Hey folks! Another great episode of the Ryan Furrer Podcast..
The Pennsylvania rifle season is freshly behind us. If you're like me and you tuned into social media during the 12 days of the gun season, you probably saw a variety of post, ranging from hunters either giving praise while sitting behind a big buck. Or hunters giving criticism to the Saturday opener and not seeing a deer on public land.
Either way, Executive Director Bryan Burhans is fine with it. He likes to hear the praise and criticism. As he puts it- "it's how he gains perspective".
Bryan, myself and my co-host Rob sat down and went over everything.
The Saturday vs Monday opener. Hunter numbers. Access. Access in relation to hunter numbers. R3 ( retain, recruit, reactivate). Public land/hunting. You name it, I think we covered it. It's a doosie!
Be sure to check out our new up and coming YouTube channel as well. ( Ryan Furrer Podcast)
Again. leave me a comment. Give it a like and a share.
Thanks- I hope you enjoy it.

Ep.44: Smoke To See By- With Ben Moyer
After a long pause- we're back. And I'm happy to be joined by one of my friends and mentors. Mr. Ben Moyer.
Ben is a lifelong outdoorsman, outdoor writer, conservationist who has spent the biggest parts of his life in the woods and streams of-as he coined it, "Northern Appalachia". As he sees it, Appalachia could be split into 2 different regions culturally. I never really thought about it until Ben, and I sat down to discuss his new book. "Smoke To See By" . After our discussion, I agree. It's different, and that's one of the things so great about Appalachia. As Ben writes: A widely traveled visitor's first sight of Greene County PA or much of the Alleghenies' western foothills, might understandably result in such a mundane impression. But that would be a limiting view, informed by screen shots and televised images of "spectacular" places elsewhere- alpine peaks, tempestuous coasts, lust tropic beaches. Through that lens to hail one place as "spectacular" risk missing the remarkable elsewhere.
This book and interview are loaded with great stories as Ben connects the stories with the details about places, they happened in giving the story texture while deepening the meaning.
If you've traveled, hunted, or fished in and around true Appalachia I'm certain you'll find this book, and podcast of true value.
You can buy "Smoke to see by" almost everywhere books are sold. Go out and get it!
Enjoy!
Ep.43: Hunt Quietly with Matt Rinella
Well, if you are into being "politically incorrect" you'll likely enjoy this episode.
I had the pleasure of sitting down with Matt Rinella. I mean Dr. Matt Rinella.
Yes, if you think that last name rings a bell, it's because Matt is the brother of Steve Rinella, who founded the now very famous Meateater brand. Not to be outdone as a "founder' of sorts, Matt has founded the now semi-famous (at least on Instagram) 'Hunt Quietly' brand. (Said in my most quiet whisper).
You see. Matt, Steve, and their other brother Dan grew up together hunting, fishing, and trapping in Michigan. Although I don't know for sure, but I assume they formed a tight bond as hunting and fishing has a way of doing that with people. As they got older, they found themselves moving throughout the country guided by the outdoors. Matt, like Steve now lives in Montana, and their brother Dan lives in Alaska.
Now. Here's where they differ. Steve obviously started the meateater television series, along with the meateater podcast, social media platform, sales swag, hunting gear, a clothing brand, a bestselling author, promotes hunting, cooking and eating wild game etc, etc. All in the name of conservation. Well. Is it in the name of conservation? See, this is where it gets tricky.
I'll be the first to say. I watch, listen, and buy from meateater. I like it, I like most of the people involved, and I get it. BUT, I also completely understand where Matt is coming from. He makes very valid points, like (Killing for content) the downside of the R3 movement, the whole public land craze and many more. With social media now the last 10 years, hunting has changed. A lot. Is it for the better? That's the real question.
With this topic I'm certain there will be strong opinions on both sides. regardless of where you sit, it's worth a listen.
As always, I hope you enjoy, and please share your thoughts.

Ep:43 Chesapeake Bay Waterman- Capt. CJ Canby and Capt. Luke Mcfadden
"You Ain't No Crabber!" HA! Now this, was some great discussion! We rolled up our sleeves and did some deep divin' (well, not that deep because as we learned in this podcast the water quality of the Bay doesn't lend itself to clarity). Even so, we got into the nitty gritty details of what's going on with the water quality with, 2 guys who spend, let's just say, A LOT of time fishing it.
Bay fisherman and crabber of 26 years CJ Canby. Capt. of the FV Miss Paula. And fairly young (8 years) Capt. Luke Mcfadden of the FV Southern Girl. Don't let Luke's for lack of better terms "inexperience" fool you. He's been working on boats since about the age of 12 and has amassed millions of followers with billions of downloads on social media with his everyday quick video segments explaining exactly what is happening with "a day in the life of a bay waterman" His social media platform is telling a story with seriousness, humility, and humor.
If there is a day that these guys aren't fishing the bay in fishing season, then that's only because they're working on their gear. We cover it all. What got them started, (the old days) the fishing now, vs then. The water quality and how it effects their lively hood. What's is, or isn't being done about it, and why.
This one was so good we decided to follow up with maybe a more "lighthearted" vol 2 (Coming soon)
With that, as always let us know what you think. hit the like, and share.
Enjoy.
