We celebrate mid summer in the Great Lakes state this weekend with a look around…and ahead at what’s coming up.
First, RJ Meyer of the Trophy Room Taxidermy Studio joins me to talk about the care and handling of trophy salmon and trout. Lots of big water anglers will be landing big fish in the next few weeks and they’ll be looking for a good taxidermist. I highly recommend RJ and the Trophy Room. In fact, RJ does all of my work and much of it is on display in my office.
Some Examples of RJ's Work
RJ and I also talk about out the upcoming bear season and the recent designation of the Trophy Room as an official DNR bear check station.
Ted Harpham of Darton Archery wraps up the hour. This time Ted unveils the name of their hot new flagship crossbow for 2012.
Former Outdoor Magazine pro staffer and good friend Tim Roller kicks off hour number two. Tim is the owner of Ultimate Outfitters guide service and the producer of Tim Roller’s Wild Addiction TV show seen each week on Sportsman Channel.
We reminisce about the world record brown trout caught by one of Tim’s clients, Tom Healy in the fall of 2009 and the implications of catching such a trophy.

Tim and I also talk about fall fishing for king salmon in the rivers and he has some early season whitetail scouting advice.
The final hour features another favorite guest, Richard P. Smith. Richard tells me about Michigan’s first moose hunt. The event is scheduled for this fall, but it’s not a harvest, it’s a photo and video contest designed to bring attention to the state’s growing moose herd.
Richard also talks about the upcoming bear hunt and has some great advice for first time bear hunters.
Another busy and informative show, I hope you enjoy it.
Love the trout, the picture and the expersion on Tom’s face. Thanks for posting
