Discover fascinating facts about bighorn sheep, their habitats, and the Grand Slam of Sheep Hunting, plus top states for record-breaking bighorns. 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 231 What's a Group of Bighorn Sheep Called? Bighorn sheep, one of North America's most iconic animals, live in social groups that are referred to as a herd instead of a flock. These majestic creatures are known for their impressive curled horns and can be found in rugged terrains across the western United States and Canada. Their social structures and unique behaviors make them fascinating creatures to observe. Which State Has the Largest Bighorn Sheep? Montana, Idaho, or Colorado? When it comes to size and record-breaking Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, Montana stands out. Over the last few years, three of the top five Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep recorded by the Boone and Crockett Club came from a small area in northwestern Montana, specifically Wild Horse Island. This remarkable location, just off the western shore of Flathead Lake, has produced some of the largest bighorns in history. Why Montana is a Hotspot for Bighorn Sheep Wild Horse Island, situated in Flathead Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi, is a prime habitat for bighorn sheep. It's on this island that some of the most impressive Rocky Mountain bighorns have been found. The area's rugged terrain and abundant resources make it an ideal location for these incredible animals to thrive. Bighorn Sheep: True or False? Males and Females Live Together in Herds False: Males and females do not typically live together in the same herd. Bighorn sheep have distinct social structures. Rams (males) typically form bachelor groups, while ewes (females) live in herds with other females and their young. Female-led herds are organized and have specific roles: some act as guardians or leaders, while others may serve as babysitters for the young. Male-only herds, on the other hand, can consist of 5 to 50 rams at any given time, while female herds are larger, typically ranging from 5 to 100 members. The Grand Slam in Sheep Hunting: What Are the 4 Species? For hunters seeking the ultimate challenge, the Grand Slam of Sheep Hunting is a prestigious achievement. It includes four distinct species of North American sheep: Dall Sheep: Found in Alaska, Yukon, and Northwest Territories. Stone Sheep: Found in British Columbia and the Yukon. Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep: Found in the western U.S., including the Rocky Mountains. Desert Bighorn Sheep: Found in the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico. The Grand Slam Club Founded in 1956, the Grand Slam Club/Ovis recognizes hunters who successfully bag all four species. To date, fewer than 1,400 people worldwide have accomplished this feat. Achieving the North American Sheep Grand Slam is a rare and highly respected milestone in the hunting community. Desert Bighorn Sheep: The Most Expensive of the Bighorns Among these species, Desert Bighorn Sheep are often considered the most expensive and challenging to hunt due to their rarity and the remote locations they inhabit. Conclusion Bighorn sheep are fascinating creatures with unique social structures, diverse habitats, and remarkable species. Whether you're interested in their role in the wild, looking to track record-breaking bighorns, or hoping to achieve a Grand Slam in sheep hunting, understanding these majestic animals enhances the experience. From Montana's Wild Horse Island to the vast landscapes of Wyoming, the pursuit of these extraordinary animals continues to captivate wildlife enthusiasts and hunters alike.

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.

Learn about skunk mating season, how to handle skunk spray on your dog, and check out the best gadget gift ideas for your home or cabin. 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 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. Gadget Hot Buys: Gifts & Home Essentials Looking for gift ideas or practical items for your home?

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.

Struggling with flying anxiety? Discover how to calm your nerves and make air travel easier. Learn how to manage your fear of flying today. 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 225 Overcoming Fear of Flying: Practical Strategies for Anxiety-Free Travel Has recent news stories regarding airplane crashes to employee lay-offs increased your flying anxiety? If so, you are not alone! Do not fret as we are here to help you handle the nerves and help in continuing to make your travel memories. Anxiety About Flying Is Common: What to Do If You're Anxious About Flying Right Now Flying anxiety is more common than you might think. In fact, Research shows up to 40% of people worldwide experience some level of fear or anxiety when it comes to air travel. Recent headlines of plane crashes and other frightening incidents can make it even harder to shake those nerves before your flight. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reports that approximately 45,000 commercial and private flights depart daily in the U.S., carrying 2.9 million passengers. The likelihood of dying in a plane crash is extremely rare, with odds of about 1 in 13.7 million—much smaller compared to the 1 in 95 chance of dying in a car accident. But how can you manage this fear and still get to your destination safely? Here are some helpful tips for navigating anxiety when flying. Accept Your Anxiety and Don't Fight It The first step in managing flying anxiety is to accept it. Trying to fight anxiety can make it worse. Instead, commit to your decision to fly and allow your nerves to pass naturally. Remind yourself that this is a normal response, and it doesn't mean something is wrong. Focus on the Positive Aspects of Flying While it's easy to get stuck in the fear of flying, it's helpful to remind yourself why you're taking the trip in the first place. Whether it's visiting family, exploring new places, or advancing your career, air travel is often the gateway to experiences that bring meaning to our lives. Spend time reflecting on the positive aspects of flying and how it helps you achieve your goals, even if it means overcoming some anxiety along the way. Cut Off Aviation-Related News One of the biggest stressors for anxious flyers can be the constant stream of news about aviation accidents. Try avoiding aviation-related news, especially in the weeks leading up to your flight. Too much information, especially negative headlines, can fuel your anxiety. If you can, gradually reduce your news consumption in the days leading up to your trip. Calm Yourself Before Your Flight The more relaxed you can be on the day of your flight, the better. Try to avoid leaving everything until the last minute. If possible, get organized ahead of time and reduce any additional stressors like rushing through errands. For long trips, consider staying at a hotel near the airport to eliminate the stress of a long commute. When you're at the airport, practice deep-breathing exercises or progressive muscle relaxation to keep your body and mind calm. Remember Your Past Flying Experiences If you're feeling anxious, reflect on your previous flights. Have you made it through safely every time? The more evidence you can gather about past positive experiences, the more you can challenge the negative thoughts that fuel your anxiety. Remind yourself that you've flown successfully before and that pilots and crew are highly trained professionals with extensive experience. Avoid Triggers on Flight Day There are certain things you should avoid on the day of your flight that could increase your anxiety. Consider staying away from caffeine, alcohol, and illicit drugs, as these can heighten feelings of anxiety. Opt for water, juice, or a calming beverage instead, and give your body the best chance to stay calm. Consider Medication If Necessary If your anxiety is severe, talking to your doctor about medication options may be helpful. Anti-anxiety medications can help reduce the intensity of your fears and allow for a smoother flight. Make sure to consult with a healthcare provider before using medication to ensure it's safe for you. Focus on the Present Moment Once you're airborne, it can be helpful to focus on the present rather than worrying about future events or dwelling on past experiences. One trick is counting people around you—such as the men and women on the plane—because it engages your mind in a neutral task that takes you away from anxious thoughts. It's a small shift, but it can make a big difference in how you feel. Lean on Your Travel Companions for Support If you're traveling with a loved one, lean on them for emotional support. Holding hands, talking through your worries, or simply sharing calming memories can help. If you're traveling with someone who experiences anxiety, make their journey as smooth as possible by offering reassurance, keeping them distracted, and helping them feel as comfortable as possible. Flying can be nerve-wracking for many people, but with the right strategies, you can manage your anxiety and arrive at your destination safely. From accepting your feelings to focusing on the positive, these tips can help you overcome the fear of flying and make the experience more manageable. Safe travels!

Learn why to set up another for success by teaching the fundamentals first to guarantee a solid foundation to build upon. 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 223 WHY LEARN FUNDAMENTALS FOR THE OUTDOORS, SPORTS & HOBBIES Often those of us that are skilled in hunting, skiing or many other hobbies become overzealous in wanting to share our knowledge with hopeful new individuals to the activities. This especially holds true if for example you are a father wanting to show your son for the first time how to use a bow. Another great example, assisting in teaching a spouse. Frustrations can come quickly as often expectations are that another will learn quickly your often decades learned skill in the sport. What also comes into play is the accidental missing of not teaching the safety of each skill or activity too. It is highly recommended that for the very first lesson, consider hiring an outside professional or other known individual to walk through the basic fundamentals. Key Reasons Why To Learn These Fundamentals Let that individual be set up for success where they can feel free to ask questions as basic as they might be and the intimidation will quickly ease. It's important to remember, your knowledge, though vast and experienced, did not happen overnight. It was acquired through years of practice, failure and learning what works for you… Which may not be what works for another. Fundamentals Are Key Strong Foundation Is A Must Safety First Make a GREAT first experience to guarantee a lifetime of enjoyment!

How do you ask about money without stepping on toes? Here's how to handle this sensitive topic with care and make your getaway a success. Start with an Anonymous Budget Survey Instead of asking everyone face-to-face, keep it discreet. Send a private message or use a Google survey. Example: "Hey everyone! I'm thrilled to plan our trip. Could you share a budget range privately so I can ensure the plans work for everyone?" Travel Hacks to Keep Costs Down Travel off-peak: Book trips in spring or fall for better deals. Flight alerts: Sign up for platforms like Hopper, Going, or Secret Flying. Group discounts: Look for free breakfasts, group hotel rates, or all-inclusive packages to simplify planning. Budget Breakdown Tips Allocate costs to key categories: 30-40%: Accommodation 20-25%: Transportation 15-20%: Food and drinks 10-15%: Activities Build Flexibility into the Travel Plan Incorporate “choose-your-own-adventure” slots for activities. For example: Some may enjoy a spa day while others prefer hiking. Plan compromises like street food nights to balance pricier meals. Set Payment Expectations Early Before the trip, decide: How to split costs: Equal split or pay-your-way? Use tools like Splitwise: This app simplifies tracking and settling expenses, keeping everyone stress-free. With a thoughtful approach, you'll create a trip that's enjoyable and budget-friendly for all. Cheers to memorable adventures!

In the News - Big changes: Iconic U.S. ammo brands sold, federal hunting access funding threatened, and colleges embrace social media influencer courses. 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 221 Key Developments Impacting Iconic Brands, Public Hunting, and Education Iconic American Ammo Brands Sold to Czech Company The iconic American ammunition brands Federal, Remington, Hevi Shot, Speer, and CCI have new ownership. Sold in November 2024, these legendary names in ammo were sold to the Prague-based Czechoslovak Group (CSG) for $2.225 billion. This acquisition marks the end of a 2.5-year process involving scrutiny and approval by U.S. regulatory bodies. Under its new parent company, The Kinetic Group, led by CEO Jason Vanderbrink, these brands are set to thrive with long-term investments that aim to boost innovation and production. Vanderbrink states that moving away from the pressures of short-term returns will allow the brands to focus on delivering better and more reliable ammunition for consumers. Why the Sale Happened The ammo brands were previously owned by Vista Outdoor, a company managing a mix of outdoor and ammunition businesses. A strategic decision was made to split the two sectors due to differing business models and investor demands. Ammunition, a volatile commodity market, didn't align well with the stable growth expectations of lifestyle brands like Bushnell and Primos. National Security Concerns Addressed The sale raised national security concerns, prompting an investigation by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). Despite opposition from some politicians, including then Senator JD Vance (now current Vice-president), the sale was cleared in June 2024. CSG emphasized its commitment to supporting U.S. military, law enforcement, hunters, and allied nations, along with its nearly 4,000 American employees. The Future of American Ammo With additional resources from CSG, which also owns a majority stake in Fiocchi, The Kinetic Group is poised to grow and innovate. Manufacturing plants like Federal's in Minnesota and Remington's in Arkansas will continue to play a key role in supplying high-quality ammunition for American and allied markets.

Without these funds, states cannot expand or create new access programs, leaving hunters with fewer opportunities. Historically funded by the farm bill, the program received $50 million in 2018 but saw reduced funding with recent extensions. The 2025 farm bill extension omitted funding entirely, marking the second consecutive year without adequate support. States participating rely on these grants to incentivize private landowners to allow public hunting and improve habitats. Existing programs will likely remain stable for now, thanks to state-level funding, but the gap limits expansion and new initiatives. Conservation leaders are advocating for Congress to include $150 million for the Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program in the next farm bill. Bipartisan proposals to triple the program's funding offer hope, though Congress has struggled to reach agreements. The program's benefits extend beyond hunting, generating millions in economic activity and supporting jobs. Advocates urge sportsmen to contact lawmakers to push for a farm bill that secures funding for VPA-HIP and boosts public land access.

The trend sees schools now taking content creation seriously as a viable career choice. The influencer marketing industry is valued at over $21 billion and is a favorite field among young people. Arkansas Tech University is even offering a "Bachelor of Arts Degree in Social Media Influencing." Other universities following the trend include the University of Alabama, USC, Cornell, Duke, Chapman, and Columbia.

HOT TOPICS, Stay Updated: REAL ID travel rules by May 2025, Montana's lawsuit over bison management, and changes to Colorado's big-game draw system. 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 220 REAL ID Deadline, Montana's Bison Lawsuit, and Colorado's Big-Game Draw Changes Explained New Travel Rules: REAL ID Required by May 2025 Starting May 7, 2025, travelers must present a REAL ID-compliant driver's license to board domestic flights or enter certain federal facilities such as a federal courthouse. The REAL ID Act, passed in 2005 following 9/11, sets security standards for state-issued IDs but faced years of delays. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is urging travelers to check their IDs now to avoid disruptions like missed flights. Passports and other approved forms of ID will still be accepted for travel if you don't have a REAL ID. To ensure you're ready, visit your state's DMV website for details on obtaining a REAL ID. Experts warn last-minute delays could lead to headaches for travelers as the deadline approaches. Stay ahead of the curve—check your ID today!

Montana Sues Yellowstone Over Bison Herd Management: A Battle for Livestock Protection Montana has filed a lawsuit against the National Park Service (NPS) over its 2024 bison management plan, which increases the allowed bison population in Yellowstone from 3,000 to 6,000. Governor Greg Gianforte and state officials argue that this plan puts Montana's livestock at risk of brucellosis, a disease spread by bison. The state claims Yellowstone has failed to manage the herd since the 1960s, and that expanding the population violates federal law. Yellowstone, however, argues that the park can support a larger herd, citing new studies showing that elk, not bison, have been responsible for spreading brucellosis to cattle. NPS also points out that bison-human conflicts have decreased over time, and that tribal and public hunting programs have helped manage the population. Montana contends that the federal government's actions burden its farmers and ranchers. They accuse Yellowstone of failing to engage with the state during planning. The lawsuit adds to a long-standing conflict over bison management in the region, with Montana demanding more control to protect local agriculture and wildlife.

Starting in 2028, CPW will replace the hybrid draw with a split-draw system, dividing tags evenly between two pools: one for preference points and another for a bonus draw, which operates like a raffle. This change makes it easier for hunters with fewer or no points to get a tag but frustrates those with decades of accumulated points. Resident hunters will still get priority, with 75% of licenses reserved for them, while nonresidents receive the remaining 25%. The overhaul also introduces a once-in-a-lifetime harvest rule for premier species like bull moose and bighorn sheep, alongside increased fees and mandatory waiting periods for certain tags. Critics argue that the changes devalue preference points and fail to adequately address concerns about nonresident quotas. Despite the backlash, CPW says the updates aim to simplify the system and make hunting opportunities more accessible. Key policies, such as random draws for desert bighorn sheep, remain unchanged. The new rules will be revisited every 10 years, allowing room for future adjustments. Read the full list of changes HERE.

Women break barriers in ranch bronc riding, New York's pheasant stocking program in jeopardy and could affect hunters,& Colorado ranchers seek $582,000 for damages due to wolves.

Rosenthal. The program aims to give hunters the chance to chase pheasants, as wild bird populations have drastically declined due to habitat loss. Despite the argument that releasing these birds is "state-sponsored cruelty," the program is essential for maintaining hunting activities in the state. Without it, pheasant hunting in New York could cease to exist. Though critics argue that hunting pen-raised birds is too easy, the program provides a crucial starting point for new hunters and young people. It also serves as a gateway to fostering future wildlife advocates. However, opponents, including animal welfare groups, push for an end to the practice, claiming it's not in line with ethical hunting standards. The state's Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) states that the program is necessary for creating hunting opportunities, especially for beginners. If the bill passes, it could significantly reduce hunting participation in New York, affecting conservation efforts and funding for habitat restoration. If other states follow suit, it would be a setback for bird hunters nationwide. Colorado Wolf Debate: Ranchers' $582K in Damages According to Outdoor Life; Ranchers in Grand County, Colorado, are facing severe financial losses due to ongoing attacks by gray wolves, and they are now asking Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) for $582,000 in compensation. This request, submitted at the end of December, is well beyond the state's $350,000 Wolf Depredation Compensation Fund, which is intended to cover all claims for livestock losses caused by predators. If approved, the ranchers' claim would deplete the fund, leaving the state with no resources to cover future losses. The claim comes from just three ranchers, but it reflects the growing challenges faced by those living in rural areas where wolves were reintroduced under a voter-approved program. These ranchers say the damage extends far beyond the confirmed wolf kills. They are claiming compensation for missing livestock, cattle sent to market underweight, and lower conception rates in affected herds, which they attribute to stress caused by the constant threat of wolf attacks. The Copper Creek wolf pack, responsible for many of these incidents, was reintroduced by CPW, but the pack's presence has been devastating to local ranching operations. Despite multiple requests from ranchers to remove the wolves, CPW opted to relocate them. With these mounting pressures, ranchers are now calling on CPW to pause the wolf reintroduction program. This plea follows months of escalating wolf attacks and frustration with how CPW has managed the situation. Ranchers argue that the state has prioritized wolves over the livelihoods of local agricultural families, putting their businesses at risk. Tensions are high, and the state's wildlife commissioners were set to meet on January 8 to discuss whether to pause or continue the program. This decision could determine the future of wolf reintroduction in Colorado and whether ranchers will be forced to continue bearing the brunt of its consequences.

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 218 New Year Goals, Teddy Roosevelt Fitness, Outdoors News Reflecting on Past Years As we have now flipped the calendar to 2025, are putting away the decorations and getting back into a life schedule again. Take the time to jot down some of those memories made over the Holidays. Christmas through New Years creates laughs and cringe-worthy moments, the lesser as time goes by are almost always looked back on as laughs too later down the road. Here is one that BEC wanted to share... Favorite Holiday Memory - 20 years ago on Christmas morning, Mom (Lois Wanner) woke us all up to say there was a coyote down near the feedlot. She proved to us that Annie-Oakley still had what it takes! Grabbing her .243 lever-action from the living room game closet, first off astounding us all that her 'missing rifle' really wasn't missing; here Mom had it kept where only SHE KNEW to find it (hidden carefully behind all the board games)! Off to the porch she tramped in her pajamas, as we all watched out the windows. Leaning over the railing, she cracked one shot off… You can imagine as we ran out the door onto the porch to congratulate her, quick range-finding in the yardage to learn she had smoked that coyote at over 300 yards!! Now that's a Christmas morning none of us will ever forget… or she will let us forget either! News: Ice Fishing Fun & Dangerous MINNESOTA ICE FISHING This story takes us to Lake of the Woods in Minnesota as what happened there is a great reminder of what could happen here as many head to the ice for ice fishing! According to Valley News Live, About 50 people were rescued off Lake of the Woods on New Year's Day when a crack in the ice separated them from shore. The Lake of the Woods County Sheriff's Office first received a call around 2:30 pm on New Year's Day that a man went through the ice on his ATV, thankfully the man was able to get out without injuries. About half an hour later, another call came in with a report of 20-25 people stranded on the Northside of a pressure ridge that cracked open. The Long Point Resort began using their own boat to bring people across the open water, the sheriff's office and Minnesota DNR joined in on the rescue using airboats and UTVs to help. By the end, Lake of the Woods Sheriff's officials say the number was closer to 50 people rescued off the lake. More Than 100 Ice Fishermen Rescued in Minnesota This Winter In a press-release Beltrami County Sheriff Jason Riggs said “Most years, the ice would be thick enough by now for vehicles and wheelhouses, and we'd be seeing a steady procession of them moving north. But this year isn't ‘most years,' and the ice is changing constantly. It's absolutely vital that anyone who heads out checks the thickness frequently, pays close attention to the weather, and has a plan in case the worst happens and they wind up in the water.” Ice rescues continue to be a constant problem this winter, as ice remains very thin across much of North Dakota and Minnesota. President Teddy Roosevelt's Physical Fitness Test New Year, New You... Would you have the endurance to hike and ride a horse to pass this physical exam? Here is a history lesson that many outdoorsmen, women and adventurers may find of interest. Use this story to inspire you and raise the bar on your goals. On December 9, 1908, President Theodore Roosevelt signed, an Executive Order No. 989, headlined “Marine Corps Officers' Physical Fitness.” It directed each officer of the United States Marine Corps to undergo a physical examination and a series of tests every two years. The tests were simple. Officers would have to ride a horse 90 miles, “this distance to be covered in three days.” Officers ranked “in the grade of captain or lieutenant” were also required to walk 50 miles, with “actual marching time, including rests, twenty hours.” Seven hundred yards of this needed to be completed “on the double-time”—something like a slow jog. This test too could be spread across three days, allowing the soldiers sleep and recovery time. Order 989's rationale was spelled out bluntly: “In battle, time is essential and ground may have to be covered on the run; if these officers are not equal to the average physical strength of their companies the men will be held back, resulting in unnecessary loss of life and probably defeat.” Neither the Army nor the Navy, which each got their own respective executive orders with the same test, escaped Roosevelt's attention. “I have been unpleasantly struck,” President Teddy Roosevelt observed in a letter to Secretary of the Navy Truman Newberry, “by the lack of physical condition of some of the older officers, and even some of the younger officers.” Roosevelt worried that “urbanization was making us weaker”—that we were living in unhealthy cities, that we were toiling in offices rather than plowing the fields. By 1900, only 40 percent of the country worked in agriculture. The orders immediately kicked up complaints. As historical journal The Grog recounts, “Navy Surgeon James Gatewood complained that the endurance test would leave participants in a ‘depressed physical state.'” The Navy's surgeon general said it could put the lives of officers over 50 at risk. As if to carry the torch for his own initiative, on January 13, 1909, Roosevelt (then 51) and a small party of Naval officers set out for a horseback ride to Warrenton, Virginia, a distance of 49 miles each way. Following a 3:45 A.M. breakfast of steak and eggs, Roosevelt, on his own steed Roswell, set out into a day marked by freezing rain, eventually returning to the White House at 8:30 P.M., that's 16 hours and 45 minutes. Roosevelt declared the ride—yep, you guessed it—“Bully!” Compared to politicians of today, our 26th president, President Theodore Roosevelt, was like no other. An eastern high educated individual who traveled to the Badlands of North Dakota only to fall in love with the lifestyle there, learn to cowboy, have a 1,600 head plus cattle ranch and eventually became the leader of the Rough Riders that took San Juan Hill in Cuba during the Spanish American war. In many ways, it's no wonder this President wanted our military to be physically fit as he himself led a strenuous life too. BEC's goal for you all is to share the outdoors and western lifestyle with others. Take someone that has not hiked, fished, camped or been to a rodeo, rode a horse; share an activity you love with someone that has not done one of your favorites. Encourage others away from "urbanization" for a moment. If you are needing beginner ideas to start, almost every state has hikes planned for each season that fits that various times of the year. Encourage everyone to enjoy their "backyard" aka America the Beautiful!

We wrap 2024 with headlines regarding bears and heroism, a new species added to the Boone & Crockett Club, Wooly Mammoth findings and more! 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! Episode 217 Details Hunting Heroism, Rare Species Milestones, and Ancient Mammoth Findings 12-Year-Old Boy Saves Father from Bear Attack on Wisconsin Hunting Trip A Minnesota father is praising his 12-year-old son for saving his life after a black bear attack on September 6, 2024. While hunting in Wisconsin, Ryan Beierman was knocked down by a wounded bear that son, Owen, had shot earlier. The bear charged, and Ryan was left fighting for his life when 12-year-old Owen quickly shot and killed the bear with a hunting rifle. Ryan suffered several injuries, including cuts and puncture wounds, but credits Owen for his heroism. The father-son duo had extensive hunting experience, the father is proud of Owen's quick thinking and the shot that saved his father's life. REFERENCE: https://www.foxnews.com/us/young-boy-uses-rifle-save-father-from-black-bear-attack-a-hero Boone & Crockett Club: Recognizes Javelina to Big Game Trophy Records The Boone and Crockett Club has officially added javelina, or collared peccary, to its big-game trophy records—the first new species added in nearly 25 years. The name Javelina descends from Spanish for “wild sow,” though javelina are unrelated to feral hogs, which sometimes share the landscapes they occupy. Native to the Southwest, javelina from Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Mexico are eligible for the records once measurement standards, likely based on skull dimensions, are finalized. This decision highlights the species' growing popularity among hunters and its value to conservation efforts, especially in desert habitats. Interest in javelina hunting has surged, with hunters reporting stable to growing populations and range expansion into northern areas like Santa Fe, New Mexico. Biologists report that across all three U.S. states with javelina populations, nearly 58,000 hunters annually harvest an estimated 33,000 javelina. Adding javelina as a trophy species aims to elevate their conservation status, bringing attention and resources to their often-overlooked habitats. The move reflects a collaborative effort among wildlife managers and conservationists across the Southwest and Mexico. Previously regarded as pests in some areas, the designation gives javelina greater value, encouraging responsible management. With its inclusion, javelina could impact the "North American 29" Super Slam of big-game species, though Boone and Crockett has not confirmed changes to this roster. Final details, including minimum scores for entries, are expected in the coming months.

The jaw, along with additional bone fragments, was discovered in a backyard near Scotchtown. The homeowner spotted two mastodon teeth protruding from the soil, which led to further excavation and the discovery of the full jaw, a rib, and a toe bone. The fossils are set for carbon dating and analysis to learn more about the mastodon's age, diet, and habitat. This discovery adds to New York's rich Ice Age history, especially in Orange County, which has seen over 150 mastodon finds. Experts believe the jaw will provide crucial insights into the ecosystems of the Ice Age. The jaw will be displayed at the New York State Museum in 2025. This find highlights the importance of preserving and studying natural history and encourages the public to report similar discoveries.

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! Episode 216 Details Be Prepared for Utility Outages 1. Test Emergency Equipment Regularly Ensure that your backup heating equipment, portable generators, or other devices are tested and in working order before an outage occurs. This includes checking the hoses used to hook up to propane heaters such as a portable Buddy Heater! 3. Check in With Neighbors & Report Outage Call or text neighbors to confirm the outage. Check if anyone, especially the elderly or vulnerable, needs assistance. A group report of the outage can prompt quicker action from utility providers. 4. Conserve Heat in Your Home To minimize heat loss: Close doors to unused rooms. Place towels under doors to block drafts. Keep curtains closed to retain indoor heat. How to Prevent Pipes From Freezing During a Power Outage Frozen pipes can burst, causing costly property damage. Here's how to protect your pipes: Insulate Your Pipes Ahead of Time Pipes running through unheated spaces, such as basements, garages, or external walls, are most at risk. Insulating them is the best long-term solution to prevent freezing. Short-Term Steps to Protect Pipes If pipes aren't insulated, take these actions during an outage: Open Cabinet Doors: Allow warm air to circulate around pipes under sinks. Let Water Trickle: Keep faucets slightly open to allow a slow, steady flow. Moving water is less likely to freeze. Well Water Users: Plan Ahead If you rely on a well, remember that you won't have running water without electricity. Store an emergency water supply for drinking and household use. Backup Power Source: Portable Generators Having a portable generator is a reliable way to power essential appliances during an outage. Here's what to consider: Fuel Supply: Stock enough fuel for several days. Proper Ventilation: Operate the generator outdoors to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Essential Devices: Use the generator to power heaters, refrigerators, or medical equipment. Important Safety Considerations During an Outage Medical Needs If you depend on electricity for medical devices, develop a backup plan with your healthcare provider. Ensure you have access to power sources or alternate locations. Carbon Monoxide Safety Generators, kerosene heaters, and other alternate heat sources must have proper ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide buildup. Always: Use generators outside. Install carbon monoxide detectors with battery backups. Never use grills, stoves, or ovens for indoor heating.

The woman was walking with a cane when she placed it on an X-ray machine. TSA officials stopped the machine and removed the cane. They pulled it apart and determined it was a cane sword where the blade is concealed inside the core of the cane. Army Of 50 Inflatable Santa's Take Over Town The NY Post says an army of 50 giant inflatable Santas has taken over residents' front lawns in Lehi, Utah. Visitors driving through the neighborhoods say The Santas just kept coming with every turn, leaving everyone laughing so hard. Residents are embracing the holiday spirit in a big way with the imposing matching decorations. Coloradans Vote Down a Big Cat Hunting Ban: A Win for Hunters & Conservationists Colorado voters rejected a proposed hunting ban on mountain lions, lynx, and bobcats in a significant win for hunters and conservationists. The measure, Prop 127, would have banned hunting and trapping of these animals and limited the state wildlife management experts' authority. The proposal was seen as a potential gateway to more hunting bans and a shift away from science-based wildlife management. The ban failed by a margin of over 55%, with 1.3 million "no" votes against 1.1 million "yes" votes. The opposition, including hunters and conservationists, argued that the decision should remain with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, not through public ballots. Wildlife professionals also expressed concern that the ban could set a troubling precedent for future wildlife management decisions. This vote follows the controversial 2020 approval of a gray wolf reintroduction, showing that Colorado voters are closely watching wildlife policy.

Reference: https://store.usgs.gov/2025-annual-pass Headlines Highlighting the Outdoors & Western Lifestyle Zombie Drones: A Glimpse Into the Future Researchers are developing "zombie duck drones" and robot pheasants using taxidermy birds to improve wildlife research. These drones, made by combining preserved bird parts with battery-powered robots, mimic natural bird movements, allowing researchers to monitor wildlife without disturbing them. The team at New Mexico Tech has created flying and swimming drones using taxidermy ducks and pheasants. These robots help study waterfowl and other birds without the distress caused by traditional drones. The team has tested these robots in controlled environments but now seeks permission to test them in the wild. The goal is to use these drones for less invasive wildlife observation and research. https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/zombie-duck-drones/ Ontario Man Saves Wife from Polar Bear Attack In Fort Severn, Ontario, a man displayed incredible bravery when he saved his wife from a polar bear attack early one morning. The couple had stepped outside to search for their dogs when a polar bear lunged at the woman. Without hesitation, the husband jumped onto the bear, preventing the attack but suffering severe injuries to his arm and legs. While this courageous act of heroism unfolded, a neighbor witnessed the horrifying scene and rushed to intervene. Armed with his firearm, the neighbor "shot the bear several times," causing it to retreat. Emergency responders later found the bear nearby dead due to its injuries. The attack is rare, as polar bear encounters with humans are uncommon, though sightings have increased due to climate change disrupting the bears' hunting patterns. As the ice melts earlier, the bears are pushed inland in search of food. Experts stress the importance of securing food waste to avoid attracting bears and recommend fighting back if attacked, as playing dead is a myth. https://evrimagaci.org/tpg/ontario-man-bravely-saves-wife-from-polar-bear-attack-83624 FIELD REPORTS & COMMENTS Call or Text your questions, or comments to 305-900-BEND or 305-900-2363 Or email BendRadioShow@gmail.com FOLLOW Facebook/Instagram: @thebendshow https://www.facebook.com/thebendshow SUBSCRIBE to The Bend YouTube Channel.

Plus, shopping early ensures you'll have plenty of time to find exactly what you need without stress. Focus on the activities that are not in season for the BEST deals. Stores are wanting to move inventory to make room for the 2025 models. Top Sporting Goods to Buy for Christmas Gifts Whether it's for someone who loves hunting, hiking, or the outdoors in general, sporting goods are always in high demand during the holidays. Some of the top items to consider include: Camping Gear: Tents, sleeping bags, backpacks, and portable stoves make excellent gifts for outdoor enthusiasts. Look for durable, high-quality brands that will last for years of adventures. Hunting Accessories: Rifles, scopes, binoculars, and other hunting accessories are always in demand. If you know someone who loves to hunt, now is the time to find great deals.

Many sporting goods retailers offer significant markdowns on popular items to make room for new inventory after the New Year. If you plan ahead, you can score big savings while ensuring you've picked out the perfect gear for your loved ones. Why You Should Plan Now for Your 2025 Elk Hunt Looking ahead to the next big adventure? Planning for an elk hunt in 2025 may seem far away, but getting ready now can help you secure the best gear, permits, and experience. Here's why early preparation matters: Securing Your Elk Hunting Permit Early Elk hunting permits can be competitive, especially in popular hunting regions. MANY states have a lottery system, and applying early increases your chances of getting the coveted tags. Starting your preparations now ensures you're ready when the time comes to submit your application. Colorado Elk Hunting: 2025 In 2025, Colorado will implement a number of changes to elk hunting, including a draw system for tags and a reduction in nonresident hunting opportunities: Draw system Hunters will need to apply for tags by a deadline, and tags will be allocated through a lottery. This change is intended to manage hunter numbers and elk populations, and improve the overall hunting experience. Nonresident archery elk tags Over-the-counter (OTC) archery elk tags for nonresidents will no longer be available. Nonresidents will need to apply for tags in the annual draw. This change is due to concerns about overcrowding, as Colorado has historically offered the most nonresident elk hunting opportunities in the West. Shop Local: Craft & Vendor Shows Supporting local businesses by attending craft fairs or vendor shows has many benefits, especially when it comes to the holidays and sporting goods. Not only do you support your local economy, but you also gain access to personalized service and expert advice. Supporting Your Community and Local Economy Buying local helps your community thrive! At a recent Craft / Vendor Show we were surprised to learn of a new winery only 30 minutes from our home! This new knowledge has us already excited for a Wine Tasting Adventure in the near future plus we were able to grab several bottles of wine that make perfect gifts during the holidays! Shopping local ensures that small businesses can continue to offer jobs and services that benefit everyone. Plus, your purchase might come with the bonus of knowing exactly where the product came from and who you're supporting. BUY THIS "Solo Stove" - But ask first for Price Match Remember that many businesses understand having to be Price Competitive. Do not be afraid to ask if "Price Matching" is done. Example: Find the make model of the Solo Stove you are wanting on SoloStove.com and then show a Sales Associate at the store you are shopping. It's worth the ask! Note: Solo Stove is NOT a sponsor at the time this post was published, we do enjoy the Solo Stove we purchased and are happy with the fast igniting.

Smart Taxidermy Tips: Dos & Don'ts for Preparing Your Trophy Animal to become a mount that is a beautiful work of art. 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! Episode 211 Details Why Proper Preparation Matters for Trophy Taxidermy Harvesting that long sought after animal is one thing, but then moving forward to prepare it for taxidermy takes consideration. The hunt, the details of the memory, are all important in telling the story of that trophy animal and preserving it as a work of art. Before going hunting, these are added thoughts that need to be remembered prior to and after taking down that animal. Meet Jake Faehnrich, owner and taxidermist at JB's Wildlife Designs located in Mandan, North Dakota who offers tips to preserve your trophy of a lifetime. Don't: Cut Corners on Field Care Common Mistakes That Can Ruin Your Trophy's Quality Gutting: Understanding how "WHERE TO" and "WHERE NOT" to cut up when getting towards the neck. Skinning: Leaving enough of the hide for the type of mount wanted, you can never leave too much. Dull Knives: Sharp knives are key and we recommend Outdoor Edge Knives for their quick replaceable sharp blades. Cooling Head & Hide: Moisture is important, one does not want the hide or head to lose moisture and for preserving needs to be cooled as quickly as possible. Time: Try to have your animal to the taxidermist within 24 hours. If that is not possible, freeze until delivery. We cape out our deer with the entire hide still intact to the head. The cape is then folded and rolled up under the deer head, and placed into a garbage page tied securely around the base of the antler. Be care to not bend or manipulate the ears in an unnatural state. Do: Communicate Clearly with Your Taxidermist & Understand Expectations Research: Evaluate taxidermists work prior to hunting in order to be prepared. Time: Are you okay with the expected time of delivery of your mount? It is not uncommon for taxidermy to take 1-2 years turn around. Vision: Mounting style, pose, habitat, position of the deer looking to the ear placement including specific details. Providing an example of a well-liked mount is often very helpful. Cost: Taxidermy can be very expensive. It is common when dropping off your animal to make a deposit that can be as much as half the price of the mount or more. Be prepared, and understand the Terms & Conditions. Ensure a Trophy Mount Worthy of Your Hunt There are hundreds of reasons to have an animal preserved with taxidermy. Is it your personal best, a hunt of a lifetime, your first ever? There are no wrong answers, only what makes this memory extra special.

Discover How To Build Strong Relationships with Landowners for Hunting Access with these Key Tips. 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! How To Build Strong Relationships with Landowners for Hunting Access Building a strong relationship with landowners is key to accessing private land for hunting. Many hunters face challenges finding new hunting spots, but with the right approach, securing access can be made easier. Establishing trust, showing respect, and maintaining open communication with landowners are vital steps in building long-term relationships. We (Tigger & BEC, Jeff Erhardt & Rebecca Wanner) are both landowners, hunters, and outdoorsmen that believe strongly in wildlife conservation can blend well with agriculture. Starting off on the "right foot" to build that positive relationship is the key! Key Tips for Success To Gain Hunting Access Research and Approach Landowners with Respect Before approaching a landowner, do your research. Understand their land and its boundaries. When meeting, be polite and respectful—first impressions are crucial. Avoid being overly pushy, as you're more likely to gain access if you approach them as a neighbor and fellow steward of the land. Show Appreciation for Their Property Demonstrating respect for the land is one of the most effective ways to gain and keep hunting access. Offer to help with property maintenance, such as repairing fences or inquiring how you might help. Small gestures go a long way in establishing trust and showing that you value the landowner's property. Offer to Share the Harvest When you do gain access, offering to share part of your game with the landowner is a great way to show appreciation. Whether it's a portion of your deer, elk, or pheasant, this thoughtful gesture can turn a one-time hunt into an ongoing opportunity. Maintain Open Communication Throughout the Season Set Clear Boundaries and Expectations Once you've gained permission, be clear about when and where you'll be hunting. Check in regularly with the landowner to ensure you are following their rules and respecting any changes they may have made. This builds trust and ensures both parties feel comfortable with the arrangement. Express Gratitude and Keep in Touch After the hunting season, send a thank-you note or a small token of appreciation to the landowner. Keeping in touch year-round, not just during hunting season, shows that you value the relationship beyond the hunting benefits. Why Strong Relationships with Landowners Matter Securing private land access provides unique hunting opportunities that aren't available on public lands. Private lands often have more diverse wildlife and fewer hunters, making for a more rewarding experience. Building strong relationships with landowners not only benefits hunters but also helps landowners maintain and protect their property. Additional Benefits of Developing Good Landowner Relations Long-term Hunting Opportunities: Establishing a good relationship can lead to repeated hunting access for years to come. Exclusive Hunting Rights: Some landowners may offer exclusive access to hunters they trust, giving you a prime hunting spot with less competition. Frequently Asked Questions About Hunting Access on Private Land Do Landowners Require a Fee for Hunting Access? Some landowners may request a small fee or require you to sign a liability waiver. Always discuss these terms upfront to avoid any confusion. What Should I Avoid When Approaching a Landowner? Avoid approaching landowners during busy times, such as harvest season. Be patient and polite, and avoid making demands or rushing the conversation. Conclusion: Build Positive Relationships for Future Hunting Success Building strong, positive relationships with landowners is essential for gaining and maintaining access to private hunting land. By showing respect, offering help, and expressing gratitude, you can develop lasting partnerships that benefit both you and the landowner. Taking these steps not only helps you find new hunting opportunities but also strengthens local land conservation efforts.

Keeping that pack light, yet filling it with food that will keep energy up while not taking up space or adding weight can be a tricky feat. BEC dives into simple, basic tips to survive that first trip. The key is to begin planning now, weeks before you head out on that trip. It's always tempting to head online and purchase pre-packaged meals, and freeze-dried foods that claim to taste great, weigh almost nothing while the ratio of carbs or protein is needed for physical activity. The oversight comes when not having tried them first at home! Happy Stomach, Happy Trip Adding in miles of physical activity first off we know often causes the body not just to burn up calories fast, but also can accelerate the process of digesting food and the need for #2 quickly (yup, we're talking poop)!! Before being stuck on the trail with food that might be healthy but doesn't necessarily agree with your stomach right off the bat, you'll want to start adjusting your diet now and trying these tips BEC offers in this episode! Most Important Tip: Try ALL foods at home well before the Trip, Adventure or Hike! Saving Backpack Weight The pack gets heavy fast, and especially when needing to stay hydrated too. Think of food that can be consumed, the wrapping can be burned or easily packed out and keep your energy intact. Believe BEC, it is not as easy as it sounds yet it can BE EASY to do with a little preparation and DIY R&D (aka research & development). We're telling you, TRY everything you have before you pack your ride to head out to the backcountry. BEC was raised on a large ranch, has been a certified trail guide, packed in and elk hunted the backcountry. She is seasoned on what to know, but as one “never knows what's truly around the bend” believes strongly you can never over-prepare. Do not make planning a headache either, have fun and make it a family adventure so that even if loved ones cannot join on this adventure they will still feel as thou they are part of the excitement! Easy Dessert Tip: Oven or Dutch Oven Approved! Fun, Easy Soda Pop Desserts Desserts ANYONE can make… Have you seen Soda Pop desserts on TikTok? Using Soda Pop, and Forget the water. TikTok creators like @jordan_the_stallion8, have been testing out the trend. Instead Mixing a ¼ cup of Dr. Pepper soda pop to a boxed brownie mix and an egg, bake like usual and you've got Pop Brownies… Well BEC (Rebecca Wanner) hates to bust the bubble on this so-called “NEW TREND”! Our cabin master of the Dutch Oven, aka Tigger (Jeff Erhardt), has been using soda or pop in his cakes for years when cooking over the fire! Tigger makes amazing desserts by simply melting butter on the bottom of a hot Dutch oven, adding the dry cake mix and pouring over the top a can of soda or pop, covering with the lid, and setting on the hot embers or coals. Don't forget to add those hot embers/coals on top of the lid too!! Want a cobbler?? Toss in a can of your favorite canned fruit canned pie filling and BOOM – You have a Dutch Oven Cobbler! Tigger isn't the only one making delicious desserts using a can of soda pop. Head to TheBendShow.com for our good friend, Kent Rollins the Cowboy Chef and another lover of the Dutch Oven to grab his recipe and watch his easy “HOW TO” for an easy Old Fashioned Blackberry Cobbler. Remember to have fun in your own kitchen or at the campfire creating fun easy food!

Plus important custom rules for Mexico travel you need to know and we offer up a Halloween costume idea like no other! 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! Episode 205 Details Relief Efforts Post-Hurricane Helene: Mountain Mules Deliver Aid & Beware: Customs Tax on Electronics in Mexico Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts: Mountain Mules Bring Hope to Appalachia In the wake of Hurricane Helene, a dedicated team of volunteers, including the Cajun Navy 2016 from Watson, Louisiana, and Mountain Mule Packer Ranch in Mount Ulla, North Carolina, is providing crucial aid to the mountains of Western North Carolina. Challenges in the Aftermath Hurricane Helene left many areas inaccessibly devastated, with washed-out roads and power outages complicating relief efforts. Helicopters and C-17 aircraft from FEMA have helped, but some communities remain unreachable except by mule. The Role of Mountain Mules The mules are invaluable for delivering essential supplies to remote mountain communities. Known for their ability to navigate challenging terrains, these "beasts of burden" mules are not only reliable but also carry a legacy of service. Community Requests for Assistance Despite limited communication, locals have been reaching out for help via social media, sharing their urgent needs. Requests for insulin and other medical supplies highlight the dire situations many families face. As there is no power either in these locations, locals are hiking to higher elevations in order to send assistance request messages. Collaborative Relief Efforts On-site in Montreat, North Carolina, the Mountain Mule Packer Ranch team coordinated with the Cajun Navy 2016, and are working tirelessly to deliver supplies to affected areas like Black Mountain, where flooding caused extensive damage. Heartwarming Stories of Hope These volunteers have made a significant impact, not just by delivering supplies but also by offering emotional support. One heartwarming incident involved helping a family whose home was lost, bringing them food, water, and even stuffed animals for their children. Continuing Support and Updates To facilitate ongoing relief, both the Mountain Mule Packer Ranch and Cajun Navy 2016 Facebook pages provide regular updates and ways to contribute including using the Venmo listed below. Their resilience along with the affected communities shines through as they band together to support one another in these trying times.

Travelers with more than one device face a tax of up to 19% of the device's value, capped at $4,000. The rule, which has been in place for years, is now being enforced more strictly. Some speculate this is to prevent resale or increase tax revenue from the influx of visitors. Unlike in the U.S., where no such limit exists, Mexican customs can confiscate extra devices if the tax is not paid. Travelers are advised to familiarize themselves with customs rules, as they also limit items like cameras and tobacco. While making international travel plans, always know and understand the local rules and customs regulations.

Understanding your state's squatter rights, learn why it is essential to know your property rights. We explore winter folklore theories, such as the Wooly Bear Caterpillar and Farmers Almanac, plus have gift ideas to order now! 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! Episode 204 Details Understanding Property Rights: Protect Against Squatter Rights & Gift Ideas To Order Now How to Avoid Squatter Rights on Private Property What Are Squatter Rights? Squatter rights, often referred to as "adverse possession," allow individuals who occupy land without the owner's permission to potentially gain legal ownership after a certain period. Each state has different laws governing how and when squatter rights apply. States That Recognize Squatter Rights California: Under California law, a squatter can claim adverse possession if they possess the property openly, continuously, and without permission for five years. Texas: In Texas, squatters can gain rights after ten years of continuous, visible, and notorious possession. New York: New York allows squatters to claim adverse possession after ten years of uninterrupted possession. Florida: In Florida, a squatter must occupy the property for seven years and demonstrate "color of title" to claim adverse possession. Illinois: Illinois requires a squatter to possess the property for 20 years without permission. Federal Law Regarding Squatter Rights While squatter rights are primarily governed by state law, certain federal laws can play a role in property ownership disputes, especially concerning eviction procedures. The Homestead Act of 1862 allowed individuals to claim land under specific conditions, although this act is rarely invoked today. Federal law typically supports state regulations, which is why understanding your state's laws is critical. How to Avoid Squatter Rights on Your Property Here are some practical strategies to help you protect your property from squatters: 1. Regular Property Inspections Conduct regular inspections of your property, especially if it's vacant. Frequent visits can deter squatters and help you spot any unauthorized occupancy early. 2. Secure Your Property Invest in strong locks, security systems, and fencing. Make your property less accessible to prevent potential squatters from taking residence. 3. Maintain Your Property Keep your property well-maintained and visibly occupied. Overgrown lawns or dilapidated buildings can attract squatters. Regular maintenance can convey that the property is cared for and monitored. 4. Post No Trespassing Signs Clearly mark your property with "No Trespassing" signs. While this won't guarantee protection, it can serve as a legal deterrent and demonstrate that you do not consent to unauthorized entry. 5. Utilize Surveillance Cameras Installing surveillance cameras can deter squatters and provide evidence if you need to take legal action. Make sure the cameras are visible to enhance their deterrent effect. 6. Engage Neighbors Communicate with your neighbors about your property. They can help monitor it and notify you of any suspicious activity. 7. Quick Legal Action If you discover someone squatting on your property, take immediate legal action. Consult an attorney specializing in property law to understand your rights and options for eviction.

Remember When: Mississippi Hunters Land HUGE Gator in Storm Looking back on adventurous hunts, do you remember this one? Reported about back in 2023 by Mississippi Clarion-Ledger: A Mississippi alligator hunter, Kyle Mallett of St. Martin, recently captured a 13-foot, 650-pound alligator amid a stormy night on his last hunt of the season. After a frustrating evening with no big catches and a thunderstorm forcing him off the water, Mallett returned to the Pascagoula River marsh with his hunting partner, Matthew Brooks of Biloxi. While clearing grass tangled in the boat's propeller, Mallett was startled when the massive alligator surfaced just three feet from his boat. The water was shallow and clear, allowing him to hook the alligator with a fishing rod. Despite the gator taking off and the challenge of heavy rain, Mallett, with help from his cousin Jarrod Davis and his team, eventually managed to secure and reel in the gator. After a 30-minute struggle to get the giant into the boat, they finally succeeded. The alligator weighed 650 pounds and measured 13 feet, 3 inches, making it one of the largest caught this year.

Once again, a Bayern Munich star has been snubbed from a major award shortlist. Yes, that's right — Jamal Musiala hasn't made it onto France Football's top Ballon d'Or Top 30. The longstanding agenda against Bayern Munich continues. Ribéry 2013, Neuer 2014, Lewandowski 2020, 2021 ... and now this. Paul Wanner has been incredible for Heidenheim this season so far, and is starting to turn heads. The player might even receive a call up to the German National team soon. This could bode really well for Bayern Munich, who would be looking to replace the footballing legend that is one Thomas Müller. Meanwhile, Florian Wirtz has also been tearing it up for Germany alongside teammate Jamal Musiala. This leaves Bayern with a lot to ruminate on for the coming transfer windows. And gives us a lot to talk about in this flagship episode. In this episode, Schnitzel and Ineednoname discuss the following topics: Jamal Musiala's snub from the Ballon d'Or shortlist. How much these awards matter for the club's standing and attracting top players. Musiala's stellar form for Germany. Florian Wirtz's performances for Germany. Florian Wirtz or Paul Wanner? Would Wanner be the perfect Müller replacement? INNN and Schnitzel agree on multiple things (WHAT?!!!)

Episode 201 Details Hunting Survival, Colorado Wolf Debate, & Global Travel Fee Hikes: Key Updates Latest News: Hunting, Outdoors, Travel & Western Living ALASKA: HUNTER SURVIVES BEAR ATTACK & GUNSHOT WOUND Tyler Johnson, a 32-year-old hunter from Sterling, Alaska, survived a brutal brown bear attack and a self-inflicted gunshot wound while hunting on the Kenai Peninsula. Johnson was hunting black bears with his father, Chris, a former US Federal Wildlife Service officer, when they accidentally startled a sleeping brown bear in the dense grass. The bear charged Tyler, who struggled to draw his sidearm before being knocked down. Despite sustaining severe injuries from the bear's claws and a gunshot wound to his leg, Tyler managed to fire seven rounds into the brown bear, eventually incapacitating the animal. His father, Chris, helped finish off the bear and immediately began treating Tyler's injuries which included an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound to Tyler's leg. Tyler Johnson always carries a trauma kit hunting that has QuikClot and a slingshot band which the men used on the gunshot wound. The two men worked quickly, applying a tourniquet and calling for help using a Garmin InReach. It took search and rescue over an hour to get to the hunters, Chris made his son tell him hunting stories in order to help keep him awake and mind off the pain. Tyler was airlifted to Alaska Medical Center, treated, and released the same evening. This incident marks the third bear attack in the U.S. this year. Essentials: Hunting & Hiking Trauma Kit Before hitting the trails during hunting season or out for a fall hike; carrying a trauma kit is absolutely necessary. The backcountry is treacherous, and must be taken seriously. First rule - Always notify someone of your hunting, hiking or camping plans, destination, and time expected to be gone. Second rule - Always fully understand how to use any of the items in your trauma kit. The field is for reaction, home is for learning, understanding and practice. Trauma Kit Must Haves Tourniquet, Elastic Bandage, Gauze, Trauma Dressing & Trauma Sheers. QuikClot / Blood Stopper Emergency Heat Blanket, Headlamp, Fire Starter, Battery Pack. GPS Satellite Communicator: Garmin InReach or AtlasTrax for example. Duct Tape, Paracord, Moleskin, Tweezers. Benadryl (antihistamine), Tylenol, Ibuprofen.

The pack, introduced from Oregon, has been linked to the deaths of cattle and sheep in Grand County, Colorado. Despite repeated requests from ranchers for lethal removal, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) opted for relocation, stating that this decision does not set a precedent for future wolf-livestock conflicts. The relocation decision aims to balance the state's wolf restoration goals with the needs of affected ranchers. This action follows the denial of permits for lethal control, despite rising livestock losses. The Cattlemen's Association criticized CPW for prioritizing wolves over ranchers' rights, highlighting the significant impact of the wolves on local livestock. The agency's strategy faces scrutiny as it walks a fine line between wolf conservation and livestock protection, with the future location of the relocated wolves still uncertain.

This fee, originally introduced in 2019, helps cover the environmental and infrastructure costs associated with international tourism, which brought in over $11 billion from March 2023 to March 2024. However, the Tourism Industry Aotearoa (TIA) criticizes the hike, warning it could hurt New Zealand's global competitiveness as tourists may choose more affordable destinations like Canada or the UK. In addition to the IVL, tourist visa fees will also rise on October 1, from $131USD to $211USD, potentially leading to longer processing times. Despite concerns, similar "tourist taxes" are common in around 60 destinations globally, such as Venice and Bhutan, and studies suggest these fees don't deter tourists.

Explore the rise of college bass fishing as a gateway to pro angling, the innovative AI dash cam designed by teens to prevent wildlife collisions, and the best days for fall foliage in New England. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt with The Bend Radio Show & Podcast, your news outlet for the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Episode 200 Details College Bass Fishing's Rise, Teen-Invented Wildlife AI Dashcam & Best Fall Foliage in New England Latest Outdoors & Travel News! SPORTS: RISE OF COLLEGE BASS FISHING College bass fishing has emerged as a significant pathway to professional angling, with top university programs like Bethel University in Tennessee setting the standard. The 2024 Bassmaster College Series, a key event in college fishing, has seen a surge in participation, highlighting the growing popularity of the sport. As college fishing remains a club sport, meaning it is not NCAA-recognized, it opens the doors for students to earn sponsorships and win prize money, making it an attractive option for aspiring professional anglers. Universities like Bethel have pioneered the sport, offering scholarships, full-time coaches, and extensive financial support, which have helped them dominate national rankings. As more schools follow suit, college bass fishing is becoming a significant recruiting tool, drawing in both male and female students from across the U.S. and even internationally. This rise in interest and investment is cementing college bass fishing's place as a key feeder system for professional bass fishing, shaping the future of the sport. The sport's expansion beyond the Southeastern U.S. and into new regions is further fueled by the involvement of Major League Fishing, broadening opportunities for students nationwide.

TEENS INVENT THERMAL AI DASHCAM A group of all female high school students from STEM School Highlands Ranch in Denver has developed a groundbreaking AI-powered dashcam designed to prevent wildlife collisions on roads. Using a Flir thermal imager and an AI model, the device detects animals, particularly deer, on roadways before they are visible to drivers, providing crucial warnings that can prevent accidents. The project began as part of the 2024 Samsung Solve for Tomorrow contest, driven by the students' desire to address the frequent and costly wildlife-vehicle collisions in Colorado. After exploring various solutions, young women chose thermal imaging for its effectiveness in low-light conditions, when most accidents occur. Their invention, currently in the final prototype phase, aims to alert drivers of potential collisions up to 500 feet ahead, significantly improving reaction times compared to traditional headlights. Despite not winning the national competition, the students remain committed to refining and testing their device. Their innovative approach has the potential to save lives and reduce the financial impact of wildlife collisions across the country.

The six New England states—Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island—are top destinations for leaf-peeping enthusiasts. In 2023, New Hampshire alone saw 3.6 million visitors during the fall season. This year, the foliage season is expected to start later due to warm temperatures, but vibrant colors are anticipated thanks to abundant rainfall. Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine are particularly popular for their fall landscapes, with peak viewing expected around Halloween in the northern and western areas, and shortly after in the southern regions. Popular scenic routes for fall colors include Vermont's Route 7, the Upper Connecticut River Valley Loop, and Maine's Castine and Penobscot Bay Loop. For those seeking an urban fall experience, cities like Boston, Newport, and Portland offer beautiful foliage alongside cultural attractions. The best time to visit for peak color is mid-October, especially from October 12-15 in the northern parts of New England.
