Podcast Episodes

In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, we dial-in with Dan Johnson from Sportsmen’s Empire. We kick things off by testing the tea bag coffee from Wildland Coffee and get into a chat about the various podcast styles and why we settled on the format that we did for this show. We’ve been friends with Dan for a while now; we like what he is doing and he likes what we are doing, so we decided to join forces–see what that’s going to look like moving forward. Is there another GoWild podcast in the works?

Dan questions what it really means to be an “expert” at something. He asks Brayden about his journey into becoming a fly angler and Brayden mentions his easiest and hardest parts of transitioning from bass fishing to fly fishing. Dan also talks about the challenge of having interviewed over 1,000 podcast guests and shares his experience from the recent Iowa Deer Classic tradeshow and what makes it one of the best. He recounts his glory days as a whitetail antler shed hunter and drops a bombshell bone-finding tip. He also gives us his no-fail, dummy-proof longbeard-flopping guide to killing turkeys.

Brayden set up his new rod and reel and is gearing up for a fly fishing trip with several GoWild members. He started with the Orvis Encounter rod/reel combo but is now scaling up to a DIY setup. Jacob paid off some of his marital debt to be able to join them on the trip! He also mentions his favorite flies to use this time of year.

Brad celebrated his daughter’s birthday and spent the weekend elbow deep in unicorns and rainbows. Dan mentioned how he got his young daughter a cell phone–and why he instantly regretted it! We’ve got several parents on the show today and get into the strangest, craziest, and wildest things our kids are saying and doing. Aside from these normal antics, what can we do as parents to help them with survival skills and other important life lessons?

If we are to rise above the chatter, tell our own story and know how to defend our way of life we have to be intentional and intellectual. TL Jones has blessed the hound hunting community for years with his short yet precise speculative writings that make us think and reflect on ourselves and upon that which we love; hunting with hounds.

TL Jones is at least a fourth generation bear hunter from the mountains of East Tennessee. His grandfather Berry Tarlton is a notable bear hunter and breeder of plott dogs. Berry resided in the Houston Valley near Greenville, TN and his strain of bear dogs is known as Houston Valley Plotts. That lineage has been passed down in the family and now TL and his son Ben carry on the family legacy.

TL joins Chris on this episode to have a deep discussion about hunting, the perception of hunting with hounds and how Houndsmen can improve the often mischaracterization of the Houndsman and hunting with hounds.   

Things get a little fiery this week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast. There are a couple key pieces of legislation in Oklahoma right now that could have huge impacts on the way people enjoy the state's natural resources. This is a hold nothing back episode where John takes on the hard topics around laws and regulations that the sportsmen and women of Oklahoma and beyond deal with on a daily basis. The podcast starts off with some of the usual hot topics. Should Oklahoma remain a 2 buck state or go to 1 buck tag? Are crossbows really having a negative impact on the quality of the deer herd?

If those topics don't get your water boiling, there's more. A bill to start an August velvet deer season has already passed the senate and moved to the house, and could go into effect as early as next year! Not enough you say? Did you know there are people pushing to get airbows legalized for archery season in Oklahoma? Have you seen trail cameras are now banned on public land in Kansas? Topics like these can no longer be ignored, and they are only becoming more common.

Spring is right around the corner, and with it, those vicious blood suckers that cause over half a million Americans to fall ill each year: ticks. No matter your favorite outdoor pursuit, ticks pose a significant problem. Fortunately, there are many things we can do to protect ourselves and our loved ones while in the field.

In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast, Josh talks with Brian Anderson, the Tick Terminator, about preventing ticks and avoiding tick-borne illness. Brian is known as the top speaker and educator on tick prevention in the USA dedicated to the outdoor worker, hunter, camper, and the outdoor enthusiast. In this episode, Brian shares how he became a top expert on tick prevention and gives tons of helpful tips to avoid ticks and avoid tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan and the host of the Oklahoma Outdoors podcast, John Hudspeth,  have a good old fashioned BS session about hunting rules and regulations. Both guys talk about the rules and regulation in their states and if they feel that they measure up to the best interest of the natural resource. As you listen to this keep in mind that these are the opinions of just two hunters.

Dan gets in to a great conversation about how rules and regulations can be influenced by non-resident interest groups who are more interested in making money than conserving the natural resource. This is where hunters need to step with a united voice and let outside interest groups know that they have no business interfering with another states natural resource, especially if they are not communicating with that states Department Of Natural Resources. This is an interesting conversation that is meant to spark thought and conversation about how hunting rules and regulations are managed in your home state. Be sure to share this video with you hunting friends.

Ryan Glitsky is know for being a public land killer. He consistently harvests mature bucks on highly pressured public land. What are the keys to his success? Without a doubt, one is his post season scouting. In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Ryan Glitsky shares how his bigwoods post-season scouting leads to rut hunting success.

On this episode of the Hunting Gear Podcast, the topic of conversation is bow accessories like arrow rests, bow sights, and releases. Dan and his guest discuss what kind of bow accessories they have used in the past, why they like them and and how they have evolved in to new products over the course of their bow hunting career.

Welcome to the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast. As many of us start transitioning into the true off-season, we find that whitetails are transitioning in their daily habits and routines as well. This week, the guys discuss their thoughts on what deer are doing now as we roll out of winter and into spring. While we may not be able to hunt them right now, it pays off to know what they're doing. This change in pattern is very similar to what we find deer doing during the time of season where it's not quite pre-rut, but it's also not really "early season" anymore.

Welcome to the Limbhanger Turkey Hunting podcast, brought to you by Grounded Brand and their new Impact 2.0 vest. Get Grounded at www.groundedbrand.com.

This week we're talking with 3 hardcore public land turkey hunters: Zach Ferenbaugh from The Hunting Public, Adrian Wilson from Tethrd, & Brodie Swisher from Hunting Roots. There's nothing worse than getting set up on a gobbling turkey on public land, only to have the hunt ruined by some guy wailing on a box call. So how do you handle that situation? This week each guest shares with us their best and worst encounters with other hunters on public land. The hope is that we can all learn from these situations, and apply these basic hunting ethics ourselves.

The mountain lion and Utah Houndsmen are in the fight of their lives. Utah HB469 has passed both houses of legislature and is on the governor’s desk. It is up to us take action now.

When emotional attachment is present with a hunting property, it can become difficult to implement the correct habitat improvements without some guidance.  Trying to learn on your own is possible, but can also be costly.  It's not uncommon to install food plots, road systems, or implement logging, only to realize later the practice was placed in the wrong section of the property, or even implemented wrong.  It's overwhelming compiling habitat improvement recommendations, especially if you take into account multiple professional opinions.  If you're considering having a habitat specialist consult your property, it's important that you work with someone you trust and has strong communication skills to reach your desired goals.  . 

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman Podcast, we chat with Josh Raley.  Josh is the host of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast, and also a property consultant with Whitetail Partners in Georgia.  Josh has a wide range of deer hunting experience throughout the country and understands how to manipulate property in an advantageous manner.  We discuss setting goals and objectives for a property, assessing where the highest priorities lie for improvements, and dive into a host of habitat project topics.  Josh explains the misunderstood aspects of hinge cutting, hunting access, invasive species management, and other private land habitat strategy.  We wrap up discussing what we as landowners and managers can be doing right now to improve the landscape.  It's time for some sweat equity!  

In this episode of the How to Hunt Turkeys Podcast, Paul sits down with Mr. Jay Scott. Jay is the long time host of the number 1 Western hunting podcast, Jay Scott Outdoors. Jay has conducted hundreds of podcast all based around his decades of experience in the woods. Jay is a wonderful Turkey hunter and guide. In this episode Jay delivers a wonderful lesson on how he roosts Turkeys. Roosting Turkeys is an effective way to locate Wild Turkeys. The talk focuses a lot around Western birds but the lessons can be used in any state in the Country on any sub-species of Turkey. Eastern Turkey hunters there might be a new secret weapon in the Turkey locating game. Enjoy this episode.

Turkey Season is in full swing in Florida and opens soon in Alabama and Mississippi. Please keep the H2HT crew updated on your hunts!

The "Anything But Deer Hunting" series is an attempt for us to continue our love for the outdoors by learning about other outdoor activities in the hunting and fishing space. On this episode, we talk with Nate Thomas, one of the hosts of the Missouri Woods & Water podcast, about predator hunting. Specifically coyote hunting.

Nate shares when he was introduced to coyote hunting, the strategy involved in this style of hunting, and the gear you might need before your first hunt. Nate also discusses the coyotes nose and how it is undefeated in the field, specific firearms and optics needs, and why hunting coyotes ranks up towards top of his favorite things to do.

On The Journey we cross paths with people who put us on certain paths. In 2009 Heath started with a new line of hounds he wasn’t familiar with, Topper Again. Mike Leonard was the one that pointed him in that direction. Mike has been a horseman and houndsman for more than 5 decades. From bird dogs to hounds Mike has spent the majority of his life following game all over the West. Heath and Mike talk about a training method Mike told Heath about 14 years ago that Heath still uses today. They talk about what Mike thinks the differences between a good Lion dog and a good bear dog is. 

Heath asks Mike the infamous question, can a lion shut off its scent? The two discuss theories, science, and what the heck is actually going on. The Journey is just getting started, listen up this is the diamond in the rough.  

Live from deer camp we recorded an episode from the annual scouting and shed hunting trip.  We go over some of our mishaps with camping and hunting.  Some key gear items that make these trips easier. 

Some stories told include racoons invading a tent to steal honey buns.  Installing a muffler with fishing line to make it home.  Only having enough gas money to sleep in your mini van to hunt 2 days.  

Other Topics:

-bed hunting

-scouting for a certain purpose

-installing a card table in wall tent

-never trust fireball shots

On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan talks with returning guest Joe Jones about his recent hunting activity.

Joe and his siblings were introduced to the outdoors by their father as a means of sustainability. Joe started following his dad, brothers and sisters around while they hunted at 3 years old. Joe is the youngest of 5 which made him the designated bird dog while dove hunting. As he got older he started discovering other types of hunts for himself. He started the outdoors in color as a means of introducing others to the outdoor activities that have made him who he is today. Dan and Joe chat about Joe’s recent bear hunt as well as many other hunts that have happened since they last connected.

In this episode, Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) and Albert Tomechko (Vitalize Seed) discuss the importance of soil health and an equation that will lead to bigger deer. Albert discusses the one-two system that they offer and why their seed strategy requires less inputs. Al discusses the most overlooked aspects of soil test, and why we need to think about certain seed mixes to optimize nutrient cycling.  Al and Jon discuss the mistakes of putting too much seed down and related nutrient tie up we sometimes fail to consider.

Al discusses soil and plant synergies, and why balancing carbon to nitrogen ratios are so critical to the microbial communities in our soil. Jon and Al discuss the when, why, and how to get a soil sample, to include the depth, location and reducing variables. Jon discusses using a roller crimper and balancing seeding techniques. Al discusses where he goes to get soil samples and thinks about soil from a full spectrum perspective to include mineral balancing. Al and Jon discuss thinking through crop sequencing and thinking through the next crop (i.e. corn).

Al and Jon explain what is important to consider in the fall and why carbon building is meaningful. Al discusses options to terminate cover crops in the springtime (i.e. crimper, chopper, etc.) Al discusses when he uses a heavy legume mix and what happens when we become too clover focused. Al and Jon discuss cattle and deer browse. Jon explains simple techniques to assess your soil and how compacted soils can be detrimental to food plots. Jon discusses a simple method to evaluate seed quality and how better-quality soils and plants lead to less disease.

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast the guys get to talk with Paul Campbell of the O2 podcast about his obsession with turkey hunting.  His co-host Andrew Muntz also joins us as moral support and to offer a few of his thoughts as well.  We get into Paul's background with tukey hunting, habitat loss, his opinion on reaping, hunting strategy, calling, and much more with Paul and Andrew.  We also talked about our recent coyote hunt with Missouri Disabled Sportsmen in our intro, it was an awesome time.  Thanks for listening and enjoy the show!

You’re in for a treat this week!  Shine your boots and report for duty as the guys sit down for a good talk with Glen (one N) Reich.  Glen is a friend of the show that has helped the guys grow behind the scenes.  But Glen has some pretty good stories to tell and one of them involves those hellacious demons we know as ticks.  Glen relives his time in basic training as a private, in which he had an upclose encounter with a tick, on his private.  Follow that?

Around the state there is a lot of fun spring activities in the works.  Water safety council meetings, Geology days, Spring flowers, and Hatchery open houses.  Paul will be on his way to Florida when the show releases for his first Osceola hunt.  Navigating the swamps with gators, snakes, ticks, and more!   Andrew is getting ready to head to Oklahoma in a couple weeks for some hog hunting, so gearing up for that, but not ready to go yet.  Happy to announce a new partner to the program, Xvision optics.  Check these guys out, and be on the look out for more content from this awesome optics company.

Make sure you guys check out our friends at GoWild, Midwest Gun Works, XVision optics, Half Rack, and First lite!

Have a great week and enjoy the O2 if you get out into Ohio’s great Outdoors!

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 164 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Wisconsin native Josh Dutton.  What an absolutely fun conversation that we had!  Josh works for Half-Rack which makes some real fine gear for hunters.  We only get into the gear a little bit at the end.  Josh shared his hunting traditions with his family and you see the impact that it has had on who he is today.  

Josh from a very young age knew he wanted to work within the hunting industry and mentions how Half-Rack started.  Really cool story regarding that and then he follows this up by telling hunting stories!  Josh maps out his typical year for planning for the next hunting season.  From right now, figuring out what hunts he will get to come fall, to getting his property in good shape with land management and of course getting lots of time behind the bow.  

We get into other hunting strategies, and stories throughout the podcast!  I am really looking forward to having Josh on again in the future.  Really enjoyed speaking with him and would like to dive deeper into some stories that helped him become successful in and out of the woods!   Enjoy this fun episode!  

Thanks again for all the support and best of luck out there and Antler Up!

In this crazy world Houndsmen need all the friends they can get. With legislative assaults, whacko extremists, Karen complains about your tethered dog, fur mommies worried about your kennel and the anthropomorphic wildlife disillusionists the world seems like a pretty lonely place for Houndsmen.

On this episode of the Houndsman XP Podcast host Chris Powell is joined by the world renowned conservationist and widely accepted spokesman for true wildlife management, Ivan Carter. Ivan has hosted multiple television shows on multiple networks to tell the true story about wildlife, management of wildlife habitat and how hunting plays a valuable role in the process. Ivan has traveled the world showcasing efforts of wildlife experts. He recently traveled to Utah from his home in Zimbabwe to work on a project with the Utah Houndsmen Association and Brigham Young University to collect data on mountain lions. He has been a strong voice and supporter of the anti poaching K9 teams in Africa that have made a huge impact on Rhino poaching. He worked with the Wildlife College in Africa to develop the program. 

Most importantly for our efforts as Houndsmen, he is willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with us, to tell our story and showcase our value to the entire world.

When you meet a man named "Bobcat" you better pay attention to what he has to say. On this episode of the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, John is joined by Keith "Bobcat" Williams of A.M. Calls. Keith makes a unique type of turkey call that uses petrified wood in place of your typical slate or glass pot call. Not only is the call a beautiful piece of art, but it makes realistic turkey noises that you have to hear to believe. An added advantage to the petrified wood is that it dries quickly if it gets wet, so they can be a great option for those misty days or spring mornings of heavy dew. Keith and John discuss the whole line of A.M. Calls, including the adjustable striker Keith offers. The striker adjusts to give the calls different sounds, or simply retracted to fit in your pocket or vest easier. 

In an unexpected bonus to this episode, Keith also talks about how predator numbers are affecting turkey numbers across the nation. Keith spent several years as a professional trapper (thus the nickname) back in the 80's, and talks about how the decline in fur prices also led to the decline of interest in trappers. Keith doesn't claim to be the best turkey hunter, but throughout the conversation his knowledge of woodsmanship really shines through, and you may just want to pay attention when ol Bobcat has something to say.

In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, Derek smells like beaver. He’s been busy trapping nuisance beavers on a property for the last few weeks using several 330 Conibear body traps. He talks about how he can’t use snares or a drowning rod and with trapping beaver, you have to work with what you got. Have you seen the” Zombeavers” movie?? Do you know how to check the gender of a beaver … it’s a bit of a sniff test. Why does Derek trap beaver if it’s not just for their pelts? Tune in to learn ever more exciting facts about beavers.

Brad is considering a questionable method of fleshing his whitetail deer hides. We bring up one of the biggest problems of having a big freezer full of wild game meat and debate over how long frozen meat is good for. We tease out some things to do with meat that’s been in there for a while and Derek drops his favorite beaver meat recipes. Brad bumps into a bonehead who broke into our trailer at the office and he recently competed in a PineWood Derby race with his son.

Jacob went fishing, of course, and went after trout and smallmouth bass. Bryaden got out to fish as well, and posed a question about the color of crawfish and water temperature. This is a good time to mention that we have a monster wave of new fishing gear coming to the GoWild store, from soft plastics to crankbaits to line, rods, reels and more, all just in time for spring fishing season, so gear up and get ready! We’re also loading up on all the gear you need for spring turkey hunting, including boots, camo, vests, and more.

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick is joined by host of the Pennsylvania Woodsmen Podcast, Mitchell Shirk.  Together the guys unpack the unique hunting traditions of Pennsylvania, and how they also relate to many of the Northern states' big woods traditions.  Mitchell also tells about bears and bear hunting, a practice that gets him very excited.  And to finish off the discussion, Mitchell lays out his favorite celebration meal, and his dish to pass at the Emperor's Table.  Thanks for tuning in, and enjoy this episode of Huntavore.

Mitchell Shirk says that he didn’t find podcasting, but podcasting found him.  As host of the Pennsylvania Woodsman Podcast, he brings a unique skill set of hunting big woods for deer and bears with coordinated drives. These drives could be a few friends and a woodlot, to 20+ hunters over several miles.  Bringing a team effort to a normally solo style of hunt.  Hunting for black bear specifically becomes a huge trophy, for the fact that in a no bait state, and given the range of bears coming into range of shooter is rare.  Mitchell tells the story of how his and his grandfather share getting their first bears on the same hunt.  Being a novice in the kitchen, Mitchell appreciates using minimal to basic seasonings on wild game, letting the flavor of the animal come through.  Mitchell is a regular contributor to the Sportsmen’ Empire network, and you can follow along with him @pennsylvaniawoodsmanpodcast on Instagram.

The "Anything But Deer Hunting" series on the Nine Finger Chronicles podcast is an attempt for us to continue our love for the outdoors by learning about other outdoor activities in the hunting and fishing space. On this episode, Dan talks with Tony Peterson about one of his favorite activities outside of deer hunting, upland bird hunting.

Tony talks about why he loves pheasant hunting, why he enjoys training dogs, and why he thinks this would be an excellent opportunity to add to your yearly outdoor activities. Tony also touches on the barriers to entry and even goes in to detail about specific strategies. With a fairly low learning curve and low financial startup cost.

This week on the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh talks with Greg Rosa about his journey from growing up in Brazil to bowhunting whitetails in Tennessee.

Greg grew up in Brazil where hunting isn't allowed. After moving to the US with his wife, Greg met some guys who took them under their wing and introduced him to deer hunting. Since then, his passion for hunting has grown all the more, and Greg now has a few successful seasons under his belt. In this episode, Greg shares about his early days hunting, how he's grown along the way, and how important hunting mentors have been for his development.

This is an episode you won't want to miss!

Chad and Seth are always on the lookout for their next great adventure. When the YouTube star Python Cowboy reached out to Chad the All Mixed Up crew knew some fun lay ahead. Listen as Python Cowboy talks about hunting wrestling pythons, shooting iguanas, tapping sleeping pigs on the head, hot tub surprises and much, much more! 
This is a fun, high energy episode that will leave you laughing and learning so grab a good beverage and listen up, the adventure is about to begin! 

If you talk with 5 different food plotters, you'll likely hear 5 different recommendations for seed blends.  Like the truck we drive or the bow we shoot, many are just as passionate about their food plots.  It can be extremely difficult to determine what seed blend fits your hunting property and scenario, when 5 different experts may disagree with each other.  The reality is, there are so many variables to consider when choosing a food plot that it's rarely ever "wrong".

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, we talk with Mike Lindahl from Domain Outdoors.  If you visit Domain's website, you'll notice an abnormal amount of different seed blends.  Each blend is designed for a slightly different purpose and scenario.  Mike shares his knowledge from getting started developing seed blends, choosing plant varieties that are favored throughout the whitetail's range, and then customizing for different property goals and objectives.  Mike shares 3 different property scenarios he is working with and how the food plots look slightly different from farm to farm.  Each plan is designed to cater towards Mike's hunting goals and the property's hunting strengths and/or weaknesses.  One thing Mike emphasizes is that it's perfectly adequate to tinker with a variety of blends on one farm in order to learn and fine tune for future hunting seasons.  If you're planning your food plots for 2023 currently, don't finalize before you listen to this episode!

We're continuing our 49 mini series on the Limbhanger Turkey Hunting Podcast this week with Bonce Stanley, of The Bayside Legion. 

Bonce is an absolute animal when it comes to being a traveling turkey hunter. In fact, he just completed his US Super Slam last year in spring 2022. 

In this episode, Bonce shares some of the practical things he had to do while trying to complete the slam. Things like: travel, state laws, packing, lodging etc. In all reality, this episode will give you insight on traveling to hunt, no matter what game animal you're hunting. 

We hope you're enjoying the Limbhanger podcast! Thanks for tuning in!

The Houndsman XP podcast was the first and is definitely the most popular podcast dedicated to hunting with hounds. On this "Anything But Deer Hunting" series episode, Dan talks with the host of the show, Chris Powell. Chris talks about how he got started coon hunting with dogs, the barrier of entry if you want to get started, spending expectations to get started, and the learning curve you should expect when training dogs. This is a fun episode with another passionate outdoorsman who loves his dogs and the relationships that he has made with others in the hound hunting community. Enjoy and share!

On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan talks with Ben Mosely about his passion for managing his property and chasing big deer in America’s Dairyland.

Ben started hunting when he was 12, joined the military when at 18 and took a 6 year hiatus from hunting to serve as a rescue swimmer in the Navy. Ben bought his first piece of property after getting back from his first deployment in 2013. He moved back to Wisconsin in 2014 for school but ended up taking a Search and Rescue job in Louisiana where he currently lives. Due to his 14 days on and 14 days off schedule he is able to travel to his property in Wisconsin to hunt and get much needed management work done.

On today's episode of the DIY Sportsman podcast, Garrett sits down with Mike Funderburk out of South Carolina to talk about the Hunt Better platform. This new content platform puts a focus on teaching and preserving woodsmanship skills through livestreams, detailed video hunt breakdowns, and long format video conversations. Mike explains what initiated the idea, what people can expect, and where things are headed. In addition to talking about the Hunt Better platform, Garrett and Mike talk about hunting in the South and how it differs from the Midwest, what types of deer habitat features that seem to be common across the country, technology, challenge hunts, and how experience can often be one of the best guides for learning skills first hand. 

We've got another killer episode on the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast this week. We're continuing our nameless mini series, highlighting female hunters that we believe should have a voice in this space. This week we're talking to Elizabeth Brownell, who you may know as @rookie_hunting on Instagram and TikTok. 

Elizabeth's story has a lot of twists and turns. What started as trying to find a way to be self-sustainable, led her to veganism and gardening, but ultimately ended with her finding a love for the hunting lifestyle and diving in head-first. Her story takes another turn when she found out about public land and began finding success pretty quickly on her own. We enjoyed our conversation with Elizabeth, and while she may consider herself a rookie, her knowledge is abundant. 

In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast, Josh talks with Dylan Hazen about turkey hunting, learning from the best, and filming your hunts. 

Dylan is a Wisconsin native and long time hunter. Growing up primarily as a gun deer hunter, his passion pushed him to spend more time afield so he picked up a bow. That same passion has now led him to a career path where he has gotten the opportunity to film for and hunt with some of the best hunters in the country, including The Hunting Public and Woodhaven Custom Calls. In this episode, Dylan shares some of the biggest lessons he's learned from some of the greats, how his hunting style has changed over the years, and some tips for filming your own turkey hunts. Buckle up! It's a good one!

New houndsman Aaron Kelly of Missoula, Montana joins Heath on this episode of The Journey. Aaron had the itch for a new adventure. As a life long hunter, he decided to research and work towards accomplishing the goal of being a houndsman. After building a pack of older dogs and training puppies, Aaron saw early success and was enjoying his journey, only to see his work and investment demolished by wolves. Aaron talks about the fateful day and the emotional impacts it had on him. He questioned whether to even continue. 

Heath and Aaron talk through it and listeners will see where Aaron is today. New houndsmen will be inspired by this story and seasoned veterans will be reminded of their own early struggles. This is a good reminder that we all start our journey with the first step. We all have trials that test our mettle. We all face forks in the road and have decisions to make. Aaron shares his story and Heath offers insight and mentorship.

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 163 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by two friends of mine Aaron Hepler and Dan Johnson.  The three of us had a great discussion about what we as hunters can be doing now to not suck come fall! This ended up being a little different chat about scouting than normal.  When you dive into the episode you will know what I mean!

To start this episode off we chat about how Dan doesn’t necessarily use an all year approach to hunting but rather a property approach.  After listening back to this episode I found myself relating more to what Dan was saying because of the certain private pieces that I end up hunting in the fall.  Dan talks about putting his stake in the intel that he has gained from previous hunting seasons, rather than post-season scouting to put himself into better positions.  One topic that comes out of this is how Dan has developed to scout better while hunting, but when he does get out now to walk a property it allows him to micro manage stand locations for specific spots!

Happy Hump Day O2 Family!!!  This week we have an episode that is completely internal! As you all know Paul is our resident turkey fanatic, and this week he had the opportunity to do some work with the ODNR and NWTF for turkey research in Ohio.  The episode will cover Paul’s adventure out with a team of researchers that are monitoring flock health across the state of Ohio.  Besides petting turkeys, Paul got the opportunity to see how the research is done, and ask a lot of great questions to the scientist.  This is a very unique look at how wildlife biology is done in the state of Ohio and an episode you will for sure want to listen too.

Around the state we have some news about rainbow trout stocking, turkey lotteries are open, Maple syrup festivals, and caution for wildfire season.

Have a great week and enjoy the O2 if you get out into Ohio’s great Outdoors!

If you had 48 hours to kill as many coyotes as possible and you could hunt with any 3 people in the world.....who would you pick?  Well, this week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast, we have the 2023 coyote hunting fantasy draft.  We set it up like the NFL draft, 3 rounds and an honorable mention/free agent pick.  Who will Nate, Micah, and Andy pick?  There are alot of great coyote hunters out there so the draft was deep and difficult to choose.  See what strategy we use and what the guys think of the others picks.  Let us know who you think has the best team after listening in!!!  Obviously this show was just for fun and every hunter picked is a legend so there really is no loser.  Thanks for tuning in!

On this episode of the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, John is joined by two of his best friends, Randy and Kelly. Randy is one of John's childhood friends, and if you listen to the show, you have heard John reference Randy's deer lease in West Texas several times. Kelly and John met in college, and now the three have become hunting buddies and share a camp multiple times a year. This week, the boys aren't talking whitetails though. Randy and Kelly loaded up some toys and brought them to John's family ranch to do a little night time coyote hunting. 

Randy has been into coyote hunting for a long time, and for several years spent way more time in varmint tournaments than a deer stand. Over the years he has accumulated some high quality night time hunting gear, and this podcast is mostly centered around that gear with some hunting techniques thrown in along the way. The guys talk thermal vs night vision and some of the benefits and downfalls of each. Why an electric ATV may be the way to go, and the advantages of having a raised hunting rack in the back of it. The three talk about some of the differences in calling coyotes with thermal versus walking up on hogs, and how to do each one safely. If you have been thinking about going on a thermal hunt, or maybe buying a thermal of your own, this episode is a great resource before you go spending a whole lot of money.

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh talks with Pierce Nelles about a few Hot Button Topics in the hunting world, live-stream cell cams and scent control. 

Live-stream cell cams have caused quite a stir in the deer hunting world over the last couple of months. Are they ethical? Are they fair chase? Do they set a dangerous precedent? Are they going to RUIN DEER HUNTING?! 

What about scent control and attractant scents like doe in heat urine? Do they work? Is it all a sham? Is the truth somewhere in the middle?

In this episode, the guys don't claim, but they do have some strong opinions!

Most novice ideology around food plotting and farming involves heavy tillage and pulverized soil.  Following this, many believe a monoculture crop that is manicured similar to production agriculture is required to draw and attract wildlife.  Did you ever stop and wonder, how did wildlife survive prior to man making things look "perfect"?  The truth of the matter is, excessive tillage is not required to grow quality food plots and can be detrimental to your soil.  So how do we shift our mindsets off of recreational plowing?

This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch chat's with Al Tomechko from Vitalize seed company.  Al has built his company around the foundation that better soil builds better wildlife.  This is not achieved by any miracle juice, pixie dust, or magic bean planted from overseas.  It's achieved by using plant species designed to cycle nutrients in the soil - the way the Great Plains were made over thousands of years. Al discusses how minimal soil disturbance, timely planting, and species management all aid in mining nutrients to the soil surface, making them plant available.  The deer and wildlife don't care if the buffet you provide looks messy - a plethora of plants is preferred!  Enjoy this soil health and food plotting discussion between two soil nerds, it might help you make better food plots!

Raccoon killing contests have the hound hunting community in an uproar. Social media has been on fire since late winter decrying the slaughter of raccoons by coonhunters. 

On this week's THE TRUTH, Josh is joined by fellow houndsman and Turkeys For Tomorrow board member Dan Braman.  Josh and Dan sit down and talk about the recent controversy regarding predator contests in the Midwest involving Raccoon, and the reasoning behind it.  Dan not only talks about T4T’s purpose behind sponsoring these events, but also where, how, and why they are held, but like any other good Houndsman XP podcast, we also talk hounds!  So sit back, relax, and enjoy another informative and entertaining episode of THE TRUTH, Only on the Houndsman XP Podcast Network!!

This week on the Limbhanger Turkey Hunting Podcast, Shane Simpson joins the fold. We're kicking off a mini-series about how to plan & execute your turkey hunt when chasing the 49 state Super Slam. While that's the focus of the series, everyone's goal in the turkey woods is to fill their tags quickly, regardless of whether you're chasing the super slam or not. 

Shane Simpson has a solid history of being quick and efficient in the turkey woods, no matter the state. When brainstorming a good guest for the topic, we all immediately knew he was the right one! Boy, where we right! 

The "Anything But Deer Hunting" series is an attempt for us to continue our love for the outdoors by learning about other outdoor activities in the hunting and fishing space. On this episode, Dan interviews Mark Kenyon of Wired To Hunt and Meateater about his second love, fly fishing.

Mark talks about how he got started fly fishing, what the learning curve, looks like, and how fly fishing is the perfect "ying" to his whitetail "yang". The guys have fun conversation about the similarities between deer hunting and fly fishing, Mark even expresses which one of these activities is easier. This is a fun interview that will give you something to think about out outside of the deer hunting season. Enjoy!

On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan talks with Cole Bushore and Nick Matthias about their podcast, social channels and hunting the midwest to the Rocky Mountains.

Cole and Nick grew up in the midwest and have been hunting since they were very young. They would  chase everything from deer to ducks and squirrels. Since graduating Nick moved out to Montana and Cole was able to join him this year for his first western hunt. Nick and Cole may live in different locations but they love getting together for hunts and to talk about their hunts on their podcast Jumping The String. Dan, Cole and Nick talk about just how different it is hunting the midwest vs the west.

Welcome to the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast. We're glad you're here! This week we're joined by Olivia Glasgow to talk about her progression of becoming a public land hunter. Unlike literally every man we usually talk to, Olivia has to balance out being a mother and wife with her passion for hunting. For all you guys reading this saying, "well I have to balance being a father and husband..." Shut up. It's not the same and you know it! We've talked to a lot of people over the years, and few have the drive and passion of Olivia. She's a student of the woods, and more than just a pretty face. 

In this episode you'll hear Olivia discuss some of the things that have been a challenge for her as a female hunter. Things like finding the right hunting gear, judgement from other men and women for her lifestyle, and the challenge of finding a hunting mentor. Enjoy!

The next two months are arguably the best time to get in some post-season scouting for whitetails. Antlers are dropping, snow is melting revealing even more sign from last fall, and the woods are as open as they'll be all year. These conditions create a real opportunity for whitetail hunters to maximize their time in the field. Couple these conditions with the fact that bumping deer this time of year will have no impact on your hunting next fall, and post-season scouting is a no brainer.

This week on the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast, Josh talks with outdoor writer and Wisconsin native Paul Annear about post-season scouting for whitetails. Paul spends tons of time each winter scouting for deer and scooping up shed antlers, putting the pieces together for next year's fall game plan. In this episode, Paul shares a bit about his background, what makes scouting this time of year invaluable, how to read and weigh winter sign, and much more. This is one you don't want to miss!

If you’re a fan of The Hunting Public, you know these names well.  Keith and Nick spent their fall following Zach, Warb, Ted, Jake, and the guys around the Midwest filming and hunting the hit YouTube channel.  Paul and Andrew dive in deep with the guys to get a feel for what filming and traveling the country looking for some good hunting for content creation. Chasing Whitetails, turkeys, and an overall good time is how these guys spent the last few months of their lives.

Around the state, the 2023-2024 hunting licenses are on sale soon.  Get out there and renew those.  Be on the look out for turkey lottery applications as those will be dropping soon.  Finally, the tradgedy in East Palestine has caused a lot of issues for both humans and wildlife.  The guys will dive a little deeper into this soon, but check into ODNR’s website for more information on the situation as it unfolds.

Shed season is upon us, and so far mother nature has been kind with the weather.  Get out there in Ohio’s outdoors and get some of the good old fashion O2!!!

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 162 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode Dimitri and I were joined by Michigan native Wade Childs.  This episode was a blast to record! I heard some awesome hunting stories from mutual friend Andrew Blair and I knew immediately I wanted to get Wade on the show! This has a lot of great information in it regarding whitetails, specifically hunting more aggressive!  

To start this episode off we chat about all the different states that Wade got to hunt and the different terrain, habitat and challenges these states offered.  From his home state of MI, MO, IL and IA.  From here, Wade discusses how he uses an aggressive mindset/strategy to combat the pressure he is seeing in the woods from other hunters.  We also talk about what sign he likes to prioritize when finding “the spot” to hunt.  .

Wade had another awesome season by killing a great buck in both IA and IL, while also filling 4 doe tags in MI.  I loved hearing some of the key tactics that Wade has adopted over the years bowhunting.  A few things stood out to me about his aggressive style and I hope some do for you as well!  You will also hear how much stock Wade puts into his postseason scouting, which is always a fun topic to discuss! Enjoy this fun episode!  

Thanks again for all the support and best of luck out there and Antler Up!

This week on The Average Conservationist Podcast, Marcus sits down with Professor of Biology from Chapman University, Walter Piper. Walter has spent the last 30 years studying Loons in the upper regions of the midwest, specifically Wisconsin and most recently Minnesota. The loon population continues to decline in these areas and Walter and his team are researching the cause and how to potentially right the ship going forward. Recently, Walter and his team lost some funding for the research being done in Minnesota and need some help in order to fully staff their efforts and attack this research with the proper amount of people. Head over to loonproject.org to learn more about what Walter and his team are doing as well and to donate to their research efforts.
