TOP 5 THINGS TO DO OUTDOORS IN APRIL Take A Hike: Weather is warmer now and the first flowers of spring are blooming, go alone or with the family and explore a local nature trail. Photograph Nature: From signs of spring to new baby animals to summer birds arriving daily; Nature Photography is a fun way to share the excitement of spring. With almost all carrying a cellphone, your camera is already in your pocket - now use it to capture life. Windy? Fly A Kite: When is the last time you flew a kite, or have your children ever gotten the chance. April tends to have a few windy days so buy a kite for some fun. Visit a Greenhouse or Botanical Garden: Once the weather warms, we all get the itch to be outside. On the days not so nice, take a stroll through a local greenhouse or botanical garden to become inspired on what your gardening plans might look like. A great way to educate yourself on the various plants that will thrive in your climate zone. Enjoy A Bike Ride: Get the bicycle out, air up the tires and hit the trail or road. The weather is perfect for a sweatshirt or light jacket plus the addition of seeing nature along the way makes for a perfect biking combination… just don't forget the helmet! WHY COOK ON GAS GRIDDLE BBQ; HOW TO SEASON & MAINTAIN A GRIDDLE Grilling in the bbq world or using a smoker has been a long lasting tradition when it comes to the outdoors. If you haven't purchased a griddle to try, you might realize you are missing out. We jumped on the bandwagon of adding the outdoor propane griddle a few years back. As a result of the diversity, we now own two in different sizes.  The first purchase was a 4 burner propane gas Pit Boss Griddle. We chose this one for the front grease cleanout location as where the griddle stays on our cabin deck, that is more accessible. The second purchase was a 17” propane gas Blackstone Griddle. After realizing how easy it was to cook all our meals on the larger version, we opted for a more compact one to take along camping, going to the lake or for picnics.  CONS OF BBQING: Regardless if it is a Griddle, Grill or Smoker; we have learned the same issue applies and that is providing an area with minimal wind. Now there are “windshields” one can make or build, but we have had to watch the wind regardless when using any of these. NOTE: Do not use a griddle, grill or smoker inside of buildings. GRIDDLE SEASONING & MAINTENANCE Once purchasing a griddle, before use it is an ABSOLUTE MUST that one reads the manufacturer's booklet regarding the Preparation, Seasoning and Maintenance of the griddle to ensure the longevity of the cooking top but also so that food doesn't stick and tastes desirable. 5 Easy Steps To Season A Gas Griddle BBQ Rust Removal: New or Old moisture may collect on the cooking surface causing a patch of rust or a rough spot. Scrub away any rust or rough spots using a Scotch Brite pad. Clean Griddle: If the griddle is new from the factory, it may come with a thin oil coating. To clean us a small amount of mild dish soap in warm water to remove the factory coating. Proceed to also wipe off everything else after use with a clean damp cloth. Seasoning A Griddle: A griddle must be seasoned before use. First turn all burners on high heat, allowing for the griddle cooking surface to begin changing color. Using high smoke point cooking oil like flaxseed, drizzle it all over the surface. Careful it is HOT. Have ready a pair of tongs or heat-resistant gloves, take a lint-free cloth as the goal is to evenly wipe or coat the entire cooking surface including the tight corners as well as the outside of the griddle surface. Wait and Repeat 3x: This is a slow process, and needs to be repeated a minimum of three times. The oil will start to smoke with the burners being on High. Wait until you see that the smoke has stopped. Drizzle and wipe another coating of oil thoroughly. Repeat the process until there have been at least 3 applications. READ YOUR GRIDDLE SEASONING INSTRUCTIONS. Coat To Protect: Once the initial oil seasoning is complete, turn the burners off so that the surface may cool to where it is warm to the touch. Using a lint free cloth, begin wiping a sealing product such as BuzzyWaxx (beeswax). Bacon Up - Bacon Grease, or manufacturer's of griddles offer their own products. A thin coat is all that is needed, just make sure you reach all the corners. After completing these 5 simple steps, your griddle is ready for breakfast, lunch or dinner! So now start slinging some hash, becoming your own hibachi backyard grill or even try baking cookies - ENJOY!

Read or listen to the story of the dramatic rescue of a family in Alaska, and we spotlight a high school club in Minnesota that is shaping future conservation leaders. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with The Bend Radio Show & Podcast, your news outlet for the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Season 5, Episode 230 Local Alaska Pilots and the National Guard Saved a Family from a Frozen Lake The Heart-Stopping Rescue of a Pilot and His Daughters on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula According to the Associated Press and OutdoorLife.com, a dramatic rescue unfolded on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula this week after a pilot and his two daughters were stranded for hours on the wing of their half-sunken plane in a frozen lake. The family's plane, a Piper PA-12 Super Cruiser, crashed Sunday evening during a sightseeing trip. As night fell, the pilot and his daughters, who have not been identified, were forced to cling to the wing of the plane, waiting in the freezing cold for help. It wasn't long before the tight-knit community of Alaska's bush pilots sprang into action. When the plane was first reported missing, local pilots immediately rallied to join the search. By Monday morning, a group of volunteers, including pilot Terry Godes, took to the skies in their own planes, hoping to spot the wreckage. Godes, who had seen a Facebook post about the missing family, was the first to spot the plane, with the family waving from the wing, signaling they were still alive. After Godes radioed in the location, the Alaska State Troopers and National Guard were quickly alerted. The National Guard sent in a C-130 transport plane and a helicopter for the rescue operation, but conditions were challenging. The ice was too soft to land on, and the rotor wash threatened to blow the children off the wing. Despite these difficulties, the National Guard performed a flawless, one-of-a-kind recovery, saving the family from the icy wilderness. The pilot and his daughters were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The rescue, which involved the quick thinking and coordination of local pilots, the Alaska State Troopers, and the National Guard, was a testament to the strength of Alaska's community and the courage of those who risked their lives to bring a family home safely.

From ice fishing events to cleanups, the club is passionate about connecting kids to nature. One of their most exciting projects this spring is revitalizing a 13-acre forest at Bayview Elementary School, where students will work with forestry experts to restore the space, plant trees, and create better walking trails. The Conservation Club started small with just a handful of students but has grown into a vibrant 180-member group. Full-fledged members earn a school letter at Waconia High. These students take part in activities like hunting, camping, and fossil hunting, all while giving back through cleanups at local lakes and parks. Waconia's strong community support, from donations to volunteers, helps make the club's work possible. If your school wants to make a difference, consider starting an outdoor club! It's a great way to connect students with nature, foster teamwork, and give back to the community. Waconia High School's Conservation Club shows that, with passion and support, great things can grow.

Season 5, Episode 229 Skunk Mating Season  Skunk mating season runs from February through March, bringing stronger odors into neighborhoods. Male skunks travel up to six miles to find a mate. The pungent smell is part of their courtship rituals. Females release strong odors to repel unwanted males, and males may even fight over a mate, intensifying the smell. Dealing with Skunk Odors on a Dog If you or your dog gets sprayed, here's a simple DIY solution: Mix hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and dish soap to neutralize the scent. Be cautious near your pet's eyes and fur, as the peroxide may bleach. Wear OLD CLOTHES. Mix 3 to 4 parts 3% hydrogen peroxide to 1 part baking soda, along with a teaspoon of dish detergent.  Apply this mixture to your dog while it's still bubbling IMPORTANT KEY WARNINGS: Do not use the solution near your dog's eyes, and be careful when applying around the mouth. Peroxide may bleach your dog's fur, an effect that is especially noticeable on black or brown dogs.  Peroxide may also bleach any other material it comes in contact with, like clothing, towels or furniture. Skunk Safety Tips Keep pets on a leash outside to avoid skunk encounters. Ensure your dog's rabies vaccinations are current, as skunks can carry rabies.

In this week's episode I have my good buddy Adam Weaver on the show again. I've had Adam on in the past to discuss turkey hunting tactics. In our last episode, Adam and I discussed locating gobblers, and having multiple plans of attack for different turkeys when one doesn't quite pan out. In this episode, we do a bit more of a deep dive into actual hunting scenarios. We discuss things like when to call and when to shut up, when to sit tight or when to make a move on a bird, taking a turkeys temperature and knowing what types of calling sequences will make you more successful in a specific hunt... and more! Adam is a wealth of turkey hunting knowledge, and I hope you all pull one, if not a few nuggets of information from this episode that will help you harvest a bird this spring! Thanks for listening.

Want to help the environment and try something new? Discover how eating invasive species can help the environment! Learn how proper prep avoids risky situations. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with The Bend Radio Show & Podcast, your news outlet for the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News!   Season 5, Episode 228 Why Eat Invasive Species Like Swamp Rats?    Invasive species such as swamp rats, green iguanas, and feral hogs are wreaking havoc on local ecosystems, consuming native vegetation, and threatening wildlife. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service encourages people to hunt and eat these species to reduce their population and mitigate their environmental impact. While it might sound odd to consider eating swamp rats, they are often described as having a mild, rabbit-like flavor. Swamp rats were introduced to the U.S. for the fur trade but have since spread uncontrollably. They are prolific breeders, causing damage to wetlands by eating plant roots and accelerating erosion. Should You Try Swamp Rat Meat? If you're up for a culinary adventure, swamp rat meat can be a sustainable choice. Experienced chefs in Louisiana turn these rodents into gourmet dishes like gumbo and Nutria à l'Orange. Some even say it pairs wonderfully with wine, such as a vibrant Zinfandel, or with a refreshing beer. Though the idea might be daunting for some, swamp rats are not only eco-friendly but also tasty. One commenter on the Fish and Wildlife Service post above mentioned they thought swamp rat tasted like pork loin and found it delicious. If you're curious, it could be worth trying—especially if you're looking to support local ecosystems. A Delicious Alternative: Irish Corned Venison Recipe While swamp rat meat may not be for everyone, wild game offers numerous other flavorful and ethical alternatives. One such dish is Irish Corned Venison, a great way to enjoy venison, a lean and nutritious meat. Corned venison is easy to prepare and perfect for a family dinner or holiday meal. Ingredients for Irish Corned Venison: 4 pounds venison roast (any cut, ideally from the shoulder or leg) 1/2 Gallon Water 1/2 cup Cure (Tender quick) 1/2 cup Kosher Salt 1/3 cup White Sugar 1 TBSP Whole Peppercorns 1 TBSP Mustard Seeds 1 TBSP Coriander Seeds 1 TBSP Dried Thyme 1 TBSP Caraway Seeds 6 Bay Leaves   Instructions Prepare the Brine: In a large pot, combine the kosher salt, brown sugar, peppercorns, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, allspice, cinnamon, garlic, bay leaves, and pink curing salt. Add enough water to cover the venison and bring to a simmer. Stir until the salt and sugar dissolve completely. Cool the Brine: Once the brine is well-mixed and simmered, allow it to cool completely. This step is crucial for safety and flavor. Brine the Venison: Place the venison roast in a large non-reactive container (glass or food-safe plastic). Pour the cooled brine over the meat, ensuring it is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for about 5 days. Turn the venison once a day for even curing. Cook the Corned Venison: After the meat has cured, rinse it thoroughly to remove excess salt. Place it in an Instant Pot or Slow Cooker with about an inch of water. Cook until tender. (Example: Instant Pot - 50 Minutes on Pressure Cook with natural release. Slow Cooker - on High for 3-4 hours.) For extra flavor, you can add vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and cabbage during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the corned venison thinly and serve with the vegetables. The tender, flavorful meat pairs beautifully with a simple mustard sauce or alongside your favorite potatoes. Conclusion: Embrace Wild Game and Sustainable Eating Eating invasive species and wild game like venison can help protect our environment while providing you with a unique and flavorful meal. Whether you're adventurous enough to try swamp rat meat or you prefer the familiar taste of venison, these meats are a sustainable way to support wildlife conservation. Try the Irish Corned Venison recipe for your next dinner and join the movement of eco-conscious eating.

Taking the necessary steps to prepare before heading out can ensure you and your loved ones stay safe while enjoying your adventure. Stay vigilant, stay prepared, and most importantly, enjoy your time.

In today's episode I have my good buddy Adam Weaver on. Adam is one of the best turkey hunters I know. I've been turkey hunting with Adam for a little over 4 years and he has taught me a ton about turkey behavior, calling and turkey hunting in general. Today Adam and I discussed a multitude of things.
