Outdoor writer and angling expert Dave Rose is my first guest this week. Dave talks about springtime fishing opportunities…including surf fishing. Dave describes the technique for catching multiple species while fishing from shore. Then Dean Hall of Michigan Sportsmen Against Hunger reminds us to donate while getting our new hunting and fishing licenses. Hour 2 kicks off with Brad Dupuie of Michigan based Apex Marine. Brad talks about the popularity of their Angler Qwest Pontoons and why they’ve become so popular with fishermen across the country.

We celebrate spring in hour 3 this week as I talk with Tom Lounsbury. Tom is an expert outdoorsman who looks forward to this time of year for many reasons, including turkey season.

You don't have to kill an animal to have a great hunt as Mike Avery proves this time while hunting with Ron St. Louis near White River Ontario. Avery is holding out for a very special bear and as a result, comes home empty handed. He has several close encounters with nice bears though and considers this one of his favorite hunts. http://www.NorthernWildernessBearOutfitters.com http://www.DartonArchery.com ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ryxiv_8fK1c
