  • #55: The More You Know

    Remember “The More You Know” from NBC Saturday Morning? This is the podcast equivalent of Blossom talking about reading or Matthew Perry talking about exercise or Al Roker talking about being a good dad, only it’s us talking about outdoors things. Predator Swamping.  Protandric Hermaphroditism. Additive vs. Compensatory harvest. Plus, French Fries, April Vokey, Hurricanes, Hot  Weather hatred, and Beef Jerky!

If that sounds like the most ridiculous 40 minutes you’ve ever spent, wait until you click play! PS – if you’re in Florida, and hunt the Kissimmee River Basin, make plans to be at this meeting!
