    Ep.131 How A Maine Nonprofit Gets Kids Hunting Safely

    Send us Fan Mail Something big is at stake when fewer kids learn to hunt, and Ron from Moose Maine Kids says it plainly: without new hunters, we risk losing a major pillar of conservation funding, hands-on habitat work, and a core piece of Maine outdoor heritage. We start with his own story, getting dragged into cold deer mornings as a kid because the family needed food, then growing into the kind of outdoorsman who understands hunting as more than recreation.  From there, we get into the practical craft of youth hunting mentorship. Ron explains why “interest” is fragile but “success” is sticky, and how Moose Maine Kids designs mentored youth hunts to give beginners a real chance while keeping gun safety at the center of everything. Their Maine youth turkey hunt program stands out because it is active, engaging, and structured so kids can focus on the woods waking up, the first gobble, and the thrill of doing something hard the right way. We also talk about what it takes to scale this work statewide, from equipment to logistics to the volunteer network that makes dozens of hunts possible.  Then the conversation shifts to the Dream Adventures program, offering hunts and fishing trips for kids with critical illnesses, including the fight to make sure “dream adventure moose permits” actually serve Maine kids. Ron shares the emotional side of guiding families through unforgettable days outdoors, even when the animals do not cooperate, and why the messages that come afterward from kids and parents are the real measure of impact. If this story moves you, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find Moose Maine Kids and support the mission.

    Ep.130 Stealthy Start Until Someone Hits The Horn. Moose Madness

    Send us Fan Mail Five days sounds like a long time until you’re staring at a New Brunswick moose tag and realizing the clock is already running. I’m Ken Marr, and I’m joined by my buddies Denver Lewis and Dalton P-Dog Patterson for a full breakdown of Dalton’s first-ever moose hunt, done in a brand-new northern zone where the animals are plentiful, the roads are confusing, and the rut can flip the script overnight. We talk about the real work before the hunt: figuring out access on timber company land, scouting with limited time, and why trail cameras can show “moose all summer” then deliver nothing once bulls start roaming.  Then we get into the fun part: the sounds and decisions that make moose hunting addictive. You’ll hear how a cow call can spark an instant response, what tree knocking actually sounds like in person, and why moose move through thick cover like a “truck without an engine.” We also share the little moments that shape a trip, including an opening-morning stealth mission that goes sideways fast, plus an encounter with other hunters who try to put the guys on a truly big bull.  The payoff comes on day three when a simple plan works exactly as drawn up the night before. Dalton settles in, makes a solid 300-yard shot with a 270 WSM, and we walk through what happens next: confirming the hit, approaching safely, field dressing, and pulling a massive animal out efficiently. If you care about meat care, this one is packed with practical tips like using a big game sled for recovery and the frozen water-bottle method to keep quarters cold on the drive to the butcher.  If you’re getting ready for moose season, love hunting stories, or just want field-tested tactics for calling, gear checks, and staying calm under pressure, you’ll get something from this conversation.

    Ep.129 From Rookie Casts To River Confidence In Fly Fishing

    Send us Fan Mail Something about a river at dark makes real life fade out fast, the bills, the noise, the racing thoughts, all of it. We sit down in Denver’s garage right after a quick fishing night and talk through why fly fishing has turned into our go-to reset. I’m still green as grass, so you’ll hear the rookie side of it too: learning how to cast in tight spots, why the roll cast matters, and the simple goal that changes everything, getting the fly to land flat with a clean presentation. Denver Lewis breaks down the everyday realities that make you better fast, like going often, switching flies constantly, and not overthinking gear. We get into wet flies vs dry flies, how different patterns cast differently, why barbless hooks change how you fight a fish, and the kind of practical advice that saves you from losing trout. Denver also shares a great hack for carrying flies without overheating in summer: an old bino harness instead of a vest. Then the conversation takes a turn into the stuff you don’t expect. We talk lamprey eels in New Brunswick, how big they can get, what they do to fish, and the myths people repeat about lightning strikes. Jared Lewis brings the guide perspective, from teaching brand-new anglers to building an experience that’s fun even on slow days. He also shares the work he does with Heroes Mending On The Fly, taking veterans, RCMP, and first responders on guided trips and tying nights, and how fly fishing can help people living with PTSD finally breathe and open up. We finish with river culture and big-fish dreaming: “take a fly, leave a fly” boxes along the water, sturgeon that can outlive you, and why those river dinosaurs sometimes launch out of the water beside the boat. If you’ve ever wondered whether fly fishing is “for you,” this one will make it feel a lot more reachable.

    Ep.128 Trivia Night Challenge 10, Australian Hunting Edition! Test Your Skills!

    Send us Fan Mail A bunch of hunters walk into Australian hunting trivia with the same game plan: guess confidently and hope Google backs us up. It’s brothers versus brothers, the trash talk starts early, and the score swings on questions that sound simple until you realize Australia plays by a very different set of rules.  We dig into the surprising reality of deer hunting in Australia, including how many deer species were introduced and successfully established, and why their antler casting timing feels upside down compared with Canada. From there we jump to deer seasons and year-round opportunities in certain states, plus how “invasive” versus “protected” changes everything. If you’ve ever searched for Australian deer hunting seasons or wondered what animals are even out there, this is the fast, funny primer you didn’t know you needed.  Waterfowl hunting brings some of the most practical takeaways: a nationwide 2024 ban on lead shot, a hard rule you’re not allowed to break while birds are in the air, and how limited public land access can be depending on the state. Then we hit the truly unique stuff: banteng hunting (and why Australia is the only place you can legally do it), the truth about recreational crocodile hunting, and the dingo problem that helped create one of the longest fences on Earth. We even end with a jaw-dropping invasive species fact that will change how you think about rabbits, feral cats, wild pigs, and land damage.  If you like hunting podcasts that mix real regulations, wildlife management, and laughs, hit play, share it with a buddy who loves trivia, and leave a review so more hunters can find the show.

    Ep.127 You Can Build A Great Food Plot With Small Gear

    Send us Fan Mail Your food plot doesn’t need to be perfect, but it does need a plan. We’re joined by Neil Connors, a hunter with a wall full of whitetail proof, to talk about how he builds plots from rough timber ground and keeps them producing through dry summers, acidic soil, and real-life time limits. Lane Lewis and Dalton Patterson jump in throughout with their own hard-earned lessons, and we keep it focused on what you can actually do this season. We dig into the stuff that moves the needle: buckwheat as a fast-growing draw that also builds organic matter, clover management that hinges on mowing timing, and why winter rye can be a secret weapon for both feed and cover. We also talk about screening tactics like Egyptian wheat or milo, how much sunlight different plants really need, and why preserving topsoil and moisture matters more than chasing “magic” blends. From there we get honest about inputs and prep. Neil explains liquid lime as a quick pH boost and why liquid fertilizer can be more efficient than granular. We also talk weed pressure, no-till attempts, and using glyphosate responsibly when it’s the right tool. Then we shift into early-season scouting decisions: cell cam subscriptions, when summer inventory matters, how mineral sites actually help, and why big bucks don’t always show where you expect them. We wrap with hunting setups and woodsmanship: ladder stands versus ground blinds, saddles and climbers, mock scrapes, and a few unconventional attractants that have produced real results. If you enjoy deer hunting strategy, food plot planning, whitetail scouting, and preseason preparation, this one is packed.

    Ep.126 The Big Game Hunting Adventures Of Mark Carter.

    Send us Fan Mail One hunter. Twenty-one years. Twenty-nine North American big game species. That’s the North American Super Slam, and our guest Mark Carter is the first person to ever join this show that has finished it. We talk through how a goal that sounds like a bragging-rights checklist becomes a long, gritty project built on missed chances, repeat trips, and the kind of discipline most people never see from the outside. We also go straight at the conversation that always shows up around hunting online: conservation, anti-poaching, and the real-world impact of regulated trophy hunting. Mark shares firsthand examples from places like Mozambique where legal hunting permits fund boots-on-the-ground anti-poaching units, protect massive wildland areas, and provide meat to local communities. We dig into why “taking away value” can backfire in countries where wildlife needs a financial reason to be protected, and what hunters often misunderstand about how tightly controlled some African hunts really are. From there, Mark takes us into the travel side: how he uses Safari Club International and Dallas Safari Club connections to vet outfitters, why “cheapest” can ruin the trip you saved for, and what it’s like hunting Marco Polo sheep in Tajikistan near the Afghanistan border. We cover his physically toughest hunt (Stone sheep), his most mentally demanding hunt (polar bear on the ice), dangerous game realities up close, and a few stories that will make your heart rate climb, including a Cape buffalo encounter and a black mamba striking the vehicle. If you care about big game hunting, hunting travel, wildlife conservation, or you’re just curious what it takes to chase a lifetime milestone the right way, this one is packed.

    Ep.125 When Protected Wildlife Becomes A Public Threat

    Send us Fan Mail A sea lion the size of a small car starts lunging at people in a Southeast Alaska harbor and the town has to make a call. I’m joined by Brandon Ware out of Petersburg, Alaska, and he walks me through the full story of two aggressive male sea lions that were “terrorizing” the docks, stalking people, and creating a real risk for kids and dogs in a working marina packed with boats. Before we get to the action, we slow down and get the context right: what Southeast Alaska is like day to day, why Petersburg is such a commercial fishing hub, and what waterfowl hunting looks like up there, from sea ducks and diver ducks to geese and even big sandhill crane migrations. Then Brandon breaks down Steller sea lion biology in a way that’s hard to forget: 1,500 to 2,500 pounds on the big end, heavy scarring from fighting, massive teeth, and a bite force that can change how you think about “marine mammals.” From there, we talk wildlife management and the legal reality under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, including how Alaska Native subsistence and cultural harvest works. Brandon shares what went wrong with these particular sea lions, why non-lethal efforts didn’t solve it, what it’s like taking careful shots inside city limits, and the chaotic challenge of retrieving a 2,000-pound animal with a crane when a line snaps and the whole plan goes sideways. We also dig into the “why” behind aggression, including signs of sickness, parasites, and the dangerous pattern that starts when people feed wild animals. If you care about hunting ethics, conservation, and real-world safety around wildlife, this one’s for you.

    Ep.124 Bird Dogs, Brook Trout, Fly Rods And A Redneck Hippie

    Send us Fan Mail Fly fishing has a weird power when you finally slow down enough to feel it: the sound of current, the rhythm of a cast, and that moment your brain stops sprinting. Ken Marr sits down with guide Erik Roach for a candid, funny, and surprisingly deep talk that moves from bird dogs and grouse woods lessons to the mental health side of wading a river. Erik calls himself a “redneck hippie,” and he explains why his favorite kind of guiding is not about ego or money, it is about helping people find peace outdoors. We get practical for beginners, too. Erik breaks down fly fishing myths and why you do not need expensive gear to start catching fish, especially if you buy used, keep your setup simple, and practice on your local water. We also talk working dogs and upland hunting reality: why some breeds are a full time job, how to think about energy levels and home life, and why the best training is simply taking your dog hunting. From there we jump into grouse hunting fundamentals, including positioning in thick cover, ethical shot choices, and a straightforward way to think about gun fit. The conversation turns serious around conservation in New Brunswick. We talk striped bass controversy, Atlantic salmon challenges, invasive species, habitat, headwaters, buffer zones, and why hunters and anglers lose ground when we fight each other online instead of protecting the water and woods we all share. If you care about fly fishing, bird dogs, upland hunting, outdoor mentorship, and real world conservation, this one will stick with you.
