In this engaging conversation, Parker and Jeff Stringer share their experiences in turkey hunting, the bond between father and son, and their journey into the world of archery equipment manufacturing. They discuss the importance of ethical hunting practices, the science behind broadhead design, and the joy of cooking and enjoying wild game. The episode highlights the significance of family, mentorship, and the values instilled through hunting and archery.

Turkey hunting often brings unexpected successes, but it’s the shared journey—rather than the final outcome—that truly defines the experience. The bond between fathers and sons is strengthened through time spent together in the field, where family traditions are passed down and lasting memories are made. Ethical hunting practices and well-designed broadheads are crucial for responsible sportsmanship and can significantly impact success. Beyond the hunt, simply being in nature provides a sense of peace and fulfillment. Cooking and enjoying wild game enhances the overall experience, connecting hunters more deeply to the food they harvest. Supporting U.S. manufacturing helps bolster local economies and promotes ethical production practices, while customer feedback plays a vital role in driving product innovation and improvement.

On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce is joined by George Ermert, Kyle Rorah, and Brian Glenzinski from Ducks Unlimited to talk about Ducks Unlimited's role in advocating for the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship fund, and everything that DU does for conservation! The Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund is a fund unique to Wisconsin that has been used to purchase public land, create easements, and build bike trails, boat ramps, and campsites. Recently, the state of Wisconsin underwent their annual budget approval process, of which Knowles-Nelson did not make the cut. Now, that's not necessarily a bad thing, as you'll hear explained by George, Kyle, and Brian, but it is something that should be on your radar going forward. Outside of Knowles-Nelson, the guys share how DU works to purchase land through the Knowles-Nelson fund, how they build relationships with politicians in the state, ways they work to collaborate with non-hunters to work towards conservation initiatives, the importance of R3, and what the future of DU and Knowles-Nelson hold. It's a fantastic conversation you won't want to miss!

In this GOHUNT Bonus Episode of The Western Rookie podcast, Brian shares a full rundown of backup options for hunters who haven’t drawn a tag yet, including leftover tags, OTC opportunities, and first-come-first-serve permits across the West. He also delivers timely updates on the public land sale victory, a Colorado wolf controversy, and why it’s still worth hitting the mountains even when plans don’t go perfectly.

Key Takeaways:

• Leftover / OTC Opportunities:
  
  • Colorado: Leftover tag sale opens August 5; OTC 2nd and 3rd rifle seasons still available
  • Idaho: Leftover tags on August 7 & September 18; Controlled Hunt 2 app runs Aug 5–15
  • Utah: Any Bull OTC tags open July 10; Spike tags open July 17
  • Wyoming: Leftover tags on sale July 17; reduced-price cow/calf and doe/fawn tags available
  • Oregon: First-come-first-serve leftover tags—check system frequently
  • Montana: Surplus list signup ends July 15
  • Arizona: OTC archery deer tags available November 5
  • Bonus Tip: Consider eastern whitetail states like North Dakota and Kansas for OTC or first-come tags
• Public Land Sale Update:
  
  • Thanks to massive public response, the Senate public land sale proposal was removed
  • The fight isn’t over—Sen. Mike Lee and others are still pushing for future land transfers
• Colorado Wolves Update:
  
  • CPW is holding a special meeting on rising wolf-livestock conflicts
  • So far, 9 wolf deaths have occurred since reintroduction
  • Raises concerns about ballot box biology and wildlife management without scientific oversight

Conclusion:
If you’re tagless after July 4th, it’s time to act fast. Leftover tags and OTC options are slim, but they’re still out there. Pick one, treat it as a chance to try something new, and make the most of your fall. Every hunt is better than no hunt.
