Old Friends
August 19, 2024
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 our 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 weeks 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 outdoors 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 and fishing as well as all of life are hard and seemingly unfair at times.
For most of us that 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 trophy animals for a young lady. This young lady faced an early death and God pulled her through. She was told that she would never play competitive sports, but she not only played, but she also thrived as a basketball player. God has blessed this young lady 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 the 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 for what we would like to do someday in our lives. We desire things, some things that are selfish, and some that 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, it’s then that God fulfills our dreams. It’s then that we see our dreams come true.

Every one of us at some time in our lives believes that we are facing something that is far too big to overcome. All too often we use these things as crutches to not have to face 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 will meet a man that learned to cuss as a little boy working with the field works 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 coming out into civilization. Some areas you could be attacked by wolves before you ever made it out. To leave a boy in the wilds in these areas 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 into 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.

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 (Micah Hulce, Rob Knauf, Curt Knauf and Shorty Scheidegger) 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 the bad and ugly parts of life to good.

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 on 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 many that 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 chasing moose on the lakes and in 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 to tight for today’s show it’s a fast and bumpy and sometimes 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. We started out today’s program with great intentions of sharing some very funny fishing stories and we got 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.
