In this episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch is joined by Brian Melvin.  During the Segment A 2024 New Jersey Bear Season, Brian killed a 770 lb field dressed bear.  It's estimated live weight is around 900 pounds! He recounts the story of this record-breaking bear hunt, the challenges faced during retrieval, and the unique characteristics of the bear he hunted. Brian discusses the history of his pursuit of this particular bear, the pressures and patterns in bear hunting, and the importance of comfort and security in bear habitats. He also emphasizes the significance of baiting strategies and the balance between hunting pressure and bear comfort, culminating in valuable lessons learned from his experiences. Brian shares his insights on bear hunting, emphasizing the importance of patience, scouting, and understanding bear behavior. He discusses the strategies for baiting and the use of cameras in tracking bears, as well as the significance of e-scouting in modern hunting. The conversation highlights the need for hunters to adapt to seasonal shifts in food sources and bear patterns to improve their chances of success. Brian shares his extensive knowledge on bear hunting, focusing on understanding bear behavior, travel corridors, and late-season strategies. He discusses the importance of scouting, the nuances of hunting in different segments, and the challenges of navigating swamps. The conversation also touches on the ethical considerations of using firearms and the significance of wind patterns in successful bear hunting. Brian introduces his new venture, Timber Life Outdoors, where he aims to share his hunting experiences and insights with a broader audience.

In today's episode, Jacob details how he broke down a piece of out of state public land, and in relatively short order, tagged a mature 11 pointer. As he outlines his hunt, he goes back to last fall when he felt he needed to add another state to his whitetail season. During the summer, Jacob spend time examining maps of public and private, and tried to identify a drainage system that would have several ridges dumping into it, as well as limited access points. He wanted to avoid any pre-season scouting and simply scout in season. As a result of his efforts, he found a piece that was relatively unpressured, found hot sign, and identified a ridge system that held several mature bucks.

Dan and Austin have been hunting together for the last couple years. When the deer activity slowed down on their individual chunks of private ground they decided to call an audible and shift their focus to a piece of public land that Dan and his family have been trail riding and camping on. After seeing several rub and scrape lines Dan decided to take his son Canyon out during the youth season and was able to call in 3 bucks in the first 30 minutes. This led to him putting more thought into hunting the same area during the regular rifle season. On both the drive out and the drive home Dan and Austin discuss their expectations for the hunt, their hesitancy with hunting public land during firearm season and the recap of how their first sit went. It’s an exciting episode which dives into tall tales about mountain lions as well as the management practices of multiple fish and game agencies.

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water Podcast we get the chance to talk with Matt Winstead, Micah's brother, and his two sons Brennon (12) & Ryker (10) about an awesome story of a buck that one of the boys killed during Missouri's youth season.  Without telling the whole story, both of these young men had a crack at this awesome buck in back to back seasons, which makes it that much more memorable for them and their dad.  The boys did great on their first podcast and congratulations to them and their dad on yet another memory made in the deer woods.  Thanks for listening!

On this episode of GOHUNT’s Western Rookie Podcast, Brian has Whitney Tramel on the podcast to talk about building a life to be able to hunt more!

In this episode, Brian Krebs and Whitney Trammell discuss the different approaches to hunting and the importance of starting with more approachable hunts. They emphasize the value of learning foundational skills and building experience gradually. They also touch on the misconception that hunting success is guaranteed and the impact it can have on new hunters. The conversation highlights the importance of patience, being adaptable, and understanding that hunting is not always about harvesting a trophy animal. Whitney shares her experience of hunting solo and the mental challenges that come with it. She initially felt scared and hesitant, but pushed through her fears and gained confidence. She emphasizes the importance of mindset and doing hard things to build resilience.

Brian also discusses his own experience with solo hunting and the difficulties of staying motivated and engaged without the presence of others. They both acknowledge that solo hunting can be mentally tough, but it also provides an opportunity for personal growth and self-discovery. In this conversation, Whitney and Brian discuss the importance of choosing hunting partners wisely and finding people who are on the same page. They also talk about the different strategies and approaches to hunting, including backpacking deep into the backcountry versus hunting closer to the roads. Whitney shares her experience with her podcast, Wild Strength, where she combines her passion for strength and conditioning with hunting and the outdoors. The conversation concludes with a discussion about the concept of 'wild strength' and the mental resiliency required to pursue challenging endeavors.

Takeaways:

• Patience and adaptability are key qualities for hunters.
• Learning from experienced hunters and having a mentor can greatly enhance the hunting experience.

• Pushing through fear and hesitation can lead to increased confidence and personal growth.
• Having a positive mindset and embracing the process of doing hard things can help overcome mental obstacles.
• Solo hunting provides an opportunity for self-discovery and learning, but it can also be mentally tough and require a strong mindset.
• Acknowledging the difficulties of solo hunting and being prepared for the mental challenges can help hunters better navigate the experience. Choose hunting partners wisely and make sure everyone in the group is someone you want to be with.
• There are different strategies and approaches to hunting, such as backpacking deep into the backcountry or hunting closer to the roads.
• Whitney's podcast, Wild Strength, combines her passion for strength and conditioning with hunting and the outdoors.

This week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, John is breaking down his controlled deer hunt at the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant. As soon as John found out he had been selected for the hunt back in June, he immediately began doing his homework and trying to learn as much as he could about the hunt and how it worked. What he found, is that there was not a ton of information out there on what to expect on this particular hunt. As he picked up bits and pieces from other hunters over the months leading up to the hunt, he still had a lot of questions leading up to the weekend of November 8^th. After going through the process and coming home empty handed, he made up his mind to provide as much information as possible to future hunters who drew this coveted tag.

John briefly tells the story of his hunt and what he experienced, but the bulk of this episode is more about the process, the lessons learned, and what he would do differently next time. John lays out all of the rules of the hunt, and also talks about the terrain he encountered, the vegetation, and recommendations on gear to bring. John talks about the challenges of this hunt, and how just because you see lots of deer, does not mean its easy to actually fill a tag. He also shares some thoughts on the quality tag system, and some thoughts on whether or not this hunt may or may not be right for you.

On this episode of Michigan Wild, host Nate Rozeveld welcomes Jake Bollinger, a passionate hunter and habitat manager. They discuss the excitement surrounding the upcoming gun season, family traditions related to hunting, and the importance of processing deer personally. The conversation shifts to hunting access, land management strategies, and the significance of creating wildlife-friendly habitats. They also explore deer movement patterns, the use of technology in habitat management, and the value of community knowledge sharing in hunting. The episode continues with a captivating story about Jake's buck from the current season, which was shot in late October after making an aggressive move because the farmer drove by on a UTV.

Jake knew about this buck and was able to put the puzzle pieces together by finding scrapes and understanding how deer like to bed on his property.  After making the shot the recovery was unique and Jake was in uncharted territory after not hitting the buck ideal. He discussed the challenge of tracking and recovering his deer, particularly after a gut shot, and how waiting until the following morning was critical to recovering his deer. 

Overall you can sense the passion Jake has for hunting and improving the landscape. He isn't afraid of some sweat equity and is always learning and attempting new strategies. He is very relatable to the majority of hunters who find themselves hunting the family farm or own their small piece of heaven. Leaving behind the property better than he found it is the driving force and he is already looking forward to starting habitat improvements this upcoming year.

Chris and Angelo then transition to the main topic of the day, sharing strategies you can use if you still find yourself without a harvest at this point. The Boys share where they feel focus should shift during the rut, touching on travel corridors, bedding areas, buck cruising zones, calling, and using wind and thermals to your advantage. To end the episode, Chris pulls out his grunt tube and shows you how he likes to call in his deer!

As the great motivational speaker, Matt Foley, once said, "you're going to live on a steady diet of government cheese, and be living in a van down by the river".

Throughout the conversation, the three hunters share valuable insights on adapting strategies for out-of-state trips, tracking deer movement with trail cameras, and preparing for the unpredictable weather conditions that play a crucial role in hunting success. Ethical considerations also take center stage as they stress the importance of respecting property boundaries, putting ethics above recognition, and fostering a sense of community and safety in the field. This episode is a powerful reminder that hunting is about much more than filling tags—it’s about camaraderie, the thrill of the chase, and teaching future generations the values that make this tradition special.

On this episode Huntavore, Nick is making the best of a current situation.  I’m sure like a lot of busy dad’s, the opportunity to get on hunts has been few and far between.  With only a handful of sits, Nick is biding his time.  While in this hunting purgatory, he has had the opportunity to assist successful hunters.  Two hunters hired Nick to process their 2 New Mexico bull elk.  He goes on his approach and how it is the biggest wildgame process he’s ever done.  Nick also helped salvage a young whitetail buck that his brother in law hit.  A bit of a sobering dose of reality, yet something that can be relatable, on this episode of Huntavore.

On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman, Dan chats with hunting buddy Austin Reinold about the ups and downs of their hunting season so far.

Dan and Austin started their 2024 hunting season by flying to Alaska and chasing moose and caribou. Although they came home empty handed, the disappointment from the hunt wasn’t quite over. Weeks later Dan discovered more upsetting news on his phone which the two discuss in this podcast episode. Both Dan and Austin have had encounters with their target bucks for this season but have not been able to capitalize on the opportunities. They discuss adjustments to their hunting strategies, improvements to their land and upcoming changes in the weather which they both hope will prove valuable as they try to get a mature buck on the ground in Missouri. With only a few weeks before rifle season they try to figure out what needs to change in order to have success with a bow early in the year.
