A 2001 rule crafted by the U.S. Forest Service banned road construction and most commercial logging on nearly 45 million acres of public lands. Now the Trump administration wants to rescind that rule, which it deems overly restrictive.

00:08 — Josh Jackson is a writer, photographer. He advocates for public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Through his Forgotten Lands Project, he employs storytelling and visual narratives to inspire engagement with California's unknown landscapes. His latest book is The Enduring Wild: A Journey Into California's Public Lands. The post Fund Drive Special with Josh Jackson appeared first on KPFA.

I spent quite a bit of my career as mostly an outdoor writer, before filming hunts and recording podcasts took over. That early role taught me how to use weasel words like a champion. Actually, it was reader responses that taught me to cover my ass with generalizations. What happens when you write hunting articles, even benign hunting articles you assume won't piss people off, is that you end up pissing people off anyway. So, you start to think...

This week's conversation is with a man named John, who you all may know as "The Public Land Advocate"!  If you follow his page, you know John passionately uses his platform to advocate for any and everyone to be able to use our beloved public lands.  We invited him to join us for an episode to discuss those same public spaces, the threats that seem to constantly attempt to limit access or take them away, and why it is important to protect our public access.  John takes the conversation beyond just scenarios applicable to hunters, but how all outdoor enthusiasts find value in public land access, and the importance of working together to preserve these places for future generations.  John originally found Fall Obsession back when we released episode 220 in which we discussed anti-hunters, haters and social media trolls.  We discuss the hunter's social media presence, and the importance of representing hunting in an authentic sense.  John is adamant that regardless of the issue at hand, if we can get more folks in the outdoors, we win.  Tune in. 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/)

With no guides and no help, the odds were stacked against him — but after grinding out the tough conditions, he finally called in and tagged his first ever bull elk.In this week's Hunt Companion, Jeremy shares the full story of his Kentucky public land elk hunt, the challenges of DIY bowhunting, and what it meant to notch his first bull deep in the mountains.SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL:https://www.youtube.com/c/HUNTRTUBEShop HUNTR Merch:https://wearehuntr.com/HUNTR Podcast is presented by:Hoyt Archery: https://hoyt.com (Code HUNTR for 20% off apparel)DeerGro: https://www.deergro.com (Code HUNTR for 15% off)Predator Camo: https://www.predatorcamo.com/ (Code HUNTR for 20% off)Beast Broadheads: https://beastbroadheads.com/ (Code HUNTR for 10% off)Lone Wolf Custom Gear: https://www.lonewolfcustomgear.com/ (Code HUNTR for 10% off)MTN Tough: http://lab.mtntough.com/checkout/subscribe/purchase?code=huntr&plan=monthly (Code HUNTR for 1 free month)RackHub: https://www.rack-hub.com/huntr (Code HUNTR for 10% off)Pure Wildlife Blends: https://www.purewildlifeblends.com (Code HUNTR for 10% off)Primos: https://www.primos.com/ (Code HUNTR for 15% off)Bushnell: https://www.bushnell.com/ (Code HUNTR for 15% off)

There's something timeless and transformative about America's public lands. From rugged high desert plateaus to windswept ocean cliffs, these wild, open spaces offer more than just breathtaking views, they tell the story of who we are. In this episode, we explore the deep connection between people and place, diving into the history, meaning, and future of the public lands that belong to us all.Public lands are not just outdoor destinations; they are living reflections of our shared values. They hold the footsteps of Indigenous peoples, the ambitions of early explorers, and the everyday stories of hikers, campers, anglers, and families who return to them time and time again. These lands are part of our national identity and a powerful expression of democracy, open to all and protected for future generations.As we recognize National Public Lands Day, we're reminded that appreciation is only the beginning. True stewardship means showing up, speaking out, and taking responsibility for preserving these irreplaceable spaces. Every trail walked, grove visited, and river crossed calls us to protect what has been entrusted to us.Join us as we reflect on the magic of public lands, why they matter now more than ever, and how you can take part in ensuring their stories continue long into the future.Send us a textPlease follow the show so you never miss an episode.

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - SRD staff will prepare a staff report identifying public lands on Quadra Island that may be available for affordable housing development. This is the second time that Regional Director Robyn Mawhinney of Area C brought forward a motion asking for a report and in both cases she was opposed by Directors from Campbell River and Area D. They successfully blocked it at the August 20th SRD Board meeting, but an amended motion passed on September 17 In the unedited audio of the meeting that follows, Campbell River Director Robert Kerr stated the Director of Area C should have filed a notice of motion, rather than making a motion from the floor. Campbell River Director Susan Sinnott claimed the report will not accomplish what Quadra wants and said they do things differently in Campbell River. Regional Director Robyn Mawhinney of Area C described her relationship with the  Discovery Islands Affordable Housing Society, a volunteer organization on Quadra Island. She is not being familiar with the way  Campbell River does housing projects, but the SRD has a regional housing service and it would be great if they could support an affordable housing project on Quadra Island. Cortes Island Director Mark Vonesch supported the motion, reminding the board that we are in a housing crisis and there is more than one way to get housing projects done. The motion passed despite opposing votes from Campbell River DIrectors Chapman, Kerr and Sinnott, as well as Alternate Director Browne for Area D. SRD staff will be looking for public lands within a reasonable distance from the Village Centres of Heriot Bay and Quathiaski Cove.

Public land is sometimes looked at a place for poor people to hunt, and that is true. It can also be a place of freedom, exploration, learning, and it can also be home to some real giant bucks if you put in the time and effort to find them. Well, John Breeze is one of those guys that has put in the time and garnered the experience necessary to hunt some truly exceptional whitetails. So, if you're looking for some good ideas on how to tackle public land, you'll love this episode! We do start this episode off on a lighthearted note though because Jordan and I just finished our first USPSA match, and let me tell you, it was a fun and humbling experience.

When people think about history, especially armed conflicts, many picture dusty textbooks, old maps and long-forgotten generals. But here in Pennsylvania, history isn't just words on a page—it's written into the very ground beneath our feet.From the rolling hills of Gettysburg, where the fate of a nation turned in just three days, to the banks of the Brandywine, where the Revolutionary War nearly lost its footing, to the quiet frontier where settlers clashed in the Whiskey Rebellion—Pennsylvania has been a crossroads for some of the most important struggles in American history.In fact, you can't tell the history of America without looking at the battles that scarred Pennsylvania's landscape. When hatchets, arrows, bullets, swords and cannons left thousands of dead bodies on what was once was peaceful forests and fields.It's also true that you can't tell the stories of Pennsylvania's parks, forests and public lands without looking at the battles that shaped our history. Places like Point State Park, Washington Crossing State Park and Fort Necessity National Battlefield are just a couple of the public lands that we can enjoy and appreciate today.Not to mention places like Colonel Denning State Park, Francis Slocum State Park and Ricketts Glen State Park which are named after influential service members and survivors of battles. The very parks we visit, trails we hike and sites we explore have meaning. And it's important that we know about these hallowed grounds. Now I understand that history is not for everyone. But I think it's all in how you learn about it. History isn't just about battle lines, troop movements and bloody war stories. It's so much more than that.It's about ordinary people—farmers, shopkeepers, immigrants, and families—whose lives were upended by battles happening in their backyards. It's about how communities responded to chaos, how a landscape carried on the memory of those lost and how the echoes of cannon fire shaped the Pennsylvania we live in today. So even if you don't think you're a “history person,” stick around. Because the battles that happened here aren't just about the past—they're about understanding the public lands we have right now.On this episode, I speak with Brady Crytzer. Brady teaches history at Robert Morris University and is the author of several books about Pennsylvania history. Be sure to support our 2025 sponsors:Keystone Trails AssociationPurple Lizard MapsPennsylvania Parks and Forests FoundationSisters' SunflowersSupport the showVisit our website to learn more about the podcast, to purchase merch and to find out about our incredible sponsors.

Paul Hendricks is the Executive Director of the Conservation Alliance, a coalition of more than 270 businesses working together to protect wild places across North America. Founded nearly four decades ago by Patagonia, REI, The North Face, and Kelty, the Conservation Alliance has grown into one of the most important forces in conservation—pooling dollars, influence, and a collective business voice to support grassroots campaigns that keep public lands and waters healthy for generations to come. At a time when those places are under constant pressure, the Conservation Alliance is showing that businesses don't have to sit on the sidelines—they can be a powerful part of the solution. Paul's own path to this role winds through some of the most interesting corners of the conservation and environmental worlds. After earning a few advanced degrees, he started at Global Greengrants Fund, working with grassroots activists around the globe. He then joined Patagonia's legendary environmental team, where he learned firsthand how a company can weave values into every decision. From there he helped build sustainability programs at Rivian, tackling the climate footprint of a car company from the inside. And woven through all of that is a through-line of humility, service, and adventure. In this conversation, Paul and I talk about the roots of his love for the outdoors, the mentors and lessons that shaped his career, and what it's like to step into the hot seat as a first-time executive director. We dig into the Conservation Alliance's mission and why business advocacy matters, the current threats facing public lands, and how Paul stays grounded in turbulent times. We also talk about family, leadership, failure, and why hope is not just possible but necessary. It's a candid, thoughtful conversation with someone who's not only shaping the future of conservation, but doing it with humility, persistence, and just enough humor to keep it human. I've had the privilege of knowing Paul for almost 15 years–we met when he first moved to Colorado, became running and climbing partners, and have logged more hours together in the mountains and had more meaningful conversations than I can count. Watching him grow into this role has been inspiring, both for the positions he's held and for the way he's carried himself along the way. --- Paul Hendricks The Conservation Alliance Full episode notes and links: https://mountainandprairie.com/paul-hendricks/ --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 2:37 – Intro, Ed's one running partner 4:03 – How the outdoors has shaped Paul's career 6:48 – Plan post-college 12:41 – Sunk-cost fallacy 14:22 – Global Greengrants Fund 17:05 – Learning from Rick Ridgeway 20:23 – Lessons from Patagonia 24:25 – Ready for a new challenge 30:00 – Laid off at Rivian 36:02 – Being in charge 38:01 – The Conservation Alliance history 43:07 – TCA within public lands threats 48:58 – What's missing from the public lands story? 51:49 – Paul's role as a leader 56:14 – Role models 59:04 – Getting outdoors now 1:01:10 – Book recs 1:03:09 – 1% for the Planet collab 1:05:14 – Wrapping up --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Support Mountain & Prairie Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts

Wildfires are reshaping the landscapes of the American West—and with them, the way we think about public lands and climate resilience. Over the past few decades, fires have grown larger, more severe, and harder to predict. As climate change accelerates and management debates intensify, the stakes couldn't be higher for our forests.Today, we're digging into the science behind these trends and what they mean for the future of our public lands. Joining us is Jacob Levine, whose research explores the complex intersection of climate, land management, and wildfire behavior.Jacob Levine is a plant‐community ecologist and wildfire scientist whose work looks at how climate change, forest management, and extreme weather shape the way fires behave, and how managers, policymakers, and communities can fosters more resilient landscapes. He earned his PhD in 2024 from Princeton University, and is currently a Wilkes Postdoctoral Fellow in Climate Science and Policy at the University of Utah, and scholar in residence at Duke University.Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/outdoor.minimalist.book/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theoutdoorminimalist.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theoutdoorminimalist⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me a Coffee: ⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/outdoorminimalist⁠⁠Listener Survey: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://forms.gle/jd8UCN2LL3AQst976⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-----------------Jason LevineWebsite: http://levine-ecology.com/index.php/about/Recent Research: https://attheu.utah.edu/facultystaff/industry-managed-forests-more-likely-to-fuel-megafires/

This week Sam sits down to bring some important topics to the front and center of our listener's minds.  The push to remove hunter's and outdoor enthusiast's rights, access and abilities to enjoy America's public spaces continues to be threatened.  Sam discusses the Roadless Rule, and the even more recent Public Lands Rule that are currently on the chopping block.  He puts some emphasis on how some of the threats in 2025 have not come from any anti-hunting or animal rights extremists or groups, but instead from right-leaning politicians that many may believe they align with personally.  Sam talks about how hunters should address these situations, and how they should carry themselves publicly when advocating for hunting and our rights.  This is more than just another conservation episode, this is a call to step up and defend what you truly believe in amidst a world seemingly on fire. 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/)

After years of waiting to draw an Iowa deer tag, Matt Millard finally sets out on a 3-week public land bowhunting adventure in the heart of the Midwest. From endless scouting miles and battling heavy hunting pressure to close encounters with giant rutting bucks, this trip has everything you'd expect from November whitetail hunting in Iowa. Early in the hunt, an almost 200-inch Iowa giant shows up on Matt's trail camera — a reminder of why hunters dream about chasing whitetails here. With his determination fueled, Matt grinds harder than ever, pushing deep into the marsh in search of a  public land giant! And when the moment finally comes… you won't believe what steps out in front of him.

Public lands are at the heart of the Gem State, but like many other wild spaces across the U.S., they are under threat.

The Roadless Rule has had a major impact on the preservation of our public lands and wildlife, but it is currently set to be thrown out altogether. So today, we discuss how and why it was created; the current efforts to rescind it; and what that would mean for bikers, hikers, skiers, climbers, and other outdoor enthusiasts across the United States.Joining us is Louis Geltman, VP of Policy & Government Relations at Outdoor Alliance, who shares his expertise on this and other time-sensitive issues relevant to just about anyone who enjoys recreating outdoors in the U.S.Note: We Want to Hear From You!We'd love for you to share with us the stories or topics you'd like us to cover next month on Reviewing the News; ask your most pressing mountain town advice questions, or offer your hot takes for us to rate.

EPISODE 98 DETAILS “Public Lands” Rule Violation In Repeal The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has started the process to rescind the, Biden-era “Public Lands” rule. The National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) and Public Lands Council (PLC) challenged the rule in a 2024 lawsuit because it violated the multiple use mandate and would have paved the way for the federal government to remove family ranching operations and other uses from these working lands. Multiple stakeholders voiced their concerns that this rule clearly violated the multiple use mandate under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976. NCBA and PLC originally sued BLM over this rule in July of 2024 and were joined in this suit by the American Farm Bureau Federation, American Exploration and Mining Association, American Forest Resource Council, American Petroleum Institute, American Sheep Industry Association, National Mining Association, National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, Natrona County Farm and Ranch Bureau, Western Energy Alliance, and Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation.

Leading the charge were 174 head at 1,002 lbs bringing $356.50, followed by 59 head at 1,018 lbs for $355.75, and 116 head at 1,015 lbs at $355.00. Not far behind, 61 head at 1,002 lbs brought $350.75, and 124 head at 1,004 lbs sold for $349.50. Securing five of the top ten all-time national prices in one day, Herreid has firmly established itself as ground zero for premium heavyweight feeders in today's blazing-hot cattle market.

The U.S. Secretary of the Interior says he plans to do away with a Biden Administration rule that added conservation -- or no use -- to the approved uses of BLM land. Secretary Dough Burgum says this change would restore balance in federal land management by empowering local decision-making, supporting respondible development, and prioritizing multiple-use access. He says the Public Lands Rule exceed the BLM's statutory authority by placing an overemphasis on conservation or no-use at the expense of multiple-use access,  threatening grazing, energy development, recreation, and other traditional land uses. While state lawmakers praise the move, conservationists are worried about what it could mean for the future. Director of Sporting Advocacy for the National Wildlife Federation Aaron Kindle tells Maria Shilaos that he believes rescinding this rule threatens wildlife, ranching, hunting and rural communities.

Today's "Weathering The Run" episode features ultra-runner and race director John Lacroix, founder of the Human Potential Running Series, including a HPRS podcast that accompanies the races he puts on. He is well known in the trail running community, perhaps for his nickname he used to have (Sherpa John) or for founding the first 200 mile trail race in New England. We explore his unforgettable experiences running through snowstorms, nor'easters, tornado warnings, and scorching heat. John also frankly addresses past criticisms, the crossroads facing trail running—and urges us all to step up for public land stewardship and volunteerism.Conversation Highlights:-Weather extremes on the trail: snow, wind, heat, and more.-Reflecting on previous controversies with transparency and growth.-Trail running's survival hinges on more volunteer support and advocacy:.Final Call to Action from John:“If you have time to train, you have time to volunteer… reach out to your race director—there's always something to do, from cleaning gear to race-day support…"Resources & Ways to Get Involved:Runners for Public Lands — empowering runners to protect public lands Outdoor Alliance — a coalition uniting recreation advocates to conserve America's public lands Access Fund — national advocates for sustainable climbing and trail access Colorado Fourteeners Initiative — stewarding Colorado's 14,000-foot peaks through volunteer trail work Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) — invests lottery proceeds into conservation and recreation projects across the state

Hunting, fishing, and outdoor access face new legislative battles—here's what every sportsman should know.   In this episode, the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation team breaks down the latest updates shaping hunting, fishing, and outdoor conservation policy at both the state and federal levels.   First, Taylor Schmitz dives into recent public lands legislation, explaining how new proposals could impact hunters, anglers, and outdoor recreation. He highlights the fight to remove harmful language from a reconciliation package, stresses the dangers of selling federal public lands, and shares why community engagement is key to protecting access for future generations.   Next, Chris Horton covers Q3 updates in the fisheries and boating sector, including the reauthorization of the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund and the latest movement on the SHARKED Act. We discuss how shark depredation is affecting saltwater anglers, why conservation strategies must balance fisheries management with angler access, and how visual storytelling is being used to highlight marine conservation issues.   Finally, John Culclasure brings an update on federal and state forest policy, unpacking the challenges of wildfire threats, roadless rule restrictions, and timber sales. He shares highlights from the American Forest Congress, emphasizes the importance of stakeholder collaboration in active forest management, and explains what new legislation could mean for hunters, anglers, and forest health nationwide.   Key Takeaways for Hunters, Anglers, and Outdoor Enthusiasts: Selling federal public lands can create long-term problems for outdoor access if not done with careful analysis and forethought. The Farm Bill and upcoming federal funding deadlines could reshape conservation priorities. The Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund is vital for fisheries and boating programs. Shark depredation is a growing problem for saltwater anglers. Forest management legislation, including the Fix Our Forests Act, could impact wildfire prevention. Collaboration between government, industry, and conservation groups is essential for sustainable outdoor policy.   Whether you're passionate about public lands, fisheries, or forestry, this episode will keep you informed on the policy debates shaping the future of hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation in America.   Get the FREE Sportsmen's Voice e-publication in your inbox every Monday: www.congressionalsportsmen.org/newsletter                Sign up for FREE legislative tracking through CSF's Tracking the Capitols tool: www.congressionalsportsmen.org/tracking-the-capitols/   Get the FREE Sportsmen's Voice e-publication in your inbox every Monday: www.congressionalsportsmen.org/newsletter                Sign up for FREE legislative tracking through CSF's Tracking the Capitols tool: www.congressionalsportsmen.org/tracking-the-capitols/ Learn more about your ad choices.

You can watch this episode on YouTube here. Jasmine (New Jersey suburbs), Myra (Inglewood, California), Donika (Louisville, Kentucky) share their relationship with the field or industry of urban planning; the first time taking a city-wide public bus, the struggle of finding community after moving to a new city, and watching their hometown change through gentrification. The conversation gets local with all three ladies living and working in Los Angeles, California. The discussion shifts to fighting gentrification in Inglewood and South Central LA amongst planning decisions for SoFi Stadium, LAX, and metro line expansion. The message “DON'T SELL YOUR GRAMMA HOUSE” rings throughout the conversation as we break down some causes and solutions to gentrification, both personal and political. The hosts explore how the absence or presence of parks and greenspace [urban planning] impacts anxiety and depression [mental health], how certain infrastructure like highways can lead to health issues like asthma while others such as bike lanes and wide sidewalks fight diabetes and heart disease. The conversation sites research from The Trust for Public Land, New York City Community Parks Initiative, and Smart Growth America.

In this episode that the guys recorded a month ago and Dave forgot to publish, Dave and Nephi discuss a recent effort to use the Congressional Review Act to repeal three BLM Respurce Management Plans, and the unintended consequences of such action. They also discuss why hunters are so important to achieving positive conservation outcomes, why influencers can play an important role in achieving the goals, and why we need to keep recruiting new hunters into the ranks. At least, that's we we think we discussed--I mean--we recorded this a month ago.

Hunting public land whitetails in the late season is never easy, but Paul pushes through brutal cold, swirling winds, and nonstop coyote encounters in hopes of tagging a mature buck with his bow. Over several sits, the decoy setup draws in multiple deer—including some close encounters with heavy-racked bucks. After near misses, blown chances, and plenty of public land challenges, persistence finally pays off in an unforgettable hunt just before Thanksgiving. If you're looking for public land whitetail hunting tips, bowhunting over a decoy, or just want to see late season deer hunting action, this episode has it all. Follow along as Paul rattles, calls, and grinds it out in tough conditions to make the most of his last deer tag of the season.

Colton Koza joins the show to share how he made his way from Missouri to Wisconsin, his background as a competitive trap shooter (including a national championship), and how he's transitioning into chasing whitetails and turkeys on Wisconsin public land. We dive into the realities of hunting pressure, trail cameras, climbing gear, and the quirks of Midwest terrain compared to the Ozarks. From stories about shooting sports and college life to swapping strategies for deer season prep, this one's equal parts camaraderie and practical insight. If you've ever debated saddles vs. climbers, wondered how Missouri hardwoods stack up against Wisconsin swamps, or just love hunting camp banter, you'll feel right at home.

We get into what we're seeing for deer prospects, how we're thinking about thermals and scent this fall, and why historical sign always plays a big role in our setups. We also break down the nuances of scrape hunting, how weather can turn hunts on their head, and share a few laughs along the way. If you're looking for practical deer strategies mixed with real-world hunting stories, this one's a fun listen that'll get you fired up for your own season.

For Jeremy Brown, Todd Ezzi and Bryce Decker, Arkansas public land duck hunting isn't just something to do--it's a way of life. And it's affected their lives in more ways than one. Gathered around the workbench at Traditions Leathercraft in Oklahoma City preceding Delta Waterfowl's Duck Hunters Expo, we discuss their duck hunting origins, influences, and approaches to hunting public lands in Arkansas; changes they've since experienced; "lighting ducks;" the better and worse; hunting techniques and strategies; and respective life trajectories their lives have taken because of Arkansas public land duck hunting experiences.    Visit the Legendary Brands That Make MOJO's Duck Season Somewhere Podcast Possible: MOJO Outdoors  Alberta Professional Outfitters Society Benelli Shotguns Bow and Arrow Outdoors Ducks Unlimited  Flash Back Decoys GetDucks.com HuntProof Premium Waterfowl App Inukshuk Professional Dog Food  Migra Ammunitions onX Maps  Use code GetDucks25 Sitka Gear SoundGear Tom Beckbe USHuntList.com   Like what you heard?
