<p>What is The Ozark Podcast, why did we start it, and where do we see it going? We’ve been asked this question by podcast guests, listeners, and friends enough times recently that we finally decided to make a full episode about it. </p><p>In a world dominated by media, our goal is NOT to become influencers - all we’ve ever really wanted to do is learn and produce really good hunting, fishing, &amp; outdoor content <strong>from the Ozarks for the Ozarks. </strong></p><p>This episode is the first time you’ll get to hear from the three of us founding friends talking about our different interests and reasons for starting the Ozark Podcast...we hope you enjoy it!

<p>We sat down with Austin Booth, the director of AGFC, to talk about the future of conservation and his vision for "common man and common woman conservation". Former Marine, turned leader of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, Austin is as level-headed and well spoken and as a wild hog is ornery, and he is impressively available to the public to hear how he and the agency could be doing a better job. Heck this man already has our vote for governor if he ever decides to run one day. </p><p>We talked about:<br>-the biggest issues our region of the world is facing today<br>-the exciting new proposal for a "conservation tax credit" where the state of Arkansas will pay you up to $10,000 to practice prescribed burns, feral hog trapping, timber stand improvement, flooding wetlands and more<br>-how millions of bird species are disappearing from North America while one species in particular is increasing and why <br>-what AGFC thinks about the mountain biking scene growing in popularity in the Ozarks<br>-what "common man and common woman conservation" means in today's day and age</p><p>You don't want to miss this episode!

<p>We got to talk turkey hunting in the Ozarks with the most famous turkey hunter in the world, Mr. Ray Eye. Ray is an Ozark native, master turkey hunter and a titan in the turkey hunting world. Baseball has Babe Ruth, Football has Tom Brady, Basketball has Michael Jordan and turkey hunting has Ray Eye. I’m just saying, this guy is a big deal. Although he's chased gobblers all over the world from Massachusetts to Hawaii and more, Ray says nothing beats the "hand-to-hand combat" that turkey hunting is here in the Ozarks.</p><p>In this episode you'll hear stories from Ray's hunts with legendary hunters, why he loves the Ozarks above all other turkey hunting havens, and even learn how to do a proper gobbler yelp, which Ray admits to using 90% of the time over a hen yelp.

<p>Turkey hunting tactics with the greatest natural voice caller of all time = the legend, Ralph Duren. He's been on Jay Leno, CBS Tonight, ESPN and countless other TV shows for his insanely real voice calls and has been educating people across the country and throughout the Ozarks for decades. His calls are entertaining but, more importantly, they're effective! Ralph has been hunting and killing turkeys since they opened the season in Missouri in the 1960s.</p><p>In this episode you'll learn how to key in on and take advantage turkey reproduction habits, Ralph's tactics for finding birds in the big timber woods of the Ozarks, and you'll get to hear a few of his 135 distinct animal sounds!

<p>We got to go visit 'Zany' the mama bear and her 5lb male bear cub in the Ozark National Forest! We joined bear biologist, Myron Means of Arkansas Game &amp; Fish Commission and his team of biologists and veterinarians on one of their den site visits where they monitor the reproduction rates of 60 female black bears in the state.</p><p>In this episode, Myron explains what they're doing and why this work is important to do each year as we're about to approach the bear's den! He also explains how this particular day was the very 1st time in the history of the universe this sedative was used on a denned bear! Cool stuff. Make sure you share this one with your hunting buddy!</p><p>If you want to learn more about black bears in Arkansas, go back to Episode 43 to hear our full interview with Myron.</p><p>The Ozark podcast sits down with men and women from the Ozarks who have a passion for the outdoors.
