THIS WEEKS SHOW - Michigan's DNRE has issued a shoot on sight order on feral swine throughout the state. The animals have been considered a nuissance species and should be treated as such. Now, it seems that facilities that keep Russian boar (and others) on site for hunting opportunities are coming under fire. There is a possibility looming that could threaten those who legally and effeciently maintain these facilities and force them to eradicate their livestock and find an alternative means of income.

Duran will talk with Doug Miller of Thunder Hills Ranch and Paul from Ted Nugent's Sunrize Acres about the possible economic impact.

Steve Ladany from Northland Tackle will give info on new products for fall and winter. And Captain Michael Tilmann from Tilmann Outfitters will break down salmon fishing on Michigan's West coast!
