Another busy show this week on Outdoor Magazine.
First Doug Deming of the Fish Point Lodge on Saginaw Bay joins me to talk about big water early season ice fishing for perch and walleye.
Then Tim Hart of Q1 Buckpole has an update on the big bucks in their contest and details on the prize parties coming up after the new year.
Kris Duerson of the Rapid River Knife Company kicks off the second hour. Kris has talks about the history of this respected Michigan company and has some advice on buying the right knife.
There’s good news for Michigan sportsmen and women in our next segment as DNR Wildlife Chief Russ Mason joins me to talk about the latest wolf news. The Feds have taken wolves off the endangered species list which means states can now take control of their management plan. According to Mason though, that plan does not include a wolf hunt. You can hear that conversation below.
Russ is followed by Tony Hansen of MUCC. Tony says his organization is in favor of a wolf hunt and will work to get them listed as a Michigan game animal. We also talk about a new partnership between MUCC and Outdoor Magazine Radio. I believe that group is back on the right track and I’m encouraging hunters and anglers to join the cause.
In the final hour we talk about a subject getting lots of attention across the Country….crossbows. I’m an avid crossbow hunter and recently wrote a piece on bear hunting for Crossbow Magazine. You can see that article here.
Todd Bromley is the editor of that magazine of and he joins me with some insight on why that weapon has become so popular. He also has great advice on making the transition to a crossbow shooter.
We wrap up as always with Chef Dixie Dave Minar. This time Dave has a hearty rabbit recipe perfect for cold weather.
Another busy show….I hope you like it.
