We kick off 2012 with another busy Outdoor Magazine radio show.

First, Chris Keefer of Dropped: Project Alaska joins me to talk about the premiere of that new adventure show on Sportsman Channel. We also discuss how the lifting of Michigan’s deer feeding ban affects the use of their Rack 1 Whitetail System.

Then, Al Herman of Michigan’s Friends of the NRA wraps up the hour with some great information on what that group is all about.

Hour number two features veteran outdoor writer Steve Griffin. Steve is an expert when it comes to early season panfish and he has some interesting tips on how to catch pike on a tip up.

Next, Tony Hansen of MUCC joins me with a look back at the biggest outdoor stories of 2011 and a look forward to next year. Tony includes wolf de-listing and the hunter heritage law as two of the news makers.

Whitetails are the lead off subject in our final hour with Randy VanderVeen of Whitetail Ambush Secrets . Randy has some great, common sense advice for holding trophy bucks on your property….and you don’t need a lot of land to do it.

We wrap up with Chef Dixie Dave Minar, this time Dave has a hearty squirrel recipe.

Another busy show to kick off another busy year of Outdoor Magazine Radio. I hope you can join me.
