Natural Resources Politics with Senator Todd Nash

How does a bill navigate the state senate and house in Oregon? Does the Governor veto bills out of spite? What issues are facing wildlife and agriculture in Oregon? These are some of the questions we answer in this week’s episode with my dad as he just got home from his second legislative session as an Oregon State Senator. 

Guiding in New Zealand and Canada with Kate Bryant and Darren Clifford

The head guide at Avon Valley Safaris is none other than the legendary Kate Bryant. Kate guides stone sheep and moose in Canada during fall in the northern hemisphere and heads back to New Zealand to guide red deer, fallow, and sheep during their fall as well. I had such a good time hunting with her that I couldn’t help but sit down with her and Darren to talk about the unique challenges of guiding in New Zealand and internationally. This episode is really a behind the scenes look at what it takes to make a hunting operation world class. 

Hunting New Zealand with Avon Valley Safaris

I travelled 8,277 to make this podcast episode and to join Avon Valley on an adventure. I’m down here hosting a trip where the guests and myself have been hunting red stag, fallow deer, spearfishing and having an absolutely amazing time. In this episode we talk about how to hunt New Zealand and a bit of what to expect. Darren is a fantastic human being and we recorded this episode on his boat after a day of fishing and spearfishing following some hunting at the beginning of the trip. Stay tuned for more and make sure to reach out to these folks if you are interested in having a wonderful hunting experience in New Zealand.

My 93 year old grandma, who now has five great great grandchildren, is back to talk about writing, gardening, hunting and life. There’s a 0% chance this episode doesn’t warm your heart and put a smile on your face. 

Freedom of Speech and Captains for Clean Waters

Chris Wittman, one of the founders of Captains for Clean Waters joins the show this week to talk about how they are fighting for free speech in Florida to stop a bill that would make it so that someone who calls out agricultural pollution could be sued without the opportunity of recompense.  We talk about that, tarpon fishing, and the greater mission of Captains for Clean Waters. We need your help on this one, not just to listen, but for you to learn how a couple minutes of your efforts can benefit wildlife in Florida and around the world. Enjoy!
