About Sportsman of Colorado Radio Show

Sportsman of Colorado Radio Show is a locally rooted outdoor program focused on Colorado hunting, fishing, shooting sports, gear, and wildlife management. It has the shape of a Saturday radio hour. The show often opens with reminders about KLZ 560 airtimes, sponsor stops, and where to find the podcast, then moves into conversations with gun shops, conservation groups, expo organizers, and outdoor businesses. Scott Watley anchors the episodes with an easy, familiar radio cadence. The useful texture comes from the guests. LT Arms segments bring in Brandon Anderson, Evan Lee, Kyle Williams, and others for practical firearm talk, including rifle bedding, custom builds, recoil reduction, optics, bluing, chambering, barrel choices, and the habit of confirming a rifle before a hunt. Expo episodes focus on the Mile High Hunt and Fish Expo, including its move from the Gaylord Rockies to the National Western Center, expanded floor space, vendors, outfitters, gear companies, and the social energy around the event. Policy-heavy episodes feature Dan Gates and Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management. Those conversations are more urgent. They cover legislative sessions, Parks and Wildlife Commission activity, ballot measures, hunting and trapping rights, fur-sale restrictions, live bait debates, and organized opposition to regulated hunting and fishing. The Colorado Wildlife Council also appears as a new partner and subject of explanation, with Brian Gwynn introduced in that context. Other episodes bring in the Greater Denver Chapter of Pheasants Forever, Big Horn Firearms, Freedom Service Dogs, Hometown Hero Outdoors, Green Mountain Guns, Shoot Indoors Buckley, and outdoor retailers tied into the Colorado scene. The show is not polished magazine storytelling. It is closer to a local hub: addresses, promo codes, banquets, booths, events, product conversations, and community relationships all sit beside hunting politics. That makes it especially useful for Colorado sportsmen and women who want to keep track of where to shop, what to attend, who is organizing, and which wildlife issues are moving through the state.

Made for: This show is for Colorado hunters, anglers, shooting-sports regulars, and outdoor gear buyers who want local information more than broad lifestyle chat. It also fits listeners tracking wildlife policy, expos, conservation groups, and firearm businesses around the state.

What sets it apart: The show blends practical gear talk with Colorado-specific outdoor advocacy and event coverage. Its strength is locality: named shops, expos, councils, chapters, venues, and recurring guests tied to the state’s hunting and fishing community.
