After a standing room only premiere of “The One” at The Bethel Inn this February, the film is now available on DVD. Sun Valley Sports in Bethel, Aardvark Outfitters in Farmington and the Maine Guide Fly Shop in Greenville are all retailing “The One”. It is available for sale on line by following this link.

Raised in the western mountains of Maine on the banks of the Androscoggin River and the village of Bethel, Carter Davidson is an avid fly fisherman, a producer of outdoor adventure television programs, documentaries and most recently executive producer of Gray Ghost Productions fly fishing film titled “The One.” Beginning in 2000, Carter first got his start with Maine PBS, producing and editing a long list of Emmy nominated magazine series and documentaries. Later, he traveled across the globe to locations such as New Zealand, France, Argentina, Chile, and British Columbia to film all sorts of outdoor adventures from extreme skiing, whitewater rafting and kayaking, skydiving, mountain biking and of course fly fishing. In 2007 Carter founded the video production company Gray Ghost Productions and began his search to film and capture the essence of fly fishing.

“Follow the dream team of Gray Ghost Production’s first adventure as they travel through New England, Patagonia and British Colombia in search of The One. Come explore the untouched terrain of Argentina with Michael Jones. Or hop in the jet boat for a wild ride hunting for steelheads. New England’s most prominent trout guru and director of the Green Meanie’s takes us into the back country of Maine and trophy brook trout water. Take a look back in time to rediscover the Rangeley lakes region and the famous trout flies originated in this area. Tag along with Luke Gray and Charlie Davidson as they hear the scream of the reel on some of New England’s large and small tributaries. Join these fly fishing junkies and their quest for, The One.”

I would like to thank Wolf Crossing for providing the link to the video below. You may enjoy being a part of a fly-over in the Clearwater River region of North Idaho in search of elk, which seem to be missing this year, along with an ever increasing number of gray wolves.

Yesterday, I attempted my first ever live broadcast of Open Air With Tom Remington. I didn’t think it was going to happen for most of the morning as it seemed I was having one technical failure after another but I finally pulled it off……as it was.

The show is a bit different than other shows in that there are no breaks for commercials or station IDs during the one-hour plus broadcast. I talked with John Stabley, V.P. of Global Operations for Skinny Moose Media, who is attending the Archery Trade Associations trade show in Indianapolis now through Saturday. He gives us an update on the show and how things are going for him.

Other highlights of the show include discussion of some of the continued budget problems at the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and an introduction to Bill Moore’s radio broadcast on a local Upper Peninsula sports radio station.

I also spend some time discussing the economic impact hunting, fishing and recreation has on this country with its millions of participants, yet never any mention of these topics with presidential candidates.

Plus a couple of surprises.

Below is the audio player where you can click and stream audio right now as you read more of the Black Bear Blog or just browsing about the Internet. And for those of you who may not have the time now, visit the Open Air download page and find every show that has been done. You can stream audio of each show now or download it to your media player and listen at your leisure.

Aubrey Olson came to Maine to participate in a moose hunt through Hunt of a Lifetime. Skinny Moose Media, LLC and U.S. Hunting Today are proud sponsors of the Hunt of a Lifetime organization. This moose hunting trip was hosted by Sebec Lake Lodge and our friends at Northwoods Adventures, Chris Cobbett and Nate Fenderson, along with all their staff. Chris Cobbett is a blogger for the Skinny Moose Media network as well as a contributing writer for U.S. Hunting Today. If you visit Chris’s blog, there you’ll find many of his videos of his hunting adventures across North America.

There is little that can compare to the thrill and excitement that participants in the Hunt of a Lifetime program experience. Aubrey Olson is just one of many kids who have been selected to participate. And one of the things that makes Hunt of a Lifetime so successful is the unselfish giving of individuals and businesses like Sebec Lake Lodge and Northwoods Adventures.

If you can, watch the videos below made by Northwoods Andventures TV and experience part of the giving, the excitement and a lifetime of memories that Aubrey and her Dad will share. The video is done in three segments. You can also find this video at Northwoods Adventures along with many of their other shows.

Thank you Nate and Chris and Sebec Lake Lodge for helping to make Aubrey’s life that much more fulfilled.

For those who may have missed Thursday’s broadcast of Open Air With Tom Remington, here’s you chance to listen now or download for later. We’ve provided you a play so you can stream the audio now and browse around while you listen.

Thursday’s show was interesting. I talked about the Sunday hunting debate starting in again in Pennsylvania, global warming and pay a tribute to the passing of Evel Knievel. I never knew that one of Evel’s first business ventures was owning and operating a outfitting business.

I also included a recording of a hip-hop, rap kind of a song called, “Mistah Man”. It’s a Maine humor recording that’s sure to keep you laughing. It does contain a few swear words and a couple graphic descriptions, so use your judgment.

Enjoy!

I’m extending an invitation to all readers to tune in at 3 p.m. today to Skinny Moose Radio and listen to a brand new broadcast of Open Air With Tom Remington. Once again the topics are varied but I think you’ll find them interesting. I will give you all a bit of a warning though. In the second segment of the show, I play a CD with some Maine humor on it. It’s called, “Mistah Man”. It’s done as a hip-hop rap kind of thing with some pretty serious Maine accents to go with it - they sound genuine too! You, know, wicked good! The warning comes because at times these guys use a few cuss words that probably aren’t suitable for family listening.

I give a short tribute to the late Evel Knievel, reveal some more interesting and disgusting events surrounding global warming. Of course the latest from Al Gore’s mouth is, “The earth has a fever!” Cute! And a visit to the doctor’s will cost us American’s billions of dollars.

And for those who thought they were over it, once again the subject of Sunday hunting is surfacing as Pennsylvania prepares for a debate again in this legislative session. I share some facts and figures about that debate as the remaining 10 states that ban Sunday hunting will be paying attention.

So join me today for all the fun and excitement. If you haven’t downloaded the Skinny Moose Media tool bar for your browser yet, it’s time (just click on the “download our free toolbar” link). The Skinny Moose Radio player is built right in. While you’re browsing you can listen in to several of our regular shows or to some of the great music we also play. Then, while listening, you can do your normal browsing.

And if you can’t tune in at 3 p.m. every Thursday, as always we make the shows available for you to listen to at any time.

Also included in this show are highlights of some pretty ridiculous things going on in the frightful world of global warming, more abuses of the Endangered Species Act and a look at the impact the Supreme Court will have on Americans by deciding to hear the case about the Washington, D.C. gun ban.

Because of demand, today we are going to do an encore presentation of last week’s show where I interviewed Dr. Rex Rammell. Dr. Rammell is seeking the republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat that will be vacated by outgoing Sen. Larry Craig. The show will air at 3 p.m.

Because this Thursday is Thanksgiving Day, the powers that be at Skinny Moose Media and Skinny Moose Radio (that would be Steven and I) have decided to air this week’s broadcast of Open Air With Tom Remington at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, November 21, 2007. Next week’s broadcast will return at its usual time.

On Wednesday, I interview Dr. Rex Rammell of Rexburg, Idaho. Dr. Rammell is campaigning for the Republican nomination for the soon to be vacated U.S. Senate seat currently held by the embattled Larry Craig. Rammell faces one other challenger in the republican party, Lt. Gov. Jim Risch.

This is an interview you don’t want to miss even if you are not a resident of Idaho as we discuss topics that will affect every citizen in this country. We discuss not only Mr. Rammell’s campaign but property rights, the Endangered Species Act and spend a great deal of time talking about the problems connected with wolves, wolf management and the reintroduction of wolves to the Yellowstone National Park area.

Much of what is happening in Idaho with the onslaught of lawsuits against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, abuse of the Endangered Species Act and the stripping of property rights, is happening all across America. Tune in and listen to what Dr. Rex Rammell has to say about what he promises to do if elected to the U.S. Senate.

If you are not able to tune in for the original broadcasts, as always all shows are available at the Skinny Moose Radio website for your listening pleasure. You can stream the audio there on the site or download it to your hard drive to be listened to at your leisure or for podcasting.
