Another fast paced show this week on Outdoor Magazine.
First, Dan Eichinger of the Michigan DNR joins me to talk about the new Youth Mentored Hunting License package. In a nutshell the guidelines say a mentor can take as many kids hunting as they feel comfortable with, but only two weapons can be used by the group. Also, all mentored hunters need to be within reach of the senior hunter at all times. Mentored Youth Hunting Licenses will be available March 1st.
Then, Adam Starr of Showspan with a look ahead at next week’s Outdoorama show in Novi. Sounds like a great show and I plan to be there Saturday the 25th.
Hour number two features Pat McKenna of Michigan based Ameristep. Pat talks about new products for 2012 and announces a contest to give away a Carnivore blind every month this year. The grand prize will be a hog hunting trip in Florida with Ralph and Vicki Cianciarulo of Archer’s Choice Media. Those drawings will be held on my Outdoor Magazine radio show and streamed live on the Mike Avery Outdoors USTREAM channel.
Tony Hansen of MUCC wraps up the hour. This week Tony follows up on that mentored youth hunting program that MUCC spearheaded.
The final hour of this week’s show includes a good friend of mine, Tim Roller of Ultimate Outfitters Guide Service. Tim talks about a frustrating experience he had with a trophy buck a couple years ago and looks ahead to the spring steelhead fishing season.
Next, Ted Harpham of Darton Archery joins me to talk about Darton’s appearance at the Deer and Turkey Expo in Lansing. He also reminds me of the contest they’re having to win a new Darton bow or crossbow.
We wrap it all up with wild game chef Dixie Dave Minar. This time Dave talks about a fundraising dinner he’s involved in to help local families in need.
A fast paced show filled with lots of great information….I hope you like it.
