What is your favorite thing about hunting and fishing? 

Being able to enjoy the great outdoors with great friends and family.  While making a lifetime of memories along the way.

A paragraph or two about how you started in the outdoors, and why you maintain the lifestyle... 

I was introduced to outdoors by my father.  Ever since the first time he took me fishing and hunting, I knew right then that I was hooked for life.  The reason I maintain this life style is because of all the memories my father as well as friends and I have made along the way.  These are the types of things in life that aren't replaceable.

The Outdoor Radio Show by Willowpine Outdoors - Episode 2

The Outdoor Radio Show by Willowpine Outdoors is our BRAND NEW podcast brought to you for free every month.  We'll discuss things going on in the outdoors in and around Indiana and the Midwest. We'll tell stories about our recent deer, duck, and turkey hunts, as well as give good and practical advise and tips. Not a hunter, don't worry we never leave out the anglers, as we will definitely be talking about walleye, bass, crappie, musky, and most other types of freshwater fishing. We'll interview professionals and amateur hunters, guides, and even industry leaders. WPO Prostaff members will join us often to discuss what they're doing in the outdoors. Whether you're new to the outdoors or a seasoned veteran, give us a listen, I think you'll like what we have to say!
