A Freezer Is Like A Diary of a Hunting Season, Filled With Stories Disguised As Meat

Welcome to Hunting & Fishing BC, my podcast about fishing, hunting and other wild pursuits in British Columbia and western Canada. I’m Robert Koopmans. I’ve hunted and fished in B.C. for more than 30 years, and come to love everything about this province and all it has to offer.

This will be the third year I’ve worked on this podcast, and I’ll admit it’s been hit and miss at times, with probably a lot more misses than hits along the way. It’s not an easy thing to do, but I’m giving it my best shot. 

This year, I’ve teamed up with Randy Nelson, a retired fisheries officer and a skilled hunter with a lot of wisdom and experience to share. We’re going to work our way through the coming months talking about a wide range of topics. We have lots of ideas for episodes, but we want to hear from you as well — what do you want to hear about? 

If there’s a specific topic you’re interested in, let us know, we’ll see what we can do. If nothing else, send us an email letting us know how we’re doing. It’s not easy podcasting in a vacuum, and a little feedback will help us stay on target… Reach us at [email protected] … 

Today Randy and I chat about what’s in our freezers. A full freezer is the ultimate goal of hunting, it’s why we are out there. But the wrapped packages of deer and moose are more than just meat — they are also memories of trips and experiences, so we decided to reminisce a bit and recount how our freezes got full, or in my case anyways, why it’s still empty…
