Kind of an eclectic show this week as we move toward the end of 2011.

First, Dave Thomas of Bowhunter Planet.com joins me to talk about today’s archery gear and what what new products we can expect at the upcoming archery trade association (ATA) show in January.

Then Tom Campbell of Woods-n-Waternews wraps up the hour with a look at the January edition of their popular Michigan based magazine.

Fishing is the next topic as Paul Schlafley of Riverside Charters in Manistee joins me to kick off hour number two. Paul is a charter caption on Lake Michigan in the summer, but this time of year he guides clients on the Big Manistee River for steelhead. Paul says it’s been a great season so far and he has lots of advice on how to catch cold water steelies.

Tony Hansen of MUCC is my next guest. Tony has details on how Michigan’s mentor hunting license will be implemented next spring.

Late season pheasant hunting is one of the subjects covered by my next guest as veteran outdoor writer Tom Lounsbury kicks off the final hour. Tom says it’s been tough hunting this year but he’s looking forward to rabbit hunting and chasing coyotes as the winter weather sets in.

We wrap up with weekly guest and wild game chef Dixie Dave Minar. This time Dave has a very nice venison recipe.

A broad based show with plenty of great outdoor news and information….I hope you can join me.
