Steven Curtis Chapman joins us for a rich, heartfelt walk through the stories behind The Music of Christmas—an album celebrating its 30th anniversary. Steven Curtis reflects on the impact of Show Hope's 23-year journey, the miracle of watching nearly 10,000 children welcomed into families, and the deep reasons adoption remains central to his calling today. The conversation also dives into the creation of his landmark Christmas record, from orchestras and choirs to family memories and the desire to make music that carried both nostalgia and the wonder of God stepping into our world. But the heart of this conversation goes beyond music as Steven Curtis shares the layers of the Christmas story that have become more profound with time—especially after walking through deep grief—and the hope that continues to anchor him: that God truly is with us!

Send us a textThe rain hammered down, the wind never settled, and a 20-year mystery finally walked into view. We're fresh off New Jersey's bear week with stories that run from legendary to hard-earned: Eddie closes the book on “Diamond Bear,” a boar first photographed in 2004 with a hollow diamond blaze on his chest, and we unpack the meticulous bait logs, peanut-fueled strategy, and storm gamble that made the difference. It's a masterclass in reading daytime bears, avoiding being patterned, and using scent-only sits to force curiosity when bait would only feed competition.Then we shift to firsts and fixes. TJ times a 30–40 minute drizzle window, scrambles to a rock ledge, and arrows a 300-plus bruin at spitting distance—a case study in making short seasons count. Chris grinds an all-day sit through a nor'easter, puts a perfect lung shot on a bear that still crosses a thigh-deep creek, and leans on a tracking dog to finish the job when rain erases sign. Frank owns a miss after a bear ducks an arrow—yes, it happens—then redeems himself with a tight quartering shot that wrecks lungs. We get real about angles, penetration, and why heavy arrows and patience matter when fat, shield, and weather complicate everything.We also zoom out: harvest numbers by zone and county, what a 15.7% harvest rate says about pressure and weather, and the cultural logistics you only learn by dragging bears—crew coordination, quads, check station timing, meat care, and why some hunts start with a plan for getting 400 pounds out of a swamp. We even wade into Segment B's bow ban and make the case for “any implement” access when cold temps favor ethical results. When deer and bears time-share baits and sows drop four or five cubs, management isn't abstract—it's on our cameras, in our freezers, and at the check station scale.Subscribe for more big-animal strategy, share this with a hunter who needs storm-play confidence, and drop us a note: bow or gun for late season, and what's your best plan for a mile-long drag?Support the showHope you guy's enjoy!

Send us a textThe moment Christina Rafalco describes will resonate with any hunter—that magical time when the sun begins to set, the woods are bathed in golden light, and an extraordinary stillness descends. "Unless you're in that moment experiencing the quiet and how everything just settles down," she explains, "you can't understand it. I could do that every single day of my life."Christina brings refreshing energy to this episode as she shares her journey into bowhunting as a 48-year-old single mom. Her story begins just four years ago when a relationship introduced her to archery, quickly sparking a passion that transcended target shooting. With candid humor, she describes overcoming a severe fear of heights—starting with a modest 10-foot ladder stand before conquering her anxiety to climb 30 feet up. "Now I'm fine with it," she laughs, detailing her evolution from nervous novice to confident hunter.The conversation takes listeners through Christina's hunting adventures across New Jersey's public and private lands. She doesn't shy away from the challenges, from tracking her first deer to having her birthday-gift ladder stand stolen by another hunter. These experiences taught her resilience and the importance of community. When describing the hunting brotherhood that welcomed her, Christina notes how fellow hunters looked out for her on public land: "Nobody would leave until they knew I was back to my vehicle and safe."Her most captivating story recounts harvesting her first buck—a seven-pointer she ultimately commemorated with a tattoo. Listeners will feel the tension as she describes drawing her bow while her heart raced, watching through her peep sight as the buck gradually emerged from behind a tree. The emotional aftermath of that successful heart shot captures why hunting means so much to so many: "I'm standing over him with tears coming down my face because it's just such a moment."Whether you're a seasoned hunter or curious about getting started, Christina's perspective offers valuable insights into hunting strategies, gear choices, and the unique considerations women face in the field. Her advice to other women interested in hunting resonates with authenticity: "Don't be shy. Ask questions. You're not going to learn by not asking."Follow Christina on Instagram @cjr.76 and join our community where we celebrate the challenges, triumphs, and peaceful moments that make hunting such a transformative experience.

Send us a textThe countdown to hunting season is officially underway, and the excitement is building among the Boondocks Hunting team. As summer heat bears down, the crew gathers to welcome newest team member Zach and share their pre-season preparations, challenges, and expectations.The conversation kicks off with a deep dive into the annual Boondocks Hunting competition—a months-long friendly tournament running from September through February that assigns point values to different game animals with various bonuses for antler size, weight, and more. With a modest $30 buy-in and an emphasis on ethical hunting practices, this competition has become a cornerstone of community building among the team. Past champion Brad holds a two-time winning streak that everyone's eager to break this season.Summer scouting reports reveal fascinating patterns emerging in this unusually hot and rainy year. While mineral sites are showing heavy activity with impressive ground depressions, target buck sightings remain surprisingly scarce compared to previous seasons. The team theorizes that high corn and bean fields are providing ample cover, temporarily changing movement patterns compared to last year's drought conditions. Trail cameras are capturing more bears than mature bucks, suggesting this season may unfold differently than anticipated.The extreme weather conditions are creating unique challenges—from encounters with rattlesnakes and wasp nests to sinking knee-deep in flooded terrain. These stories of outdoor mishaps provide both laughs and valuable lessons about respecting the unpredictability of nature. The group shares their concerns about early season hunting conditions, predicting higher mosquito pressure and changed deer movement patterns due to abundant natural water sources.Join us for this pre-season conversation that captures the anticipation, brotherhood, and challenges that make hunting about so much more than just the harvest.

As well as the Today Show, VH1's Morning Buzz and MTV Live. The Cannonballers is an app addition to the band's catalog.

Today, one man's hope for the future after 25 years in prison. And jokes bring joy to the men at San Quentin. Then, a Pixar animator takes on her inner critic. 

Send us a textThe unexpected journey from non-hunter to passionate outdoorsman lies at the heart of our conversation with Joe Arabia from Northern Jersey Outdoors. Having only started hunting six years ago at age 30, Joe offers a refreshing perspective that breaks from the typical "lifelong hunter" narrative that dominates outdoor media.Joe's story begins with a surprise 30th birthday gift – apprentice hunting permits from his cousin who had been trying to get him into the woods for years. That first hunt, watching a doe approach through lightly falling snow, his heart pounding so hard he could barely hold his shotgun steady, changed everything. "It opened up a different part of my brain," Joe explains, "I can't picture living without it anymore." This transformation from complete novice to successful trophy hunter provides a roadmap for late-blooming outdoorsmen everywhere.We dive deep into the unique challenges of hunting Northern New Jersey, where mature bucks are scarce, predator pressures are high, and deer populations are concentrated in suburban areas where hunting isn't permitted. Joe shares the thrilling story of his 133-inch buck, taken during the rut after calling in the dominant deer who came charging in to chase off a younger rival. The conversation flows through tactical discussions about saddle hunting versus traditional tree stands, the effectiveness of different hunting strategies in the Garden State, and the complex relationship between hunting pressure and deer behavior. Whether you're hunting the crowded Northeast or just curious about regional differences in deer patterns, Joe's insights reveal how adaptability and persistence lead to success.Ready to elevate your hunting game?

Send us a textMatt Williams shares his journey as a professional deer tracker and explains how his bloodhound Arrow helps hunters recover wounded deer through specialized scent detection abilities.• Bloodhounds excel at tracking in dry conditions and can follow scent trails 40+ hours old• Wounded deer release pheromones that intensify further from the hit site, creating stronger trails as they progress• Different hit locations require specific waiting periods before tracking – 3-4 hours for shoulder shots, 6-8+ hours for gut shots• Grid searching by hunters creates confusing scent patterns that make professional tracking more difficult• Liver hits to the smaller lobe typically cause faster expiration than larger lobe hits due to blood vessel concentration• Fixed-blade broadheads perform better for shoulder shots while expandables excel in soft tissue• Professional tracking requires strict adherence to property boundaries and permissions• Weather conditions like rain and temperature impact tracking success but rarely prevent recoveryFor tracking assistance in central and southern New Jersey, contact Matt Williams at 609-457-5904 or find On the Trail Deer Recovery on Facebook and Instagram.Support the showHope you guy's enjoy!
