We kick off this week’s show talking about bear permits in Michigan.  For hunters who didn’t get one I talk with Ron St. Louis of Northern Wilderness Bear Outfitters in White River, Ontario.  Michigan hunters can drive there and buy a tag over the counter.

Hour two kicks off with Paul Schafley of Riverside Charters in Manistee.  Paul talks about the fishing on Lake Michigan so far this summer and the lack of salmon on this side of the lake.

Maia Turek of the Michigan dnr is up next.  Maia talks about the Recreation Passport (state park sticker) program.

Outdoor writer and wildlife expert Richard P Smith joins me in hour three as we talk about bear hunting in Michigan and the status of the state’s deer management program.

Chef Dixie Dave Minar wraps it up with a great grilled fish recipe.

Great guests and information this week on Outdoor Magazine Radio.  I hope you like the show.
