First, Lisa Jackson of the Michigan dnr joins me to talk about the elk and bear drawing process. Far more people apply than are successful and that leads to some questions about the system.
Then Meteorologist Mark Torregrossa (farmerweather.com and Mlive) talks about why the summer has been windy and cooler than normal so far. He also says that weather pattern should shift in the next couple of weeks.
Hour two features outdoor writer and wildlife expert Richard P Smith. Richard talks about bear hunting in Michigan and how to use trail cameras to scout for the upcoming deer season.
The topic of Michigan snakes wraps up the hour as I talk with Hannah Schauer of the Michigan DNR. Hanna is producing a series of videos to highlight each of our 18 species.
Lake Michigan charter captain Paul Schlafley of River Side Charters in Manistee is my guest in the final hour of this week’s Outdoor Magazine show. Paul talks about how the weather has affected fishing so far this season and has great advice for catching early morning king salmon and lots of lake trout.
It’s a little slower pace this week, but still lots of great information. I hope you like the show.
