and managing Missouri’s natural resources and inspired generations of outdoor lovers through his leadership, mentorship, and passion for the outdoors. From his humble roots in Low Wassie to the helm of MDC, Jerry lived a life defined by service, stewardship, and a deep love for the Missouri wilderness.In remembrance, we’re replaying Episode 60, one of our all-time favorite conversations. Recorded five years ago, Jerry joined us to talk about:Growing up in the Ozarks during the Great DepressionThe creation of Eleven Point State ParkConservation legends and legislationWaterfowl, exotic pets, and goggle-eye fishing…and yes, even Bigfoot and the Mystery Bait BucketIt was a conversation full of wisdom, laughter, and timeless stories.Whether you’re a longtime listener or new to Driftwood Outdoors, we invite you to sit back and enjoy this special episode that captures the spirit of a true conservation pioneer.Rest easy, Jerry — and thank you.In lieu of flowers, the family requests expressions of sympathy to be made in the form of donations to the Jerry J.
