    Chris Lawrence opens with a pair of charity fundraisers, the Putnam County Deputy Sheriff’s Association fishing tournament and the West Virginia State Parks Foundation raffle. Seventeen-year-old Luke Humphries of Clay County describes winning the West Virginia Bass Nation state championship on Summersville Lake, becoming the youngest boater division champion, by switching from deep drop-shotting to shallow brush on day two, and earning a spot in the national championship. Steve Stanley of Phelps, Kentucky, recounts taking a Mingo County buck he and his son hunted for six years, one that survived an earlier arrow wound and an EHD scare. Zach Horick of Fayette County describes a buck with double split G2 tines that he took on his second sit with no history on the deer. Lawrence closes by explaining split G2 tines and how whitetail racks are scored.

    Chris Lawrence opens youth deer hunting weekend with DNR deer project leader Brett Skelly, who explains this year’s rule allowing young hunters to take a buck that counts toward their annual bag limit, and discusses antlerless harvest goals and the aftermath of EHD outbreaks. Perry Bailey, originally of Logan County, tells the story of “BJ,” a buck he followed for three years that survived an earlier gunshot wound, went missing during the EHD outbreak, and was finally taken from a five-foot saddle platform at four yards and green scored at 187. JC Gerald of the White Horse shooting range previews the evening’s 600-yard F-Class event shot after dark. Lawrence also notes ongoing problems with the Outdoors page on WV MetroNews and the start of fall trout stocking.

    Chris Lawrence opens fall turkey season with the three season segments and a correction: hunters who tagged out in the spring may still hunt fall turkey. Tournament angler Will Diffenbaugh discusses back-to-back Ohio River Challenge championship wins with his father, the Toyota Series Northern Division, the live scope debate, and a string of boat troubles. Boone County bowhunter Bill Browning describes taking a typical 10-point buck on October 3, after a third year of pursuing it. Alan McCormick then recounts harvesting a boar, a buck, and a bear within eight days of the archery opener, including the boar and bear on public reclaimed strip mine land.

    Chris Lawrence opens October with two big buck stories from Lewis County. Eleven-year-old Gavin James and his father Todd describe the 11-point buck Gavin took at 24 yards on the first weekend of the season, a deer they had tracked for three years and expect to green score in the 160s. Upshur County hunter Kyler Doss recounts his 14-point typical, with double and triple brow tines, taken on his anniversary. Ashton Berdine, West Virginia state director of the Conservation Fund, then discusses the 276-acre tract added to the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve in Raleigh County, open to hunting, and the 38,000-acre Aurora timberland easement that includes 15,000 acres of public access.

    Chris Lawrence opens the first Saturday of bow season with three major stories. Investigative outdoor writer Stephen Ziegler of Rack Junkies details his reporting on DNR wildlife resource specialist Jeffrey Brinker, who pleaded no contest to three game law violations in Hampshire County Magistrate Court — including illegal possession of a 20-plus-inch trophy buck — but was fined just $1,119 rather than the $10,500 mandated by West Virginia's enhanced trophy replacement statute, and has faced no license suspension. Ziegler and Lawrence discuss DNR Director Brett McMillan's public response, which Ziegler calls legally inaccurate, and Ziegler previews additional pending stories including a disputed poaching case against private citizen Larry Jackson. DNR wildlife disease specialist Ethan Barton then addresses the late-season EHD outbreak centered in Mingo County, explaining why cooler temperatures represent a natural endpoint, and drawing a sharp distinction between EHD's recoverable population impacts and CWD's slow, permanent toll. DNR special projects leader Avery Echevarria closes the show with the 2026 Mast Survey — white oak above average, soft mast up 24%, hard mast down from last year's exceptional crop — projecting better deer movement and higher harvest than 2025.

    Chris Lawrence broadcasts live from Stonewall Resort State Park in Lewis County for the DNR's annual National Hunting and Fishing Day celebration. DNR Director Brett McMillan and Wildlife Chief Paul Johansson join Lawrence to break down the economic weight of hunting and fishing in West Virginia — 598,000 licensed hunters and anglers generating more than $41 million in annual spending and 2.1% of the state's GDP — and explain how Pittman-Robertson and Dingell-Johnson excise taxes generate $11 to $12 million in federal conservation funding for the state each year. Newly promoted Colonel Dave Trader of the DNR Law Enforcement section discusses the swift water rescue and underwater drone technology deployed during recent flooding events, the division's canine corps, and an ongoing hiring push to reach full staffing of 126 officers. Chef Marion Holanger of Little Mountain Creek Lodge at Pipestem State Park previews the Taste of State Parks luncheon — an Appalachian-focused wild game menu featuring deer, rabbit, duck, elk, and wild boar. Mike Booth of the On the Limb Podcast closes the show, previewing the podcast's three live recordings at the event.
