The conversation touches on how he got his start in guiding, the long days and unpredictable moments that come with the job, and the lessons he’s learned from a lifetime outdoors.

Along the way, he reflects on his time spent in the whitetail woods and what keeps him passionate season after season.

It’s an honest, down-to-earth talk between two outdoorsmen who live and breathe the lifestyle. From early mornings in the stand to long drives between camps, this episode captures the heart of guiding and the passion that fuels it.

Sheldon sits down with wildlife expert Rick Espie to explore one of Saskatchewan’s most talked about topics- the new antlerless elk hunt.

From the early history of elk in North America to the complex wildlife management strategies that shaped today’s herds, Rick explains how we got here and why many in the conservation community believe this hunt goes against everything Saskatchewan’s wildlife stewards have worked toward.

Together, Sheldon and Rick look at the science, politics, and ethics behind the decision, examining who is pushing for the season, what it could mean for future management, and how hunters and conservationists can find common ground in an increasingly divided landscape.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who cares about the future of Saskatchewan wildlife and the balance between tradition, conservation, and policy.

On this episode of the Panoramic Outdoors podcast, we sit down with Dr. John Delony for an open and honest conversation about hunting, mental health, and the deep emotional connection people have with the outdoors. Dr. Delony brings his expertise as a mental health professional, author, and lifelong outdoorsman to explore how time in nature can help us manage stress, anxiety, and the everyday pressures of life.

We talk about the mindset that comes with hunting—how it teaches patience, focus, and respect for the animals we pursue. The discussion takes a deeper turn as we look at the emotional side of taking an animal’s life, the weight that comes with it, and how to process that loss in a healthy and meaningful way. Dr. Delony shares insight on the importance of acknowledging those feelings rather than suppressing them, and how that honesty can actually strengthen our connection to the land, the hunt, and ourselves.

From personal stories in the field to lessons about family, community, and purpose, this episode explores why so many people find peace and clarity in wild places. Whether you hunt, fish, or simply enjoy the quiet of being outside, this conversation is a reminder that the outdoors can be one of the most powerful tools for healing, growth, and connection.

In this powerful episode of the Panoramic Outdoors Podcast, Sheldon welcomes Mark Hall from Wild Origins Canada to take a hard look at the growing crisis surrounding moose populations in Manitoba. What begins as a broad conversation on moose biology and behaviour quickly focuses in on a serious and complex issue: the sharp decline in moose numbers across key areas of the province.

Mark brings his years of experience in wildlife conservation and backcountry ecology to the table, helping unpack the layered challenges facing moose in Manitoba. Together, Sheldon and Mark discuss how habitat loss, increasing predation, and changing environmental conditions have collided with deeper social and political tensions around wildlife management.

At the heart of the conversation is the evolving relationship between Indigenous communities and the provincial government. Mark and Sheldon explore how treaty rights, conservation priorities, and differing management philosophies are intersecting—sometimes clashing—as all parties try to protect what remains of Manitoba’s moose populations. It's a difficult but necessary conversation, and one that demands attention from anyone who cares about the future of wildlife in Canada.

This episode doesn’t offer easy answers, but it does shine a light on the critical need for collaboration, respect for Indigenous knowledge systems, and science-based decision-making. Whether you’re a hunter, a conservationist, or someone who simply values the wild places of Manitoba, this episode will leave you with a lot to think about.
