Today’s Wilderness would like to congratulate Jeremy of Dell Rapid South Dakota as the winner of our March giveaway. Jeremy’s question was randomly selected from those received through our contact page. We would also like to thank everyone who participated in this giveaway.

Jeremy submitted the question: “I live in South Dakota and I was wondering if there is a food plot seed mix that is beneficial to the deer I have on my land. I live near the Missouri river and I have the mule deer as well as the whitetail along with pheasants. So basically is there an all around seed mix that will help with all the animals I have and not just a seed mix that is designed for one species.”

To answer Jeremy’s question we went straight to the experts at the Whitetail Institute of North America and spoke with Jon Cooner, Director of Special Projects at the institute.

Thank you Jeremy for the question and Mr. Cooner for the answer that we feel many will benefit from hearing!

Fact filled DVD on how you can attract, hold and grow, big bucks!
DVD contains exclusive Trophy Buck footage!

Welcome to the March podcast at Today’s Wilderness, where my guest is Denny Snyder of USA Outback TV. Denny and I talk about the history of USA Outback TV (formerly Pennsylvania Outback) during their eight year run with television stations like the Outdoor Channel and others as they brought their hunting adventures and how-to series to the general public. We also talk about their new endeavor with xontv.tv where they are slated to begin having programming for the internet based television system. In our second segment we talk about the offerings and information you can get from their company and we round off the show talking about the very important initiative Sportsmen Against Hunger, a near and dear program to Denny and his team.

I am sure you will find this show informative and interesting. We at Today’s Wilderness wish USA Outback TV the best of luck in their new affiliation with xontv.tv and look forward to seeing their programs again.

Welcome to this Special Edition Podcast where I will be speaking with Natural Resources Representatives from our Western states regarding big game applications for 2009.

Current Podcasts For This Series: Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho
Stay tuned for more additions to this area!

Idaho
In this segment my guest is Brad Compton, Assistant Chief of Wildlife for the Idaho Game and Fish Department. We cover the upcoming April and May deadlines for the fall limited license and the availability of over-the-counter tags and leftover license. Also covered are some of the late season opportunities the state has to offer.

Brad discusses the “super hunt” and “super hunt combo” programs that will excite the hunter looking at Idaho as an option for a big game package this fall. We think you will enjoy the information and get excited about what this addition to the series has to offer.

Some highlights from this podcast:

• April deadlines for limited big game license on Moose, Goat and Sheep
• May deadlines for limited big game license on Deer, Elk, Pronghorn and Black Bear
• Idaho’s super hunt combo that really truly is a “western safari”
