Mike and I go over the details of what type of terrain, sign and details he keyed in on to achieve success in locating a concentration of deer, and ultimately having success harvesting a buck!

John is coming at you live from Kansas this week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast. John took his mobile studio with him and recorded updates throughout the week in a semi-live format. After covering a lot of miles, John saw a couple really nice bucks and put himself in position to take a really nice 10 point. He still can't explain what happened, but it is quite a story as to how that buck didn't get a ride back home in the back of John's truck. John got to experience strong winds, storms, heat, and a beautiful landscape that is completely different than what he gets to hunt at home.

On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate Rozeveld and Bryan Myering have a great conversation centered on whitetail hunting and how it takes a community of people to achieve certain goals. Nate and Bryan's friendship stemmed from a big buck that Bryan shot. This was a buck Nate was also hunting and had a history with. Instead of being upset with Bryan or being poor me, Nate decided to reach out and congratulate Bryan. Fast forward to present day, Bryan and Nate share trail cam pics of deer, hunting stories, and successful strategies.

The conversation also delves into habitat management, cooking wild game, and the balance between family life and hunting. Nate and Bryan both find themselves helping coach their kids fall sports teams and discuss the amount of time that requires. Even with limited time in early October both guys are optimistic about finding success. Overall Nate and Bryan want to emphasize the value of open communication among neighbors and the joy of sharing hunting experiences with like minded hunters. It is very fullfilly and helps achieve goals that may have never been achievable.

On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate Rozeveld and Kevin Vistisen dive into the world of deer hunting, sharing personal stories about youth hunting experiences, the importance of quality butchers, and the dynamics of hunting on public versus private land. They discuss the evolution of hunting techniques, the role of ground blinds, and the significance of tradition in hunting culture. Kevin also shares insights from his podcasting journey (Deer Hunter Podcast) and the innovations in deer hunting products (DH3), while expressing his future goals in hunting and the importance of community in the hunting world.

Kevin's company DH3 is a synthetic scrape system that has a proven track record. Nate has been using the product the last two years with great success. Making mock scrapes is another tool in the arsenal that can help fellow deer hunters getting deer into bow range. This applies to the avid hunter looking to tag a mature buck or a new hunter looking to punch their first tag. Kevin also is launching a new camo pattern and that presale is going live in the upcoming weeks.

The Wing and Tail Boys are back with their 6th episode to break down what their typical day in the woods looks like, starting with the night-before-preparation. They begin the episode with a shoutout to their friend Kevin Creeley who found success in his opening weekend hunt. With his harvest, he’s on the board with the first leg of the #TriStateTrifecta down. Congrats big dawg!! The boys then go on to discuss what their last week has looked like leading up to New Jersey’s opening weekend. Chris is finishing up wrapping his gear in cloth tape to help silence it up. Angelo is primed and ready to try out some new gear upgrades including his first hunt with a camera. 

After the hosts catch you up on their week past, they start to break down what a typical day of hunting looks like starting with the physical and mental prep the night prior. Chris follows a very rigid scent-control regiment including the use of scent detergents, scent covers, and ozone generators. Angelo on the other hand doesn’t utilize any scent control at all. Instead, he prefers to use the wind to his advantage when both hanging a stand and spot-and-stalking. What they both agree on, however, is the mental preparation leading into the hunt. The boys go on to break down their entire process including the walk in, scouting, changing up the plan, climbing, hanging their sets, and setting up their cameras.

Angelo and Chris continue to discuss some things they like to do in the stand to pass the time as the hours progress. Chris touches on how he uses the camera as a tool in the tree both to remain occupied as well as a tool to see what’s going on without having to use his eyes. The boys also talk about the camaraderie of hunting and different ways to share the moment. For most of us, the people you first call from the tree are the most important to you whether it be your mother or father, brother or sister, or your husband or wife. Lastly, the Boys make sure to give a BIG shoutout to their wives for their support.

On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman, Dan and his hunting buddies do a full breakdown of the last 11 days pursuing moose, caribou, bear and wolves in Alaska’s interior.

Dan along with several buddies attempted to tackle their first ever interior hunt in Alaska for almost 2 weeks. This episode is full of day to day encounters with animals they had never seen before. Between fresh wolf tracks following them out of an abandoned mining trail to getting checked by Alaskan Fish and Game agents and even a perceived grizzly charge this episode is all about their crazy trip and the opportunities they never thought would happen. Dan, Austin and Jason have been hunting together for several years but when they decided to take on one of the most sought after hunts in North America they had no idea what to expect or what they’d be getting into. Between being surrounded by the 40 Mile Caribou herd and hanging out on the side of the road watching the Northern Lights dancing overhead this will be a trip they never forget. With a few tags still in their pockets the question isn’t if they will be back but how soon they will make it happen again.

A long awaited and much anticipated episode this week as John prepares to head north to Kansas to chase open plains whitetails with his muzzleloaders. John starts the episode off by talking about more local things like the deer he is seeing on the ranch and an exciting new property he picked up in Texas. After running cameras for several weeks, the outlook is not looking great so far, and if he had to choose a spot to hunt tomorrow, he would probably find himself hunting public ground.

After the local stuff, John goes outbound and talks about his upcoming trip to Kansas, which if you are listening to this episode when it comes out, he is already there. John discusses his camp set up, his scouting, and what he expects to encounter. John did not have a chance to make a scouting trip over the summer, so he is going in completely blind. Though he did not get to put boots on the ground, he has spent countless hours e-scouting ever since he put in for the tag back in April. He feels confident that with a little gravel under the tire and some dirt under his boots, he can find a spot to take down a big bodied Kansas buck.

In this episode of the How to Hunt Turkey podcast, I discuss six golden rules of turkey hunting. I share some personal stories and experiences related to each rule that will hopefully provide valuable insights and tips for turkey hunters. The rules include not stocking straight at turkeys, having a good shot sequence, paying attention to all turkey behavior, looking for sign and scouting, getting gear organized, and learning calls. These rules apply not only to turkey hunting but also to deer hunting and other outdoor pursuits.

On today's episode, Jacob shares his own struggles with mindset as it relates to his upcoming solo elk hunt out west. Letting go of the steering wheel related to work life, related to home life and other commitments can be difficult when leaving on a 2 week trip in the backcountry. The patience that is required to play the "long game" with an archery elk hunt can also prove to be difficult. We all want results now, so we can move on to the next thing...but that is just not how hunting works. Lastly, confidence in one's hunt plan can also impact the actual in the field success or failure. How does one remain confident when the odds are against you. As you listen, you may find that you can relate to these mindset challenges while in the field.

This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman we are back with part 2 of our conversation with Cole Seitzinger in what we are calling a "Dream Season".  If you missed last week, Cole shares his 2023 PA P&Y buck kill and the obstacles experienced along the way.  It was 8 days later Cole was able to lay hands on his target 150 class buck in the Prairie State.  However, the theme of overcoming obstacles remains in place!

Despite initial setbacks and doubts, Cole's wife encouraged him to go on his Illinois hunt after a 12-year hiatus, arriving a day late due to family obligations.  Cole bounced around the farm until landing in a tree that proved to be successful.  Initially, the wind kept him from hunting his primary target location.  The tree he picked was a good distance away but allowed him to observe from a distance.  The power of November had his target buck on his feet, which just happened to cruise by his tree in bow range mid-morning. Lots of lessons learned from stand selection and shot placement, to tracking, trusting your instincts, and sharing memories made in the field.
