It’s another informative and entertaining Outdoor Magazine Radio show this week.

First, Glenn Duncan of Duncan’s Outdoor Shop in Bay City joins me to talk about guns as Christmas presents. Glenn has great advice on buying that first .22 or shotgun for a young shooter, but he says buying a personal defense handgun for adults is a bad idea. According to Glenn, that’s a very personal decision that the future gun owner should be part of. He suggest it’s a better idea to get a gift certificate and let the shooter pick out their own gun.

Then Tim Hart of the Q1 Buckpole whitetail contest joins me to talk about the latest entries in that contest.

Hour number two features “Michigan’s Mr. UP”, Dan Donarski. Dan talks about the fall hunting season and has a look ahead to ice fishing in the Upper Peninsula.

Stephanie Brown of Jay’s Outdoor News is my next guest. She’s the online editor of that website that features some great Michigan based hunting and fishing articles.

The hour wraps up with Tony Hansen of the Michigan United Conservation Clubs. This week Tony has an update on a proposed Michigan wolf hunting season.

The third hour kicks off with Captain Doug Deming of the Fish Point Lodge on Saginaw Bay. Doug talks about ice fishing for perch, walleye and whitefish on Saginaw Bay. He also discusses how the near record low water levels are affecting boaters and fishermen.

Wild Game Chef Dixie Dave Minar wraps it all up this week. Dave and I announce a new facebook giveaway wher you can win an autographed copy of Dave’s wild game cookbook.

Another good show filled with great guests and information. I hope you like it.
