  • Train and Prepare: Raising Respectful Dogs & Surviving Tornado Season

    Train and Prepare: Raising Respectful Dogs & Surviving Tornado Season
    Jul 5 2025

    In this episode, we dive into two topics that might just save you stress—or even your life.

    Dog Training: Why a “Growl” Speaks Louder Than Words

    First, we explore the importance of putting a "handle" on your dog or puppy at a young age. Discover how using a natural, mother-like growl can teach respect, set boundaries, and prevent long-term behavioral issues—without yelling or punishment.

    Setting Boundaries Early with Your Dog or Puppy

    Putting a “handle” on your dog or puppy at an early age is critical for establishing authority and structure. A dog that respects boundaries grows into a confident, balanced companion.

    Why a Growl Works

    Using a low, natural growl as a correction tool mimics the way a mother dog disciplines her pups. It’s instinctual, effective, and avoids yelling or physical punishment.

    • Growling is a natural, recognizable tone for dogs.

    • It grabs attention and commands respect without fear.

    • This technique works best when started young, alongside leash work inside the home.

    Tornado Season 2025: Camping, Shelters & Staying Safe Tornado Activity Is Surging in 2025

    Next we shift focus to Tornado Season 2025, which is already more intense than 2024. With 1,296 tornado reports as of June—well above the historical average—we break down what every family or camping group needs to know. From finding shelter at campgrounds (or lack thereof) to understanding the difference between a Tornado Watch and Warning, this is a must-listen for anyone traveling, camping, or living in storm-prone areas.

    Notable Trends:

    • Iowa: 100 tornadoes in June 2024 → only 16 in June 2025.

    • North Dakota: 2 tornadoes in June 2024 → 34 in June 2025.

    Whether you're raising a pup or planning your next outdoor trip, this episode brings practical tips and critical awareness together in one powerful conversation.

  • Wildlife, Warnings & Young Innovators: From Texas Skies to Gen Z Skills and Eco-Friendly Fishing

    Wildlife, Warnings & Young Innovators: From Texas Skies to Gen Z Skills and Eco-Friendly Fishing
    Jun 21 2025
    Texas is turning to helicopters to manage invasive aoudad sheep, what’s behind a surge in moose attacks in Colorado, and one youth figured out how to turn biodegradable fishing lures into a business plus how Gen Z are taking Adulting classes. 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! Season 5, Episode 242 Aerial Hunting, Moose Dangers, Life Lessons, and a Teen’s Green Fishing Breakthrough Texas Takes to the Skies to Manage Invasive Aoudad Texas is stepping up its wildlife management game — from the sky. Starting September 1, hunters will be allowed to shoot aoudad, also known as Barbary sheep, from helicopters, thanks to Senate Bill 1245, signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott. Originally from North Africa, aoudad were brought to Texas in the 1950s and have since exploded in number — with over 30,000 now roaming the state. They're hardy, fast-breeding, and tough on the environment, competing with native species like mule deer and bighorn sheep, damaging fragile desert ecosystems, and even spreading disease to commercial herds. The bill adds aoudad to the state’s aerial wildlife management program, which already includes feral hogs and coyotes. Officials hope helicopter hunting — a method that helped reduce hog numbers by over 30% — can also bring the aoudad population under control. While they’re a problem for landowners and wildlife managers, aoudad remain a popular big game target for hunters. Texas has no closed season or bag limit for them — just bring a valid hunting license and be ready for a challenge, whether on foot or from above.

From late May to mid-June, cow moose become highly protective of their young and more likely to charge if they feel threatened, especially by dogs. In just over a week, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) responded to four separate attacks involving mother moose and nearby people or pets. In one case, a cow moose trampled two dogs and forced a man to dive under a car. In another, two women were charged and stomped while walking off-leash dogs — they only escaped by climbing onto a roof, and a neighbor used a fire extinguisher to drive the moose off. Even leashed dogs don’t guarantee safety. In Grand County, Colorado, a woman was seriously hurt when a cow moose charged her and her dog; her boyfriend shot the moose in self-defense. Wildlife officers later had to euthanize the orphaned calf, fearing it would become too dependent on humans. In the most recent incident, a woman in Steamboat Springs was attacked while walking her dogs. A bystander tried to help — and got kicked for his trouble. The injured woman was airlifted to the hospital, and the cow and its two calves were later relocated. CPW says moose see dogs as predators and react aggressively to protect their calves. They're urging outdoor enthusiasts to keep pets leashed, avoid thick brush where calves may be hiding, and give moose a wide berth if spotted. While moose attacks remain rare, growing moose and human populations mean encounters are becoming more likely. So if you're hiking in moose country this time of year, stay alert, leash your dog, and let these massive mammals raise their young in peace.

Forget it. High schoolers and college students across the U.S. are now signing up for “Adulting 101” — crash courses in how to do laundry, budget for rent, or cook something besides ramen.New York teen Zack Leitner put it this way: “Until the 1960s, students learned how to cook, clean, and sew. In 2025, we’re lucky if they know how to do their laundry.” Psychologist Jean Twenge points to overprotective parenting and a trend of young adults living longer at home. She says today’s 20-somethings are arriving at adulthood with empty toolboxes — not because they’re lazy, but because no one taught them the basics.So while schools are starting to step in, experts say these basic life skills should be taught way earlier. Because whether it’s interest rates or ironing a shirt — ignorance isn’t bliss. It’s expensive…. Lastly, if you have a chance - research Financial Literacy, it is a topic more should be talking about in our opinion!
