This week we are celebrating Pat's first kill. He tells his story of the hunt that got him his first deer. After we have a important piece on what is going on with the Mississippi River and its dangerously low water levels. Jim has a haunting prediction of one avenue people may explore to fix it, so this does not happen again.

This week's episode is written and narrated by Pat. This is one example of how dangerous shipping can be on the Great Lakes. This is the story of the sinking of the Carl D. Bradley. Any comments or questions email us at [email protected] and thanks for listening!!!

This week we discuss the question "what is a coyote?" We go over what they are, what they eat, why do they howl, are they good or bad for the environment. Pat's bench is a simple question too, where is the rut? Bush Lite Billy has been working a lot of overtime lately so he did not have a recipe this week but does join us for the conversation. Any comments or questions email us at [email protected] and thanks for listening!!!
