In this episode, Sheldon sits down with Cole Kilpatrick from Interlake Outdoors to talk about a life built around hunting, guiding, and everything in between. From chasing big Interlake elk to guiding clients for black bear and waterfowl, Cole shares stories that paint a clear picture of what it takes to make a living in the bush. The conversation touches on how he got his start in guiding, the long days and unpredictable moments that come with the job, and the lessons he’s learned from a lifetime outdoors. Cole opens up about what makes the Interlake region so unique, the people who shaped his journey, and how Manitoba’s hunting culture continues to evolve. Along the way, he reflects on his time spent in the whitetail woods and what keeps him passionate season after season. It’s an honest, down-to-earth talk between two outdoorsmen who live and breathe the lifestyle. From early mornings in the stand to long drives between camps, this episode captures the heart of guiding and the passion that fuels it.

On this episode of the Panoramic Outdoors podcast, we sit down with Dr. John Delony for an open and honest conversation about hunting, mental health, and the deep emotional connection people have with the outdoors. Dr. Delony brings his expertise as a mental health professional, author, and lifelong outdoorsman to explore how time in nature can help us manage stress, anxiety, and the everyday pressures of life. We talk about the mindset that comes with hunting—how it teaches patience, focus, and respect for the animals we pursue. The discussion takes a deeper turn as we look at the emotional side of taking an animal’s life, the weight that comes with it, and how to process that loss in a healthy and meaningful way. Dr. Delony shares insight on the importance of acknowledging those feelings rather than suppressing them, and how that honesty can actually strengthen our connection to the land, the hunt, and ourselves. From personal stories in the field to lessons about family, community, and purpose, this episode explores why so many people find peace and clarity in wild places. Whether you hunt, fish, or simply enjoy the quiet of being outside, this conversation is a reminder that the outdoors can be one of the most powerful tools for healing, growth, and connection.

In this powerful episode of the Panoramic Outdoors Podcast, Sheldon welcomes Mark Hall from Wild Origins Canada to take a hard look at the growing crisis surrounding moose populations in Manitoba. What begins as a broad conversation on moose biology and behaviour quickly focuses in on a serious and complex issue: the sharp decline in moose numbers across key areas of the province. Mark brings his years of experience in wildlife conservation and backcountry ecology to the table, helping unpack the layered challenges facing moose in Manitoba. Together, Sheldon and Mark discuss how habitat loss, increasing predation, and changing environmental conditions have collided with deeper social and political tensions around wildlife management. At the heart of the conversation is the evolving relationship between Indigenous communities and the provincial government. Mark and Sheldon explore how treaty rights, conservation priorities, and differing management philosophies are intersecting—sometimes clashing—as all parties try to protect what remains of Manitoba’s moose populations. It's a difficult but necessary conversation, and one that demands attention from anyone who cares about the future of wildlife in Canada. This episode doesn’t offer easy answers, but it does shine a light on the critical need for collaboration, respect for Indigenous knowledge systems, and science-based decision-making. Whether you’re a hunter, a conservationist, or someone who simply values the wild places of Manitoba, this episode will leave you with a lot to think about.

Whether you’re counting down the days to your own trip or just living vicariously through the Panoramic crew, this episode is sure to get you in the elk season mindset.And of course, no camp talk would be complete without revisiting the age-old debate: Sheldon’s undying love for smoking sticks... and Chance’s annual campaign to ban them.
