This week we are joined by Lee and Frankie Hatton from North Alabama. These guys are long time coon hunters and caretakers of the world renown “Coon Dog Cemetery” in Cherokee, Alabama. This sacred place was created in 1937 and has grown into legend. The stories of the history and traditions of coon hunters and of this final resting place for over 300 coon dogs flow freely. The respect shown to the dogs will remind you of the special place that hunting dogs can have in our lives.

This week we’re joined by Ricky Flynt and Brad Baugh and they tell us about some amazing bowfishing adventures. Brad is a SERIOUS bow fisherman and there is much to be learned from his experience. Their friendship was formed over an alligator hunt, but has cemented in the duck blind and on the bow of Brads deluxe bowfishing rig. It’s a great summer time or off season hunt/fish experience, and the fish populations are invasive and booming, so it’s a very target rich environment. Even if you don’t think you would ever bowfish, this one is entertaining and full of guidance to help you run an arrow through a big carp. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

 This is a re-air of a Gamekeeper Classic. Our late friend Barry Smith offers so much to a listener, from fishing advice to hunting stories. Enjoy. 

This week we have Barry Smith, a highly respected fisheries scientist with a lifetime of innovation and experience around managing sportfish. It’s a conversation that includes crappie, catfish, flathead catfish, shell crackers, river fish, bass, crawfish, fathead minnows, the bream spawn, aerators, stratification, fertility, liming water, all female bass ponds and the biggest bass he has grown. Barry puts on a history and fisheries class and we all learn something and laugh as Clyde (his alter ego) makes several appearances.  Stay to the end as he tells us a great turkey hunting story. Its Bobby’s favorite podcast so far.  You’ll learn from this one.  Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

On this episode we're joined by Dr. Jerome Goddard, Extension Professor of Medical Entomology at Mississippi State University. He is a true character and knows his insects. We wanted to learn about chiggers also called red bugs and ended up learning about ticks and Alpha Gal Syndrome. There is so much a person needs to pay attention to when outside and Jerome carefully explains it all. We really learned a lot during this discussion and also laughed at his wit. It’s important to know how to protect yourself.

On this show we’re joined by Chris Cook who was a 30 year employee with the State of Alabama focused on managing white-tailed deer. Chris specialized in helping clubs and landowners improve their deer herds and hunting experiences. He was responsible for areas that already had a high population when he started and also areas with hardly any deer. We ask a lot of questions and hear some great info and stories. What do you think was the heaviest deer he saw weighed? How far do you think a trapped and relocated buck would travel after he was released? If you enjoy talking deer you’ll enjoy this one.

 Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

This week, we’re joined by George Warthen and Morgan Richardson of the Florida Wildlife Commission. They discuss how the scientific management of black bears now requires the addition of hunting as a tool to take the next step in conserving the resource. It’s a frank conversation about how things were, how they are now, and what needs to happen for the state to manage its rapidly growing bear population. With a vote approaching, these gentlemen explain the need to reinstate hunting as a management strategy. It’s a fascinating discussion and a great example of an agency relying on sound science and trained biologists to support their state’s wildlife.

He’s a home boy that has the reputation for being one of the best at running Live Scope and he explains his thoughts on the controversial subject.  Whether you call them crappie, white perch, or sac-a-lait or even crappy , you’ll want  to chase them after this one.

On this special episode we’re joined by Dr. Marty Brunson and his son Spencer to talk about many subjects near and dear to our hearts. The story of Catch A Dream is a one that will tug at your heart strings and we also learn about the new Bottomland camo Bible that just rolled off the printing press. Along the  way the conversation gets deep as we discuss God, nature and how we all experience the wonders of it all. In an open moment Bobby asks the group, have you ever prayed, “Lord, please let that buck get closer?” Marty always has a way of explaining things to us that makes perfect sense. On this weekend of celebrating Americas Independence, this podcast reminds us all about the important things of life. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.
