It’s been a crazy busy summer here in the north, but we’ve got Frank Schultz, Temple Dillard, Zach Kenner, and Nick Muche for what is becoming an annual pre-sheep episode as we sit on the brink of the fall hunting seasons getting rolling. Enjoy!

In this episode I get to catch up with John Whipple, of 49mm creative, who was on an early episode of Tundra Talk, following our goat hunt on Kodiak in March of 2018. We talk about what John’s been up to lately (which includes some firearms and bear defense instruction), as well as how hunting in Africa compared to the hunting we are used to here in Alaska.

It’s Frank Schultz and me in this episode, where after the previous episode, Frank has some cautionary tales to add involving all of the dental work he’s needed to have. We talk about potato guns, cracking muzzleloader stocks, and the troubles of running jet outboards in dirty rivers, as well as my catastrophic flub on a black bear recently. Enjoy, and hopefully learn from our mistakes!

In this episode we get to hear about some squirrel shooting from my son Jed, then Matt Herkstroeter and I talk about how fast the transition from winter to spring/summer is here, the million things we’ve been up to, and of course plenty of spring bear hunting talk. Enjoy!

In this episode I’m joined by the crew, Dr. Frank Schultz, Nick Muche, and Temple Dillard. We’re all antsy and ready for spring and hit on a number of topics including (state-level) fish and game proposals, and just being wound-up and needing to make some new hunting stories.
I plan on following up with more detailed discussion on the current proposal to close caribou and moose hunting for non-locals in unit 23 and 26A, but below are links to the announcement (along with contact and meeting info), as well as to my article on outdoorlife.com discussing the issue (that also contains links to pertinent herd information).

In this episode, I’m joined by my dad Britt Freel, as well as my uncles Jerry and Tracy. I get to hear a bunch of stories about the old days, how we came to Alaska, and what it was like growing up in what was then a wilderness town of Fairbanks, as well as hunting moose and caribou, and what “the bus” was like as a hunting camp. Enjoy!
