We started this week's episode by petting wild deer, seriously. This week's news segments include an unexplainable carp kill in Michigan, not so natural alligators in Indiana, a makeshift state park in Illinois, and back to wolf talk in Wisconsin. Today's discussion is how Jim has been getting completely skunked the last 2 weeks but with a very interesting and controversial tip from another fisherman. I thought about this all day after hearing it and it goes against everything most of us has ever heard and instinctively think. But will it work? Smokin' Bill has a very quick affordable smoke for us, this is due to his recent work load in his professional life, he will have more time on the weekends again soon enough. Pat gives us a taste at great mountain biking in southern Indiana but will elaborate more when he's very certain of himself. Thanks for listening!!!
