    • Wisconsin Sportsman - The High & Lows of Turkey Season with Drew Schleim

      On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce sits down with Drew Schleim, host of The Predator Podcast, to recap a rollercoaster of a turkey season, and share some of the lessons learned from the past few weeks! The guys start their conversation at the start of Wisconsin's 4th turkey period, where Drew helped a hunter tag her first Wisconsin longbeard in over a decade, and managed to double up with a buddy to kick off the week. Meanwhile, Pierce was struggling after missing a layup shot on a bird, having a freaky mishap with the .410, and bumping birds all over the county before spreading his bad luck to Drew and his buddies, and eventually sealing the deal back at the home farm right at fly down. They discuss how their tactics changed throughout the season, lessons learned from this year, and what you folks should be doing to punch that late season turkey tag in these final days of the season. All that and more in this week's episode!

        • Hound Dog Network - Fair Chase in the Age of Technology

          In this episode, Matt Bortz joins the show for an in-depth discussion about the evolving landscape of hunting ethics in the face of modern technology. As a member of Idaho’s HAT Committee (Hunting and Advanced Technology), Matt shares key insights into a recent initiative by the Idaho Fish and Game Commission to evaluate the impact of technology on fair chase principles. The conversation explores: Public sentiment on hunting technologies like rangefinders, game cameras, GPS collars, smart optics, thermal imaging, drones, and AI. Survey findings from over 15,000 Idaho hunters that reveal a near-even split on contentious tools like cell trail cameras and smart scopes, while showing strong opposition to night vision, thermals, and AI for animal identification. Ethical and enforcement challenges, including how perceptions vary across regions and user experience levels. The human element of the hunt, including a gripping personal story of a challenging solo bear hunt that ends with an adrenaline-pumping close encounter. Youth outreach and conservation efforts, highlighting the importance of educating the next generation on ethical hunting and the role of community-led programs. The episode ultimately underscores the importance of public input in wildlife regulation, the need for balance between tradition and innovation, and a call to action for hunters to voice their views when new regulations are proposed.
