Ready to test your black bear knowledge? This month's trivia episode pits Team Cubs against Team Boars as our panel of hunters tackles surprising facts about North America's most widespread predator.
Did you know the largest black bear ever recorded was killed in New Brunswick, Canada, weighing a staggering 902 pounds after being field dressed? Or that Alaska holds North America's highest black bear population at roughly 100,000 animals? These are just appetizers to the feast of knowledge served up as our contestants battle through questions about bear biology, hunting regulations, and field tactics.
The conversation reveals fascinating insights about these remarkable creatures. Black bears possess an extraordinary sense of smell that vastly outperforms their relatively poor eyesight, with some reports suggesting they can detect bait from up to ten miles away. Their seven-month pregnancy results in cubs born blind and weighing less than a pound. For hunters pursuing these animals, proper meat handling is essential – cooking to an internal temperature of 160°F eliminates the risk of trichinosis, resulting in what one guide describes as "the best meat I've ever had."
Perhaps most valuable is the spirited debate about baiting strategies, where team members argue the merits of limiting bait to create competition versus providing abundant food to minimize intrusion. This practical discussion, combined with historical context about indigenous hunting methods and medieval European trophies, creates a comprehensive picture of human-bear interactions across time and geography.
Whether you're an experienced bear hunter or simply curious about these magnificent animals, this episode delivers both entertainment and education.

Ever wondered about the craftsmanship behind the game calls that bring wild turkeys strutting into range? This episode pulls back the curtain on the fascinating world of custom call making with Kenneth McDonald, founder of River's Edge Game Calls.
Kenneth's journey began unexpectedly when he drew a tag for New Brunswick's first-ever turkey season. Armed with just a store-bought pot call and determination, he successfully harvested a tom on opening day. That success sparked a passion that would transform his woodworking hobby into a specialized craft. "I looked at this pot call and I'm thinking, 'I could do better,'" he tells us, describing the moment that launched his call-making adventure.
What follows is a masterclass in the surprisingly complex science behind effective game calls. Kenneth walks us through the intricate details that affect a call's sound – from wood density and surface materials to the precise engineering of internal components. We discover how different cuts create unique sounds in diaphragm calls, why glass-over-glass designs allow for custom soundboards, and how even the striker's length and weight dramatically influence performance. For anyone who's ever used a game call without considering its construction, this conversation will forever change how you view these essential hunting tools.
Beyond the technical aspects, Kenneth shares the profound satisfaction of knowing his handcrafted calls have helped hunters across North America connect with the outdoors. "That makes me a part of your hunt," he explains, highlighting the special relationship between call makers and the hunting community. His passion extends beyond craftsmanship to conservation, emphasizing how hunters contribute significantly to wildlife preservation.
Whether you're a seasoned turkey hunter, a call-making enthusiast, or simply curious about the intersection of craftsmanship and outdoor pursuits, this episode offers valuable insights into an often-overlooked aspect of hunting tradition. Join us for this fascinating conversation, and you might just find yourself appreciating your next turkey call in an entirely new way.Check us out on Facebook and instagram Hunts On Outfitting, and also our YouTube page Hunts On Outfitting Podcast.

Lindsay Ware takes us deep into the remarkable world of professional game recovery with tracking dogs, revealing the intricate relationship between hunter, handler, and canine that ensures ethical hunting outcomes. As one of Maine's busiest wildlife trackers, Lindsay shares why she chose wire-haired dachshunds over larger breeds for their maneuverability in thick terrain and impressive stamina during long tracking days.
The conversation dispels common misconceptions about how tracking dogs work. Far from simply following blood, these extraordinary animals use every available scent marker - interdigital gland secretions, body odor, breath traces, disturbed vegetation, and the distinctive smell of stressed animals. When blood trails fade or rain washes evidence away, these additional scent sources become crucial to successful recovery.
Lindsay provides fascinating insights into wounded animal behavior that few hunters ever witness. The sophisticated "J-hook" maneuver where animals circle back to observe their trail, strategic use of water crossings to slow pursuers, and the surprising terrain challenges animals will navigate despite injuries all demonstrate wildlife's remarkable adaptability. She partially debunks the "wounded animals always head to water" myth while explaining the specific circumstances when water entry actually occurs.
Perhaps most valuable are the practical tips for hunters facing the distressing situation of an uncertain hit. Lindsay explains why calling professional help early before contaminating the scene with multiple searchers dramatically increases recovery chances. Her stories of close calls with wounded moose highlight the dangers trackers sometimes face, while the emotional relief of successful recovery underscores why this work matters so deeply to the hunting community.
For anyone who values ethical hunting practices and wildlife conservation, this episode offers a rare glimpse into the specialized world of tracking that combines ancient canine instincts with modern training techniques to honor our responsibility to the animals we hunt.Check us out on Facebook and instagram Hunts On Outfitting, and also our YouTube page Hunts On Outfitting Podcast.

Walker Witt embodies the dream that many eastern hunters hold close—leaving everything behind to build a life in the western mountains. After growing up hunting whitetails and turkeys in Pennsylvania, Walker packed his bags the summer after high school graduation and headed to Montana to guide elk hunts. He never looked back.
Walker brings a unique background to his guiding career. A bull rider since age 17—initially hiding competitions from his concerned mother—he carries that same grit into the mountains. This resilience served him well when he was thrown into guiding responsibilities after another guide abandoned their hunting party. Despite being new to elk country, Walker's hunting instincts proved strong, and he quickly adapted to calling in bulls and reading elk behavior in the thick northwestern forests.
The conversation delves into fascinating insights about western hunting. Walker explains how herd bulls in thick timber typically manage only about a dozen cows compared to 30-60 in open country due to visibility limitations. He shares his philosophy that "you can fool an elk's eyes and his ears, but you'll never fool his nose," emphasizing wind strategy above all else. Eastern turkey hunters, he notes, often make superior elk guides because their calling experience transfers perfectly to elk hunting scenarios.
Perhaps most captivating is Walker's passion for hound hunting. Starting with beagles for rabbits in Pennsylvania, he now runs hounds for mountain lions and bears in Montana and Idaho. He explains the surprising fact that mountain lions typically tree quickly (within 600-800 yards) because their muscular bodies can't sustain prolonged oxygen demands—contrary to bears that might lead hunters on 20-mile pursuits. His recent work removing a problem cougar that was killing livestock and pets highlights the practical conservation role that hunters play in managing predator populations.
Whether you're an aspiring western hunter, fascinated by predator hunting, or simply enjoy authentic stories from the mountains, Walker's journey from Pennsylvania bull rider to Montana wilderness guide offers a genuine look at what it takes to pursue a life committed to the outdoors. Listen now to experience hunting wisdom earned through years in some of America's most challenging terrain.Check us out on Facebook and instagram Hunts On Outfitting, and also our YouTube page Hunts On Outfitting Podcast.

Tony Steeves takes us behind the curtain of professional hunting guiding, revealing the deeply personal side of helping others experience the thrill of the hunt. Growing up in rural New Brunswick where hunting wasn't just a sport but a way of life, Tony shares how his childhood days of following his father on trap lines evolved into a passion for guiding that complements his day job as a truck driver.
What makes Tony's perspective particularly valuable is his insight into the emotional component of guiding. He eloquently describes the satisfaction of watching clients experience their first bear sighting or successful harvest, comparing it to the joy of watching a friend succeed. "To watch him go from questioning what he did to the instant extreme smile on his face - that's what the guiding's all about," he explains, highlighting how the true reward often comes from witnessing others' experiences rather than personal achievement.
Working with Long Lake Adventures on 800,000 acres of private timberland, Tony guides primarily for black bear and moose hunts. He offers fascinating details about bear behavior, calling them "ghosts of the woods" for their ability to appear silently despite their size. His stories range from clients forgetting ammunition to his experience guiding for the television show Canada in the Rough, where his emotional reaction to a successful moose hunt reveals the depth of his connection to the craft.
Perhaps most illuminating is Tony's discussion of his recent experience as a client himself during a Newfoundland moose hunt. This role reversal taught him new field dressing techniques and gave him fresh appreciation for the client experience - knowledge he'll bring back to his own guiding. Throughout our conversation, Tony advocates passionately for stronger guide licensing standards and the importance of hunting organizations that preserve outdoor traditions for future generations.
For anyone considering a guided hunt or curious about the human side of professional guiding, this conversation offers rare insight into what separates merely competent guides from those who create truly transformative wilderness experiences.Check us out on Facebook and instagram Hunts On Outfitting, and also our YouTube page Hunts On Outfitting Podcast.

When a lifelong hunter from New Brunswick relocates to Saskatchewan, the learning curve becomes a fascinating journey through Canada's diverse hunting landscapes. Dave shares his nine-year adventure adapting to prairie hunting while bringing along his east coast hunting ethic and determination.
Saskatchewan's trophy whitetail reputation comes with controversy, as we explore the lottery system that gives residents preferential access while limiting opportunities for other Canadian hunters. The sponsorship system for family members offers improved odds but still no guarantees, creating frustration for hunters wanting to experience the province's legendary deer hunting without hiring outfitters.
The conversation takes a serious turn discussing Chronic Wasting Disease management across provincial borders. With CWD now detected in 59 of Saskatchewan's 83 wildlife management zones, hunters face new regulations and ethical questions about testing, transportation, and consumption of harvested animals. We compare different provincial approaches to containing this 100% fatal deer disease and the role hunters play in management efforts.
Dave's enthusiasm peaks when sharing his expertise training German Shorthaired Pointers for pheasant hunting. From the natural instincts of backing another dog's point to the remarkable ability to track injured birds through dense cattails, his stories highlight the special partnership between hunters and their dogs. His detailed descriptions of pheasant behavior – including the surprising fact that they can run faster than they fly – provide valuable insights for anyone interested in pursuing these challenging gamebirds.
Whether discussing the prairie moose that feed in canola fields or the limitations of wildlife management funding, this conversation spans the breadth of Canadian hunting experiences with authenticity and practical knowledge. Dave's journey reminds us that adapting to new hunting environments requires both respect for traditional skills and openness to learning new approaches.Check us out on Facebook and instagram Hunts On Outfitting, and also our YouTube page Hunts On Outfitting Podcast.
