It’s an interesting mix of topics this week on the Outdoor Magazine radio show.
First, I talk about my turkey hunting adventures so far this season. No bird yet but there’s still plenty of time.
Then, Tony Smith of the Lower Peninsula Deer Management Initiative joins me to talk about his group’s desire to implement mandatory antler point restrictions on whitetails across lower Michigan.
He’s followed by Dale Malusi. Dale doesn’t agree with mandatory APR’s and he’s started a facebook page to talk about the issue.
The hour wraps up with Eric Sherwood of Whitetail Select. Eric has some great advice for dealing with cold temps and lots of rain in reference to planting food plots.
Michigan’s “Mr. Walleye” kicks off the second hour of this week’s show. Long time friend Mark Martin talks about the walleye opener and what it takes to be a professional angler these days.
Erin McDonough of MUCC. Erin talks about the Scientific Wildlife Management Package and how it could prevent outside interference into Michigan wildlife management.
We continue the fishing theme in hour number three with Mark Romanack of Fishing 411. Mark discusses fishing for trophy pike and the concept of dive curves for trolling.
We wrap it up once again with wild game chef Dixie Dave Minar. Dave doesn’t have a recipe this week, instead we talk about an upcoming benefit dinner in Standish, Michigan.
A great show to wrap up the month of April. I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for having me on last week Mike.
Perhaps another time we can discuss the proposal that’s in front of the MDNR so your listeners can consider it based on it’s merits instead of my spending 10 minutes defending a process put in place by the NRC so that hunter’s in this state can have a voice in how our deer herd is managed.
Sincerely,
Tony Smith
