This week on the Outdoor Magazine radio show…..

I start out talking about a recent fishing trip on Saginaw Bay where my grandson Trent caught a master angler walleye. You can read the story here and listen to an excerpt of the show where I talk about the trip by clicking here.

Then Jerry Slade joins us.  Jerry is with The Slade Group realty and is considered Michigan’s premiere hunting land specialist.  Jerry has some advice on buying hunting land in a depressed economy.

We wrap up the first hour with Tom Campbell of Woods-n-Waternews.  Tom tells us what to expect from the August edition of the magazine.

Hour two kicks off with DNR biologist John Niewoonder. John is the acting big game specialist for the department and a good part of his time is spend dealing with whitetails. John told us about some changes in the antlerless permit program for the fall and the plan for decreasing the number of deer check stations during the season.

Then Mark Romanack of Precision Angling joined me on the Outdoor Magazine phone line to about the ICAST fishing show in Orlando.

Ed DeVries from the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge helped us kick off the third hour of the program. Ed talked about the role of federal refuges and Shiawassee specifically.

As always, Chef Dixie Dave Minar helped bring the show to a close. This week Dave has another great fish recipe.

Lots of great outdoor news and information this week on the Outdoor Magazine radio show. I hope you enjoy it.
