advice tomorrow um I’m supposed to go Thursday Friday Saturday I know tomorrow’s going to be a little bit bumpy but I gotta go I got to make it up you know that feeling so uh John got his first Bear

the northern part of the bay a few days ago as opposed to the flicker minnows that we so routinely run on the southern part of the bay in here in the skinny water skinny water should be fairly well protected Friday and Saturday but it’s it’s it’s going to be kind of it’s going to be a little rocky out there I think in the morning I listen if I have to I’ll go into the river there are fish in the river right now Brian good evening thank you I appreciate that so going back to bear and Elk tags um here’s a story of a guy who I’m calling the luckiest elun in Michigan good evening Sean fellow angler Quest owner pink flicker shads yeah pink uh Pink uh flicker minow was working for me thank you Tony I appreciate that I got your I got the last text from when you were in nine feet of water in a certain area thank you be taging Andy’s parking lot so uh few years ago a friend of mine Mike Scherer was listening to the outdoor magazine radio show Chris says mike your food plot’s looking good has some nice bucks showing up you mean my food plot in Kansas Tim good evening hi uh hey James he was listening to the outdoor magazine radio show at the end of the year and I reminded him I REM reminded all the listeners if you want to apply for a pure Michigan hunt you’re running out of time and he says oh yeah I am running out of time I’ll do that and he put in for one pure mission Mig hunt application five bucks and he won the stupid thing rabbit homesteading Larry says if on YouTube hit the Subscribe button then click on the bell for all notifications Larry how how do you like the way Chris derson and the folks at Rapid River treated you they took care of you didn’t they so we got a pure Michigan hunt as part of the Pure Michigan hunt he gets a bull elk tag now normally when you get a bull elk tag through the Michigan elk lottery system once you get a bull done you can never apply again but if you get your bull tag through the Pure Michigan hunt you can continue to apply so he did guess what I got a notification from him a text from him uh Tuesday Morning uh Tuesday morning Monday morning whatever it was and okay got I don’t want to run way out there thanks Mike I’ll probably Mike stay where you’re talking about in that first line when you say it’s been okay I just don’t want to run I don’t want to run all the way over there anyway so he gets another uh Michigan elk tag his name is Mike Scherer he’s on in the first hour of this week’s show Chris says yes its name is the Mike food plot just waiting for you one day to come down I appreciate that thank you so much uh oh as a result of getting my Michigan Bear Tag I have decided not to go to Ontario and hunt with Ron St Louis of Northern Wilderness Bear Outfitters this year for a couple of reasons um number one it’s the same weekend as my daughter’s baby shower now last year Shelby I didn’t go to Ontario in the fall because of your wedding shower now this year I’m not going because of your baby shower next year they ain’t no showers right anyway well that and I’m also getting um some minor surgery done that next day so it works out better if I stay home if I would not have gotten a bear a Michigan Bear Tag I would have gone to Ontario but since I have a Michigan tag it doesn’t matter good evening Jerry how are you Jim always a pleasure uh they will take care of it she does owe me Jeff she does owe me big time uh but I’ll be back up there next year and I’m going on a bear hunt Michigan bear hunt with Johnny bowler the bear whisper and yes I will be using well I won’t have a new rifle I’m going to be using my Brenton AR-15 350 Legend with my suppressor now I’ve killed probably 16 or 17 bears and never had a desire to take one with a gun and actually ly my preference would still be to take one with a bow I’ve killed him now with recurve compound and crossbow but it does seem kind of fitting to take my first Michigan bear with a michigan-made rifle being the Brenton 350 Legend so that’s what I’m going to use Johnny bowler is g to put not a huge bear in front of me but he’s going to put a respectable bear respectable bear in front of me and I’m going to shoot it I’m not putting any pressure on Johnny but I’ve hunted with him twice now and I’ve not shot an animal now the first year I handcuffed him figuratively speaking not literally because I was hunting with a recurve was me my bait was like my blind was like seven or eight yards from the bait and we did have a bear come in he just didn’t get me didn’t give me a shot um oh there’s Johnny right there my plan is the bait you hunted with a cross I’ll try to move it back you can keep it right there Johnny keep it right there I don’t don’t move it back I don’t mind being right there that’ll be fine if I remember right it was like 35 yards that’s fine I’m okay with that Captain Jim got his red oak tag he’s stoked Angie good evening how are you I have not shot the suppressor yet Tim honestly that that is so far down on my list of Todo things right now that oh with the recurve okay with the recurve yeah I know where you mean yeah we should probably move the move it back a little bit there yeah probably a good idea oh Tim I haven’t shot the suppressor yet it just it’s down on my list of things to do first thing is I got to get these fishing trips in and based on the tip I just got from Mike Smith of offshore account Charters I’m not real excited 40 40 would be okay good evening Dan don’t put me up in your Shack your Shooting Shack Johnny because I know that’s the best place to sit however you know that I need to be sitting in I don’t need to be I want to be sitting in a primal blind this year it’ll be the Primal Primal Harvester blind so we’ll set one up back there e Justin good evening how are you buddy Justin you probably can’t see it but there’s a little wire right here coming from behind my ear into my ear you are indirectly responsible for that thank you Jeff good evening Bruce good evening Scott how are you tonight appreciate you joining me on this edition of Wednesday Night Live I’m getting behind here let me catch up can you believe that next week is the 4th of July already how does this happen where does time go how does time fly so fast honestly um I hope so Johnny but I’m I’m not sure because my weekend is really tied up I hope to Buddy that’d be great because Johnny’s coming down here to drink beer with some Polish people probably at the St stands Festival is that this weekend yeah I’m sure it is gotta get you and Ross on here to fish though Johnny for sure okay um my ing has been limited because of the wind and it’s also going to blow tomorrow the golf outing let’s talk a little bit more about this I had a meeting how’s the walleye fishing been for me I haven’t been out in about a week now Scott because of the uh wind the wind’s been killing me on the days that I can fish it blows like hell and on the days that I can’t fish it’s Dead Calm Jim says hey Johnny I’m polish you want to drink you want to drink beer with him all right I had a meeting Monday uh we visited the West Branch Country Club where the Mike re Outdoors charity golf outing is going to be on Monday July 29th I actually hadn’t seen the club before I didn’t play it we just looked at it it looks to be in beautiful shape looks beautiful they’re doing some minor Renovations of the clubhouse I think it’s going to be wonderful I met with Steve Windam of muc I met with um uh AML Russo and Gigi from the forward Corporation and we had a conference call with Tom the owner of the West Branch Country Club to talk about some details to talk about things how things are working out and and it’s it’s really coming together nicely we have a full field at this point uh meaning we have we have enough golfers to put a forsome on every one of the 18 holes however we’re going to double up some of the holes so we still have more room for golfers and we have more room for sponsors now why are we doing this back several weeks ago several weeks ago thank you Tony I’m looking at that right now uh months ago now I was talking about one of my goals for the summer was to play more golf golf and Bill Lincoln who is sometimes on here said hey have you ever thought of a golf outing I’m like no no no I don’t want to do a golf outing then the conversation here on Wednesday Night Live got uh you know you can make a lot of money on an outing well I’m not looking to make money on an outing for me but if we could make money for a good cause by the end of the Wednesday Night Live it was like okay this is a done deal we’re going to do it uh I’m going to partner with muc Michigan United conservation clubs to raise money for their youth camp you know if I’m going to get involved in a charity golf outing it’s going to be outdoor related and what better cause than to raise money to get kids involved in the outdoors in my opinion that’s as good as it gets so uh we have openings for golfers and we always have openings for sponsors if you want to help out either as a player Andor a sponsor go to the website mcc.org golf that’s mcc.org golf uh let me just see if I can would you look at that there’s the website mcc.org golf this is the Mike Avery Outdoors charity golf auding with proceeds to benefit mu’s Youth Camp okay you click there to register it is a hundred bucks a person okay now I had somebody this morning say oh that’s kind of Rich that’s not rich that’s not you get 18 holes of golf you get a cart you get lunch at the turn and you get a steak dinner that night plus it’s a fundraiser mcc.org golf here it is again anyway Mike mcc.org gool if you want to join us like Mark Holston is he will be joining us Matt good evening how are you how often do I get to Southwest Michigan it’s been a long time uh my mom lives in Northern Kent County and lately the only times I get down there or to visit her which is not Southwest Michigan West Michigan or to watch my granddaughter Addison play softball but I appreciate the offer Jeff that would be uh that would be fun mark thank you for getting the sponsorship too appreciate that Jason Carston how are you buddy can you make it down Jason was on the radio show last week so I was talking about sponsors for this event and and and before I have listed uh the sponsors as we have them now but we’ve had some new ones that have come on board I want to give them a shout out uh Michigan brand meets is on board Pizza Sams in Midland is on board and my friends my brothers and sisters at Trinity Lutheran my church uh the folks from the wild game committee and the athletic boosters uh Club um have have come on board uh to help out there as well so it’s wonderful that’s wonderful uh what area would you recommend launching from this would be my first time out this year on sagon Bay I’d go to Lynwood Beach Marina lywood Beach Marina what if in instead of golfing to put a ball in the hole you do mini golf and try to cast a fishing lure in the hole well that’s an idea it is a deal good evening Dave how are you thanks for joining me on this edition of Wednesday Night Live so mc.org golf mcc.org gool if you want to join us it’s going to be a lot of fun I you never know with a first year event just how things are going to turn out and there’s always a little bit of nervousness a little bit of trepidation but I really believe this is going to come together and be a big success and it’s my intent that this will be a yearly event and every year we will partner with the folks at muc to raise money for the Youth Camp so that’s what I’m hoping let’s talk about some promo codes Avery 10 Rapid River knives Rapid River knifeworks.com code Mike 20 get 20% off on all your Michigan Brand Products the entire also if you click on the store locator button you can um you can find uh a link to all their stores so uh check that out uh good evening Ed Jim says he’s looking forward to the golf outing in July Jim has signed up for the event now Jim made an interesting point earlier when I posted a flyer for this he says you know I’m I’m not really a great golfer but I signed up anyway and that’s and Jim you are well aware of this but saying this for the benefit of others you don’t have to be a great golfer I’m I’m not a great golfer in fact some days I’m not even a very good golfer um you don’t have to be a great golfer to take advantage of this and to enjoy this it’s a best ball so you know you got four people on the team and you take the best ball you can Duff all the way around and use the other guys shots or the other G shots no big deal um and it’s fun and it’s a it’s a fundraiser it’s for a good cause so Jim I look forward to seeing you at that event thank you very much ah let’s talk about who’s on the outdoor magazine radio show this week before I do that I wanna I want to talk about something else I’m working now with a new company and you will let’s see if we can pull this up here as long Google why’ you do that to me website okay don’t just spin spin spin Google take me there all right I’ll try it down here uh this take me there okay let me go back to streamyard let me let me uh add one that I want to share let me get rid of this one and let me add this one okay this is a new company that I’m working with right here and I’m pretty excited about this uh this concept is not new but they’ve taken the concept and refined it um you know what it’s like to have to crawl up into the bed of your truck and pull stuff out or reach in there with your old man stick to the front and try to pull everything out well this is a Michigan based company family-owned and you know I love that it’s called truck trolley and they’ve come up with a new portable removable system that allows you to slide the truck trolley out of the uh truck bed and easily access things now as I say this is not the first time this has been done but it’s a unique it’s a unique angle on it because number one this is removable easily removable you can fold it in half and only use half of it and it’s inexpensive it is much less than the cost of some of the others on the market and you will hear the um the the the ad for this the radio commercial the spot for this on the show this week but as I get one of these installed in my truck I’m going to be showing these off um pretty cool pretty cool and I’m quite excited about it okay uh Lor says she’s never golfed before tried to a dog crate out Captain JT I’m not a golfer in can of 10 so I sponsored it’s a great cause thank you JT thank you cap appreciate that uh that’s very nice of you very generous and and and and like so many of the activities I get involved in so many of you are stepping up and being very um gracious and very generous and I appreciate man the wind is ripping out there okay here’s who’s coming up on the outdoor magazine radio show this week Brian Krauss who is a Michigan elk guide I have him on the show because obviously a lot of people are looking for Elk guides right now by the way if you go to the DNR website michigan.gov DNR and and do a search for Elk guides there is a list of elk guides there with their phone numbers I talked to Brian about what to expect from a Michigan elun is it going to be like an El hunt out west is it a slam dunk what questions you should ask what you should look for so he’s my first guest then Mike Scherer the guy who has won two elk tags now in about seven years evening Eric oh good to hear Lori said it’s beautiful out there then Brent Pike of the Michigan Wildlife Council you might know Brent he is the guy who started Pike outdoor gear but it’s py ke outdoor gear and they make very high quality top quality Upland bird hunting gear uh clothing he’s also a member of the Michigan Wildlife Council and he talks about um their their herefor Generations Campaign which is designed to let non- hunters and Anglers know what role we play in today’s world then in our second hour a guy who was on here with us earlier I don’t know if he’s still around his name is Ed retherford trout Scout Charters trout Scout charters.com um he is an interesting guy and he’s been on the lakes for like I say 55 years now I talk with him as he’s fishing out of I think he’s out of pres gel this morning and they’re fishing lake trout and just a great guy great conversation then Steve Windham of muc with an update on the golf outing plus he talks about the mentored youth hunting license which is um there been there’s some changes proposed to it which would also allow folks who say somebody who has a cognitive impairment and they can’t pass the test say you know say they’re 30 years old but they just they have some problems um if this passes and it looks like it will they will be able to hunt at any age on the mentored youth the mentored hunting license so very very nice very very nice John good evening I agree with you Larry rabbit homesteading Larry and in our third hour um we had the southeast Michigan so we go from northern lake here on to Southeast Michigan to talk with Brad Smith of Detroit Outdoor Adventures his website iFish detroit.com that’s iFish detroit.com he talks about fishing the St Clair River he talks about fishing Lake St Clair he talks about fishing lake Yuri he talks about fishing the Detroit River uh lot of good lot of good advice Mike says here you go Mike says I loaded my groceries in my truck the other day and his beer slid to the front of the bed he had to climb in between the cover and the bed to retrieve it because when your beer slides to the front you have no choice but to go get it could have used this product here’s what I have been using Mike I made what my son James calls an old man stick I took a broom handle and I screwed a big um hook into the end of it so I can sit there at my tailgate and I can reach forward and hook things but I think the truck trolley isn’t even better better idea and I can’t wait to give it a try you could use it for hunting and fishing gear you could use it for sporting equipment I’m thinking golf clubs you could use it for yard uh supplies working around the house you could use it for groceries you can use it for everything Dean good evening how are you at truck trolley.com is the website truck trolley.com all right uh give me some questions here let’s do some questions for the last few minutes and we’ll uh we’ll see where it takes us again if you got your bear or elk tag do you know where you’re well obviously you know where you’re hunting do you know who you’re hunting with can you touch base on what you just spoke about the hunting for yes uh Blake would be a perfect example of the Scott when he gets a little well as he continues to to grow older um because I suspect Blake had would have a problem passing the hunter safety class um he would if this passes and it looks like it’s going to because it has bipartisan support from the legislature which is a rare thing these days it would allow Blake to continue to hunt on the mentored hunting license which as you know Scott he can hunt but you or somebody else has to be basically hunting over his shoulder which is as it should be in a in a young kid or a kid like Blake so if this goes through Blake will continue to be able to hunt on the mentored hunting license and it’s hoped that this will go into effect for this fall this uh this fall hunting season Ed says he had the old man stick before he started driving tahos very cool that says he’s hunting with some guy incini um I think the Detroit river is kind of slow right now there’s there’s always resident fish in there Tim but it’s slowed down for sure I am hunting with inini I actually got my room over in Newberry I have to cancel my room in White River I haven’t done that yet so if you want to hunt with Ron St Louis I may have opened up a spot for you let me tell Ron I’m not coming up first though yet right don’t jump on a text with him right now all right I think that’s going to wrap it up for tonight uh you know what Mike this is an interesting question and thank you for bringing it up is there a promo code yet for truck trolley there is not yet I talked about it with company co-owner Andy Weiss um and there was some discussion as to how that would be implemented and what my involvement would be in it um so we’re working through that there is no promo code for truck trolley yet but there will be I suspect when that happens I will let you know in fact I’ll have Andy Weiss on the show here in the next few weeks to talk about that the old man stick it’s a great idea honestly uh you can sit at the tailgate you just take your old man stick and you can reach anything at the front of the bed of your truck which is fine for light items right you know if the groceries slide up there if a sixpack of beer slides up there or whatever that’s nice um but if it’s a heavier item I’m thinking like you know patio blocks or bags of sand or golf clubs or something the stick doesn’t work quite as well it works but not quite as well uh and if it’s a bag of something like a bag of sand you don’t really want to be putting a hole in that because you’re going to make you know going to lose half your sand so uh I like this idea of the truck trolley you you pull it out and again it’s removable it’s it’s held in there with straps so you pull it out and you load up the gear on the truck trolley and then you push the truck trolley up in the bed of the truck I’m pretty excited about getting my hands on one of these it would be a great uh a great idea for your dad Brent good evening buddy how are you Ralph nice to have you along with us Mike says he’s hunting with his family in Red Oak Mike I may have asked you this earlier but let me ask again how many points did you need to get a tag in Red Oak I think I only had two to get one for third season third season same principle Jerry a boat dock pole same principle same thing and I can’t use my boat boat dock pole because it’s on the angler Quest right now the thing I’m using my boat my dock pole for right now is actually not docking so much as it is uh lately fishing in the wind if I have to fish downwind I have to slow the angler Quest down so I put out a sea anchor or a trolling bag and you know with those sea anchors you’ve got that one yellow strap that when you pull it up it it it it collapses the the the bag so you can pull it out of the water in theory I should have a rope tied to that so I can just pull it up but I don’t so I just reach below the surface I grab it with my dock pole and pull it up and it does the same thing ah gotta find ways to get things done [Music] right oh does this mean what I think it does no it does does I never hit don’t repeat oh so it’s going to wrap up early on me well T pole works also all right my friends I’m going to Mike Avery Wednesday Night Live Mike Avery outdoors.com Mike at Mike ay outdoors.com have a great night my friends talk to you next time
