    Episode 60 - Suppressors: Inside the Fight to Modernize Hearing Protection for Sportsmen and Women
    2025/12/19
    What happens when common-sense hearing protection collides with outdated laws and misinformation? Suppressors have quietly become one of the most misunderstood and transformative tools in modern hunting, and this week Fred sits down from NASC with Knox Williams, President of the American Suppressor Association and Brent Miller to unpack what the removal of the federal suppressor tax means for hunters, recreational shooters, and the broader outdoors community. This is an insider conversation that goes far beyond politics. We explore why suppressors are best understood as hearing protection, not tactical accessories—and why waterfowl hunters, elk hunters, whitetail hunters, and upland bird hunters alike are adopting them in record numbers. From maintaining auditory situational awareness in the field to protecting hunting dogs and introducing kids and new shooters to firearms responsibly, suppressors fundamentally change the shooting experience. The discussion also tackles common myths head-on: poaching concerns, safety misconceptions, and Hollywood-driven narratives that don’t hold up under real-world data. Drawing on decades of advocacy, field experience, and sound-measurement research, our guests explain how suppressors improve hunter safety, reduce noise conflicts with neighbors, and make participation in hunting and the shooting sports more accessible, especially in fragmented landscapes common across the East and Midwest. Listeners will also gain insight into how hunting culture is evolving, why suppressors are widely accepted in Europe, and what legal challenges could mean for the future of firearms regulation in the United States. Whether you’re a seasoned hunter or just getting started, this episode offers a clear-eyed look at where tradition, technology, and conservation-minded hunting intersect.

  • TSV Roundup Week of November 24th, 2025

    TSV Roundup Week of November 24th, 2025
    2025/11/26
    Major changes in hunting access, fisheries policy, and fall opportunities every outdoorsman should hear. This week’s TSV Roundup delivers a packed briefing on the biggest conservation and policy developments shaping hunting, fishing, and outdoor access across the country. We open with Massachusetts’ sweeping new gun laws—and what those changes mean for hunters, sportsmen, and future access on Bay State lands. You’ll hear why these policies are raising red flags for gun owners, conservation advocates, and anyone concerned about the future of lawful hunting traditions. From there, we break down how Federal Duck Stamp dollars continue to drive waterfowl habitat restoration, wetlands conservation, and public access for waterfowl hunters. If you chase ducks, dabble in waterfowl hunting, or just want a deeper understanding of how wetlands get funded, this segment gives you the essential context behind one of America’s most successful conservation tools. We also cover a major forest restoration effort on Oregon’s Rogue River–Siskiyou National Forest—work that strengthens wildlife habitat, supports big-game hunting opportunities, improves watersheds, and reduces wildfire risk across critical access areas. In the Southwest, we provide a clear update on CWD surveillance in Arizona and what hunters should know about testing rules, carcass transport, and keeping this devastating disease out of the state. Finally, we close with fall fishing opportunities across the Great Plains, including trout stocking updates, cold-water angling strategies, and why musky and winter trout fishing are heating up as temperatures cool. Whether you hunt deer, chase ducks, or fish through the fall, this episode equips you with the insider knowledge you need heading into the holiday season.

    TSV Roundup Week of November 17th, 2025
    2025/11/19
    Major wins for wildlife management and new hunting opportunities highlight a pivotal week for outdoorsmen. This week’s Sportsmen’s Voice Roundup covers one of the most encouraging conservation wins of the year. Fred opens with a deep dive into Washington’s wolf-management shakeup, where a court dismissed a lawsuit that blocked lethal removal authority during active livestock depredations. CSF’s Assistant Manager, Northwestern States Marie Neumiller joins the show with boots-on-the-ground insight into wolf behavior, non-lethal deterrents, and how lawsuits can undermine science-based wildlife management. The team provides clarity on wolf depredation thresholds, why lethal removal is necessary no matter what the anti-hunters say, and how litigation disrupts effective predator control for ranchers and wildlife managers alike. From there, we shift east to Maryland, where CSF’s own Kaleigh Leager, Assistant Manager, Mid-Atlantic States has been appointed to the Migratory Game Bird Advisory Committee, an influential body shaping waterfowl hunting regulations and habitat conservation across the Atlantic Flyway. Learn why this Committee matters, what species are directly affected, and how sportsmen’s voices influence state-level gamebird policy. We then head to Wisconsin for an update on the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program, a cornerstone conservation funding mechanism now fighting for reauthorization. Hear how land access, habitat improvement, and long-term investment in hunting and fishing opportunities hinge on the outcome. Finally, we wrap with a look at surging black bear hunting opportunities across the Southeast. From Florida to Louisiana to North Carolina, thriving bear populations and science-based management are opening new doors for hunters seeking adventure, wild game, and conservation impact.
