What animals can you hunt during the hot summer months when many seasons are closed? Ken Marr and friends tackle this question through a lively summer trivia competition that reveals fascinating facts about year-round hunting opportunities.
Discover which state has the largest alligator population (hint: it's not Florida!), and learn about hook-and-line methods for catching these prehistoric predators. The team dives into wild hog populations across America, with Texas leading the pack at a staggering 3 million feral pigs. You might be surprised to learn that those "gophers" plaguing farmland are actually Richardson ground squirrels!
The conversation reveals little-known facts about coyote distribution across North America, exotic hunting opportunities like Argentina's legendary dove fields, and explores why the Giant Forest Hog—not the Russian boar—is the world's largest wild pig species. From the serious (wildlife management challenges) to the humorous (learning that a group of ravens is called a "conspiracy"), this episode provides both entertainment and education for hunters looking to extend their season.
Whether you're interested in predator control, pest management, or simply expanding your hunting knowledge beyond traditional big game seasons, this trivia-packed episode delivers insights that will change how you think about summer hunting opportunities. The competitive spirit between "Team Spectacles" and "Team Testicles" adds plenty of laughs along the way as they fight for podcast koozies and bragging rights.
