We’re on Vacation this week, which means a Bonus Episode! If you’re here for hunting and fishing, check back Thursday for a great conversation about Artemis Sportswomen and a fantastic story of how the Program Manager got into hunting! But, in the meantime, so we don’t get penalized by the Apple Overlords, here are some random thoughts on the 1989 Kevin Costner Classic, Field of Dreams . . . PS – if you know someone who’s not always down to talk hunting, fishing, or conservation, this might be a great episode to introduce them to our platform. Provided they like the movie. If not, just don’t tell them! Go to…

Conversations 2.11: Dr. Richard Chandler
Recently, FWC revealed the final product of the South Florida Deer Study, a multi year paper that provided a in depth examination of how deer in both Big Cypress and Panther NWR behave and are affected by hunters, predators, and hydrology. This study is remarkably timely, given the backdrop of the Western Everglades Restoration Project coupled with hunters observations of the Big Cypress deer herd. The study can be found on FWC’s website or you can find it on Dr. Chandler’s site here, where you can also follow Dr. Chandler’s other works.

Conversations 2.10: Jerod Newman
Dogs Spend any time around any group of waterfowlers and the conversation will eventually turn to dogs – good ones, bad ones, crazy ones. This week, we’re joined by Jerod Newman of Doyle’s Farm Kennels, the premier retriever trainer in Florida. He gives us a broad overview of the world he exists in, from bumper colors to e-collars, force fetch, hunt tests, and how answering an ad in the Orlando Sentinel changed his life.

#135: Nate’s Bachelor Party
What do you do when your best friend has to miss his bachelor party AND postpone his wedding, but still gets married this week? You throw a virtual bachelor party and record it as your podcast episode. If you’re here for hunting, fishing, conservation, Florida – boy, did you pick the wrong week . . . But, we’re more than just those things – we’re a family, and when it’s a landmark event in someone’s life, sometimes you just roll with the good times. That’s what this is. Hope you enjoy it.

#134: Historical Hunters
We all know the big names in hunting these days: Rinella. Remi Warren. Michael Waddell and Dr. Duck and Jeff Coates and Ron Boehme. But what about the guys that were THE GUYS before these guys? What about the historical hunters that built the foundation we stand on today? Join us as we’re joined by Bill Cooksey of Vanishing Paradise/National Wildlife Federation and Todd Waldron of Modern Carnivore’s Outdoor Feast . . . Together, we take a pass at names like Collier, Thomas, O’Connor, Kimble, Grinnel, Akeley, Patterson, Hill, Patterson, Corbett, Rawlings, and many more as we draft Historical Hunters.

Conversations 2.9: Danielle Kirkland, FWC Invasive Plant Management
Chances are, if you’re listening to an outdoors podcast, you’ve heard some mention of the topic of Spraying. We toss around binary concepts – stop spraying, ban chemicals, poison . . . In this week’s conversation, we take a measured approach with an expert on the subject, FWC’s Danielle Kirkland, a leader in the state’s Invasive Plant Management Team. We go into detail on why spraying occurs, why natives matter, why managing invasives needs to continue, how herbicides are approved for usage, the creation of muck, lake levels, and pay to spray – plus why Danielle does what she does . . . You do not want to miss this…

#133: Water
The Savings Clause. WRDA. Lake Levels. LOSOM. LORS. Everglades Restoration. What does all of it mean? This week, we give our takes on the things you hear so much about on a recurring basis from so many of the non-profits – we’re not experts, but we try to take an inquisitive and thoughtful approach to what’s going on with Florida’s most precious resource . . .

Conversations 2.8: Nicole Qualtieri
If you’ve listened to our podcast for any length of time, Tuesdays or Thursdays, you’ve heard us mention Nicole Qualtieri – she was the guest Editor of Volume 4 of Modern Huntsman, she created an all-women’s Deer Camp, she’s the hunting and fishing editor at Gear Junkie, a former employee of both Meateater AND BHA – and we have just the sort of meandering conversation you think we’d have – conservation funding, women in hunting, truth in reviews, the Office – you name it, we cover it in this, uhhh, unorthodox chat!

#132: Moms, Pellet Grills, and the Savings Clause
We wanted to do a podcast about moms in the outdoors, but that turned out to be harder to accomplish than we thought. So we do our best, ask for some help, and keep moving! This week, songs about moms, some thoughts on our moms, famous outdoors moms, a strange segue into the world of pellet grills, vacuum cleaners, apple watches, a rescheduled wedding, and Travis rants about a failure of leadership in the conservation world . . . Plus, new reviews, feedback on the dog draft, and #whileIcastandblast . . . Go to Patreon and become a friend of the show OFFICIALLY here! E-mail Fletcher with Hallett Insurance to…
