We get ready for Michigan’s firearm deer season this week on Outdoor Magazine Radio.
First, I have some thoughts on the history and tradition of deer hunting in the Great Lakes State.
Then, audiologist Dr. Mike Stewart joins me to talk about the danger of shooting and hearing loss. Mike says it’s a real problem for shooters and hunters, but one that can be prevented.
Tim Hart of Q1 Buckpole wraps up the hour with a look at some of the biggest bucks taken in the state so far.
Dan Donarksi is the featured guest in my second hour. Dan is a veteran outdoor writer from the Eastern Upper Peninsula. He always has some great insight and thought provoking comments, as well as great information about hunting and fishing in the U.P. Donarski is also a booking agent for top quality African hunts. The website for that side of his business is Hunters Horn Adventures.
Tony Hansen of MUCC is up next. This week Tony talks about the live streaming news conference he hosted featuring top officials from MUCC and the Michigan DNR. He also has updated information on the potential loss of funds that could result from opening up the Pigeon River State forest to horseback riders.
Even though gun season is coming up, Michigan hunters can also use a bow during that two week period, and that’s the subject of the final hour of this week’s show. Ted Harpham of Darton Archery joins me to talk about their latest compounds and crossbows. He also has some hints on new products scheduled to be unveiled early next year.
We wrap up with Chef Dixie Dave Minar. This time Dave has some great advice on field care to get the best venison for the table.
Another busy show. I hope you can join me.
Have you heard one of your local stations say it was “now broadcasting in crystal-clear HD radio,” and wondered what the heck is HD radio?
I’ve wondered the same thing and can find no technical explanation. I think it might just be a marketing term. Thanks for listening.
