    235. T.J. Schwanky and Vanessa Harrop from Outdoor Quest TV

    In this episode of Panoramic Outdoors, we welcome TJ and Vanessa from Outdoor Quest TV for a conversation about our experiences traveling and hunting in Africa. From the moment you arrive, Africa offers a completely different perspective on wildlife, conservation, and everyday life, and we share some of the stories and lessons that have stayed with us long after returning home. We discuss the incredible animals that make Africa such a unique destination, the landscapes that seem to stretch forever, and the excitement that comes with seeing wildlife in its natural environment. Beyond the hunting and adventure, we also talk about the people, cultures, and communities that make the continent such a memorable place to visit. The hospitality, traditions, and way of life are every bit as impactful as the wildlife itself. Throughout the conversation, we reflect on what surprised us most about Africa, how the experience changed our perspectives, and why so many outdoorsmen and women dream of making the trip at least once in their lifetime. Whether you're planning your own African adventure or simply enjoy hearing stories from around the world, this episode offers an honest look at one of the most remarkable outdoor experiences available anywhere. Join us for a great discussion filled with stories, laughs, and a deeper appreciation for the wildlife, culture, and people that make Africa truly unforgettable.   Thank you to our sponsors:  https://www.ihunterapp.com/  https://www.redneckhuntingcanada.com/ https://www.skre.ca

    234. Melanie MacCarthy - What the Seal River Proposal Means for Manitoba

    This week on Panoramic Outdoors, we welcome Melanie MacCarthy, president of the Manitoba Lodges and Outfitters Association, for a conversation about one of the most talked about conservation proposals currently facing Manitoba — the Seal River Watershed proposal. Covering nearly 50,000 square kilometres of northern Manitoba, the Seal River Watershed has been described as one of the last completely intact watersheds remaining on earth. The proposal includes the possibility of an Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area, a national park reserve, expanded provincial parks, and a new shared management structure involving First Nations, Manitoba, and Canada. Melanie joins the show to break down the concerns being raised by lodge owners, outfitters, hunters, anglers, and northern operators. We get into questions surrounding access, hunting opportunities, tourism impacts, provincial authority, wildlife management, and what this proposal could mean for the future of outdoor recreation in Manitoba. We also discuss why the MLOA believes this proposal could create precedents for future land use decisions across the province, the importance of public engagement, and why Manitobans should understand what is being proposed before opinions are formed. Whether you agree with the proposal, oppose it, or are simply trying to learn more about it, this episode is about understanding the conversation from all sides and what the future of Manitoba’s north could look like.   Thank you to our sponsors:  https://www.ihunterapp.com/  https://www.redneckhuntingcanada.com/ https://www.skre.ca

    233. Robert Karpiak- Caribou Country

    Robert Karpiak from Caribou Country joins us for a conversation that goes far beyond hunting. Based in northern Manitoba, Robert shares what it really means to live and hunt in true caribou country, where the landscape is vast, the weather is unforgiving, and the connection to the land runs deep. We get into the realities of caribou hunting, from migration patterns and timing to the challenges that come with pursuing an animal that’s always on the move. Robert talks about the responsibility that comes with it, the respect for the animal, and how these hunts are about far more than filling a tag. This episode also dives into northern life, the people, the culture, and the lessons that come from spending time in places most will never see. There’s a rawness to it, a level of self-reliance and perspective that only comes from being out there. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to hunt where the road ends, this one’s for you.   Thank you to our sponsors:  https://www.ihunterapp.com/  https://www.redneckhuntingcanada.com/ https://www.skre.ca

This episode is a straightforward look at the full experience, built for anyone considering their first African hunt or wanting a clearer picture of how it all works.   Thank you to our sponsors:  https://www.ihunterapp.com/  https://www.redneckhuntingcanada.com/ https://www.skre.ca

    230. Mark Hall- Project Grizzly Balance

    In this episode of the Panoramic Outdoors Podcast, we sit down with wildlife advocate and filmmaker Mark Hall to talk about the idea of “grizzly bear balance” in British Columbia. As grizzly populations continue to grow and expand into areas with more human activity, the conversation around how these iconic predators should be managed has become increasingly polarized. Mark shares his perspective on the importance of looking at the full ecosystem when discussing predators, prey populations, habitat, and human use of the landscape. We discuss the role of science in wildlife management, how politics can shape conservation policy, and why honest conversations about predator numbers are often difficult to have. The discussion also touches on human–bear conflicts, the role hunters historically played in wildlife conservation, and why finding a practical balance between people and predators is critical for the long-term future of wildlife in the province.   Thank you to our sponsors:  https://www.ihunterapp.com/  https://www.redneckhuntingcanada.com/ https://www.skre.ca

    229. Doug Duren- Steward of the Land

    On this episode of the Panoramic Outdoors Podcast, Sheldon sits down with Wisconsin land manager and conservation advocate Doug Duren for a grounded, honest conversation about land stewardship, whitetail management, Chronic Wasting Disease, and life on a working family farm. Doug is widely known for his philosophy, “It’s not ours, it’s just our turn,” and he breaks down what that really means when you’re responsible for hundreds of acres of habitat, livestock, timber, and wildlife. The conversation dives into practical land management strategies that actually improve whitetail habitat, the realities and long-term concerns surrounding CWD, and how deer movement, carcass disposal, and hunting pressure all play a role in herd health. Beyond the science and strategy, Doug shares what it’s like balancing farming with conservation, navigating modern pressures on rural landowners, and why stewardship has to come before ego. His perspective from decades of managing his family farm in Wisconsin’s Driftless region brings depth to the conversation and challenges hunters to think bigger than just the next season. This episode isn’t just about killing bigger deer. It’s about responsibility, legacy, and making sure the land and wildlife are stronger for the next generation.   Thank you to our sponsors:  https://www.ihunterapp.com/  https://www.redneckhuntingcanada.com/ https://www.skre.ca

    228. Jordan Sillars - MeatEater: Blood Trails

    This week I’m joined by Jordan Sillars of MeatEater, the creator and host of the new investigative podcast Blood Trails. We dig into the stories behind the show, why true crime in the backcountry hits different, and how hunting knowledge, tracking, and time spent in wild places change the way these cases are investigated and told. Jordan walks through what drew him to some of the most unsettling cases covered on Blood Trails, the responsibility that comes with telling real stories involving real families, and how the outdoors can both reveal and conceal the truth. We also get into the crossover between hunting culture and investigative journalism, and why these stories matter to hunters and non-hunters alike. If you’re into thoughtful storytelling, the outdoors, and true crime with depth and respect, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.   Thank you to our sponsors:  https://www.ihunterapp.com/  https://www.redneckhuntingcanada.com/ https://www.skre.ca
