This week's episode is a BS session between the three of us.  Jeff tells the story of his 9th inning turkey and then we discuss topics like hunting non-native species, eating groundhogs, eating raccoons, and how much meat you get from a wild turkey compared to a farm raised turkey.  it was a fun conversation and we hope you enjoy the episode!

Here's a link to the episode we did all about turkeys with the Ohio Division of Wildlife that we reference in this episode. #40 - We Talk Turkeys with the Ohio Division of Wildlife

This week's episode is about the recently released Ohio Deer Summary report published by the Ohio Division of Wildlife.  There is a ton of good information in this report and I encourage everyone to take the time to read through it.  I also realize you are busy, so we go through what we considered to be some of the key takeaways from the report in this episode, sort of a highlight reel.  We hope you this conversation and maybe gain some insight into how things might be shaping up for the 2019 deer season.

This is a great episode if you are a turkey hunter in Ohio because we talked to Mark Wiley from the Ohio Division of Wildlife all about turkeys.  Mark is the wildlife biologist for the Ohio Division of Wildlife that manages Ohio's turkey population, so he's a wealth of information when it comes to turkeys in Ohio.  We tried to get answers to all the common Ohio turkey questions, some of which include....

How are Ohio's turkey season dates determined?

Why do legal turkey hunting hours end at noon during the first 2 weeks of season?

Why is there a separate northeast turkey zone in Ohio?

How was the line between the northeast turkey zone and the rest of the state determined?

How does the presence of predators in the area affect gobbling?

Why does Ohio consider any bearded turkey legal instead of any male turkey?

Why is there a spring and fall turkey season?

We learned a lot during this episode and we hope you all get something out of it.  Mark even shares a little known fact that contributed to 2018 being a good year for turkey hunters in Ohio.  We hope you enjoy this episode and want to thank Mark for taking time to talk to us!

This week we talk to Seth Leech from the Ohio Elk Hunting Community about bringing elk back to Ohio!  We talk about where things are in the process, what the feasibility study showed regarding how many elk the state can support, what are some of the current roadblocks, and what people can do to help bring elk back to Ohio.  It was a great conversation and we really enjoyed talking to Seth and hope to see elk roaming the state in the future.

This week we discuss raising kids in the outdoors and how our perceptions of hunting, public lands, and quality family time outdoors has changed since having kids.  We talk about some of the things we are trying to do to make sure our kids grow up to enjoy hunting and the outdoors.  With kids there are always some funny stories and you better not forget tissues when you go out in the cold with kids, so hopefully this is entertaining and informative!

Whether you're currently raising kids or are already done raising your kids and are maybe working on grandkids, let us know what you are doing to help guide them down a path that leads them to enjoying the outdoors!  We'll share some of our favorite suggestions on an upcoming episode!
