Where did the Leopard Dog come from? That is a question we may never know the answer to.  Were Leopard Dogs and Plotts crossed? While opinions differ, today’s author proposes that is exactly what happened.  On the quest to make the best bear dogs in the land, there are lots of twist and turns.  But to sculpt a masterpiece a sculptor must use a combination of the finest materials and the highest quality of tools.  Building a bear dog is no different.  It takes the keen eye of the sculptor to seek out the greatest raw material and then work his magic. Did Henry Plott have the same vision in mind for the Plott dogs? Did Henry Plott see the Leopard dogs as a vital piece of the Plott hounds we know and love today? Listen up ladies and gentlemen, class is in session.

Caden Kyles, owner and call builder with CK Custom Calls, joins Brian on the show. Caden became interested in waterfowl hunting through his grandfather who told him stories of Arkansas timber holes covered in ducks. He also gave him his first duck call and that began a love for hand made duck calls. We discuss what got him into making his own calls and how long he has been making them. We talk about his first duck hunt and some family hunting history. We discuss an incredible hunt from a floating house on a bay near South Padre Island. We also talk about his faith in God and the impact Cross Trail Outfitters Ministry had on his life.

In this week's episode host Kevin Creeley is joined by guest Kendell Mitten to discuss the story of him killing a 150" buck in a pine thicket with a bow, at a high pressure hunt club in central Virginia.

Topics include:

- Virginia hunting heritage

- Still hunting at dog hunting clubs

- Utilizing terrain features in pine thickets to target bucks

- Early season food sources

- Pre rut tactics

- and more!

Sometimes good things just take time.  This week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman is no exception, as this is a slightly longer conversation.  Our guest is Cory Gulvas and we dive into the world of traditional archery.  Cory's passion has driven him to competition level shooting, solely hunting with a recurve, and even bow building.  In that time, Cory has faced nearly any obstacle that a new stickbow shooter could possibly experience.  Take notes if you're a noob!

Cory is often approached for advice, and typically finds people struggling with the same things repeatedly.  We discuss getting into traditional archery for the correct reasons, choosing the best equipment to start, aiming methods, shot execution, target panic, and much more.  If you've been struggling to figure out how to overcome many of these common issues when shooting a trad bow, your questions may be answered in this episode.

While cell cams will continue to evolve in size, picture quality and other specs, the greatest opportunity for differentiation within the market is the evolution of the app that accompanies the cell cam. Cell cam apps are now incorporating artificial intelligence, tagging of specific animals, and greater sorting features. But, what about all the other data that pics provide. That is where the real separation in the product category will happen next. The data collected from your fleet of cell cams will help you create a micro predictive deer movement model based on your property to help you allocated your time more effectively in the field. This is where cell cam apps are going and you should pay close attention to the companies that evolve this space accordingly.

In this episode of the Antler Up Podcast, host Jeremy Dinsmore is joined by The Dialed in Hunter, Josh Kirchner.  In this conversation, Josh Kirchner and Jeremy discuss the importance of keeping things simple when it comes to Western hunting. They emphasize avoiding overcomplicating gear choices and focusing on archery fundamentals instead.  Josh is a wealth of knowledge and years of experience when it comes to western hunting and backpack hunting.  He recently just released his latest book Becoming A Bowhunter: A Complete Beginner’s Guide to Archery Hunting (Becoming a Hunter). 

 They also highlight the significance of understanding the food sources of animals, from bears, elk and mule deer, and how it can lead to hunting success. The conversation touches on the value of research and preparation, as well as the need to prioritize time in the field. 

Overall, the key takeaway is to focus on the essential aspects of hunting and not get caught up in unnecessary complexities. In this conversation, Jeremy and Josh discuss the importance of scouting and e-scouting in hunting. They emphasize the need to plan and gather knowledge about the animals, their behavior, and their habitats before going on a hunt. They also talk about the significance of simplifying the scouting process and focusing on key factors such as elevation, access, and centrally located campsites. Josh shares his tips for e-scouting and highlights the importance of knowing your gear and testing it before heading out. They also discuss the importance of food and water in the backcountry and the need to bring food that you enjoy eating. Overall, the conversation provides valuable insights and advice for hunters heading out West for their first trip.

So, grab your gear, sit back, and join us on this episode as we Antler Up with Josh Kirchner on today's episode of the Antler Up Podcast.

Returning to the podcast this week is none other than Frank Alan Stie. Fresh off a 5 state turkey tour and riding high off the release of his new book "From Blue Ridge Mountain Boy To Sooner Slayer: A Perspective on Hunting, Fishing, Family and Friends" we have a fantastic conversation that covers a multitude of topics. With as much experience hunting turkeys and living life as Alan has, you never know what nuggets of wisdom you'll hear!Topics Include: Using gobbling jakes to call in Toms, Hunting college educated birds in Mississippi and Virginia, Hunting too hard, Falling in the mud, Mixing briar patches and inflatable decoys.

In this episode, I sit down with my good brother Chris Myers to discuss his love for the outdoors and his company Zulu Archery Outdoors. We dive deep into conversations such as being African American in the outdoors industry as well as mastering the fundamentals of archery. This is a good one ladies and gentlemen! Tune in!

In this conversation, Dan Johnson and Joe Jones discuss the challenges of balancing work and family with their passion for the outdoors. They also provide an update on Joe's pursuit of a particular buck and his efforts to gain access to a 200-acre property. Joe shares his strategies for patterning the buck and his excitement about the new hunting opportunity. In this conversation, Joe and Dan discuss the behavior and patterns of a mature buck that Joe is hunting. They explore the idea that the buck is not truly nomadic but rather has multiple core areas where he feels safe. They also discuss the buck's sensitivity to human pressure and cameras, and the potential impact of cattle on his movement. Joe shares his plan to hunt the back walls of the property and use mock scrapes to attract the buck. Dan advises Joe to be cautious about sharing information and to consider hanging a tree stand while setting up trail cameras.

Takeaways:

• Finding time for outdoor activities with family can be challenging when balancing work responsibilities.
• Children often develop a love for the outdoors when exposed to it at a young age.
• Patterning a mature buck can be difficult, especially in areas with high hunting pressure.
• Gaining access to private hunting properties requires persistence and building relationships with landowners.
• Having a clear understanding of a buck's core area and movement patterns can increase hunting success. Mature bucks may have multiple core areas where they feel safe.
• Human pressure and cameras can cause bucks to shift their bedding areas.
• Cattle can affect deer movement and behavior.
• Hunting the back walls of a property and using mock scrapes can be effective strategies.
• Be cautious about sharing information to avoid increased hunting pressure.

We talk about deer sign a lot. Tracks, rubs, scrapes, beds, and food sources all make sense when we think about them individually, but taking a step back to look at the big picture is something most of us don't do often enough. Luckily, there are people out there like Brian Dombrowski who can help us break things down!This week, Pierce & Brian start what was originally intended to be a woodsmanship podcast, and it is, at times... but that seems too limiting for the conversation the guys had. In this episode, the guys dive into scouting, understanding food sources, reading tacks and rubs, going with "the flow" of the woods, not wasting time playing safe in the early season, and at the end of it all, just keeping things simple. It's a conversation that should hopefully give you reason to pause, zoom out, and think about this upcoming season a little differently. Enjoy!

We have a very special episode this week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast. Native American Tribes have a rich history with Oklahoma's land and wildlife. Many of the tribes represented today were on the landscape long before statehood, and have a relationship with wildlife that goes far beyond hunting for pleasure and past time. Trenton Kissee is the acting secretary of interior affairs for the Muscogee Creek nation and has a Natural Resources degree from Oklahoma State University. He joins John this week to educate us on the involvement that the tribes have in promoting wildlife and habitat in Oklahoma. 

Trenton and John talk about the new agreement the big five tribes came to that allows tribe members to hunt on each other's reservation lands. Trenton also talks about some research projects the tribes have been helping on, including opening up some CWD testing sites to make testing available to more people. And just for fun, Trenton puts on the host hat and asks John a few questions about his upcoming hunt on Big Mac aka the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant.

They’re here folks.  The hot, sultry, dog days of summer, considered by the ancient Greeks to be connected with heat, drought, sudden thunderstorms, lethargy, fever, mad dogs and bad luck.   Hound hunters will agree with that Hellenistic view, adding mosquitos, poisonous snakes and humidity to the mix as they try to keep a hound in shape or to attend competitions at this time of year.

Steve and Corey touch on track dogs and tree climbers in this episode from the front porch on a dog day afternoon.  Steve has some pretty serious views on the subject of climbing trees when training hounds and offers a strong admonishment to those tempted to apply the method to their training regimen in a single word, don’t!

Whether your drink of choice is sweet tea or a mint julep, pour a tall one and enjoy an hour or so with us, rocking to the Summertime blues

Graham from Vortex discusses hunting and shooting experiences, including the Vortex Ambassador Summit and the challenges of shooting a handgun. They also talk about the culture at Vortex and the passion for hunting and shooting among the employees. Graham shares his upcoming hunting plans in Wisconsin and South Dakota, with a focus on whitetail deer. They also discuss the differences between whitetail and mule deer behavior and hunting strategies. In this conversation, Dan and Graham discuss hunting opportunities in different states, including Wisconsin and South Dakota. They talk about the challenges of getting permission to hunt on private land and the increasing interest in hunting for organic meat. They also touch on the topic of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) and the precautions hunters take when dealing with CWD-positive deer. The conversation concludes with a discussion about the impact of urban populations on hunting opportunities and the importance of knowing where your food comes from.

Takeaways:

• Vortex employees are passionate about hunting and shooting and participate in these activities themselves.
• Shooting a handgun is more challenging than it seems, and proper form and technique are crucial for accuracy.
• Vortex offers training courses, such as the Edge program, to help people improve their shooting skills.
• Whitetail deer in Western South Dakota are more skittish and alert compared to whitetails in the Midwest.
• Hunting plans can be opportunistic, focusing on the behavior of the animals and adjusting strategies accordingly. Getting permission to hunt on private land can be challenging, especially in areas with high urban populations.
• There is a growing interest in hunting for organic meat and knowing where your food comes from.
• Hunters take precautions when dealing with CWD-positive deer, such as getting the meat tested and disposing of it properly.
• The value placed on different species varies in different regions, with mule deer often being more highly valued than whitetail deer.
• Bow hunting can be a good way to gain access to smaller parcels of land and appeal to those who are more open to hunting for organic meat.
• The traditional hunting camp culture is changing, with more emphasis on hunting for big antler deer.
• The impact of urban populations on hunting opportunities can vary, with some areas being more protective of deer hunting land.
• Knowing where your food comes from and how it is prepared is important for many hunters.

Today Jason and Josh have a great conversation on the importance independence in a dog.  Some on the other side of the spectrum feel there is a point when independence becomes a fault.  Same coin, two different sides.  The guys get a chance to catch up on the EHS standings, what’s coming up and just talk dogs for a bit. Make sure to check out CaneStream Media for more from Josh and the guys. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552624856662

Sehra Evans, Chairman of the Monterey Chapter of Ducks Unlimited joins Brian on the show. Sehra was born and raised in California and became a waterfowl hunter later in life. She did not grow up hunting. In fact, her family was actually against hunting and was not supportive of her decision to become a hunter. We discuss what that dynamic was like and how hunting has become such an important part of her life. We talk about waterfowl hunting in the Pacific Flyway and her experiences and stories from that region. We discuss the vastness of the state of California. We also get into what it is like dating a waterfowl hunter and hunting as a couple. We also talk about her involvement with Ducks Unlimited and her position as Chairman of the Monterey Chapter.

Branching off from last week's episode, we discuss weed management and some key in-the-field observations.  Mitch mentioned that there are three common "modes of action" to control weeds including mechanical (tillage, hand pulling), chemical (herbicide), and biological (plant competition).  Is it possible to manage weeds with only one?  This week's guest on the Pennsylvania Woodsman is Troy Dietterich who shares some interesting observations from his personal hunting property.

Troy and his wife prefer to limit the use of pesticides on their property.  This is something anyone can do successfully if they stay dedicated and work hard towards.  That's not to say it doesn't come a little more difficult and with a greater learning curve.  Troy has used a multitude of seed blends and management styles on his food plots; some successful and some not.  We dive into what worked, what didn't, and what key observations were made in order to make better decisions moving forward.  This episode is a great example of just because someone says you should do something a certain way (this includes recommendations from Mitch!), doesn't mean you can't modify tactics to better serve your property and personal goals!

Over the past 5 years, the cellular trail camera market has evolved tremendously. The quality of pictures and video have increased, trigger speeds are faster, and the price of the actual camera and the corresponding data plans have dropped. In today's episode, Jacob shares the his ranking of 9 different cellular trail cameras for 2024, and the pros and cons of each respective camera. This includes commentary on cellular trail cameras from Moultrie, Exodus, Tactacam, Bushnell, SpyPoint, Muddy, StealthCam and more.

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 234 of the Antler Up Podcast!

In this episode of the Antler Up Podcast, host Jeremy Dinsmore is joined by Aaron Hepler. In this conversation, Jeremy and Aaron have a conversation on simplifying hunting and scouting techniques. Together, they explore the critical role of post-season scouting, emphasizing how this off-season activity can deepen your understanding of specific hunting areas and uncover those elusive missing pieces of the puzzle. They both share their current state of where they are at in this process and why.

Jeremy and Aaron delve into the nuanced role of trail cameras, discussing their value in providing historical data while cautioning against over-reliance on them for real-time hunting decisions. They highlight the importance of understanding deer behavior and preferences throughout the year, offering insights that can significantly boost your hunting success.

The episode also covers practical tips such as marking trees and taking photos of potential spots to ensure key details are remembered when it's time to set up for a hunt. Jeremy and Aaron stress the importance of keeping your trail camera usage simple and focusing on long-term scouting strategies. They advocate for hunting edges and transition areas, which can increase your chances of success.

Reflecting on both successful and unsuccessful hunts is another crucial strategy discussed, as it helps improve future hunting tactics. Throughout the episode, Jeremy and Aaron emphasize maintaining a positive attitude, having fun, and continuously learning from every hunting experience. Tune in to Episode 234 to gain actionable insights and enhance your hunting game by keeping things simple and hunting smarter.

So, grab your gear, sit back, and join us on this episode as we Antler Up with Aaron Hepler on today's episode of the Antler Up Podcast.

In this episode of the Hunting Gear Podcast, host Dan Johnson interviews Gregg Farrell from Tactacam about their new camera, Reveal. They discuss the company's history, the current rain situation in Wisconsin, and their personal hunting plans for the year. They then dive into the details of Tactacam's transition from action cameras to trail cameras, focusing on the reliability and ease of use of their products. They also talk about the evolution of trail cameras and the importance of not over-engineering them. Finally, they discuss the specific features and differences between the Reveal X 2.0 and Reveal X 3.0 models. The Tactacam 3.0 cameras have been redesigned from the ground up, with improvements in form factor and antenna design. The new antennas are mounted on the top of the camera and have a two-position pivot, allowing for better transport and positioning. The external antennas are necessary because the areas where the cameras are hung typically have poor cell service, and the antennas maximize signal strength. The new cameras also feature high-quality 4K photos and 1080p videos, improved image sensors for fewer false triggers, and an internal storage option that eliminates the need for SD cards. The cameras are more efficient with batteries and are priced the same as the previous models. Future updates include new accessories and an app update that will simplify the user experience.

Takeaways:

• Tactacam started as a company producing point of view cameras before transitioning to trail cameras with their Reveal line.
• The company focuses on building reliable trail cameras and providing excellent customer service.
• The Reveal cameras are designed to be easy to use, with a simple setup process and an intuitive app interface.
• Tactacam aims to strike a balance between incorporating new technology trends and maintaining ease of use for customers.
• The Reveal X 2.0 and Reveal X 3.0 models offer different features and capabilities, providing options for different user preferences. The Tactacam 3.0 cameras have been redesigned with improvements in form factor and antenna design.

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick is joined by recipe guru, Adam Berkelmans. Adam is the

author of hundreds of recipes and dishes, however our focus isn't on the recipe itself, but a

mastered dish. The guys talk about a couple of their favorites where they have made changes

and different variations to make the dish their own. Mastery is more than following the list, but

tweaking the list, going with your gut, and taking things to another level. Get ready to add a bit

of this, and a pinch of that, on this episode of Huntavore.

The conversation explores the process of mastering a recipe and making it one's own. The

hosts discuss the idea that a recipe is a living thing that can be adapted and changed to suit

personal preferences. They share their experiences of experimenting with different dishes and

making adjustments to create their own unique versions. The conversation also touches on the

importance of persistence and not giving up when trying to perfect a recipe. They highlight the

need to master the basic recipe before venturing into more complex variations. In this

conversation, Nick Otto and Adam discuss the importance of observation and adaptation in

cooking wild game. They emphasize the need to experiment with flavors and techniques to

create unique and delicious dishes. They also discuss the challenges of cooking older animals,

such as roosters, and provide tips for making them tender and flavorful. Adam shares his

expertise in cooking wild game and offers resources for further exploration.

The start of deer season openers is getting closer and closer by the day. Are you planning on a cell cam upgrade for this upcoming season? Evaluating cell cam options can be a bit overwhelming...with various trigger speeds, photo range, photo quality, etc. In today's episode, Jacob shares some of what he learned when he began examining 9 different cell cams and their respective specs. What he found was that there are some clear winners and some clear losers and today he runs through some of the categories that he used to evaluate these options for 2024.

No-till and soil health have almost become buzz words in the food plot world.  The practices themselves are sound and have a good purpose when it comes to wildlife use.  But does that mean you need to keep up with the Jones' just because someone else told you so?  This week Mitch shares his exposure to no-till food plotting, a few of the reasons why he adopted it, and shares a few hurdles you may face when making the transition.  This is all from the hip first hand experiences in Agriculture as well as food plots.  He discusses weed management, moisture management, and low budget planting equipment with practices to ensure you don't encounter the same challenges as he and many others.

In this episode of the Antler Up Podcast, host Jeremy Dinsmore is joined by Jim D’Agostino. In this conversation, Jeremy and Jim discuss their plans and preparations for the upcoming whitetail hunting season. 

Jeremy and Jim talk about their gear, including Jim's new Elite Ethos bow, and their approach to scouting and hunting. They emphasize the importance of enjoying the process and not putting too much pressure on themselves. Too many times over the years when unwanted pressure was put on by themselves nothing good came about.  So, they both share how they have kept each other in line regardless of an outcome. 

They also discuss the benefits of staying fit and active, as well as the possibility of participating in out-of-state hunting trips. Overall, they express excitement and confidence for the upcoming season. In this conversation, Jim and Jeremy discuss their recent experiences with archery shooting and 3D shoots. They talk about the importance of having a comfortable grip and how it affects their shooting accuracy. They also share their experiences with target panic and how they overcame it. 

They discuss the challenges they faced during 3D shoots and the lessons they learned. They also talk about their hunting plans for the upcoming season and the adjustments they plan to make in their hunting strategies. They touch on the topics of wind direction, access routes, and scent control. They also mention the possibility of having more Sunday hunting days in Pennsylvania and the benefits it would bring to weekend warriors like themselves.

So, grab your gear, sit back, and join us on this episode as we Antler Up with Jim D’Agostino on today's episode of the Antler Up Podcast.

Corey Gruver is back and he and Steve have the porch rockers humming like the treadle wheel on Grandma’s sewing machine as they talk about a wide assortment of topics this week.

Hot weather is abundant and so are summertime tales in this episode.  Recent exploits of the boys Plott dogs as well as the announcement of the upcoming nuptials of Corey’s female Goldie to Bill Shininger’s stud dog are front and center.   The talk moves to the latest accomplishments of Steve and Mark Miller’s Plott Fever in field and water events and progresses to the realm of deep-thinking about how to decide when and to which stud to breed with an admonition to owners of females “not to wait too long.” 

With Autumn Oaks less than two months away, the boys share some of their favorite humorous stories from experiences at “The Event Where History Is Made.”

This one is jam-packed with good information concerning how to improve club membership, explores the dangers of a once-common practice of climbing trees and culminates with a very interesting conversation on the importance of track dogs in the sport.  The boys discuss the all-important question “which is more important, the track dog or the tree dog?”  If you don’t listen to anything else this week, check out this portion of the podcast.  It’s good stuff!

‍

On this episode I am joined by my wife Caroline Greer. While she may not be a turkey hunter she is married to one and we have a great conversation about teamwork, marriage and turkey hunting. Caroline grew up in Ontario and had family members who hunted so she is no stranger to it although she doesn't hunt much herself. She has, however been exposed to all sorts of hunting and fishing related things. From her husband bringing home turkeys to stingray she finds a way to not only be ok with it all but also encourage it! This is one you'll want to sit down with your spouse and listen to.

Topics include: Wild game cleaning protocols, the wonders of vacuum sealing, being where you are, appreciating what you have, and hunting unselfishly.

‍

We all make mistakes in picking, handling, and training dogs. Sometimes experience goes a long way. Heath has seen dogs being washed because of shyness. He tells us more about the behavior and what to watch for. Hunting young dogs together is another topic discussed in this episode. How does selling a hound affect you? Letting go isn’t easy.

It's hot, it's humid, the mosquito swarms could carry you away, and that can only mean one thing... It's time to start hanging trail cameras! And who would be better to talk about trail cam strategies with than Jacob Sklenar? That's right, folks, Jacob is back again to drop even more knowledge to help you guys get off on the right track this deer season, and you might want to grab your notepad.

In this week's episode the guys share how their summers have been, and then dive right into strategy talk. Jacob breaks down why he uses trail cameras to answer a question he has, and how he goes about doing that. He shares areas he likes to hang cameras, when he likes to hang cameras, some subtleties he picks up about other hunters in an area and how they will shift deer movement, how he uses historic data about an area, reading tracks when the camera doesn't go off, and even a bit of speculation about technology in the woods. All that and more in this week's episode!

This episode of the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast is all about gear. John has three out of the ordinary hunts this year that all feature different states, terrains, weapons, and gear. John breaks these hunts down one by one and discusses the drastic differences in gear he will need for the different hunts. John will start off with an early season September muzzleloader hunt in Kansas. After doing a lot of map scouting, John learned that the area of Kansas he will be in is much more remote than he realized. This hunt will probably be a truck hunting scenario, something John has not done much of recently.

Back in Oklahoma, John drew a tag for a traditional archery only hunt which means he will need to polish his archery skills. After testing out an old recurve he had, he discovered a bent limb which makes the more powerful bow not an option. He now has to decide to stick with his 40 pound longbow, or drop some money on a new recurve. He also has to decide if he wants to stick to hunting on the ground or practice shooting a long traditional bow from a tree stand.

The last hunt of his season will take place in the cactus covered mountains of south Texas. Clothing is the main concern on this hunt. Being just off of the Rio Grande River and Mexican border, this area has some of the most unpredictable weather in the lower 48. Add long hikes mixed with hours of sitting and glassing, you just never know what you are going to end up needing to put on or take off in a moment's notice. All while possibly needing to take a 300 to 400 yard shot at any second.

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch is joined by Nate Sellers of Average Jack archery.  The episode dives into opening the case and dusting off your bow from last season.  We discuss how to get back into shooting shape - this includes, reps, routine, gear checks, tuning, and more.  Practice makes perfect, but what about when you don't have a lot of time to practice?  Being intentional about what you are practicing, and practicing it the correct way goes a long way if reps are frequent but short.  Small steps build confidence for shooting at game this fall - start now!
