In the Ozarks, people have always lived in rhythm with the natural world. Hunting, fishing, and living off the land, aren't just things we do, it's who we are. And though our lives are inextricably linked to the land we live on, we've never been more disconnected from it.

  • Why push evolution

    I guarantee that the vast majority of your listeners are creationist. I was very that the speakers pushed the evolution narrative. Very disappointed.

  • Don’t pass this one up

    These guys are the real deal. Yes, they talk hunting and fishing, but they also talk about conservation, woodland management, Ozark land history, and responsible living in our beloved hills. Although from Arkansas, they do a good job of representing the Missouri Ozarks as well. Professionally produced with great guests.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 244 - Larry Dablemont - The History of the Jonboat: Built for the Ozark Way of Life
Q: What might be the closest thing someone could find to experience floating down an Ozark river in an Ozark jonboat?
Dablemont recommends the Low Paddle Jon as the closest option, followed by a 19-foot square-stern Grumman canoe. He also describes plans for building a wooden jonboat in his books.
Ep. 244 - Larry Dablemont - The History of the Jonboat: Built for the Ozark Way of Life
Q: What has changed between the rivers then and now, and why does the water leave so fast?
Dablemont says springs have dried, groundwater levels are falling, and water flows underground through accumulated gravel. He also points to irrigation, wells, and increasing demand for water.
Ep. 246 - Larry Dablemont - Stories from the Old Timers of the Big Piney River
Q: What is it about the Ozarks that you think just sticks in people's blood and makes them want to spend so much time out there just experiencing nature?
Larry says he thinks attachment to a place may begin with where someone is born and first encounters nature, and describes feeling God's presence on the river.
Ep. 246 - Larry Dablemont - Stories from the Old Timers of the Big Piney River
Q: At five years old, who were some of the influences in your life and the men in your life that were taking you out there? And what do you remember about them and their stories?
Larry recalls his father and two grandfathers, especially Fred Dablemont, an independent trapper and outdoorsman who taught him about local wildlife and life on the river.
Ep. 224 - Christy Graham - The Trout Disaster: Flooding, Failed Hatcheries, & Emergency Regulations
Q: Why were the regulations set to two fish per day and 14-inch maximum length?
The two-fish daily limit and the 14-inch max size were chosen based on creel data and the desire to protect larger fish while still allowing some harvest, particularly on heavily pressured sections like the upper White River and Norfork tailwater, to balance fishing demand with conservation.
