Duran Martinez - AM Outdoors Radio Show

AMERICAN IDOL

Frankly, I never thought that American Idol would make me want to do much more than change the channel. But it seems tonight, the show that features 24 “wanna be’s” and produces one “maybe” at the end of it’s run at February sweeps has inspired me. Inspired you say? Yes, to write. It seems the FOX network staple has inspired me to lay down another version of my mindless ramblings.

THE NEXT SHOW

Every week a new problem on AM Outdoors rears it’s ugly head. What will the next show bring? Who will I talk to and why? Sometimes I never know. Then, something clicks in my head and away we go. To the phones and computer to make calls and write emails in hopes of a response of any kind. In the past three and a half years, I feel that we have comprised quite a contact list of the best and brightest in the outdoors world. The greatest thing about having a list like that is it keeps my amount of talking to a minimum!

THIS WEEKS SHOW 2/27 - 28, 2010

This week my good friend Steve Gruber joins me in studio as a “co-host” of sorts. Steve is the founder of Wolf Creek Productions which has brought us great television shows such as Outdoor America, The American Archer, American Bird Hunter and most recently Deer City USA. Steve is a great wealth of knowledge and has a bit of a sense of humor as you will hear.

Other guests include Dr. Russ Mason, Director of Wildlife for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment. Dr. Mason will give us information on the deer season that was 2009 and what the DNRE and NRC are working on for 2010.

Bill Parker, Editor of Michigan Outdoor News will fill us in on the next issue of MON and Dr. Gregory Peter of Chelsea offers information on what Michigan’s feral swine problem.

Add some bashing of yours truly and a few good stories from the news wire and you have this weeks edition of AM Outdoors.

WE NEED YOUR PICTURES

I have been asking our listeners for photos of your successful hunts and fishing trips. I am also looking for photos that you may have from years gone by. I would like to update the website with some new content. So pleeeaaasse, send photos. I would really like to show off our listeners proud moments caught in time. If it’s a trophy to you, it’s a trophy to us! Send us an email with your photos to outdoormailbag@gmail.com.

THE TRAIL AHEAD

In two weeks my producer will be taking some much needed time off. It’s bad enough he is a soccer fan, but I can’t have him going crazy and join a curling team! So this show is up to you. Let us know what past show you would like to hear again and we will search the archives for that segment and bring you the best of AM Outdoors.

Thanks again for listening!
