Where culinary expertise and sportfisherman collide, Chef Craig Walker.

Eradicate Catalina Island Mule Deer?!?!

Today we discuss the proposed action to kill every single Mule Deer on the Island of Catalina. A decision hunters and outdoorsman everywhere are outraged about. We are joined by Mike McVey a wildlife biologist and waterfowl guide. Mike has seen this sort of proposal play out before and is here to help explain what the thought is behind it, as well as steps we all can take to prevent this from happening. To make your voice heard you can get involved with a number of NGOs like: Safari Club International California Deer Association Backcountry Hunters and Anglers Mule Deer Foundation These organizations are the ones advocating for our favorite past time, and supporting them in any way will make a difference to better our hunting future.
