As a radio program and podcast, we spend our lives as story tellers. The best time of the day while fishing and hunting is often the time spent around the table, fireplace or campfire telling stories. Many strong, long-term friendships are formed at these times and places.
Country people, we believe, are the best story tellers on earth. On today’s program, we will spend the morning with two young Alabama boys who can spin a yarn with the best of them and bring out the best in the other southern story tellers.

There is a special relationship between a father and a son. Often it's a bond that will carry far beyond the death of either one or the other. In our lives, we truly don't know how much of an impact we have on our children or others that we have come in contact with. We need to realize that people that we see and talk to on a daily basis are watching us closely to see if our words match our deeds. On today's program, we will hear from someone who had a father that had an impact on those around him, far more than he had realized and his life continues to impact others years after he's been gone.

Throughout life, all of us take falls. Some are painless, some cause skinned knees, some break bones, some permanently cripple us and the worst can cause death. While we all fall often, 1 out of 3 who
hunt from a tree stand will fall at some point in our hunting career. For years, most of us climbed into trees without a thought of
safety. We climbed and sat at the edge of disaster and did nothing about it. On this weeks program, we will meet with two brothers who were given a vision that changed not only their lives, but saved countless lives in the process. We’ll hear stories from those who were saved from certain disaster and lived to tell about it. -
Someone once said, “Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.” Jonathan Ive, a senior vice president of Apple Incorporated, modified the line of thinking in his famous quote, “good is the enemy of great.” The quote was used as the first sentence of the first chapter of the New York Times best-selling book “Good to Great” by Jim Collins.
Today’s guest exemplifies all of these thoughts and sayings. Not many hunters can say they've passed up 150 inch whitetails with their bow, hoping they will make it through another season and grow bigger if they do make it. But he did and he learned in the process that sometimes our sacrifices pay off and occasionally they fulfill our biggest dreams.
We’ll hear in today’s program that God’s dreams for us are often far bigger than what we have for ourselves and when we find joy in all God gives us, and give him praise for the good and not so good, its then that God gives us what we desire. -
At times, we all wonder what God is up to in our lives. He attempts to show us and somehow we can't see what it is He wants us to see. When we keep our hearts open to His leading, we can be led and it will change our lives. On today's program, we will hear how God moved, through a life of abundance, a young man who had lost his way from the path that God laid out for him. Then one day, God gave him vision; not for his own benefit but for those with a much bigger need for their families. Now years later, he has made a big difference in the lives of so many families and has been blessed in return. Listen closely as our host, Dean Hulce, brings out the story of a calling that not only changed the life of the one being called, but also of hundreds of others along the way. Let's join Dean on the trail to adventure in the woods and swamps of a gulf coast state.

Our nation has taken manhood and diminished it like it's a bad thing. The media has made strong men look like fools to take away the role of men in families, communities, and even churches. On last week's program, we met Ray Howell. Ray was abandoned by his father at 5 years old and then his grandfather took over his father figure role, just to pass away when Ray was just entering his teen years. These losses left him in a bad place emotionally.
Today we'll hear from both Ray and His wife Krysta about how God showed Ray how He was looking out for him for years and preparing him for His service in leading children through archery on a walk that will change their lives for all eternity! -
Many professional athletes can only dream of retiring at the top of their game. A few have been able to do that but when they do go out, it is because they have reached an age where it is no longer possible to
compete at the level they have in the past. Most of us would stay at the top as long as we possibly could. We claw and scratch to do all we can to not lose our place at the top. But there are a few that could go on and maintain top production for a much longer time and they step down anyhow. Today’s guest is one of those who stepped down, still holding world records in archery and powerlifting as well his business career. He has hunted all over the world and had collected nearly every species of big game with his bow and many of them scoring high in the record book. With all this, he walked away because of a new calling. A calling to serve children through archery, with an emphasis on teaching them the
good news about Jesus Christ! -
There are special places and times in our lives that mean a lot to us. We cherish memories spent with others throughout our personal or married life that will always bring us back to where God did something special. One such place, nestled into Northwest Ontario Canada on the
banks of Populus Lake… is called Rushing Wind Resort. This week we will meet a couple that first came to Rushing Wind Resort together 10 years ago on their honeymoon. The husband had been there
several times and he wanted to show his wife where his life had changed. Now they are back for their 10th anniversary celebration. We’ll learn how God provided a father figure needed in the lives of some children and how that father figure later became a husband as well! -
So many times in our lives we put restraints on ourselves for adulthood. For the male of our species, it is possibly the hardest to live up to what others think should be truly a man.
Having been raised in a Northern Michigan rural area, our host walked through trails to adventure that he felt showed him to be a man. The first time a boy catches a large fish or shoots a buck and brings it home to hear, "well done," it feels like a big step to being a man. But manhood is much more.
There are also self-imposed hurdles that all men and women set to feel successful. On today’s program, we won’t hear too much about hunting and fishing, but we’ll hear a great story of a city boy who had finally made it in the music world, just to see that it was not all he had thought it was. He felt like there had to be more than the victories he had been striving for in life! -
High country elk camps and the sounds of bugling bull elk draw 1000’s of hunters to the mountains each fall. People are different when they’re in the mountains. They drop their guard and relax more than
most any place on earth. Relationships grow in amazing ways when we allow God to move in our lives.
God has used the mountains in the life of today’s guest as well as the lives of those he has shared elk camps in the Colorado and Wyoming mountains. We’ll hear of miracles that were the answers to prayer. -
Every one of us has a calling in life. For many of us, our calling is self-directed and, if we allow, many are God given. Callings can change from year to year as we move into new places in life. On today’s program, we will meet with a man who has been called to reach out to disciple men. He loves the outdoors and enjoys spending
time with others on the water and in the woods… especially in those times sharing what God is doing in his life and the lives of others. God is using this friend to get others to places where they can share their relationship with God and to others as well. He is stepping up in his calling and shares how you can as well! -
To some, it might seem dangerous or foolish but to others, it's something they look forward to all year. People lose their trucks, their ATVs and occasionally even their lives doing it, yet each year they venture out on frozen lakes, ponds rivers and streams to pull a fish through a hole drilled through the ice.
It takes a tough person to sit all day on a bucket on a frozen body of water and stare into a hole in the ice. It makes you wonder about their sanity!
Today, we'll meet such a man... a man with a passion for ice fishing. He's out on the ice every chance he gets. He'll share his passion for both ice fishing and for growing big whitetails.

Deer hunting is probably the number one hunting sport in the world. In the 2021/2022 season alone, more than 6 million deer were harvested in the United States. Most of those deer were never scored and a small percentage of them were scored and entered into a record book of some kind. Today, we’ll revisit a story of a world record whitetail buck that was taken in 2006 in Grant County, Wisconsin. We will hear from the mouth of the lucky hunter who was lucky enough to pull the trigger and down the massive buck. Then we’ll hear how that buck became one of the most important things in another man’s life and how it caused strife in his life before it finally pointed him to Jesus Christ.

Many of us grew up going to hunting or fishing camps from our youth. For many, it’s been a lifelong tradition to hunt with a bunch of others. Our host grew up where several hunters came together to work as a team to harvest deer. Then there are others who would much rather hunt and fish on their own. There are blessings and challenges in either style of hunting, But in
our daily lives, we need to understand that there are times to seek out God one on one… digging into his word and spending time in prayer. On today’s show, we meet up with a good friend of our host and the two of them talk about different ways of deer hunting, with a focus on tracking mature bucks in big woods settings. This is a solitary sport that takes a lot of stamina and concentration… But is so very
rewarding in the end! -
Hunters and fishermen have a serious passion for their sports. If you ask a deer hunter what their favorite day of the year is, most would say opening day of hunting season. If you ask a fisherman what their
favorite day of the years is, you’ll hear opening day of fishing season. Many outdoors people also share another passion; riding motorcycles. When many of us think about bikers, we think about biker
“gangs” and all that goes along with that crowd. But there is a different side to bikers, and that is a giving side. On this program, you'll hear about how giving and caring the biking community can be! -
Life is a series of new beginnings. Each morning when we wake up, it is a new opportunity to live for the Lord. This week we move from 2024 to 2025 and we don’t know what the year will bring. It’s often said that we don’t know what the future holds, but we know who holds the future. The God that created everything… Is the one who we can count on to see us through whatever lies ahead for each of us.
As we move into the new year, we thought it would be fun to bring our most listened to and most requested program back for an encore appearance. This program has more laughing than all of the rest of the programs combined. If you have never heard it, you will be greatly entertained and if you have heard it before… you will laugh even harder this time!
More importantly with the laughter is the story of new beginnings with the two brothers who join us. They share how they went from a life of religion to a life of a relationship with Jesus Christ because of the boldness of a good friend and his persistence in sharing the Gospel! -
Those of us who live in a time of immediate information have no idea what it would be like to live in a place or a time where we have no idea what is going on outside our little world. The Bible talks about how in end times, travel and knowledge will increase. If we look back over the last 100 years, travel has increased at amazing
rates. There was a time, not to long ago, when most people rarely traveled 100 miles from home. Many of us travel across the country or around the world all the time.
Today, we will learn about a chief from the deep jungles of South America and how he went from being filled with demons to becoming filled with the Holy Spirit. Most of us live in a sheltered atmosphere! -
There is a great blessing in both the young and the old as we enjoy the outdoors together. One of the things that we have lost in recent times is the passing of wisdom from one generation to the next. There are few places where it is easier to share in these times than in a fishing boat
or hunting blind. We often fail to take advantage of the opportunities to share in these special times. On today's program, we will join a grandfather and grandson on a very special fishing trip in Northwest Ontario, at Rushing Winds Camp! -
Our God is a God of new beginnings. He provided for so many people throughout the Bible, in the new and old testaments. He restored so many individuals, including king David, Moses, Joseph and all of Joseph’s family.
Many of our listeners are going through a tough time right now, having lost a loved one or maybe in the process of saying goodbye to someone. We understand that these are things that we will never get over… But with God’s help, we can get through them victoriously.

It seems that life at times is nothing more than a series of one loss after another, from beginning to end. That seems to be a given. It’s how we respond to those losses that gets us through. For those who have their hope in Jesus Christ, we have the only chance for peace in the midst of life’s losses. Today’s guest has had to deal with some terrible losses in his life and he has gotten through them. As you will hear him say, we get through our losses, but we never get over them.
