We wrap up January with another interesting edition of the Outdoor Magazine radio show.
First, Al Stewart of the Michigan dnr joins me to talk about springtime turkey hunting. The deadline to apply for the restricted season hunts is February 1st.
Then Ted Harpham of Darton Archery talks about predator hunting at night with crossbows. They’ve had great luck with this new twist on the rapidly growing sport of coyote hunting.
Hour two kicks off with the “Sturgeon General” Brenda Archambo. Brenda is the president of the Black Lake Chapter of Sturgeon for Tomorrow and an avid proponent of the prehistoric fish. She talks about efforts to save the fish and how a sturgeon spearing season is part of those efforts.
Then Bill Moritz, Deputy Director of the DNR joins me to talk about the new hunting and fishing license package. Bill says some fees will go up but the number of licenses has been cut considerably.
Wintertime steelheading is the opening topic of hour number three as I talk with Paul Schlafley of Riverside Charters in Manistee. Paul says it’s been tough to get on the river this year because of the ice but the fishing has been good when they can get out.
Wild game chef Dixie Dave Minar wraps up this week’s show. Dave is still recovering from his heart attack and we shoot the breeze about their Helping Hands fundraising dinner and a big wild game dinner coming up in Midland.
Another busy show filled with great guests and information. I hope you like it.
