Hunt Detail - Image Stabilizing Binos - Sig Sauer VS. Canon IS Jun 24, 2025

Show notes

Image stabilizing binoculars have become more prominent in the hunting space as a result of the Sig Sauer Zulu 6 line of binos entrance into the market a few years ago. In today's episode, Jacob shares the results of his evaluation of the Sig Sauer Zulu 6 image stabilizing binoculars as compared to the Canon IS3 image stabilizing binoculars. Is there value in a non hunting brand like the Canon IS3? How do these 2 models compare beyond the price tag? How do the stabilization features compare? Waterproofing? Weight? Field of view? Eye relief? Exit pupil? Battery life? Warranty? And, of course, image quality? Jacob will share his thoughts on these features and more on today's episode. Thanks for listening!

Wisconsin Sportsman - Summertime Brain Dump Jun 24, 2025

Show notes

On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce is flying solo with tons of updates and announcements regarding upcoming events, public land battles you might not have heard about yet, and what his e-scouting process has looked like so far this year. We've all heard about the ongoing fight to oppose the sale of public lands in the budget reconciliation bill, but a few conservation battles are being fought without as much attention: blocking the deconstruction of the lower four dams on the Columbia River Basin, and a push to maintain the Rodman Dam in Florida to protect a trophy bass fishery. On top of that, the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund is on the chopping block here in Wisconsin, which will be covered much more in-depth in the coming weeks. Lastly, as everyone's minds shift towards deer season, it's time to find that next honey hole for November, and Pierce shares some of his thoughts and ideas for finding big bucks using the onX Hunt app. We've got a little bit of everything this week, so buckle up, and enjoy!

Hound Dog Network - GONE TO THE DOGS with DARREN ALLGOOD Jun 23, 2025

Show notes

There’s plenty of “dog talk at its finest” in this episode with Hoosier tree dog enthusiast Darren Allgood. With three squirrel dog world championships under his belt and an affinity for Plotts and Mountain Curs, Steve takes the opportunity to catch up with his guest as he returns home from Plott Days. The result is some great conversation, tailor-made for brindle dog aficionados. The boys discuss Allgood’s background and beginning in an area that has long been famous for producing big-winning coonhounds and curs, many of them from the English Coonhound breed. Several coon hunting icons, of the two and four-legged variety, are discussed at length. This one is for good ole boys that love good hounds and love, even more, to sit and talk about them. For that reason, this one qualifies, without reservation, for the “dog talk at it’s finest” designation. See if you agree!
