045: When I was a kid, finding somewhere to hunt or fish was easy.  Besides our own farmland, we could literally drive down the road and pull into nearly every 40 acre field or woods and begin our adventure.We live in different times now.  Land has become scarce, and No Trespassing signs along with chains, gates, and cables now greet us at every turn in.  If one goes the route of leasing or buying land to hunt on, they are looking at a huge investment.  Is public land a person's only option?

I recently learned about an exciting new program called Outdoor Access.  The idea draws from the new sharing economy that is emerging, and gives landowners the opportunity to list their land for hunting, fishing, hiking, etc on a short term basis.  They are not locked in to a lease, and they can offer it up at certain times of the year when they are using it less.  Outdoor lovers are able to access the property for weekends or a few days without breaking the bank.  

This week on the podcast we will learn all about how to get started as a landowner or a client and take advantage of all that Outdoor Access offers.  We will cover topics such as liability, background checks, annual membership, payment options, and more!

041: Ice Fishing Basics:  Cabin fever is real.  Every year after the excitement of Christmas begins to wane, I find myself craving adventure.  The outdoors always draws me back to it regardless of the weather conditions or my circumstances.  This year has been no exception.  Although we have had a healthy dose of winter this time, with temperatures flirting with the zero degree mark, I have been unable and unwilling to stay cooped up in the house.  Since deer season was over and there were few other hunting options, I decided to try my hand at ice fishing.

I didn't have the right equipment, so I did what I normally do - improvise with a redneck hack.  I had no ice auger, so I used a hand mattock to chop a hole in the ice.  This worked pretty well, but I was concerned that I had scared the fish in the process.  I had no ice fishing tackle, so I just used a short dock rod and my regular tube jigs.  I did tip them with wax worms.  This is the one common thread to all the ice fishing tips and tricks that I had researched.

When you mention ice fishing, it doesn't take long for someone to come up with a story of someone they know who has recently caught a whole bucketful of hand size slabs.  Usually it sounds like they had a real easy time of it - spending a couple hours to catch 40 or 50.  I have the same experience during deer season.  Someone will always tell you about all the deer they are seeing, and act perplexed and shocked if you aren't seeing any.  I think this is because only the highlight reels get shared with people.  I realize that there are plenty of times when people get skunked, and also success stories tend to get embellished.

In any case, my experience with ice fishing was slow slow slow!  I made many holes of varying depths in different spots, but I was unable to find any fish.  I figured I was using the wrong equipment, the wrong techniques, or both.  I decided to ask an expert.  This week's podcast will cover ice fishing basics.  We will explore what I did right and what I did wrong!
