First, Ted Harpham of Michigan’s Darton Archery Company joins me with a preview of their new bows and crossbows for 2012. That product will be officially unveiled next week at the Archery Trade Association Show in Columbus.

Next Tom Huggler of Showspan has details on the big Ultimate Fishing Show next week in Novi. You can get details on that show here.

The second hour features John Caretti of The Michigan Trappers and Predator Callers Association. Trapping has been used for centuries to control the overpopulation of animals, and it’s still a viable tool today. The sport has received some bad publicity lately from the animal rights crazies and John talks about why those people are wrong.

Next, Troy Waterman of MOAB Hunting joins me. Troy has details of a giveaway contest on the Outdoor Magazine Facebook page. You can get details on how to win a camouflage mailbox of custom dip camo skull mount here.

We wrap up the hour with Tony Hansen of Michigan’s MUCC. This week Tony responds to criticism of his group.

Jim Sprague of K&E Tackle joins me to kick off the third hour. Jim talks about running a fishing related business and the factors involved in being successful. He also has a preview of his involvement in the upcoming Ultimate Fishing Show and describes the bass tournament circuit he runs in the summer months.

We wrap it up, as always, with wild game chef Dixie Dave Minar who has another great wild game recipe.

A very busy show this week packed with lots of great information. I hope you enjoy it.
