On this episode of the Panoramic Outdoors Podcast, Sheldon sits down with Wisconsin land manager and conservation advocate Doug Duren for a grounded, honest conversation about land stewardship, whitetail management, Chronic Wasting Disease, and life on a working family farm. Doug is widely known for his philosophy, “It's not ours, it's just our turn,” and he breaks down what that really means when you're responsible for hundreds of acres of habitat, livestock, timber, and wildlife. The conversation dives into practical land management strategies that actually improve whitetail habitat, the realities and long-term concerns surrounding CWD, and how deer movement, carcass disposal, and hunting pressure all play a role in herd health. Beyond the science and strategy, Doug shares what it's like balancing farming with conservation, navigating modern pressures on rural landowners, and why stewardship has to come before ego. His perspective from decades of managing his family farm in Wisconsin's Driftless region brings depth to the conversation and challenges hunters to think bigger than just the next season. This episode isn't just about killing bigger deer. It's about responsibility, legacy, and making sure the land and wildlife are stronger for the next generation.   Thank you to our sponsors:  https://www.ihunterapp.com/  https://www.redneckhuntingcanada.com/ https://www.skre.ca 

Welcome back to Chasing Giants Podcast Episode 312. This week we dive into: • A 400-acre Western Kentucky property that might produce GIANTS • A 1,400-acre farm with 200 acres of food plots • Why Western Kentucky could be a sleeper big-buck state • The real impact of a one-buck limit • CWD management and state agency decisions • The National Deer Association controversy • Downwind bedding tactics explained • Coons vs deer crop damage debate • Burn permits… and common sense We also discuss: Why mature bucks travel the downwind edge How hunting pressure changes buck movement Public land entry tactics Why some states are declining in age structure And what serious land managers need to understand about long-term strategy If you're serious about whitetail habitat, land management, deer herd health, and honest conversations about the direction of hunting in America — this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Chasing Giants Podcast, Don Higgins and Terry Peer dive deep into late-season deer behavior, winter stress, antler shedding, and critical food sources when snow and cold tighten the screws on whitetails. With snow on the ground across much of the Midwest, deer are piling into food sources, hammering grain, and shifting bedding patterns. Don and Terry break down real-world observations from their own farms and consulting properties — including why grain sorghum disappears late, how woody browse saves deer, and when TSI and clear-cut areas need reset. They also discuss: - Why shed timing varies by region and stress - How extreme weather accelerates antler drop - Grain sorghum vs corn vs soybeans in winter - Frost seeding clover: when it works and when it doesn't - Bedding cover cycles and when to mulch regrowth - Shed hunting strategy (when to push vs wait) - Listener Q&A on drones, thermals, water access, CWD, and more - Upcoming events including Midwest Sportsman's Classic - A major Chasing Giants product announcement teaser If you're serious about late-season survival, habitat longevity, and making smarter planting decisions, this episode is packed with practical insight.

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer podcast, hosts Dan Johnson and Jason Thibodeau discuss their busy weekends filled with family activities, reflections on the deer season, and the impact of weather on deer behavior. They delve into the complexities of parenting in sports, the relationship between conservation and hunting, and the challenges posed by government regulations and wildlife management, particularly concerning CWD. The conversation highlights the need for informed hunting practices, community engagement in conservation efforts, and the importance of understanding the broader implications of hunting regulations. They also touch on urban deer management and the future of hunting practices, concluding with a look ahead to shed hunting and habitat improvement. Takeaways: Busy weekends often lead to a lack of personal time. Weather significantly impacts deer behavior and shedding. Parenting in sports requires a balance of encouragement and pressure. Conservation efforts are often complicated by political and financial interests. CWD remains a pressing issue in wildlife management. Farmers and hunters must find common ground for effective conservation. Education about hunting regulations is crucial for future generations. Urban deer management can create tension between hunters and local communities. Community engagement is essential for effective conservation practices. Shed hunting and habitat improvement are important topics for the upcoming season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

MDWFP deer biologist Carmen Campbell joins the Mississippi Outdoors Podcast to explain a new way scientists are detecting Chronic Wasting Disease — without relying on a dead deer.The conversation breaks down what deer scrapes are, why multiple deer use them, and how soil collected from scrapes can be tested for signs of CWD. Campbell explains how this method can detect the disease earlier than traditional hunter-harvested samples and why that matters for managing deer herds.Matt and Carmen also discuss how scrape testing ties into Mississippi's three-mile CWD tag program, giving hunters more opportunity while helping biologists monitor the disease. It's a fascinating look at how science, hunters, and wildlife management intersect to protect Mississippi's deer resource. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

 In this episode of the WHIN Podcast, Don Propst and Mitchell sit down with Bradley LeBaron of Coots Taxidermy to unpack what it really takes to turn a hard-earned animal into a lifetime memory—starting with what you do in the field. From protecting velvet fast, to preventing hair slip on antelope, to proper cooling and clean cape handling, Bradley shares practical, no-fluff advice that saves trophies from avoidable mistakes (and a few hilarious shop stories along the way). The conversation also highlights the behind-the-scenes role taxidermists play in wildlife management—spotting tag issues, supporting CWD sampling, and helping elevate standards through the new Nevada Taxidermy Association—while reinforcing a core theme: treat your hide like your meat, respect the animal, and make conservation a lifestyle.

Join Living the Dream Outdoors Podcast host Bill Cooper as he interviews MDC's Cervid Program Supervisor Jason Isabelle about Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) Isabelle discusses the history of the disease, its prevalence today, and the importance of controlling the disease.There is a lot of controversy about how MDC is managing CWD. Isabelle addresses those concerns and gives a scientific basis for their management policies. One can look to Wisconsin, Arkansas and now Kansas to see what lack of management of CWD brings. It's not a pretty picture of deer herds. There is a small element of people in Missouri who want to totally do away with our Missouri Department of Conservation. They would willingly destroy what has taken decades for Missouri citizens to build, the most respected conservation department in the nation. We set our MDC up through the initiative petition process and created it in 1936 as a part of the Missouri Constitution (Amendment 4) as a separate entity to be managed by professional biologists, thus removing it from the hands of politicians.  We all pay a 1/8th of 1 percent sales tax to support MDC. The per capita cost is roughly $30 per year. For $30/yr. every Missouri citizen has access to over 1 million acres of public MDC lands,enjoys incredible hunting and fishing opportunities, camping, hiking, and outdoor education programs through our schools and local communities. It is the best deal in conservation in the entire USA. Let's keep it that way.  

This week wear hear Pat's take on CWD and what DNR is actually doing with this info. We also have a list from the Clean Water Action on PFAS concerning every day life. In the news this week we talk about Jawjackers legal in Minnesota and electronic hunting tags in Michigan. Email us at themidwestfrontier@gmail.com and thanks for listening.

https://www.outdoornews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Jan-17-long-show.mp3 Kicking off this week's show is Managing Editor Rob Drieslein and Editor Tim Spielman who recap the 2026 Minnesota DNR Roundtable held on Friday, Jan. 9 in Brooklyn Center. They break down one of the biggest topics to emerge from the event: the DNR's formal proposal for a 4-fish statewide walleye limit. Then Glen Schmitt, the man behind the Outdoor News fishing report, provides insight into how the ice-fishing season has gone so far, and he offers his opinion on rapidly evolving forward-facing sonar. Tim Lesmeister helps Drieslein wrap up the show with chatter on a host of topics including the latest CWD totals, the backlog of firearms safety training classes, wake boats, and a $3.2 million price tag for a single bluefin tuna in Japan. The post Episode 575 – MN DNR Roundtable, 4-fish walleye limit, Glen Schmitt on ice-fishing, techno-talk appeared first on Outdoor News.

In this episode of Outdoor Adventures, we continue our conversation with Iowa hunter Kent Boucher, focusing on Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) testing. Kent shares why he recently submitted a deer sample for testing and walks through how the CWD testing process works from a hunter's perspective. He explains what samples are required, how submission works, and why participating in testing efforts matters to him and the future of whitetail hunting.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What is the end game with Chronic Wasting Disease? What are we working towards with hundreds of millions in tax dollars spent through research and studies? The findings are fascinating but distribution of a cure isn't realistic and slowing the spread of wild herds doesn't seem remotely possible. There is a different side of CWD that doesn't get discussed. I cover these topics and a path to establishing baseline population data.

Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) has made headlines lately for its controversial decision to end its postseason Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) targeted deer removal program. Join Ashlee as she connected with MO MDC Director Jason Sumners, and they explain the decision and discuss MO's deer and elk program, and CWD efforts in general.  Ashlee and Jason also go into his background and the Missouri deer program writ large. This podcast is an incredibly informative resource for the CWD discussion, and all of the elements associated with it.

On December 15, the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) announced the end of a controversial CWD control program: a sharpshooting initiative that involved baiting and spotlighting deer in areas where CWD has been detected. MDC Director Jason Sumners announced the news in an open letter. “As CWD has spread in Missouri over the last decade, MDC's objective has been and continues to be to keep CWD infection rates low to protect the long-term...

If a Prion does not exist what has the goverment been lying about for the past 50 years. I am talking scrapie in sheep, BSE in cattle and CWD in cervids.

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) has officially announced an "indefinite pause" on winter targeted deer culling, a move that has sparked intense debate across the hunting community. In this episode, MDC Director Jason Sumners joins the podcast to explain why the agency is pivoting its strategy against CWD.

Michigan just changed how the next generation learns to hunt and it could reshape hunting nationwide. In this year-end edition of The Sportsmen's Voice Roundup, Fred Bird delivers a concise but consequential policy update for hunters, anglers, and public-lands advocates across the country. The headline story comes out of Michigan, where legislation to allow hunter education in schools has passed both chambers and now awaits the governor's signature. If signed, the program would count toward graduation credit and satisfy the classroom requirement for a Michigan hunting license an unprecedented step toward strengthening hunting heritage and recruitment. Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation's  Bob Matthews joins the show to explain how this long-fought effort came together, what it means for hunter recruitment and retention, and why other states are watching closely. This conversation gets into the mechanics of hunter education, the role of conservation-minded lawmakers, and how classroom-based programs can protect access to hunting while building informed, responsible sportsmen. Beyond Michigan, the episode hits critical national updates affecting waterfowl hunting, deer management, and fishing regulations. Listeners will hear about wildlife crossings legislation that improves habitat connectivity and human safety, updates from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on refuges and hatcheries, changes to Missouri's deer seasons and CWD management, and new mandatory harvest reporting rules for North Carolina anglers targeting species like red drum and speckled trout. The Sportsmen's Voice is an insider briefing designed to keep serious outdoorsmen informed, effective, and engaged as we head into a new year of hunting and fishing policy battles.   Get the FREE Sportsmen's Voice e-publication in your inbox every Monday: www.congressionalsportsmen.org/newsletter   Follow The Sportsmen's Voice wherever you get your podcasts: https://podfollow.com/1705085498  Learn more about your ad choices.

Colorado hunting and science-based wildlife management have been in the crosshairs for years, and things are not looking any better.  This week's guest is Josh Wamboldt, a Colorado resident, outfitter, and by self-initiation a subject matter expert on the wolf reintroduction efforts and management practices currently happening in his State.  Josh is very vocal about not being strictly "anti-wolf", but he has many concerns and issues with how Colorado has handled their wolf populations, and the practices they execute moving forward.  We talk in detail about all the events, adjustments and migrations pertaining to wolf populations since the reintroduction, where Colorado is failing wildlife and residents with the current situations, and other factors and rumors surrounding CWD, their impact on other species and ranchers, and more.  This is a very education conversation, and recorded as a live episode with active audience engagement we are happy to share this very informative discussion. Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/)Bear River Archery (https://www.bearriverarchery.com/)Trophy Edits (https://trophyedits.com/?ref=fallobsession)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)

Major changes in hunting access, fisheries policy, and fall opportunities every outdoorsman should hear. This week's TSV Roundup delivers a packed briefing on the biggest conservation and policy developments shaping hunting, fishing, and outdoor access across the country. We open with Massachusetts' sweeping new gun laws—and what those changes mean for hunters, sportsmen, and future access on Bay State lands. You'll hear why these policies are raising red flags for gun owners, conservation advocates, and anyone concerned about the future of lawful hunting traditions. From there, we break down how Federal Duck Stamp dollars continue to drive waterfowl habitat restoration, wetlands conservation, and public access for waterfowl hunters. If you chase ducks, dabble in waterfowl hunting, or just want a deeper understanding of how wetlands get funded, this segment gives you the essential context behind one of America's most successful conservation tools. We also cover a major forest restoration effort on Oregon's Rogue River–Siskiyou National Forest—work that strengthens wildlife habitat, supports big-game hunting opportunities, improves watersheds, and reduces wildfire risk across critical access areas. In the Southwest, we provide a clear update on CWD surveillance in Arizona and what hunters should know about testing rules, carcass transport, and keeping this devastating disease out of the state. Finally, we close with fall fishing opportunities across the Great Plains, including trout stocking updates, cold-water angling strategies, and why musky and winter trout fishing are heating up as temperatures cool. Whether you hunt deer, chase ducks, or fish through the fall, this episode equips you with the insider knowledge you need heading into the holiday season.   Get the FREE Sportsmen's Voice e-publication in your inbox every Monday: www.congressionalsportsmen.org/newsletter   Follow The Sportsmen's Voice wherever you get your podcasts: https://podfollow.com/1705085498  Learn more about your ad choices.

As a Minnesota-based writer, I spent quite a few years covering news related to wolves. In fact, two topics that I really can't stand to discuss anymore are wolves and CWD. It's not that I'm not interested or concerned about either, but at some point, it's like eating the same meal over and over. You just lose your appetite for it. That only gets exacerbated by the feeling that, as an individual, you can't really do anything about either topic...

Chronic Wasting Disease, hunter recruitment, and outdoor education take center stage as Scott Cronin joins the Driftwood Outdoors crew to talk about the changing face of hunting and why sharing knowledge is key to the sport's future.From the power of mentorship to lessons learned from wounded deer and missed shots, this conversation with Scott Cronin celebrates the honesty and heart that make hunting more than a hobby — it's a way of life.For more info: Scott Cronin BioSpecial thanks to:Living The Dream Outdoor PropertiesSuperior Foam Insulation LLCDoolittle TrailersScenic Rivers TaxidermyConnect with Driftwood Outdoors:FacebookInstagramYouTubeEmail:info@driftwoodoutdoors.com

From California's new firearm restrictions to reef fish recovery and deer disease alerts—this week's roundup covers it all. Host Fred Bird breaks down the latest hunting, fishing, and conservation headlines shaping the outdoor community. Broadcasting from deer camp in New Hampshire, Fred covers California's controversial Assembly Bill 1127, what many are calling a backdoor striker-fired handgun ban, and how it could jeopardize both firearm access and conservation funding nationwide. Then, in better news for anglers, the Gulf Council has voted to permanently implement Descend Act measures. Fred explains how descending devices and venting tools are helping to reduce barotrauma in deep-water reef fish, leading to healthier fisheries and more sustainable recreational fishing opportunities across the Gulf of Mexico. Rounding out the episode, Fred shares important updates on the menhaden harvest buffer rollback in Louisiana and CWD testing reminders across the Great Plains. Hunters will learn where testing is available, what new regulations to watch, and how staying informed helps protect deer herds for future seasons. Whether you're tracking policy, chasing rutting whitetails, or tuning up your reef rig, this is your inside look at the week in conservation and outdoor legislation.   Get the FREE Sportsmen's Voice e-publication in your inbox every Monday: www.congressionalsportsmen.org/newsletter   Follow The Sportsmen's Voice wherever you get your podcasts: https://podfollow.com/1705085498  Learn more about your ad choices.
