EP 311. Who Was "Wild Goose Jack" Miner? Nov 28, 2022

Show notes

Long before the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, a former market hunter named Jack Miner was the very first person in Canada--and likely anywhere in North America--to attach metal leg bands to migratory waterfowl. And the leg bands he attached to his "flying preachers" were very unique. Known as Wild Goose Jack, many famous American celebrities were among his closest associates. But who was Jack Miner really? Have you ever even heard of him? What did he mean especially to locals in the southernmost portion of Canada and to the conservation movement in general? What's becoming of his legacy in this modern era? In candid conversations with local hunters, foundation board members and long-time staff, the Jack Miner legend is explored in-depth. Whether your lanyard carries a few highly collectible Miner bands or you've never before heard Jack Miner, here's an episode that you'll definitely want to hear and share with friends!

EP 310. Manitoba Canada Father-Son Hunting and What It's Really About Nov 23, 2022

Show notes

"The sounds of wild geese set me free," explains Ian Kilpatrick, who's spent most of his life hunting very near his home in Manitoba. From a cozy basement room adorned with bear, deer, antlers, furs, feathers and other sentimental reminders of their lifestyle, he and son, Cole, describe memorable times, special people, by-gone retrievers. While hunting styles and technologies have changed since the father was the son's age, their then-and-now stories explain that what it is really all about remains unchanged.

Happy Thanksgiving!

EP 308. Canada Goose Deep Dive Nov 18, 2022

Show notes

From ginormous Giants to mallard-sized cacklers, Canada Goose subspecies express tremendous size and color variability. Ever wondered why? Once lumped as 11 subspecies, they're now classified as 7 Canada Goose subspecies and 4 Cackler Goose subspecies--but it was once proposed that there be 200 subspecies! Confused? Don't be. Jim Leafloor is Head of Aquatic Unit for Environment and Climate Change Canada. A recognized authority, Leafloor's spent a considerable portion of his extensive career researching Canada geese and throws a million candle-power spotlight on the otherwise murky subject of Canada goose subspecies. We do a deep dive and you're bound to learn a thing or 3 about North America's most iconic goose.

EP 305. My Amazon Fishing Outfitter Nov 10, 2022

Show notes

Deep in the remote equatorial Amazon River basin, virginal black coffee-colored waters are seething with toothed, rod-bending fishes to include not only colorful peacock bass and piranha, but even "a fish with ribs like a pig." Sounds like a paradise as described by my buddy Brent Mooreland of Acute Angling. An avid and well-travelled duck hunter himself, Brent tells about a world-famous associate he used to shotgun with before wading off chest-deep into Amazon peacock bass fishing adventures in one of earth's truly last remaining wildernesses. Heck, he had me at "a fish with ribs like a pig," but it's been a long time since a place so captured my imagination and I absolutely cannot wait to visit!
