Holiday Decorations That Could Be Dangerous to Pets
Know Your Decorations To Save Pet Lives
New York Post says holiday plants like mistletoe, poinsettias, and lilies are toxic if ingested by pets. If ingested, pets will usually start drooling and running to the bathroom. Mistletoe berries can be deadly. Dr Carol Osborne says the berries can cause immediate heart attacks in dogs. Vets warn that amaryllis, balsam, pine, cedar, and holly are also harmful to pets.
Unique Secret Santa and White Elephant Gift Ideas
Easy Budget Friendly Gift Ideas
A new survey by Angus County World reveals that 55% of people feel anxious about participating in a Secret Santa gift exchange at work. Other findings:
- 27% of people dread selecting a gift for a colleague
- 20% of people worry their gift won't be appreciated
- 14% of people feel pressure to spend more money than they can afford on a gift.
SOLUTION: Gift Baskets!! Create your own!
Throughout the year or last minute, gift baskets are the way to go
Personalize: Pick a theme. For example: local microbrews, snacks and a funny towel.
Fun: Creative or Not - It's easy! Shop thrift stores, dollar stores. Unique items and keep an open mind.
For example, this year's Secret Santa we need to bring a gift for Tigger's niece & new husband. What are we giving??? We have put together within the budget several cans and bottles of microbrews from our state paired with local snacks! YUM!!
Have fun, laugh and don't sweat the gift giving!

Learn why to buy Sporting Goods now for Christmas gifts & future adventures, shop local & begin planning big game hunts. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger’ Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with The Bend Radio Show & Podcast, your news outlet for the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News!
Why Now Is the Best Time to Buy Sporting Goods for Christmas Gifts
The holiday season is approaching, and it’s time to start thinking about the perfect Christmas gifts. Sporting goods make fantastic gifts for adventurers, or anyone who loves the outdoors. With great deals available now, you can give meaningful gifts while saving money. Plus, shopping early ensures you’ll have plenty of time to find exactly what you need without stress. Focus on the activities that are not in season for the BEST deals. Stores are wanting to move inventory to make room for the 2025 models.
Top Sporting Goods to Buy for Christmas Gifts
Whether it's for someone who loves hunting, hiking, or the outdoors in general, sporting goods are always in high demand during the holidays. Some of the top items to consider include:
Camping Gear: Tents, sleeping bags, backpacks, and portable stoves make excellent gifts for outdoor enthusiasts. Look for durable, high-quality brands that will last for years of adventures.
Hunting Accessories: Rifles, scopes, binoculars, and other hunting accessories are always in demand. If you know someone who loves to hunt, now is the time to find great deals.
Cycling Gear: Bicycles, helmets, and accessories like lights and storage solutions are great gifts for anyone who enjoys cycling or commuting by bike.
Golf Clubs: Know a golfer dreaming of a new putter, driver or golf bag, watch for steep deals to save money.
Football: Have football players in the house? Buy the cleats, gloves now and save for next season to save money!
How to Save Money on Sporting Goods Gifts
Take advantage of sales like Cyber Monday, holiday discounts and year-end closeouts. Many sporting goods retailers offer significant markdowns on popular items to make room for new inventory after the New Year. If you plan ahead, you can score big savings while ensuring you’ve picked out the perfect gear for your loved ones.
Why You Should Plan Now for Your 2025 Elk Hunt
Looking ahead to the next big adventure? Planning for an elk hunt in 2025 may seem far away, but getting ready now can help you secure the best gear, permits, and experience. Here’s why early preparation matters:
Securing Your Elk Hunting Permit Early
Elk hunting permits can be competitive, especially in popular hunting regions. MANY states have a lottery system, and applying early increases your chances of getting the coveted tags. Starting your preparations now ensures you’re ready when the time comes to submit your application.
Colorado Elk Hunting: 2025
In 2025, Colorado will implement a number of changes to elk hunting, including a draw system for tags and a reduction in nonresident hunting opportunities:
Draw system
Hunters will need to apply for tags by a deadline, and tags will be allocated through a lottery. This change is intended to manage hunter numbers and elk populations, and improve the overall hunting experience.
Nonresident archery elk tags
Over-the-counter (OTC) archery elk tags for nonresidents will no longer be available. Nonresidents will need to apply for tags in the annual draw. This change is due to concerns about overcrowding, as Colorado has historically offered the most nonresident elk hunting opportunities in the West.
Shop Local: Craft & Vendor Shows
Supporting local businesses by attending craft fairs or vendor shows has many benefits, especially when it comes to the holidays and sporting goods. Not only do you support your local economy, but you also gain access to personalized service and expert advice.
Supporting Your Community and Local Economy
Buying local helps your community thrive!
At a recent Craft / Vendor Show we were surprised to learn of a new winery only 30 minutes from our home! This new knowledge has us already excited for a Wine Tasting Adventure in the near future plus we were able to grab several bottles of wine that make perfect gifts during the holidays!
Shopping local ensures that small businesses can continue to offer jobs and services that benefit everyone. Plus, your purchase might come with the bonus of knowing exactly where the product came from and who you're supporting.
BUY THIS "Solo Stove" - But ask first for Price Match
Remember that many businesses understand having to be Price Competitive. Do not be afraid to ask if "Price Matching" is done.
Example: Find the make model of the Solo Stove you are wanting on SoloStove.com and then show a Sales Associate at the store you are shopping. It's worth the ask!
Note: Solo Stove is NOT a sponsor at the time this post was published, we do enjoy the Solo Stove we purchased and are happy with the fast igniting.

You can also use cheesecloth to wrap the turkey. The pillowcase or cheesecloth is soaked with a mixture of butter, wine, and chicken broth to ensure the turkey stays moist. After roasting and basting the wrapped turkey, you remove the pillowcase and finish the bird in a hot oven to crisp up the bacon and skin.

Smart Taxidermy Tips: Dos & Don'ts for Preparing Your Trophy Animal to become a mount that is a beautiful work of art. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger’ Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with The Bend Radio Show & Podcast, your news outlet for the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News!
Episode 211 Details
Why Proper Preparation Matters for Trophy Taxidermy
Harvesting that long sought after animal is one thing, but then moving forward to prepare it for taxidermy takes consideration. The hunt, the details of the memory, are all important in telling the story of that trophy animal and preserving it as a work of art. Before going hunting, these are added thoughts that need to be remembered prior to and after taking down that animal. Meet Jake Faehnrich, owner and taxidermist at JB's Wildlife Designs located in Mandan, North Dakota who offers tips to preserve your trophy of a lifetime.
Don’t: Cut Corners on Field Care
Common Mistakes That Can Ruin Your Trophy’s Quality
Gutting: Understanding how "WHERE TO" and "WHERE NOT" to cut up when getting towards the neck.
Skinning: Leaving enough of the hide for the type of mount wanted, you can never leave too much.
Dull Knives: Sharp knives are key and we recommend Outdoor Edge Knives for their quick replaceable sharp blades.
Cooling Head & Hide: Moisture is important, one does not want the hide or head to lose moisture and for preserving needs to be cooled as quickly as possible.
Time: Try to have your animal to the taxidermist within 24 hours. If that is not possible, freeze until delivery. We cape out our deer with the entire hide still intact to the head. The cape is then folded and rolled up under the deer head, and placed into a garbage page tied securely around the base of the antler. Be care to not bend or manipulate the ears in an unnatural state.
Do: Communicate Clearly with Your Taxidermist & Understand Expectations
Research: Evaluate taxidermists work prior to hunting in order to be prepared.
Time: Are you okay with the expected time of delivery of your mount? It is not uncommon for taxidermy to take 1-2 years turn around.
Vision: Mounting style, pose, habitat, position of the deer looking to the ear placement including specific details. Providing an example of a well-liked mount is often very helpful.
Cost: Taxidermy can be very expensive. It is common when dropping off your animal to make a deposit that can be as much as half the price of the mount or more. Be prepared, and understand the Terms & Conditions.
Ensure a Trophy Mount Worthy of Your Hunt
There are hundreds of reasons to have an animal preserved with taxidermy. Is it your personal best, a hunt of a lifetime, your first ever? There are no wrong answers, only what makes this memory extra special.

Turn Phone Into a Ballistic Trajectory Hunting Gadget
Ballistic Trajectory has many variables... our nephew, Bleu Wanner, came up with this idea for quick access to that important information needed to make a successful long range shot.

Using your phone, simply Google “Ballistic Calculator” and select a tool that allows you to input details like caliber, bullet grain, zero range (e.g., 200 yards), temperature, and elevation.
Step 2 – Save the Chart
Once the calculator generates the trajectory chart, take a screenshot.
Step 3 – Set it as Your Screensaver
This is a big hack! Set the chart as your phone’s screensaver. This way, you can simply tap your phone and instantly see your trajectory information without even unlocking the screen.

Renting eBikes at National Parks, especially in stunning places like Zion National Park in Utah, is becoming increasingly popular. From freedom and flexibility to the eco-friendly benefits, here’s why eBikes are the best way to explore National Parks while enjoying breathtaking views. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger’ Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with The Bend Radio Show & Podcast, your news outlet for the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News!
Episode 209 Details
The Freedom of Renting eBikes: Stay in the Moment
When you rent an eBike in Zion National Park, you gain a sense of freedom that you won’t experience with cars or shuttles. On a recent girls' trip with women aged 20-51, we discovered how eBikes allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of the park. We could stop anywhere, park easily, and truly be in the moment, soaking in the views.
Effortless Adventure for All Ages: eBikes Are Easy to Handle
Whether you’re 20 or 50, eBikes are incredibly user-friendly. Our group of four women found that riding eBikes in Zion National Park was both empowering and fun, regardless of experience levels. The electric assist helped us tackle uphill routes and cover more ground with minimal effort.
Why eBikes Are the Best Way to See Zion National Park
One of the reasons Zion National Park is so perfect for eBikes is its vastness and natural beauty. eBikes allow you to explore every corner of the park, from the scenic Pa’rus Trail to off-the-beaten-path areas that cars can’t reach. With fewer restrictions on where you can go and park, eBikes give you access to the hidden gems of Zion, making your experience even richer.
Eco-Friendly and Convenient: A Greener Way to Travel Through National Parks
National Parks like Zion are becoming more eco-conscious by reducing traffic and promoting greener transportation. By renting an eBike, you’re helping preserve the environment. eBikes not only allow you to explore Zion National Park in an environmentally friendly way, but they also offer convenience. You don’t have to worry about parking since eBikes allow you to pull over at any spot, giving you more flexibility.
Where to Rent eBikes for Zion National Park: Zion Guru in Springdale, Utah
For our girls’ trip to Zion, we rented eBikes from Zion Guru in Springdale, Utah. Their service was top-notch, and they made sure we were confident before hitting the park. Zion Guru offers eBikes that are comfortable and perfect for cruising through the park with ease. Plus, their location near the park entrance makes renting hassle-free.
Zion Guru Contact Information:
Website: zionguru.com
Phone: (435) 632-0432
Address: 792 Zion Park Blvd, Springdale, UT 84767
Plan Your Next Adventure: Why You Should Choose eBikes for Your National Park Trip
If you’re planning a trip to Zion or any other national park, renting eBikes is the way to go. You’ll experience more of what the park has to offer, enjoy the freedom to stop anywhere, and make your adventure one to remember. For our trip, the convenience, ease, and fun of using eBikes made it one of the best experiences we’ve had exploring Zion.
Final Thoughts: Why Renting eBikes Enhances Your Zion National Park Experience
From flexibility and ease to eco-friendly travel, eBikes offer a unique way to explore Zion National Park. On our recent trip, eBikes gave us the freedom to see everything at our own pace. Whether you’re visiting with friends or family, renting an eBike will ensure your Zion adventure is unforgettable.

How To Build Strong Relationships with Landowners for Hunting Access
Building a strong relationship with landowners is key to accessing private land for hunting. Many hunters face challenges finding new hunting spots, but with the right approach, securing access can be made easier. Establishing trust, showing respect, and maintaining open communication with landowners are vital steps in building long-term relationships. We (Tigger & BEC, Jeff Erhardt & Rebecca Wanner) are both landowners, hunters, and outdoorsmen that believe strongly in wildlife conservation can blend well with agriculture. Starting off on the "right foot" to build that positive relationship is the key!
Key Tips for Success To Gain Hunting Access
Research and Approach Landowners with Respect Before approaching a landowner, do your research. Understand their land and its boundaries. When meeting, be polite and respectful—first impressions are crucial. Avoid being overly pushy, as you’re more likely to gain access if you approach them as a neighbor and fellow steward of the land.
Show Appreciation for Their Property Demonstrating respect for the land is one of the most effective ways to gain and keep hunting access. Offer to help with property maintenance, such as repairing fences or inquiring how you might help. Small gestures go a long way in establishing trust and showing that you value the landowner's property.
Offer to Share the Harvest
When you do gain access, offering to share part of your game with the landowner is a great way to show appreciation. Whether it’s a portion of your deer, elk, or pheasant, this thoughtful gesture can turn a one-time hunt into an ongoing opportunity.
Maintain Open Communication Throughout the Season
Set Clear Boundaries and Expectations Once you’ve gained permission, be clear about when and where you’ll be hunting. Check in regularly with the landowner to ensure you are following their rules and respecting any changes they may have made. This builds trust and ensures both parties feel comfortable with the arrangement.
Express Gratitude and Keep in Touch After the hunting season, send a thank-you note or a small token of appreciation to the landowner. Keeping in touch year-round, not just during hunting season, shows that you value the relationship beyond the hunting benefits.
Why Strong Relationships with Landowners Matter
Securing private land access provides unique hunting opportunities that aren’t available on public lands. Private lands often have more diverse wildlife and fewer hunters, making for a more rewarding experience. Building strong relationships with landowners not only benefits hunters but also helps landowners maintain and protect their property.
Additional Benefits of Developing Good Landowner Relations
Long-term Hunting Opportunities: Establishing a good relationship can lead to repeated hunting access for years to come.
Exclusive Hunting Rights: Some landowners may offer exclusive access to hunters they trust, giving you a prime hunting spot with less competition.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hunting Access on Private Land
Do Landowners Require a Fee for Hunting Access?
Some landowners may request a small fee or require you to sign a liability waiver. Always discuss these terms upfront to avoid any confusion.
What Should I Avoid When Approaching a Landowner?
Avoid approaching landowners during busy times, such as harvest season. Be patient and polite, and avoid making demands or rushing the conversation.
Conclusion: Build Positive Relationships for Future Hunting Success
Building strong, positive relationships with landowners is essential for gaining and maintaining access to private hunting land. By showing respect, offering help, and expressing gratitude, you can develop lasting partnerships that benefit both you and the landowner. Taking these steps not only helps you find new hunting opportunities but also strengthens local land conservation efforts.

Backpacking Food: What To Know
For everyone who’s dreamt of packing into the backcountry from just wanting to hike, camp, fish, or hunt. Keeping that pack light, yet filling it with food that will keep energy up while not taking up space or adding weight can be a tricky feat. BEC dives into simple, basic tips to survive that first trip. The key is to begin planning now, weeks before you head out on that trip. It’s always tempting to head online and purchase pre-packaged meals, and freeze-dried foods that claim to taste great, weigh almost nothing while the ratio of carbs or protein is needed for physical activity. The oversight comes when not having tried them first at home!
Happy Stomach, Happy Trip
Adding in miles of physical activity first off we know often causes the body not just to burn up calories fast, but also can accelerate the process of digesting food and the need for #2 quickly (yup, we’re talking poop)!! Before being stuck on the trail with food that might be healthy but doesn’t necessarily agree with your stomach right off the bat, you’ll want to start adjusting your diet now and trying these tips BEC offers in this episode!
Most Important Tip: Try ALL foods at home well before the Trip, Adventure or Hike!
Saving Backpack Weight
The pack gets heavy fast, and especially when needing to stay hydrated too. Think of food that can be consumed, the wrapping can be burned or easily packed out and keep your energy intact. Believe BEC, it is not as easy as it sounds yet it can BE EASY to do with a little preparation and DIY R&D (aka research & development). We’re telling you, TRY everything you have before you pack your ride to head out to the backcountry. BEC was raised on a large ranch, has been a certified trail guide, packed in and elk hunted the backcountry. She is seasoned on what to know, but as one “never knows what’s truly around the bend” believes strongly you can never over-prepare. Do not make planning a headache either, have fun and make it a family adventure so that even if loved ones cannot join on this adventure they will still feel as thou they are part of the excitement!
Easy Dessert Tip: Oven or Dutch Oven Approved!
Fun, Easy Soda Pop Desserts
Desserts ANYONE can make…
Have you seen Soda Pop desserts on TikTok? Using Soda Pop, and Forget the water. TikTok creators like @jordan_the_stallion8, have been testing out the trend. Instead Mixing a ¼ cup of Dr. Pepper soda pop to a boxed brownie mix and an egg, bake like usual and you’ve got Pop Brownies…
Well BEC (Rebecca Wanner) hates to bust the bubble on this so-called “NEW TREND”! Our cabin master of the Dutch Oven, aka Tigger (Jeff Erhardt), has been using soda or pop in his cakes for years when cooking over the fire! Tigger makes amazing desserts by simply melting butter on the bottom of a hot Dutch oven, adding the dry cake mix and pouring over the top a can of soda or pop, covering with the lid, and setting on the hot embers or coals. Don’t forget to add those hot embers/coals on top of the lid too!!
Want a cobbler?? Toss in a can of your favorite canned fruit canned pie filling and BOOM – You have a Dutch Oven Cobbler! Tigger isn’t the only one making delicious desserts using a can of soda pop. Head to TheBendShow.com for our good friend, Kent Rollins the Cowboy Chef and another lover of the Dutch Oven to grab his recipe and watch his easy “HOW TO” for an easy Old Fashioned Blackberry Cobbler.
Remember to have fun in your own kitchen or at the campfire creating fun easy food!

Relief Efforts Post-Hurricane Helene: Mountain Mules Deliver Aid & Beware: Customs Tax on Electronics in Mexico
Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts: Mountain Mules Bring Hope to Appalachia
In the wake of Hurricane Helene, a dedicated team of volunteers, including the Cajun Navy 2016 from Watson, Louisiana, and Mountain Mule Packer Ranch in Mount Ulla, North Carolina, is providing crucial aid to the mountains of Western North Carolina.
Challenges in the Aftermath
Hurricane Helene left many areas inaccessibly devastated, with washed-out roads and power outages complicating relief efforts. Helicopters and C-17 aircraft from FEMA have helped, but some communities remain unreachable except by mule.
The Role of Mountain Mules
The mules are invaluable for delivering essential supplies to remote mountain communities. Known for their ability to navigate challenging terrains, these "beasts of burden" mules are not only reliable but also carry a legacy of service.
Community Requests for Assistance
Despite limited communication, locals have been reaching out for help via social media, sharing their urgent needs. Requests for insulin and other medical supplies highlight the dire situations many families face. As there is no power either in these locations, locals are hiking to higher elevations in order to send assistance request messages.
Collaborative Relief Efforts
On-site in Montreat, North Carolina, the Mountain Mule Packer Ranch team coordinated with the Cajun Navy 2016, and are working tirelessly to deliver supplies to affected areas like Black Mountain, where flooding caused extensive damage.
Heartwarming Stories of Hope
These volunteers have made a significant impact, not just by delivering supplies but also by offering emotional support. One heartwarming incident involved helping a family whose home was lost, bringing them food, water, and even stuffed animals for their children.
Continuing Support and Updates
To facilitate ongoing relief, both the Mountain Mule Packer Ranch and Cajun Navy 2016 Facebook pages provide regular updates and ways to contribute including using the Venmo listed below.
Their resilience along with the affected communities shines through as they band together to support one another in these trying times.

Traveling To Mexico, Know This Customs Rule
Mexico Travelers Tax Enforced On Electronics
According to USA Today, Cancun International Airport is enforcing Mexican customs regulations that limit travelers to bringing only one portable computer, including laptops or tablets, without paying a tax. Travelers with more than one device face a tax of up to 19% of the device's value, capped at $4,000. The rule, which has been in place for years, is now being enforced more strictly. Some speculate this is to prevent resale or increase tax revenue from the influx of visitors. Unlike in the U.S., where no such limit exists, Mexican customs can confiscate extra devices if the tax is not paid. Travelers are advised to familiarize themselves with customs rules, as they also limit items like cameras and tobacco.
While making international travel plans, always know and understand the local rules and customs regulations.
Easy Halloween Costume For The Outdoors Person
Spirit Halloween stores say Beetlejuice, Deadpool and Wolverine costumes are this year's most popular adult Halloween costumes. Bluey and Sesame Street characters are popular for children.
Sasquatch Hunter: The Perfect Halloween Costume
The mythical, ape-like creature that is said to live in the forests of America offers up the ideal "hunter" Halloween costume. Child to Adult, consider dressing as a Sasquatch Hunter! This costume offers the ability to dress warm if weather turns cold and can be created using what is already at home making it an inexpensive outfit
How To Dress Like A Sasquatch Hunter
This outfit has been used now by two of our nephews and has been a huge hit each time! Be creative! Here is how this outfit has been assembled in our family.
Hunting Vest (new or old): Take a hunting boot, wet the bottom with mud or paint and STEP on the back of the vest to leave a "footprint". Works best if it is much larger than your own foot.
Add To The Vest: Sticks, Twigs, Grass, Antler shed that looks like poking through the vest for example. Be creative.
Wear: Under the vest wear a flannel shirt. On your feet, wear hiking boots or shoes.
Accessories: Elmer Fud otherwise known as a Kromer hat or the Yooper hat. A pair of binoculars around the neck. Carry a plastic toy hunting rifle or shotgun. REMEMBER be safe and use a "Toy Firearm" to finish off the outfit.
Remember to have fun! This outfit is the chance for you, and your child, to be creative while sticking with an Outdoors Theme! Have fun!!
