About 7pm last night they removed the Public Land sale from the reconsiliation bill! This is a big win for those of us that enjoy hunting on this land. A HUGE thanks goes out to everyone that did their part in this fight. OnX Hunt deserves a huge thanks for putting their post out yesterday where they discovered it wasnt 500,000 acres set to be sold, but 1.5 million acres. 

Randy Newberg is a life long Hunter, trapper, and fisherman. He also has a long history of being one of the most outsporken public land advocates that we have.

We talk about the history of public land and previous attempts to sell it off. We spend alot of time talking about the polititians that are pushing this agenda aswell as their previous voting records on this topic.

We also talk about fishing on Fort Peck in Montana. 

Roger is one of the best fisherman I know! Hes the Owner of Schumann Fishing Guide Service based out of Minot North Dakota. When he called me and asked if I wanted to jump in the boat with him to go pitch jigs and place with his forward facing sonar I jumoed at the chance.

Sadly, the fish werent as cooperative as they were the previous day. Fun was had anyway! The walleyes werent active but we caught enough Northern Pike and Smallmouth Bass tp keep us entertained. 

Warning! This episode is going to contain some adult content! Bray is a local rancher here in North Dakota and one of my good buddies. 

We talk about hunter/ land owner relations from the land owner perspective. We try to figure out why nearly all of the private land is posted, unlike 20 years ago.

We also discuss some Do's and Don'ts as to how and when to approach a landowner to get permission.

Tim, Wess, George and Myself sit down to tell some lies and share some laughs after the first few days of the 2025 turkey season! 

The MOST asked question we get is what kind of boots do I wear....The answer is Crispi! So, we asked Lars from Crispi to join us for a poscast to chat about the new models they have coming out as well as some changes to their standbys.

We also spend a good bit of time talking about chasing chukars and other birds that are still on Lars's bucket list.

Ryan is the Director of conservation at Meateater, a public lands advocate, and on the board of directors of BHA, and host of Cal's Week In Review Podcast.

Ryan and myself dive in to alot of the issues that we are facing in relation to public lands. Cal does a great job of breaking down all the issues that are going on.

Then we switch gears and start talking about bird hunting and his dog, Snort.

Patrick Berry is the new President and CEO of Back Country Hunters and Anglers and a life long outdoorsman. 

For those of you that are unfamiliar with BHA ( one of my favorite conservation groups) they are a passionate public land advocate and do a great job of tracking anti public land legislation. They also work on things that benifit all of us on a more local level. Such as stream clean up, fence removal, and habitat projects.

I really hope you all enjoy this episode. Im sure I am not alone in struggling with the confusion that is going on right now in the political arena. Trying to figure out what is real and what isnt is a full time job. Thats why I was thrilled to sit down and talk some of it through with Patrick.

Travis joins Wess and Tyler to chat about all of the events coming up at Pheasant Fest in Kansas City!

We talk about the live podcast the Flush is doing and explain the trivia game that Travis hosts. Tyler and Scott Fransen will be trying to stop George Lyall from the hat trick! 

We also talk a little Twins Baseball!
