Chad's still on location at Premier Prairie in Kansas with Randy Young and Lynn McDonald when the conversation turns to someone who meant a great deal to all of them. John Lamonico passed away at 95. Safari Club International world records. Hunted in nearly 40 countries. Black and blue from his knuckles to his navel at 91 from trying to shoot 1000 doves. Rigged to the side of a cliff at 90 just to make the climb. Still jumping in and out of airboats at 92 like it was nothing. But none of that is really what the heart of this episode is about. It's about the man in the blind. The patience he had. The way he'd watch a flock and call exactly where they'd go. The way he made every person around him feel like they were the best hunter he'd ever been with. The way he showed up for photo shoots at 90, held poses as long as you needed, and never once made it about himself. The duck blind is the great equalizer. The place where business gets done on a handshake, friendships get built, and the best people in your life somehow find their way to you. Rest in peace, John Lamonico. He's up there in the duck blind with the best of them.

Ryan and Jason are back behind the mics and diving headfirst into the emotional rollercoaster that is Detroit sports. From the gut punches of the Detroit Lions to the ongoing frustrations with the Detroit Pistons and Detroit Tigers, the guys especially zero in on the absolute heartbreak of the Detroit Red Wings—breaking down their late-season collapses the past few years and the emotional toll of getting so close just to fall apart when it matters most.Ryan lightens things up (a little) with stories from his recent trip to the Dominican Republic—from the all-inclusive resort life to some of the more eye-opening beach scenes, including the topless sunbathers and thong bikinis that made the experience… memorable, to say the least.Meanwhile, Jason recaps his first experience at a Safari Club International wild game dinner, giving his honest take on the unique dishes, the crowd, and whether it lived up to expectations.It's a blend of sports misery, beachside chaos, and outdoors culture—exactly what you'd expect when Ryan and Jason get together.VanGuard VEO HD BundleVanguard Outdoors Use Code TERRIBLE20 to save 20%!We are a Hunting, Fishing & Just general Outdoors Podcast based out of Michigan that likes to have a lot of fun, Talk tactics and tell our Terrible Stories from the field or on the water.

Over the weekend, a Diné pro athlete from the Arizona Ridge Riders ascended to the top ranks of competitive bull riding worldwide. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has more. “Keyshawn just crafted his career moment, and he perches above them all and is the master of the Pit.” For the first time, Keyshawn Whitehorse from Kraken Springs, Utah won the Ty Murray Invitational after hanging onto a bucking bull named “Lights Out”. The 28 year old had a perfect weekend, going 4 for 4 on rides, with pretty much everybody in the building was right behind him. “And all you guys, Navajo Nation, the support here in Albuquerque, N.M. – I've dreamed of this moment in my entire life, and now we're on track for a gold buckle. This is a great stepping stone.” With this title win, Whitehorse is among the top 10 riders in the world. Gayle Hoseth (Yup’ik), Alaska Federation of Natives Co-Chair. (Photo: Avery Lill / KDLG) Alaska Native groups have scrambled to make their voices heard on a series of subsistence proposals from Safari Club International, which aims to reshape fish and game management on federal lands. By the time the deadline for public comment passed on Monday, more than 2,000 people had weighed in. Rhonda McBride from our flagship station KNBA reports. The letters are emotional, overwhelmingly from rural hunters and fishers, worried that the Safari Club's proposals to the U.S. Interior Department would threaten their ability to live off the land. Tribal leaders like Gayla Hoseth (Yup'ik), Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) Co-Chair, say these battles never seem to end. “We're often times, repeating ourselves, over and over.” This time, Native groups are facing off against one of the most powerful sport-hunting advocacy groups in the nation, which seeks to overturn Biden-era policies that added three tribally nominated seats to the Federal Subsistence Board. The Safari Club also wants to remove three other public seats and return the board to its original make-up, limited to the heads of five federal agencies. “We've said this many times on the record that it's a revolving door of these regional administrators that come through our state – and that are here for a time — and not really knowing and being on the land.” As a senior advisor to Interior Secretary Deb Haaland during the Biden Administration, Raina Thiele shepherded the process of adding the additional tribal seats. Although it took about three and a half years to get them in place, Thiel says it was worth the effort. Along the way, tribal leaders introduced many ideas on how to improve subsistence management on federal lands “Nobody really lives the way we live in Alaska. It's an incredibly unique system so folks just don't have the context or the history with it to really understand it.” The Safari Club has also called on federal managers to defer to the state when overseeing wildlife on federal land, which opponents say conflicts with a 1980 law that gives rural Alaskans priority for hunting and fishing on federal lands. John Sturgeon, a longtime Alaska Safari Club policy maker, says the group does not oppose rural priority for hunting and fishing. “The word deference means consideration. It's not a mandate. So bottom line, Fish and Game does not have the authority to promulgate regulations. We're not asking for that. We're saying that we have to listen to (the Alaska Department of) Fish and Game, and we don't think they've been doing that over the years.” Alaska's dual management system for state and federal lands has spawned many a battle over the right to hunt and fish – and this one could be the start of another long fight.

Chad's back with another SCI Fowl Thoughts, and this one's been sitting on his mind. Canada just changed the rules. Fewer days, tighter regulations, and it didn't happen for no reason. He breaks down what's really going on, from illegal outfitting to people taking advantage of the system, and how it's starting to catch up to everyone, including the hunters doing it right. This isn't a rant, it's a reminder. This one is all about doing things the right way, and about how fast things can change when we don't. If you care about the future of hunting, especially in places like Canada, this one's worth the listen!

In this powerful episode of Acta Non Verba, Marcus sits down with John Howell, Super Bowl champion and North Creek Ranch innovator. John shares his incredible journey from small-town Nebraska eight-man football to the NFL, revealing the struggles, setbacks, and mental health challenges that shaped him into the man and leader he is today. From walking onto Colorado State as an unknown to winning a Super Bowl with Tampa Bay, John's story is a masterclass in perseverance, faith, and the power of doing hard things. Now, John is building something even more impactful at North Creek Ranch—a six-generation family cattle ranch transformed into a retreat destination where men can reconnect with themselves, nature, and each other through hunting, leadership training, and authentic fellowship. Episode Highlights [22:48] The Freshman Who Almost Quit - John reveals how he nearly gave up during his freshman year at Colorado State, flunking every class except aerobics and planning to quit football entirely. A Christmas break drive past his high school reminded him of his dreams and the people who believed in him, leading to a pivotal decision to return with renewed determination. [22:49] The Practice That Changed Everything - After arriving at Colorado State as a walk-on, John thought the team wasn't very good—until the fourth practice when the entire varsity squad showed up. This humbling moment taught him the difference between going 100% and understanding practice etiquette, eventually leading to mentorship from All-American Anthony Cesario. [56:17] The Anxiety Attack Before Super Bowl Season - John courageously shares his breakdown the night before training camp in his second NFL season—calling Coach Jon Gruden to say he had to leave. Instead of cutting him, Gruden responded with love and support, saying "I don't know what you have going on, but I want you to know I love you and I'm here for you." John went on to win the Super Bowl that season. [46:38] The Power of Not Quitting When It's Hardest - John's advice to young athletes and men: "Do not quit your freshman year." He explains the difference between stopping something and quitting something, emphasizing that we can live with failure, but regret from quitting when things are hardest will haunt us forever. John Howell is a Super Bowl XXXVII champion who played defensive back for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers under legendary coaches Tony Dungy and Jon Gruden. After an improbable journey from eight-man high school football in rural Nebraska to walking on at Colorado State University and eventually being drafted in the fourth round of the NFL Draft, John spent five seasons in professional football. Today, John is the visionary behind North Creek Ranch, a six-generation family cattle ranch in Nebraska that he's transformed into a world-class retreat destination and hunting lodge. Through North Creek Ranch and his nonprofit Herd Bull University, John creates transformative experiences for men, teaching them to embrace challenge, build confidence, and live with purpose through hunting, outdoor skills, and leadership development. John is a man of deep faith, a devoted husband and father, and a passionate advocate for mental health awareness in athletics and business leadership.

The Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) is pulling out all the stops to block a Safari Club International proposal to reform the federal subsistence board. As KNBA's Rhonda McBride reports, AFN says it is a direct threat to the Alaska Native subsistence way of life. Last year, Safari Club International, a sport hunting and fishing group, petitioned two Trump cabinet members for the review. It asked Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins to address what it calls “federal overreach” in subsistence management. In mid-December, the Interior Department granted the request and announced a 60-day review, called a “scoping process”. During this period, it will consider the Safari Club's recommendations, which includes a proposal to limit the size of the federal subsistence board to only the heads of five federal agencies. AFN President Ben Mallott says this would eliminate public seats, including three held by tribal representatives. “We've been working for that for a very long time, so we are concerned that any rollback in public member seats would just weaken our voices. And so for us, that is a major threat.” The petition also seeks to change the make-up of Regional Advisory Councils, the volunteers who recommend policies to the Federal Subsistence Board. The Safari Club says sport and commercial hunters and fishers are not adequately represented on these councils. But beyond changing the leadership structure of subsistence management, the Safari Club calls on federal agency heads, when setting regulations, to defer to state managers – a move that opponents say would undermine the Alaskan National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA), legislation Congress passed 45 years ago to protect Alaska's rural subsistence lifestyle. The Safari Club says it is stepping in to protect the state's rights, because federal managers have repeatedly overstepped the bounds of ANILCA. John Sturgeon, a leading advocate for the Alaska Safari Club says, says this is a fight about fish and game management, not about the rights of rural Alaskans to subsist. “We have no problem with subsistence. We support it, so it's kind of a perceived conflict. We just think the state of Alaska should be in charge of subsistence.” The problem is, the state's constitution does not allow for a rural subsistence priority, which federal law mandates. Public comment on the Safari Club proposals closes on February 13. The campus of Spokane Falls Community College. (Photo: T85cr1ft19m1n / Wikimedia) Indigenous-knowledge focused centers are on their way to Spokane Falls Community College and the Spokane Community College campus on the Spokane reservation in Washington. As Steve Jackson reports, a grant from Avista Utilities is providing the seed money. Indigenous Healing Environments Across Lifeways (I-HEAL) centers will hold workshops on skills and concepts related to sustainability of water, land, animals, and climate. They will also include studies related to using plants for food and medicine. Spokane Colleges Tribal Relations Director Naomi Bender says she will seek out Indigenous presenters from tribes in the region, but she says instructors will be careful in what they present. “Traditional knowledge of plants and medicines, for example, was illegal in the U.S. And to this day, we're very careful about what's shared and what's not because people want to monetize and they want to harm what knowledge they gain at times.” Bender says both Indigenous and non-Native students will be welcome at the I-HEAL centers. She anticipates they will begin holding workshops in about a year. (Courtesy IAIA) Congress recently approved more than $13 million in federal funding for the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) in Santa Fe, N.M. for Fiscal Year 2026. This comes after the Trump administration's proposal to eliminate IAIA's federal appropriation. The funding maintains the institute's current funding level to support academic programs, student services, and general operations. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

On tonight's show, Jim and his guests, Ed Morris, former President of the League of Kentucky Sportsmen and Larry Richards, past President of the Kentuckiana Chapter of Safari Club International comment about Attorney General Russell Coleman's published opinion that current Commission Chairmen Chuck Meade should resign or be removed by court action. The issue at stake is the Landowner Exemption granted by the KRS statutes that allow resident landowners to hunt or fish on their own land without a license.
The Alaska chapter of Safari Club International took a group of men from Kipnuk deer hunting last month. The hunters were evacuees from a storm that ravaged the Western Alaska coast, unleashed by Typhoon Halong. After more than a month of staying in shelters and hotel rooms in Anchorage, they were quick to accept the invitation. As KNBA's Rhonda McBride tells us, what transpired turned out to be more than just a hunt. The Safari Club and Alaska Native subsistence hunters have often been on the opposite side in debates over fish and game management. And some who have followed the politics over the years find it puzzling that the Safari Club reached out to help Kipnuk hunters displaced by the storm. But John Sturgeon, a longtime Safari Club member, says it should not be a surprise. “The Safari Club and the subsistence people are much closer together than most folks would think. We're hunters. They're hunters.” Sturgeon helped to organize the hunt. “We have the resources to help. And them eating wild game and going out after wild game is really important to them. And we just said, ‘Well, this is something we can do to help, especially at Christmas time.' So we're hoping this will make a few people happy.” What started out with five hunters snowballed. The evacuees had no clothes or gear, which they either lost in the storm or had to leave behind. Club members loaned them guns and scopes. One dug into his own pocket to outfit them for the hunt. The Safari Club bought them hunting licenses and chartered a boat from Whittier, Alaska to Montague Island, where the men took nine Sitka black-tailed deer. It's the first time Darrell John had gone hunting since an ocean surge carried his house away. “We were hunting deer on a beach, which I never ever thought I would be hunting.” “When I was gutting deer, I knew my family was going to eat something. Made me feel like I was providing for my family again.” Although John never dreamed he'd go hunting in a such in a faraway place like Prince William Sound, he suddenly felt more like his old self. When the hunters returned, they wanted to share their catch with others displaced by the storm. Suddenly plans mushroomed into a feast to feed more than 200. The Safari Club collected donations of fish and wild game, which included a seal from Kodiak Island. John's wife Lacey John knew right away what was cooking. “Seals have a strong scent. The seal that was baking. It smelled like home. I just breathed in. (laughter) ” Karson Apodaca.

KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has details. The Kayenta Township near Monument Valley shared joy on social media ahead of its annual Christmas market and parade at the rodeo grounds. “The parade is going to start on Navajo Route 591, which is right behind Chevron, okay? It's like you're going to the flea market here if you live in Kayenta … That one's gonna start right at 5:00 p.m., so be ready.” But about 10 minutes later, that holiday cheer came to an abrupt halt after an alleged drunk driver entered the parade route and hit four people, including a child and a pregnant woman. The Navajo Police Department confirmed three-year-old Karson Apodaca died and a suspect is in custody. The Kayenta community and guests came together to honor and remember Karson Apodaca with a peaceful vigil walk, the singing of Christmas carols, and the decoration of a Christmas tree in his honor, followed by prayer circle.

(Courtesy Chickasaw Nation) This year, the Chickasaw Nation in Oklahoma and Feed the Children partnered to bring holiday packages to an estimated 800 Ada, Okla. area families. The recent drive-thru distribution included a 25 lbs. box of food, and a 15lbs box of personal care items, books, toys, and other products. This is the 10th year the tribe and organization have partnered to help families during the holidays. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

In this episode of The Articulate Fly, host Marvin Cash welcomes Robbie Kroger, founder and Executive Director of The Origins Foundation, for an in-depth conversation about hunting advocacy, wildlife conservation and the sustainable use model that's shaping the future of global conservation efforts.Guest Expertise: From Wetland Scientist to Conservation AdvocateRobbie Kroger brings an unconventional background to hunting advocacy. With a PhD in wetland ecology and aquatic biogeochemistry from the University of Mississippi, six years as a professor in the Wildlife Fisheries Department at Mississippi State and over 100 peer-reviewed publications, Robbie served as chief scientist for the BP oil spill restoration framework. His science-based, measured approach to communication sets The Origins Foundation apart in the hunting advocacy space.What You'll Learn: Reframing the Conservation ConversationDiscover how The Origins Foundation communicates with non-hunters (not anti-hunters) using honesty, respect and scientific reasoning rather than emotional arguments. Robbie explains why sustainable use of wildlife isn't a silver bullet but rather one of only seven critical tools in the limited conservation toolbox. Learn why value-based wildlife management - whether protecting elephant habitat in Africa or managing wolf populations in the American West - creates incentives for local communities to coexist with wildlife rather than eliminate it.Featured Conservation Projects: Global Impact Through ActionRobbie details the world's largest cheetah relocation project, having moved 17 cheetahs into 500,000 acres of Mozambique habitat buffered by 10 million acres of protected land, with three more relocations planned for 2026. Hear about upcoming documentaries including "Sauvons Bambi" (debuting June 2026 in Paris) about European hunters using thermal drones to save roe deer fawns from farm equipment and "In My Footsteps" profiling the first scholarship recipient from a South African hunting charity who became a successful architect. The Foundation is also building schools and clinics in South Africa and Zambia while working on rhino and lion conservation initiatives.Public Lands and Management Philosophy InsightsDrawing on his experience growing up under South Africa's private wildlife ownership model, Robbie contrasts it with America's revolutionary public trust doctrine where wildlife belongs to everyone. He discusses the chronic underfunding of agencies like USFS, USFWS and BLM, arguing that public-private partnerships, biodiversity credits and creative funding models could dramatically improve stewardship. The conversation explores complex topics like fair chase ethics, social media responsibility for hunters and anglers, wolf management controversies and why both sides being upset with you often means you've found the right position.Join the ConversationThe Origins Foundation actively engages with supporters across all social media platforms, typically with Robbie responding personally to messages. Whether attending major hunting shows from Wild Sheep Foundation to Safari Club International or meeting supporters for roadside coffee in Australia, the Foundation maintains an accessible, ego-free approach focused on lifting up the entire conservation community rather than self-promotion.SponsorsThanks to TroutRoutes for sponsoring this episode.

On this episode of Wild & Uncut, we're at the 2025 SCI Convention in Nashville, TN sitting down with Madison Sheahan (at the time of recording was Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries) and Maria Davison the Large Carnivore Program Manager for the SCI Foundation. We had a great discussion about an incredible conservation success story that has transpired due to the hard work of many groups and individuals, in the state of Louisiana. The season marked an end to a ban that had been in place since the late 1980s. The Louisiana bear population has rebounded thanks to conservation efforts, leading the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to re-establish a limited, lottery-based season with 11 permits issued to hunters.

The killing of Cecil the lion by Walter Palmer in 2015 showed there are a handful of people who occasionally kill an animal for kicks, right?Wrong!20,000 endangered animals were shot by trophy hunters last year. The total figure is closer to 100,000 animals if you include unprotected species. And this number does not count animals shot by people in their own country.Safari Club International (SCI) is the world's largest trophy hunting group. In the past few years, it has handed out 20,000 prizes to members who have shot lots of animals. They include hundreds of winners of its Hunting Achievement Award who each killed over 125 different animals.SCI keeps a Record Book of the biggest animals killed by its members. There are 200,000 entries. You can buy hunting holidays on the internet to shoot any animal on the planet. If you fancy ‘big game' hunting in Africa, there are lions, elephants, rhinos, and hippos. If you prefer ‘plains game,' then you can choose a giraffe, zebra, leopard or even a cheetah.If North America is where you would like to go, you can shoot polar bears and moose. Or pumas and capybara in South America. Some people enjoy flying ‘down under.' Why not shoot camels and wallabies while you are there? The US has ranches where you can shoot zebras, kangaroos, and animals that have been hunted to extinction in the wild. There are beavers, reindeer, and seals for sale in Europe. Asian wild goats and sheep. If you go to Texas, you can even shoot wild pigs from a helicopter ... using a machine gun. Some go with their loved ones. There are father and son breaks, mother and daughter shooting trips. Fancy using a bow and arrow? There are bowhunting-only estates. And companies that specialize in shooting animals with revolvers. Many hunting companies advertise on the internet. Try googling ‘polar bear outfitter.' Or ‘lion hunting safari.' Or just ‘sheep hunting.'There are thousands of hunting holiday companies in the world today. They sell hunting package holidays for almost any species. Safari Club International's list of ‘eligible' animals covers over nine hundred species and sub-species, including endangered animals such as black rhinos, and animals you may never have heard of. Hunting companies offer dozens more species not on SCI's list, such as zebras, giraffes, monkeys, baboons. Google ‘safari hunting price list.'In “Shoot 1 Lion Get 1 Free” you will meet the owners of dozens of the world's top hunting companies, see the animals they have for sale, and learn what their customers think of it.“Shoot 1 Lion Get 1 Free" is a genuine offer promoted by a hunting company in Africa.This is a Trophy Hunting Book Trilogy:“Twenty Elephants in Seventy-Five Minutes,”“Shoot One Lion – Get One Free” & “Mainlining on Heroin" https://www.amazon.com/Shoot-One-Lion-Hunting-Industry/dp/B0FCXR6BCY#:~:text=His%20new%20trilogy%20%2D%20%22Twenty%20Elephants,sport'%2C%20selfies%20and%20souvenirs.http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

Anna Van Nostrand grew up in Georgia hunting small game and deer with family, but her introductions to feathers--shotgunning, waterfowl, upland birds, retrievers and pointers--launched her full-steam ahead into the future with newfound purpose. After talking about our recent experiences at Safari Club International convention (hint, it's more than worlds-largest hunting show), we discuss getting involved into the waterfowl community, etiquette, becoming involved in the waterfowl hunting community, plantation hunting, getting women involved into the outdoors, why ladies aren't more involved, and how hunting shapes lives.
