DISCOVERING | 25th Trails & Tales Deer Poll | BuckFest | Stories from Sidnaw Station


Subscribe:


Episode 61 - The Trails & Tales Outdoor Radio Deer Poll celebrated it's 25th event and what would’ve been the 70th birthday of its founder, Tim Kobasic. Brian Whitens (906 Outdoors) has some wonderful old footage of Tim's interviews from the past decade to share.

I checked out the 3rd annual BuckFest in Crystal Falls that night.

And an old army tent hosts hunters and visitors in Sidnaw for comradery, stories and drinks, in honor of the tent's original hunter, Jerry.
