Restoring A Native Species- The Black Bear Program

We talk with Anthony Ballard, the Black Bear Program Coordinator in the state of Mississippi about the status of black bears in the state. We learn about the history of black bears in the state, their general life cycle and ecology, and also what types of research has been done along with what is currently ongoing. In this episode we try to tackle everything that's associated with black bears- the good, the bad, and the ugly. The hope is that if you listen to this episode from start to finish, you will be left with a better understanding and appreciation of the animal, as well as an understanding to why it's so important that we continue to work hard to restore them. 

New Roads, Food Plots, and Trail Cameras with Brad Farris

We are into November, A cold front is moving in, and we finally have enough rain in the forecast to justify planting food plots.

A Bucket List Hunt

Welcome back for the first episode of the 2023-2024 hunting season! If you have followed along with this show for a while, then you know we are a sucker for a good hunting story! This one involves a recent trip to the mountains of New Mexico for the enchanted month of September, when the air is crisp and the elk are bugling. Garrett Grey, Primos product manager, had the opportunity to have his first chance at an archery bull, and we were lucky enough to be there with from start to finish! Enjoy!

Lacey’s First Turkey

Any turkey hunter will tell you that every turkey they get is special but none captures the heart quite like the first. In this episode I get to share in telling the very special story of my wife's first turkey hunt. As every turkey hunting story should, it's full of unexpected twists and turns.

Live From Rick’s Cafe- Starkville MS 2023

Join us for the recording from our live show that took place February 28, 2023. We talk about the the people and organizations that came before us and made turkey hunting possible for future generations, we talk with Pete Daughtery from Turkeys For Tomorrow about current research projects, and as always we make room for hunting stories and laughs. 

Baiting Turkeys?

First and foremost, this episode's purpose is to be informative and perhaps shine a light on an issue that could potentially be doing much more harm than good. We are joined by Dr. Marcus Lashley and Dr. Will Gulsby to discuss a subject that hasn't been talked about much; the effects of baiting/supplemental feeding on wild turkeys. I assure you that you don't want to miss this one.
