In this episode of Michigan Out of Doors, we sit down with Allen Crater, a multifaceted contributor to Michigan's outdoor community. Allen is the president of Stevens Advertising, an author of Outside in Shorts and For Everything There Is a Season, and a passionate advocate for conservation as the Vice President of Pere Marquette's Trout Unlimited. He also writes for Michigan Out of Doors magazine, sharing his insights and love for nature.

During our conversation, we dive into a variety of topics, including his work in advertising and his writing journey. We also discuss the most recent Michigan Natural Resources Commission (NRC) meetings and its impact on local conservation efforts. With firearm deer season in full swing, we share our plans for opening day and chat about some of the latest updates on hunting regulations and strategies for the season.

Tune in for an inspiring conversation about Michigan's outdoor traditions, the importance of conservation, and the stories behind the work that keeps our state's natural resources thriving.
