Another busy show this week on Outdoor Magazine Radio.
First, I talk about a comment posted on the Outdoor Magazine facebook page from a woman who says a legal wolf hunter should “swallow a bullet” for hunting those animals. Needless to say, that set me off. You can see my comments below.
Then Dale McNamee of the U.P. Sportsmen’s Alliance joins me. Dale says his group has a unique perspective on Upper Peninsula habitat and wildlife issues.
Tim Hart of the Q1 Buckpole finishes out the hour. Tim has a preview of their big season wrap up party next weekend.
Flyfishing in southeast Michigan is the topic of hour two. Mike Schultz of Schultz Outfitters joins me with an interesting look at warm water flyfishing opportunities in that part of the state.
We turn our attention to food plots in the next hour with Eric Sherwood of Whitetail Select. With the mild winter Eric says the food plot season is just around the corner and he has great advice on how to get started.
Chef Dixie Dave Minar wraps it up again this week. Dave talks about field care of wild game and previews some upcoming wild game dinners.
Another busy show….I hope you enjoy it.
Mike,
I just recently found your podcast on I-tunes. I love listening to your show during my commute. Here in Nebraska we do not have much of a wolf population, but we are beginning to grapple with an ever increasing mountain lion population. So far they have not really effected the deer population, but they are ever increasingly showing up in and near populated areas much like your wolves are. People have to realize that yes, they are majestic and wonderful animals, but they are not above man regardless of what anyone thinks. What most animal activists do not realize is that the hunting and fishing community are the best stewards in caring for wildlife. There comes a time that when humans and especially, children can be harmed, the controlled hunting of the population may be the best answer. Keep up the good work and fight.
Thanks Chad. The battle is the same, whether it’s wolves or mountain lions. There are people who want to take our lifestyle away from us. Thanks for listening to the podcast.
Thanks Chad, appreciate it.
Wow…great educational session with Eric Sherwood about deer food plots…I always learn something from your shows Mike!…glad I can get the show on itunes…
Thanks Jim. Eric is the subject of my “Outdoor Magazine Minutes” next week too.
“hunter should “swallow a bullet” for hunting those animals.” Well said! A life for a life! What a disgrace to humanity. Teach your children compassion and empathy, use a camera instead of a gun, you’ll get the thrill of the hunt but no.. you’re killers and blood thirsty. I cheer for that lost bullet or arrow and can only say “welcome back to sender” when it does happen!
Hey Disgusted. I’m disgusted by you as well. Only a self righteous, atheist idiot would put the same value on an animal as a human life. You should be ashamed of yourself and your comments only prove your ignorance.
