Campfires are great places to have discussions. There’s no better way to spark up a meaningful conversation than around a fire. Over the years, it’s the chats with friends around fires that have stuck with me the most. In this series, Kevin Dergez and I get together each week, around a fire, to talk about stuff related to the outdoors, hunting, fishing, wildlife and wild issues. I’m Robert Koopmans, and welcome to Around the Fire. 

 Today, Kevin and I simply killed some time, discussing a wide variety of topics from encountering deer on roadways to ice fishing to catching fish by hand (and is it legal?), poaching, tying flies and what you might do if you saw a Sasquatch...

 Thanks for listening. If you have a question or a comment, send me an email at [email protected].
