GOOD HUNTING

Program 09-01-18-A

Listen!

Put on your Blaze Orange and your waterproof boots, we're heading into the woods! Hunting is one of the oldest human activities, and despite markets full of food and tv nature specials about a world of oneness among species, hunting remains very popular. In this hour of To the Best of Our Knowledge – people who hunt and some of their reasons why.

SEGMENT 1:

Don Waller teaches botany and environmental studies at the University of Wisconsin, and he's the editor of a recent collection of essays called "The Vanishing Preset: Wisconsin's Changing Lands, Waters and Wildlife." He's also a deer hunter. Waller tells Steve Paulson about the role hunting has played in the conservation movement. Also, Kim Hiss tells Anne Strainchamps about her first hunt. Kim Hiss is an Associate Editor for Field and Stream Magazine and blogs as Huntress.

SEGMENT 2:

Bowhunter Bob Stout provides a brief commentary on being in the woods. And, Frank Boll, videographer for Wisconsin Public Television's Emmy Award winning series, "Wolves in Wisconsin," tells Jim Fleming why he's satisfied with only a few seconds of good wolf footage, and what it took to get that much

SEGMENT 3:

Tina Bertoni provides a commentary on what it was like to hunt a bear. Also, Tim Gallagher is editor-in-chief of Living Bird Magazine and author of "The Grail bird" and "Falcon Fever." He tells Anne Strainchamps about his hunting companion, a falcon named MacDuff, and why he's fascinated by birds of prey.
