  • Mike Avery’s outdoor radio show is a great way to learn about hunting and fishing from experts. Mainly a Michigan show but I would recommend it to anyone interested in the outdoors! And the best part of the show is the last segment with Chef Dixie Dave!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Outdoor Magazine Radio (7/18/26)
Q: What is the best way to prep for a fall archery season at Jay's Sporting Goods?
Eric Austin recommends early maintenance, tuning, and getting gear checked as soon as possible to avoid busy September weeks, plus choosing the right bow, broadhead, and arrow for optimal performance.
Outdoor Magazine (7/25/26)
Q: What can newcomers learn at the MTPCA convention?
Merl Jones emphasizes demonstrations, kid-friendly events, and the broader outdoors education focus, inviting the public to learn about conservation, trapping, and responsible wildlife management.
Outdoor Magazine (7/25/26)
Q: How does trapping fit into modern wildlife management?
Merl Jones explains that trapping and predator calling are integrated into state management as multi-species approaches, with education and public outreach at the heart of their mission.
Outdoor Magazine Radio (7/11/26)
Q: Why don't DNR responses cover every injured wildlife call, like the skunk babies, and how do rehabilitators fit in?
The DNR explains they simply cannot respond to every distressed wildlife call due to staffing and county coverage constraints; rehabilitators and federal Wildlife Services help bridge gaps, but regulations also limit what can be rehabilitated (e.g., rabies risk with skunks).
Outdoor Magazine Radio (7/4/26)
Q: Why should someone book a trip with Luke as a new captain instead of a veteran?
Luke explains leveraging his social media presence to attract clients, offering hands-on guidance, and providing a personal, data-driven approach with a focus on safety and content-driven credibility.
