We start out this week’s show talking about Michigan’s whitetail herd with researcher Sonje Christensen. She’s involved in a five year study to determine the impact of the EHD outbreak in 2012.
Then Tom Campbell of Woods-n-Waternews joins me with a preview of their July edition and an update on their upcoming Outdoor Weekend.
The whitetail theme continues in our second hour as I talk with Michigan dnr biologist Chad Stewart. Chad describes the expansion of the CWD zone and concerns that EHD might be a problem again this summer.
mucc Deputy Director Amy Trotter is up next. Amy talks about the role of the Michigan United Conservation Clubs and how hunters and anglers need to be more involved in the political process.
Outdoor writer Steve Griffin is my featured guest in the final hour of this week’s Outdoor Magazine show. Steve talks about our recent walleye fishing trip on Saginaw Bay and takes a look at how hunting and fishing have changed in Michigan.
Wild game chef Dixie Dave Minar wraps it all up. First, Dave has the good news of his success in the Michigan elk drawing. He also has a very nice grilled fish recipe.
Interesting guests and lots of information this week on the show. I hope you like it.
Mike: many years ago, circa the late 80’s, you and your camera crew fished aboard my boat Scalper for a half day off the coast of Miami. It was a pretty good 1/2 day during which we caught a blue marlin. At the time you were kind enough to send me a video of the outing. It has since been lost in a fire and I’d love to replace it. Good memories. I’m in Michigan for the next month or two and would love to hook up with you. I have a buck camp near Indian River and desperately need some tips so that I can out hunt my high school buddies. Lol. My phone is 989-493-4504. Please contact me re the above. Tight lines!!
