Oh, the amazing sound of an elk in the mountains! There are few sounds more beautiful, more majestic in God’s Great Outdoors. God filled the high places of this world with the most beautiful sights and sounds. The call of the elk and the screeching of a golden eagle as it floats on the updrafts of the Rocky Mountain peaks. There is something about those places.
On today’s program, we will climb to the highest peaks of the rockies in Wyoming. Well, at least our stories and experiences will come from that part of the country. We will join our host and his guest as they share elk hunting and elk camp stories from days gone by.

At a hunting lodge in the middle of central Michigan, a family gathers each year for two very special hunts. This family is not connected by human blood, but by something much stronger. A group of otherwise unconnected individuals are drawn for two reasons; to serve those who want to hunt and to share a special love for each one being served and for others.
Today’s program shares a little history of a few of those who come from quite a distance to serve. We’ll hear the stories of some of the special children who have come to this special place, Two Hats Ranch. For the last 25 years, the owners of Two Hats Ranch and Quest Ministries have offered these incredible deer hunts. For nearly 20 years there is an amazing family that has a “family reunion” of sorts. Each one has a very special bond with the others.

We all hope to one day live a comfortable life. Many work for 40+ years with the intent to have all we need financially and with health to be very comfortable. But what does it mean to be comfortable and are we really called to be comfortable in life? I would question if we are ever called to be comfortable spiritually.
Today’s guest will speak of the need to move out of our comfort zone and look for ways to do something that will change how we live life. He will explain it in terms of hunting dangerous game around the world and being in and out of his comfort zone.

Every one of us is born with a heart issue and today’s guest was born with both a spiritual and a physical condition. We will hear about his battle to stay alive and how God is using him despite his heart condition.
He has had more than one physical test as well as other tests over the last 6 to 8 years and you’ll hear him tell us that you can’t have a testimony if you don’t have a test. He will also share that if we don’t give up control and allow God to handle things, we will never have peace and joy.

There is something special about a relationship that has lasted over decades. Those friendships that may have been paused by miles or years seem even sweeter when they’ve been rekindled. Our Host, Dean Hulce, has been blessed with many friends all over the world. Today's guest started out as a hunting client for Dean 35 years ago. Many firsts were
shared between the two of them. Many species were hunted and harvested.
All of these hunting memories were revisited on this week's program along
with laughter and tears. Join us now as we head down the Trail To Adventure with old friends in God’s Great Outdoors! -
All outdoorsmen and women go through spans of time in their outdoor career where no matter what they do, things seem to go wrong. Fishermen have many stories of the one that got away and hunters can tell you of the ones they’ve missed. Hunting, fishing, and even life are hard and seemingly unfair at times.
For most of us who have been through these tough spells of shooting or setting the hook, there comes a time of redemption; A time that brings to an end the series of failures that we have dealt with for what seems like a long, long time.

From the farms and woods of Northern Michigan to the prairies of South
Dakota, today’s guest has taken many trophy animals for being such a young lady. She faced an early death and God pulled her through. She was told she would never play competitive sports and she not only played, but she also thrived as a basketball player. God has blessed her with some great trophies, and she is humble and gives Him the credit. She knows that it is only because of God’s favor that she has been able to not only fish, hunt, trap and play basketball, but just to be here at this time.
We hope that through today’s show you learn that listening to your guide,
whether it be in the outdoors, or in life, is the most important choice you can make. -
We all have dreams of what we would like to do someday in our lives. We desire things, some of which are selfish, and some are for God’s glory. If we are dreaming and fighting for those things that are what we want for ourselves, we are wasting our time and energy. It’s when our hearts align with God’s heart that He fulfills our dreams. It’s then that we see our dreams come true!

At some time in our lives, every one of us believes that we are facing something that is far too big to overcome. All too often we use these things as crutches to avoid facing the difficult things in life. We may say we’ll do whatever it takes to get past our struggles, but will we really do it?
On today’s show, we'll meet a man who learned to cuss as a little boy working in the peanut fields of Georgia. He faced obstacles and one day, after losing his mother, he decided from that day forward, he would not want to do anything that would have disappointed her.
God took this boy to great and beautiful places around north America… but more importantly, He took him on a life of spiritual adventure and victory!

In the wilds of far northern Ontario, there are places where a person could walk for many days without finding civilization. In some areas you could be attacked by wolves before you ever made it out. Leaving a boy in these wild places will certainly bring him closer to manhood in a hurry!
Around the world there are many different thoughts on when a boy becomes
a man or a girl becomes a woman. In Jewish tradition, this happens at 12
or 13 years of age… But does a ceremony and a party make a child an adult? It’s been said that a boy becomes a man when he learns that he is not the most important person in his life. This is the story on
today’s program! -
There are few places easier to share the things we are each facing in life than a fishing or hunting camp. Our personal guards are let down and we can easily talk about the good, the bad and the ugly in our
lives.
On today’s show, we sit at a round table discussion about turkey hunting at our annual God’s Great Outdoors Wisconsin Turkey Hunt. Our host is joined by 4 of his turkey hunting buddies in a western Wisconsin hunting camp. We’ll hear discussions of calling turkeys as well as successes and failures in the turkey woods. We will also look at the struggles and failures we all face in our everyday lives and how a relationship with Jesus Christ can turn the bad and ugly parts of life into good ones! -
Many of us feel like we have no idea what it would be like to have an addiction. We look on and think, “that’s what the alcoholic or drug user deals with." Today’s guest does a good job of describing what it is like to have an addiction… He says, “Think about putting your phone away for a week or two with no contact with it”. It makes you think.
What is the first thing you reach for when you wake up? What is it that you do when you have a little free time most days? I think that if we are honest we all have had or now have an addiction of some kind in our lives. What we learn today is that overcoming is a hard process and it takes more than worldly programs. It take the Lord and strong Christian men and women around you to get through the hard times.

For those who have lived a sheltered life, today’s show will likely be eye opening. The story of a man raised in conservative teachings to a life of crime and a return to the teachings of his youth.
One of the best known stories of the Bible is the “Prodigal Son”… Today’s guest lived it out. We’ll hear stories of chasing moose on the lakes of the northern bush of Canada, to police chases, and chasing cows for competition. We cover two countries and many stops along the way. It’s a great story of what the power of God can do in a life, when he’s invited in.
Hold on tight for today’s show! it’s a fast, bumpy, and surprising ride in and out of God’s Great Outdoors… A true journey down the trail to many adventures!

Sometimes God uses the most common people in the most uncommon ways. Today’s guest was just such a person and used in just such a way by God. Today’s program starts with great intentions of sharing some very funny fishing stories and quickly gets sidetracked into the history and God workings in a most amazing way.
Our guest looks very familiar to many and once you hear the program, you’ll understand why. Over and over again you will hear, “God is doing something here,” and He was. This is one of our favorite programs and the radio portion doesn’t have a lot of what we would characterize as outdoor activity, but the story of what God did in a small town is well worth the listen. Don’t miss the podcast to get the rest of the story!

Life can be going along smoothly one minute and the next we can be
facing death right in the eye. Today’s guests recently came face to face with death and faced it with peace and trust in God. What looked like certain disaster turned to a joyful opportunity to praise God for His unwavering love for his
children. Some of our listeners have faced terrible circumstances in the past or
are facing them right now. Today’s program will give you hope and joy in the midst of trying times. Come along now and share in the story of an elk hunt gone bad! -
In many times of hunting, using calls is a big part of the hunt. Calling game is a great way to be successful. You and I all have a calling on our lives. Sometimes that calling might change in one season of life to the next, But know that God does have a
calling for you and He is preparing you to live that calling out. Today’s guest thought he was going to become a professional fisherman. He thought that was his calling in life. He soon realized that God was
preparing him for something much different, a much higher calling. If you question God’s calling on your life, listen carefully… not just to this program, but to God Himself as He directs you in the time you have left on earth… If you are listening today here on earth... that means you still have a calling. -
For men in our world, there aren't many things more important than the relationships between a father and his son. All too often we are drawn away by the demands of the world on our time and efforts.
On today’s Trail To Adventure in God’s Great Outdoors, we will hear from a pastor and his father-in-law about how God used God’s Great Outdoors and Gerry Caillouet many years ago to make a difference not only in these two men’s lives but through many hundreds of men over nearly 20 years.
The Bible tells us that “Iron sharpens Iron” and there aren't many places that it works better than in a hunting or fishing camp or a fishing boat. We’ll hear how that plays out on today’s program.

God changes men’s hearts all the time and yet as Christians, we often see someone that seems to have everything in place in their lives and we question if they could make a choice to follow Jesus.
Today’s guest seemed to have it all: Great job, owner of a great company, freedom to do whatever he wanted to do. Yet, he had a hole in his life. Then one day, he heard about a man named Jesus who allowed Himself to be hung on the cross just for him.
Today, that same outdoorsman who seemed to have everything, left it all behind and went to work sharing the gospel at a Cowboy Church in the cattle country of South Texas. Enjoy!

If you were one of the top winning fishermen of all time as well as someone who was on national TV for several decades, it might be easy to show a little pride in yourself. However, today’s guest is just that fisherman… but you’ll see he is a humble man who gives the credit to God for all those things he’s been blessed with.
Life has gotten so busy and noisy and you’ll hear about the necessity of slowing down, being still and resting on the Lord. The generations of today rarely take the opportunity to be still, and it is something that we need to do. -
Sometimes God brings His children together in the most unusual ways. Today’s guest saw the logoed God’s Great Outdoors truck in a hotel parking lot in Lafayette, Louisiana and the next day God placed our host and his guest at the side of the truck at the same time. Both of the men and their wives happened to be heading to North Houston the next day and they met up.
Our guest will share about his love for both the outdoors and the Lord. We will travel from the woods of Louisiana to hard streets of Houston where he and others are leading men and women to the Lord as they come out of rough lives of sin.
