Our guest for this podcast is author David Petersen. David is a credible and accomplished outdoorsman who has written extensively about many of his life experiences in the ever vanishing wilderness. We discuss his book “Ghost Grizzlies”, which has recently been released in its 3rd edition, with many new photos’ and information not available before. We talk about the grizzlies that many believe may still exist in the mountains of Colorado, including the 1979 incident involving guide Ed Wiseman and the truly last known Colorado grizzly. David talks about his books “A Man Made of Elk”, “Writing Naturally” (which is a guidebook for anyone wanting to write about the outdoors) and also about a Petersen cult-classic “Racks”, including future plans to re-release much of that books information under a new handle. David shares details about his life and how they have brought him to where he is today, also discussing his very important role with Trout Unlimited.

David evokes the kindred spirit of the outdoorsman within you when you read his writing or listen to him speak. His talent is endless and his personality and demeanor infectious, this show will make you long for a mountain hike. He and Kevin share a parallel of having chased grizzly sightings in Colorado for many years making this podcast a great connection and a really good listen, we hope you enjoy it.

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.

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.
