The Adventures of a Former “DNR Czar”

Joel Kleefisch hosts a lively episode featuring Eric Loebner from Wisconsin's DNR and former Chief Warden Todd Schaller. They dive into outdoor adventures, wildlife management, and the joys of turkey hunting. Chef Lawton introduces a mouthwatering brunch dish—turkey toast with poached eggs, avocado, and pomegranate seeds. The discussion shifts to turkey camp cuisine, including a delectable turkey wild rice curry soup and venison-bacon burgers. The episode wraps up with a nod to supporting local Midwest eateries and a reminder of the outdoor wonders waiting to be celebrated. Additional technical support by Morris Original LLC.
