Nick opens with a personal update on the shift from summer chaos into early fall hunting season, then moves into two connected stories about wild game, generosity, and community. He reflects on being gifted Great Lakes salmon and lake trout, turning part of it into smoked jerky, and how that exchange strengthened a friendship. He also previews an upcoming New Jersey black bear hunt and a new venison donation project that uses hunters' harvests to help feed others. Key Topics Balancing school, work, family, and hunting preparation as fall approaches Why Nick is keeping his current archery setup unchanged Repacking his kill kit and bringing a paperback book into the tree stand Preparing for an October black bear hunt in New Jersey with Mitchell Shirk Processing and preserving gifted Great Lakes salmon and lake trout Making smoked fish jerky using a brown sugar and salt cure Smoking fish with charcoal and black cherry wood The practical process of trimming fillets and removing pin bones How gifting wild game can create friendships and strengthen community Using salmon as part of a practical meal-prep routine The Doe Dash venison donation concept Turning donated venison into food for local food banks Using recipes to help families enjoy venison beyond burgers and chili Nick's quick 30-minute meatballs and his wife's grandfather's gyoza recipe The role hunters can play in providing high-quality protein to people in need Episode Summary Preparing for Fall Hunting SeasonNick begins by describing the transition into September in Michigan. With school back in session, a nine-to-five job, children, and personal projects all competing for attention, he is learning to manage his time more intentionally.Fall is also the season when outdoor pursuits begin to accelerate. Nick talks about preparing for Michigan's archery opener and getting his bow back out to start practicing. His equipment has been working well, so he is taking a simple approach: if something is not broken, there is no reason to fix it.One small change he is considering is bringing a paperback book into the tree stand. Rather than spending downtime scrolling on his phone, he wants to use that time to read and gain a different perspective while remaining immersed in the outdoors.A New Jersey Black Bear HuntNick shares exciting news about an upcoming trip to New Jersey to hunt black bear with Mitchell Shirk of the Pennsylvania Woodsman.The trip is already moving forward, with flights and lodging arranged. Mitchell has been handling much of the scouting, baiting, and stand preparation, while Nick plans to bring his saddle because it allows him to sit comfortably for longer periods.The hunt will be a completely new experience for Nick. In addition to pursuing a new species in unfamiliar country, he will also have to think through the logistics of processing, transporting, and preserving a bear while traveling by plane. He hopes to bring the hide home for a rug and expects to rely heavily on Mitchell's knowledge of local processors and taxidermists. The Gift of Great Lakes FishThe central story begins with several fillets of Great Lakes king salmon and lake trout sitting in Nick's freezer.The important part is not simply the fish. It is how the fish came to him. Nick received the fish from Jason and Britley, friends he met through their sons' soccer team. Jason is an avid outdoorsman who spends much of his time waterfowl hunting and fishing on the Great Lakes. After Jason and his fishing team won a tournament, he found himself with more fish than his household could use because Britley has a serious fish allergy.Jason reached out to Nick, knowing that Nick enjoys both cooking and processing wild game. Nick offered to take some of the fish, prepare it, and turn part of it into jerky so Jason could continue enjoying the harvest without wasting it.Processing Lake Trout for Smoked Jerky Nick explains the practical work involved in preparing the fish. The fillets had already been scaled, so he focused on trimming them and removing the pin bones.He used needle-nose pliers to locate and pull the bones from the larger fillets. Some of the bones were substantial, especially in the bigger fish.Nick also discusses the differences between the fish. Lake trout has a richer, oilier character than king salmon, which gives it a stronger and more distinctive flavor. Instead of viewing that as a negative, Nick embraced the uniqueness of the fish and found that its higher fat content worked well for jerky.The Cure and Smoking ProcessFor the first batch, Nick followed a method inspired by Hank Shaw. The cure consisted primarily of brown sugar and salt. Because fish absorbs salt quickly, he allowed the fillets to cure for roughly six to eight hours before rinsing them and preparing them for the smoker.A problem arose when Nick discovered that his smoker had developed a rust issue. Rather than abandoning the project, he adapted by using cooling racks on his charcoal grill.He also used black cherry wood from a storm-damaged tree in his backyard. The combination of charcoal and homemade wood chunks created the smoke needed to transform the fish.Nick describes how the smoke changed the appearance of the bright red fish, giving it a warm, tan color while preserving the visual appeal of the meat. The result was not just flavorful; it was something that looked appetizing before it was even tasted. Sharing the Finished ProductAfter reducing the moisture and concentrating the flavor, Nick packaged the finished fish and gave it back to Jason.The amount was noticeably smaller than the original fresh fish because of the water loss during smoking, but the value of the gift had increased. Jason could now enjoy his catch in a preserved form, and he had a product that was easier to store and use.This created a meaningful exchange. Jason had gifted Nick the fish, and Nick returned part of that bounty in a new form. The interaction became more than food preservation. It became a way for two outdoorsmen to share skills, effort, and appreciation.The Community Built Through Wild GameNick connects this experience to the broader tradition of sharing wild game.Hunters and anglers often trade venison, duck breasts, fish, and other harvests with one another. Someone may have extra duck but no fish. Another person may have more fish than their family can use but would gladly trade for venison.These exchanges create relationships. They help people use more of the animals they harvest, reduce waste, and give friends an opportunity to experience food they may not otherwise have access to.Nick reflects on the familiar saying: Copy “If you give a man a fish, he eats for a day. If you teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime.” For Nick, the saying leaves out something important. When you give someone a fish, you may also create gratitude, conversation, friendship, and a desire to share in return. Fish as Everyday Meal Preparation Not all of the gifted fish became jerky. Nick also used some of it for family meals and meal preparation.He describes preparing salmon with rice and avocado as a balanced lunch containing protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Having prepared meals available helped him avoid relying on fast food during a busy workday.This connects the gift of fish to another benefit: wild game and locally harvested food can become part of a practical everyday routine, not just a special occasion meal.From Friendship to OutreachThe conversation then expands beyond the exchange between Nick and Jason.

Long before trail cameras, mapping apps and advanced hunting electronics, successful deer hunters learned to read the woods. In this episode of DSC's Campfires with Larry Weishuhn, Larry welcomes renowned Master Maine Guide Randy Flannery for an in-depth conversation about the traditional art of tracking and stalking mature whitetail bucks. Randy is the owner and operator of Wilderness Escape Outfitters in northern Maine and a lifelong student of big-woods whitetails. Drawing from decades of experience, he explains that successful tracking involves much more than simply finding hoofprints and following them through the snow. A tracker must learn to interpret the animal's pace, direction, body language, habitat choices and likely destination. The conversation explores how hunters can judge whether a track belongs to a mature buck, recognize when a deer may be catchable, use changing wind and terrain to their advantage and avoid rushing into the very cover where a buck is likely to be waiting. At its heart, this episode is about preserving a form of woodsmanship that can only be developed through patience, observation and time spent in the field. How Randy was introduced to deer hunting and traditional woodsmanship Lessons passed down through generations of northern Maine hunters The difference between merely following a track and actually interpreting it How stride, track size and movement patterns can reveal clues about a buck Recognizing whether a track is fresh enough to pursue How to decide whether you are gaining ground or endlessly trailing a deer Why mature bucks frequently use terrain, cover and wind to protect themselves Reading feeding areas, bedding cover and natural travel corridors How snow conditions influence a tracking hunt The importance of slowing down as a hunter gets closer to the animal Why a tracker must constantly look ahead instead of staring only at the ground Using the wind without allowing it to dictate every decision How a buck may circle, pause or position itself to monitor what is following The role of patience, instinct and experience in closing the final distance Why map-and-compass knowledge remains an essential backcountry skill Making the first ethical shot opportunity count What modern hunters lose when technology replaces woodsmanship Randy's efforts to teach tracking and stalking skills to a new generation A deer track is not simply a mark in the ground. It is part of a constantly unfolding story. A knowledgeable tracker studies how far apart the tracks are, how deeply they penetrate the snow or soil, whether the deer was walking, feeding or moving with purpose, and how the surrounding habitat may influence its next move. Randy explains that the objective is not to keep your eyes locked on the individual prints. The hunter must periodically stop, raise their head and search the woods ahead. The buck—not the track—is the ultimate destination. No single measurement provides a perfect answer, but several clues can help a hunter make an educated judgment. A large track, wide stance, long stride and deliberate movement may suggest a mature animal. The way the deer navigates terrain, chooses cover and reacts to potential danger can provide additional information. Randy's approach emphasizes putting several clues together rather than relying on one isolated sign. One of the most important decisions a tracker makes is whether to continue following a particular animal. Weather, snow conditions, the freshness of the track, the deer's pace and the hunter's ability all help determine whether the pursuit is realistic. A buck that is feeding or moving naturally may eventually offer an opportunity. A deer that has been seriously alarmed may continue putting distance between itself and the hunter. The tracker must continually evaluate the sign and be willing to adjust—or abandon—the pursuit when the evidence calls for it. Finding a track may be the easy part. Closing the final distance requires discipline. As the sign becomes fresher, the hunter must become increasingly careful. Every step, sound and shift in wind direction matters. Mature bucks often stop, circle or select bedding locations that allow them to detect approaching danger. Success comes from resisting the urge to hurry and carefully examining every opening, shadow and piece of cover ahead. Modern hunting technology can be useful, but Randy cautions against allowing equipment to replace foundational outdoor skills. Knowing how to navigate, understand terrain, interpret animal sign, anticipate behavior and remain safe in remote country creates a more capable and self-reliant hunter. Randy's tracking and stalking schools at Wilderness Escape Outfitters are designed to preserve these traditional skills through practical, boots-on-the-ground instruction in the Maine woods. (Wilderness Escape) The best deer trackers do not simply follow where a buck has been. They study the evidence, anticipate where the animal is going and understand why it is making each move. Becoming that kind of hunter requires patience, humility and a willingness to learn something every time you enter the woods. Randy Flannery is a Master Maine Guide, seminar speaker, traditional whitetail tracker and owner of Wilderness Escape Outfitters near Danforth, Maine. Randy learned the fundamentals of tracking and stalking from his grandfather and uncles while growing up in the northern Maine woods. He has spent decades guiding hunters and teaching the practical woodsmanship required to pursue mature whitetails in remote wilderness country. (Springfield Sportsmen's Show) Wilderness Escape Outfitters is a four-season sporting camp located on Upper Hot Brook Lake. In addition to its tracking and stalking schools, the operation offers hunting, fishing, paddling, winter recreation, lodging and family wilderness experiences.

Understanding the story it tells takes a lifetime. Master Maine Guide Randy Flannery joins Larry Weishuhn for an in-depth conversation about tracking and stalking mature big-woods whitetails. Learn how experienced trackers interpret tracks, wind, terrain and deer behavior—and why patience may be the most important piece of hunting equipment you carry. Can you tell the size of a buck from its track? How do you know whether you are closing the distance—or following a deer you will never catch? Master Maine Guide Randy Flannery joins Larry Weishuhn to share hard-earned lessons from a lifetime of tracking and stalking whitetails in the northern Maine wilderness. This episode is packed with traditional woodsmanship, practical deer-hunting knowledge and a powerful reminder that technology can never replace the ability to read the woods.

In this episode of Ten Minute Tuesday, the guys kick off Part 1 of a history lesson about a time when Minnesota duck hunters didn't drive to the marsh, they took the train. As railroads expanded across Minnesota in the late 1800s, they opened access to remote lakes, marshes, and prairie potholes that had previously taken days to reach. Hunters followed the tracks, and the railroad quickly became a major part of Minnesota's early duck hunting culture. Of course, the guys don't get very far before the history lesson goes completely off the rails. Between arguing about how smooth trains were in the 1800s, debating old railroad technology, and imagining what a modern duck hunting trip by train would look like, there's plenty of joking around mixed in with the history. Eventually, they get into specialized hunting cars equipped with sleeping quarters, kitchens, game storage, and dog kennels, along with the actual Railroad Gun Club, whose train car essentially served as a mobile duck camp. The episode finishes at Lake Christina, where railroad access helped turn the famous canvasback lake into one of Minnesota's legendary waterfowl destinations. This is only Part 1 of the story. Part 2 continues Thursday on the Midwest Flyways Podcast, with more railroad history, duck hunting stories, and probably a few more arguments about trains.

 Most guys don't quit a backcountry hunt because the area sucked. They quit because they're in a calorie deficit, they haven't slept, and they blew their anaerobic tank on day one. After decades of guiding, outfitting, and packing hunters into wilderness areas, this is the physiology behind the urge to quit and the three prescriptions that fix it.In this episode:Why the first two to three days are learning days, and why quitting at 50% means giving up 80–90% of your real opportunityThe 72-hour wall: how appetite decline at altitude drives muscle glycogen and cerebral glucose down at the same timeThe daily calorie bag system. 3,500–4,000 calories, and the discipline mechanism that makes you actually eat themHow sleep loss collapses your dopamine receptors and kills your motivation to huntWhy an ultralight sleep system on a non-ultralight hunt is a mistake, plus hydration timing and the pee bottleAerobic vs. anaerobic pace, and why I'd take five hours on a stalk I could do in forty-five minutes ---FOLLOW CLIFFYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/CliffGrayInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/Cliffgry/Facebook - https://facebook.com/PursuitWithCliffPursuit With Cliff Podcasthttps://pursuitwithcliff.com/interviews-and-podcasts/Cliff's Hunt Planning and Strategy Membership https://pursuitwithcliff.com/membership/Hunt.

What makes someone a good hunting partner? Is it someone who consistently puts animals on the meat pole? Maybe. In this episode of the EatWild Podcast, I sit down with Joel and Ryan Primus of Finding Nowhere to talk about the often-overlooked human side of hunting: how we learn from each other, how we handle pressure, and what it really means to be a good partner in the field. Finding Nowhere grew from Ryan's experience as a hunter, fisherman, gardener, and advocate for a more self-sufficient lifestyle, while Joel entered hunting from a very different place. With little hunting experience and a background largely disconnected from guns and hunting, Joel's journey gives the series a unique perspective on what it feels like to learn hunting from the ground up. Our conversation explores the mentor-mentee relationship and the challenges that come with putting an experienced hunter alongside someone who is still developing the mental and physical skills required in the field. We talk openly about missed shots, wounded animals, frustration, the pressure of filming, and the emotional weight of taking an animal's life. Ryan and Joel also share some hard lessons from their time together, including a memorable mountain goat hunt that tested both of them. The conversation also gave me a chance to reflect on my own experiences as a hunting partner, and how being focused on the outcome can unintentionally create pressure for the people we hunt with. We unpack what it means to slow down, communicate, understand different hunting styles, and recognize that being a good hunting partner is about much more than finding animals. This is a conversation about hunting, but more importantly, it's about patience, humility, responsibility, friendship, and learning how to share the land with other people. Key Topics The mentor-mentee relationship in hunting Joel's unconventional journey into hunting Learning to be comfortable being a beginner The responsibility of teaching new hunters Hunting pressure and performance anxiety Missed and wounded animals The emotional reality of killing an animal How frustration can affect hunting partners Communicating effectively in the field Matching hunting styles and expectations The importance of patience when mentoring Hunting ethics and responsibility in BC Gear, clothing, and preparation for challenging hunts Chronic Wasting Disease and hunter responsibility CWDBC.ca is an initiative by Hunters for BC to help educate Hunters on their role in limiting the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease in BC.

This week on the Midwest Flyways Podcast, Cal and Carter are joined by Gavin for a shorter episode after wrapping up two weekends at Game Fair. With duck season right around the corner, the guys get into a debate about why waterfowl hunter numbers are declining and whether duck hunters simply aren't as hardcore as they used to be.  The conversation covers everything from declining Minnesota waterfowl stamp sales and habitat loss to drain tile, public land access, and the changing effort hunters are willing to put in. Are fewer people hunting because there are fewer ducks and fewer places to hunt, or have modern hunters become less willing to walk into a field, knock on doors, battle bad weather, and put in the work? That leads into a bigger discussion about how technology has changed the outdoors. OnX has made finding landowners easier, modern hunting gear is better than ever, and tools like LiveScope have completely changed fishing. The guys debate whether technology is lowering the barrier to entry or simply changing what it means to be a hardcore outdoorsman. Plus, the crew recaps Game Fair, talks about the excitement of early goose season getting closer, and Gavin explains why he still keeps detailed notes on everything from weather and wind to the exact conditions surrounding a successful hunt. Topics Covered: •Why waterfowl hunter numbers are declining •Are today's duck hunters getting soft? •Drain tile and waterfowl habitat loss •Knocking on doors vs. paying an outfitter •How hunting technology has changed •Getting ready for early goose season Thanks for listening to the Midwest Flyways Podcast!

I asked 11 deer hunters the same question: What's one thing you'd tell a hunter who wants to have their best season yet?And I also pried out of them their best preparation method — the thing they do to make sure they're completely ready when it's time to hunt. And one of those answers might be the thing you need to hear before this season.I got some answers I expected, some I didn't, and one that I don't see eye to eye with our guest — and I'll tell you why when we get to it.There's also a recurring theme that I think is worth paying attention to, an overlooked stand setup that may help you seal the deal, a key mindset shift for eliminating tag soup, and a preparation revelation from Jared Scheffler that is, well… a little outside the lines.Eleven deer hunters, their best advice, their best preparation methods, and hopefully a few things that help you have your best season yet.All in this episode of the Deer IQ Podcast.* * 2A Display Pistol Mount (10% OFF Code "IQ") HERE** Complete Deer IQ Test 360 HERE • Join The First Sit Coaching Program - 10 Week Advanced Course HERE • Get a Smart Land & Hunting Plan HERE______________________________________________GENERAL INFO about ALL Deer IQ Resources HERENot sure where to start?

Iran-Linked Cyberattack Hits UK Power Facility, ShinyHunters Phish ReliaQuest, LockBit Claims US Bancorp, Teams Blocks Bots, Expired Visa Card Flaw Cyber Security Today host David Shipley reports a UK power facility was taken offline for four days in July by a cyberattack linked to Iran Nexus hackers, though damage was contained to a single small generator. ReliaQuest confirms ShinyHunters targeted its staff with phone-based social engineering and a fake reliaquest.claims SSO page, gaining only temporary view-only Okta dashboard access before being blocked by device trust controls, with no customer data affected.  LockBit claims it hacked US Bancorp, but the bank says the incident traces to a fourth-party contractor outside its environment and LockBit has provided no proof. Microsoft is rolling out a Teams policy to automatically block detected external bots from meetings. UMass Amherst researchers found some expired Visa cards can be "zombified" for contactless payments via a two-phone relay, depending on issuer and bank checks. 00:00 Top Headlines 00:26 Iran Linked Power Attack 01:44 ShinyHunters Targets ReliaQuest 04:16 LockBit Claims Bank Hack 05:46 Teams Blocks External Bots 07:42 Expired Visa Card Zombie 09:25 Closing Notes Tribute

A mature animal does not have to see a hunter to know that danger is nearby. In this episode, we sit down with outdoor innovator and inventor Brett Andrews for a fascinating conversation about WRAITH—a new approach to hunter concealment designed to go far beyond ordinary scent-control sprays. Brett explains the ideas, experimentation and product-development journey behind what WRAITH calls its 4-Way “SENSE” Eliminator. Rather than concentrating exclusively on human odor, WRAITH is designed to help reduce four potential detection signals: scent and volatile organic compounds, ultraviolet reflectance, bioelectric fields, and thermal or infrared signatures. The conversation explores how animals experience their environment differently than humans, why hunters should think beyond what they can personally see or smell, and how chemistry may offer an additional layer of concealment in the field. Brett also shares the entrepreneurial side of bringing an unconventional outdoor product to market—the testing, skepticism, setbacks and persistence involved in turning an ambitious idea into a product hunters can evaluate for themselves. Brett's background in hunting, outdoor-product development and scent-control technology The experiences that led to the creation of WRAITH Why controlling human odor remains important—but may be only one part of the concealment equation How UV brighteners in clothing and detergents may make hunting apparel more noticeable The concepts of bioelectric detection, thermal gradients and infrared signatures WRAITH's four-part approach to scent, UV, bioelectric and thermal concealment Why the product is supplied as a concentrated powder rather than a conventional premixed spray How activated carbon, zeolite and other ingredients are intended to work together Applying WRAITH to outerwear, boots, packs, blinds and other hunting equipment The importance of field testing instead of relying solely on marketing claims What it takes to challenge long-established thinking within the hunting industry Brett's vision for the future of full-spectrum hunter concealment WRAITH is designed to address odor through multiple processes rather than simply covering human scent with another fragrance. The company describes its approach as oxidizing, neutralizing, adsorbing and suppressing odor-producing compounds. Many common laundry products contain optical brighteners. Brett discusses why hunting clothes that appear normal to human eyes may look different within the ultraviolet portion of the spectrum. Every living body produces a measurable electrical field. WRAITH's formula is intended to reduce or alter the strength of that signal through a spray-on treatment that can be applied to existing clothing and equipment. The conversation examines thermal contrast, radiant heat and the possibility that animals may respond to temperature differences at close range. WRAITH is designed to reduce the strength of those signals rather than make a hunter literally invisible to thermal imaging. WRAITH is not presented as a replacement for woodsmanship. Hunters still need to understand the wind, plan their approach, control movement, remain quiet and make responsible decisions in the field. Instead, the product represents another potential layer within a complete concealment strategy. Whether you are a whitetail hunter, bowhunter, turkey hunter, predator hunter or simply interested in the science and innovation behind modern hunting equipment, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at how much animals may perceive—and how much hunters still have to learn. Brett Andrews is an outdoor-product inventor associated with TRHP Outdoors and Hunt Lab Technologies. His work includes the development of WRAITH and other products intended to solve practical problems for hunters, anglers and outdoorsmen. Explore WRAITH's official product information, application directions, testing explanations and four-way concealment technology through the official WRAITH Hunting website.

Listen to the complete episode to hear Brett explain the thinking behind WRAITH, the challenges of developing a new category of hunting technology and why he believes concealment should involve more than camouflage and scent control.

In this episode of Ten Minute Tuesday, the guys dive into one of the most tragic and legendary stories in Midwest waterfowl hunting history: the Armistice Day Blizzard of 1940. November 11 started unusually warm across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and the Upper Mississippi River, but it also brought something duck hunters had been waiting all fall to see, the northern migration. As enormous flights of mallards, canvasbacks, redheads, and other waterfowl poured south, conditions began changing faster than anyone expected. The episode follows firsthand accounts from hunters caught in the storm as temperatures plummeted, winds reached extreme speeds, and rain transformed into driving sleet and snow. Hunters became stranded on islands and in river bottoms, boats swamped, visibility disappeared, and some burned handmade wooden decoys just to stay alive. Others attempted desperate swims through freezing water or survived the night huddled around fires. Tragically, not everyone made it home. The guys also explore the staggering scale of the storm across the Midwest and how the disaster ultimately exposed weaknesses in America's weather forecasting system. For waterfowl hunters, the Armistice Day Blizzard remains both an incredible piece of duck hunting history and a sobering reminder of how quickly the perfect migration day can become something completely different.

There are many organizations working on hunters' behalf behind the scenes, and one of them is led by Chuck Sykes. He's executive director of the Council to Advance Hunting and Shooting Sports, facilitating hunter recruitment, retention and re-activation across the country. The group serves as a brokerage, a clearing-house, of data, research, information and initiatives to support state wildlife agencies, non-profits and conservation groups.  We'll talk about why more hunters are critical to conservation, how it's funded, and who are the most likely successful new hunters (hint: not kids, according to the research). Chuck will share what they're after when starting to hunt, as well as simple steps we can follow to be their mentor. "Fix It" has one more information source in your search for more hunting ground, and listeners and viewers offer up their promises for the upcoming season - to themselves, their buddies and their dogs.

What happens when a story still believes in morality—but no longer believes in objective moral truth?In The Running Man (2025), Ben Richards is motivated by his love for his family, and that love is genuinely good. But the story gradually makes family the highest good, replacing objective moral order with relational loyalty. The question becomes not “What is right?” but “Who do you protect?”Zena Dell Lowe examines what this reveals about a larger shift in modern Hollywood storytelling: corruption becomes inevitable, justice becomes impossible, and heroes learn to navigate broken systems rather than overcome them.This isn't simply a critique of The Running Man. It's a look at the worldview underneath the story—and what happens when a good thing becomes an ultimate thing.Is there something worth choosing above that?Watch this episode on YouTubeFree Resources for Writers:Seven Deadly Plot Points FREE TRAINING VIDEO Free Video Tutorial for ScreenwritingSign up for The Storyteller's Digest, my exclusive bi-monthly newsletter for writers and storytellers.

177 The Creek Kings Case – With Mark Williams What happens when modern poaching meets social media fame? Ohio Wildlife Officer Mark Williams shares the story of the Creek Kings case, an investigation that exposed years of illegal deer hunting hidden behind a successful YouTube channel. What began with a park visitor finding hunting equipment in a metro park quickly grew into a massive digital investigation involving trail cameras, cell phone data, deleted evidence, fake hunting locations, sponsorship money, and some very ambitious trophy hunters. Mark takes us through the case from the first clue to the final sentencing and explains how technology helped both the offenders and the officers who caught them.

This week on The Voice of the Duck Hunter, some of the biggest voices in waterfowl come together for a special roundtable recorded at the Delta Waterfowl Duck Hunters Expo. Joel Brice, Ramsey Russell, Jeff Stanfield, Jon Sandvik, Billy Campbell, , and Joey Vassallo sit down for an important conversation about something that affects every duck hunter—the need for a stronger, more unified waterfowl community.From public land competition and social media negativity to declining habitat and hunter recruitment, the group digs into why duck hunters can be so hard on each other—and what needs to change. They discuss the unwritten rules of public land hunting, respecting fellow hunters, welcoming newcomers instead of running them off, and why the way we represent waterfowl hunting matters for its future.The conversation also explores how duck hunting has changed over the decades. Better gear, shrinking habitat, increased hunting pressure, fewer secret spots, and easier access to information have all changed the experience. But despite those challenges, everyone at the table agrees on something simple: duck hunting is stronger when duck hunters stand together.They also discuss the importance of introducing new hunters, getting kids into the field, protecting the resource, and ensuring the traditions we value today are still here for generations to come.At the end of the day, everyone at the table shares the same goal: more ducks, more opportunities, and a stronger waterfowl hunting community worth passing on to the next generation.Website and Social Media Links: Delta Waterfowl: https://deltawaterfowl.org Facebook: /DeltaFans/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deltawaterfowl/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DeltaWaterfowl/Delta Waterfowl:  https://deltawaterfowl.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DeltaFans/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deltawaterfowl/Twitter: https://twitter.com/DeltaWaterfowl/

On this episode of The Journey Within Podcast, host Mark Peterson is joined by Mike Sawicki, creator of the UrScore App. Mike shares the story behind the idea for UrScore and how it evolved into an AI-powered trophy-scoring tool designed specifically for hunters. Mark and Mike share stories from testing the app in the field and discuss how UrScore can be an incredible resource for hunters, outfitters, guides, and anyone looking to evaluate trophy potential. The concept is simple: take a photo, enter the distance the animal is from the camera, and let URScore provide a predicted score using AI-powered technology that works both online and offline. From the field to the planning process, UrScore is changing the way hunters evaluate animals and make decisions with confidence. Try the UrScore App today and take your shot with confidence.

Louisiana is Sportsman's Paradise, and Hunters for the Hungry Louisiana is giving hunters and fishermen another way to put that tradition to work.Host Avery Davidson sits down with Hunters for the Hungry Louisiana Executive Director Julie Grunewald to talk about how the organization turns donated deer, hogs, fish and other protein into meals for people in need. Julie explains the upcoming Clean Out Your Freezer Day, how hunters can donate freshly harvested game at participating processors at no cost to them, and how those donations are kept as local as possible to help feed neighbors in communities across Louisiana. Show Notes:Hunters for the Hungry Louisiana - https://www.h4hla.org/Clean Out Your Freezer Day — Aug. 23, 2026 - https://www.h4hla.org/freezer-dayFind a participating deer or hog processor - https://www.h4hla.org/processorsFind a Louisiana Farm Bureau office in your parish here.Become a member of Louisiana Farm Bureau today.

The plan hasn’t been enforced yet — that’s the only reason anyone’s still walking around out there without a permit. Once it is, over 775,000 acres go non-motorized and non-mechanized, permanently, with no path to ever reopen them. Mountain bikes included. Motorized groups get capped at 24 vehicles per route per day before you need a federal permit. Hunters can’t retrieve game or gather firewood off the road by any mechanized means. Hikers can get locked to designated trails only, dispersed camping gets restricted to numbered sites, dogs need to be leashed everywhere, and rock climbers can’t place a new bolt without commission approval. One sentence in the plan — Paragraph 14 — is written broadly enough to prohibit basically anything not yet invented that someone decides is “inconsistent” with protecting the monument. We also get into the two-tier trick land management plans use to delay the real fight: the big decisions get locked in years before anyone announces them, so by the time you actually feel the restriction, it’s framed as “just following the existing plan” instead of a new decision anyone has to defend. And we cover the same legal playbook now showing up at Oregon Dunes, after already being used to shrink Oceano Dunes by up to 80%. If you care about keeping public land open — hiking, biking, wheeling, hunting, camping, all of it — this is the episode to actually understand what’s at stake instead of just reacting to a headline.

America is losing its hunters.The number of Americans who hunt has been declining for decades, and that trend raises questions that go far beyond hunting itself. What happens to conservation when fewer people hunt? What happens to our relationship with land, animals, food, and the outdoors? And what does the disappearance of hunting tell us about the broader changes taking place in American culture?In this episode of Conversations That Matter, Jon Harris examines the decline of hunting in America and why the loss of hunters could have consequences that most Americans have not considered.Hunting is not simply a recreational pastime. It has historically connected generations of Americans to the land, provided food, supported local economies, and played an important role in funding wildlife conservation. The question is whether those traditions can survive when fewer young Americans take them up.The 2022 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation recorded 14.4 million hunters age 16 and older. At the same time, researchers and wildlife organizations have raised growing concerns about declining participation and the difficulty of replacing older hunters with younger generations.So why are Americans hunting less? And what are we losing when the American hunter disappears?Join Jon Harris for another episode of Conversations That Matter.#Hunting #America #ConservationJon's Music: jonharristunes.comTo Support the Podcast: https://www.jonharrismedia.com/support/Become a Patronhttps://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcastSubstack: https://substack.com/@jonharris Follow Jon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonharris1989Follow Jon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonharris1989/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Most hunters are chasing better gear when the real edge is a better body, a better mindset, and a better plan. Preston Meyer of 1st Phorm Outdoors joins me to break down the philosophy behind training for the field, why the outdoors gets better when you get healthier, and why the next big win for hunters might have nothing to do with the newest bow.Check out the new website:https://www.redbeardoutdoors.net/DISCOUNTS and Support The Show 1st Phorm Favorites:https://1stphorm.com/products/post-workout-stack/?a_aid=RedBeardOutdoorsSheepFeet Custom Orthotics:https://sheepfeetoutdoors.com/?ref=REDBEARDCode - REDBEARDLAST LIGHT:https://lastlightllc.com/?ref=REDBEARDCode - REDBEARDBarbell Apparel:Https://www.barbellapparel.com/redbeardCode - RedBeardOllin Digiscoping:https://ollin.co/?ref=REDBEARDCode: RedBeardGoRuck:https://alnk.to/gKTTRMeAXIL:https://goaxil.com/REDBEARDCode - REDBEARDSumet:https://www.sumet.com/?ref=RedBeardCode - RedbeardAxil:https://goaxil.com/REDBEARDCode - RedBeard TuffJug:https://tuffjug.com?sca_ref=10529106.pS2vdXlnFlA0z5p3Code - REDBEARDStar-Batt:https://star-batt.com/ref/redbeardoutdoors/Code: RedBeardoutdoorsGrayboe:https://www.grayboe.com/?aff=15Code - REDBEARDCRUZR Saddles:https://cruzr.com/id/20/Code - RedBeardPrimary Arms:https://alnk.to/fwuB01v Initial Ascent:https://initialascent.comCode: RedbeardPeax Equipment:https://alnk.to/dpuspH7DADGANG Get 15% off:https://www.dadgang.co/JOHNATHAN02254Dagr & Nott Blades:https://www.dagrandnott.co?sca_ref=9519989.pIv5D2PNiS6w2k84 Dark Energy:https://darkenergy.com/?ref=johnathan_mccormickCode: RedBeard Canvas Cutter:https://canvascutter.com/?ref=REDBEARDCode – Redbeard Montana Knife Companyhttps://alnk.to/74y414uTulster Holsters and more:https://tulster.com/?aff=REDBEARDCode - REDBEARDOryx Outdoors:https://oryx-outdoors.com/?ref=Yu98Gl-YQxOwFCode - REDBEARDWOOX:https://wooxstore.com?sca_ref=11695593.52SYOvfqCIQruCode: REDBEARDWILDE ARROW:Wildarrowarchery.comCode - REDBEARDGet Your RPM Scope Rings here:https://www.rpmflg.com?bg_ref=O2vJHHcGBXCode - REDBEARDScheels:https://alnk.to/cm0F8wdSlayer Calls:www.slayercalls.comCode - REDBEARD15The Bow Hitch:https://thebowhitch.comCode – RBOD

Two tales. Two very different nightmares. And two reckonings waiting in the darkness. In our latest episode, we journey from the blood-soaked wilderness to the quiet corridors of grief, pairing Jack Finn's savage tale of supernatural retribution, “The Hunters,” with Ambrose Ibsen's melancholy ghost story of love and regret, “The Smell of Old Paper.” One story asks what happens when nature finally gets its revenge. The other asks whether the things we leave unsaid ever truly leave us.Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/

This week on the Midwest Flyways Podcast, Joey joins some of the biggest voices in waterfowl for a special roundtable recorded at the Delta Waterfowl Expo. Ramsey Russell, Jeff Stanfield, Jon Sandvik, Billy Campbell, and Joel Brice sit down alongside Joey to talk about something that affects every duck hunter—the need for a stronger, more unified waterfowl community.   From public land competition and social media negativity to declining habitat and hunter recruitment, the group digs into why duck hunters can be so hard on each other and what needs to change. They discuss the unwritten rules of public land hunting, respecting other hunters, helping newcomers instead of running them off, and why the way we represent waterfowl hunting matters for its future.   The conversation also explores how duck hunting has changed over the decades. Better gear, shrinking habitat, increased pressure, fewer secret spots, and easier access to information have changed the experience—but the guys agree that treating each other better can go a long way. Joey also shares why introducing new hunters and getting kids into the field has always been such an important part of Midwest Flyways.   At the end of the day, everyone at the table shares the same goal: more ducks, more hunters, and a waterfowl community that's worth passing on to the next generation.   Topics Covered: •Unifying the waterfowl hunting community •Public land hunting etiquette •Social media's impact on duck hunting •Hunter competition and pressure •Declining waterfowl habitat •Introducing new hunters to duck hunting •Getting kids into the outdoors •Respecting other hunters and the resource •Passing hunting traditions to the next generation   Thanks for listening to the Midwest Flyways Podcast!
