On this episode of the Hunting Gear Deals Series on The Hunting Gear Podcast, Camron talks with Mike from HECS to discuss one of the most unique hunting products on the market.  HECS makes hunting clothing that is designed to block your bioelectric signature, which helps keep you concealed from animals.

Mike is the owner and founder of HECS and does an amazing job explaining how animals use electromagnetic patterns to aid in their survival, and how HECS prevents them from being able to detect a human's bioelectric signature.  This is one product that I'll have to put to the test this season!

On this episode of GOHUNT’s  Western Rookie Podcast, Brian shares how to plan a western hunt by walking through an example mule deer hunt step-by-step!

Hunting the west can be a little confusing, especially for first time western big game hunters – each state has a different tag application process, you’ll find some people saying an area is great while others say it’s the worst place ever, and even once you do pick a unit you still have to find a place to actually hunt and make a game plan. In this episode, Brian breaks down planning a rifle mule deer hunt step by step from picking a state all the way to picking an opening day glassing point and hunting plan. If you are just getting into western hunting, this is the episode for you!

This week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, John is joined by fellow Sportsmens Empire podcast hosts Nick Otto and Nate Rozeveld. This podcast was recorded as Nick and Nate were driving down from Michigan to Oklahoma for a few days of exciting hog hunting action. The Michiganders were loaded down with firepower and coolers and ready to take on whatever may come their way. Nick was able to come down and hunt with John in 2023, but this was Nate's first trip down to hunt hogs. 

The guys talk about some of the stereotypes around hogs like the crazy population numbers and how tough the animals are. They also have a discussion about different firearms and calibers that are used to hunt wild pigs. Nick voices his goal of changing the negative perception hogs have at the dinner table, and vows to change the minds of Oklahomas and others about what a great gift these tasty creatures can be if taken advantage of. 

Don't forget to check out Nick (The Huntavore) and Nates (Michigan WIld) podcasts also available on the Sportsmens Empire Podcast Network!

The boys are baking their bones by the stove again in this episode that covers everything from cross-bred bulldogs to the UKC Tournament of Champions. 

Steve is on the road for a couple of weeks to New Jersey for family time and some fly fishing.  The only dogs he’ll see is the daughter’s hound/pit bull mix and the family Dachshund Louie who accompanies Ella everywhere.  But the combined efforts of Ma Bell and Al Gore provide the opportunity to keep Gone To The Dogs on schedule while on the long and winding road. 

The boys discuss the format, breed breakdowns and the ambiance that makes the TOC the premier coonhound event that it is, an event that boasts a purse of $250,000 distributed among winners at the finals held on the weekend following the airing of this episode.  The overall winner captures $50 grand!  Who would have thunk it?

Things get interesting, even humorous, when the boys throw another chunk in the stove to discuss recent posts on the Coon Hunting Conversations Facebook group page.  Moving stud dogs around the country, deep-and-lonely dogs being born that way or manmade and what is seemingly causing smaller heads in some coonhounds.  It’s all here and as the cliched phrase admonishes, “You won’t want to miss this one.”  Heck, we don’t want you to miss any of them.   Give that log a little more air, son.

On this episode of the Hunting Gear Podcast, Dan talks with the founder of Kluk Custom Calls. The guys kick off the episode by discussing the history of the company, why turkey hunting was his passion and how that led to him building turkey calls. After some time, he brought in a partner who excelled in areas that the company needed, thus leading to the company that Kluk is today. Other than turkey calls, they have expanded their product line in to predator calls and grunt tubes. Another great episode about a new ad exciting outdoor company. Enjoy and share!

This week Mark discusses how many Toms can be taken off your land to maintain a sustainable population.  Even if you are not doing much land management, you probably would like an opportunity to kill a bird annually.  Over harvesting is the fast track for a declining population.  

Right now, the South has heated turkey issues in every state.  Some hunters are openly against data collected from biologists and researchers while others are pushing for new regulations to better conserve the game bird for future generations.  Something has to give and there are many parallels with whitetail conservation changes in the 1980s and 90s.  

‍

The DU Crew made the annual pilgrimage to the Wisconsin Bear Hunters Association banquet and had a chance to catch up with Sara Meinert and her husband Chris to talk a little bit about The American Plott Association (APA) to talk about their recent Breed Days event.  Double U always enjoys seeing the APA crew and continuing our longstanding “Shirt war”.  We talk about all the events they host including the bear bay, sprint race, nite hunt, water race and more.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan chats with Zach Gregory of Michigan about his love for hunting public land. Zach talks about growing up in a family that only hunted during "deer camp". It just so happened that "deer camp" never resulted in any deer, it was more or less a social event. Over the course of 15 years Zach had never shot a deer during "deer camp". So one season he had enough and decided to start hunting public. The first season he went to hunt public with a ladder stand , and although he tagged out, his gut told him there was something more.  As many of you know and depending on where you live, hunting public land comes with its own set of challenges. This is Zach's story, ENJOY & SHARE!

Have ever thought about the moon and whether or not it impacts your encounters or ability to fill tags? Some prolific hunters swear by it, and others focus on other environmental factors. In this episode, Jacob examines the concept of the moon  being "overhead" and "underfoot" and looking at the dates and times when that specific path of the moon intersects within an hour of sunrise or sunset. These are identified as "Hunting Moon" dates and could be something to take note of for this upcoming season.

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch continues his food plot planning conversation from the previous week.  Mitch's career as a full time agronomist has him assisting in row crop management across eastern Pennsylvania.  This includes making soil fertility decisions to maximize crop yield and farm profitability.  The planning that occurs on farm operations translates to our food plotting - plan ahead for success and use the correct tools for the job at hand.

One of the most frustrating things Mitch comes across in the world of food plotting is the array of recommendations produced by food plot companies to consumers.  Often, the products and practices recommended may not be appropriate for your specific food plot scenario.  What's worse is the lack of context behind a recommendation that leads to overspending, and never properly addressing soil needs for quality food plots.  Mitch addresses a basic soil test, and provides information behind lime and fertilizer.  The motto behind this episode, "Just because the product bag has a big buck on it, doesn't mean it's the right product for your soil!"

‍

On this episode I have an enlightening conversation with a man who has gotten 13 slams! We discuss several ways to keep yourself from getting caught with your pants down while turkey hunting.

In this episode co-hosts Steve Fielder and Corey Gruver are joined by coon hunter, trainer and handler Mark Miller of Taylorsville, North Carolina.   Miller recently completed the Holy Grail of coon hunting, the United Kennel Club Grand Nite Champion title with a Plott dog co-owned by Steve and himself, Bear Pen Fever.

The trio drill down into Fever’s success story discussing the young hound’s progression from a five-month-old puppy to reaching the pinnacle in competition hunting at less than two and one-half years old.

Corey leads the interview leaving few stones unturned in terms of exactly what’s involved in achieving the Grand Nite Champion and other UKC titles.  Fever currently holds titles in Field Trials, Water Races, Nite Hunting, Hunt Tests and Bench Showing in UKC as well as Nite Hunting in Professional Kennel Club events.   The expense, the determination, the challenges and the setbacks are all fair game.  Of particular interest to listeners will be the reasons a confirmed, highly successful Treeing Walker fancier would embark on the arduous journey with a Plott of all available breeds.  Steve wades the murky waters of why Plott hunters may be more prone to breed to dogs in their own backyards.   You expect dog talk at its finest on the Gone To The Dogs Podcast and there’s plenty to enjoy in this episode.

Hiring the right land and wildlife consultant can make a monumental impact on your property.  But if you make a bad hire, you may end up with detrimental ideas and waste of funds.  There is quite a bit of parody in the space and you should do your homework to secure the right fit for your specific needs.  Who has real experience in your region and who is simply regurgitating buzz words from social media.   

Should you hire a national consultant or stay localized?  Land, just like any form of real estate, will be the largest purchase for most people and it should be treated like an investment.  I cover many ways to secure someone that will be most suitable for your goals.  Just because a consultant has name recognition, doesn't mean that they won't "phone in" a canned report which I have personally seen.

In this episode of Huntavore, Nick is on a wild ride of life, work, and family. Spring Break is around the corner, and plans to put more pork away is coming up fast. For many of us who have spring hunts and future bounty to store, consolidating and organizing our freezers is a must. Is it by species, or is it muscle specific? How to handle odd shaped cuts? Can I make accessing specific pieces easier? These are all questions that are covered on this episode of Huntavore.

‍
After a winter’s worth of rummaging, Nick’s freezers are in disarray. Needing some organization and some consolidation as his bounty is between 3 freezers. To the average hunter this may not be the most fun topic, but to anyone who puts multiple animals up each year, having a system to organize your wildgame is pretty important. Nick is also going to be adding more wild pork so bringing inventory from 3 freezers into 2 is needed to make room. Full freezers are cold freezers, being more efficient at keeping temps low and in turn keeping meat frozen solid. Batch cooking is also a great way to put odd cuts like shanks and shoulders into uniform packaging. Nick made a large batch of barbacoa and carnitas just to freeze into vac bags. Nothing is better than a thaw cook and serve meal with wild game.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan is joined by fellow Iowan, Kaleb Carstarphen, in a good old fashioned BS Session. Kaleb admits that one of the reasons he started taking hunting more serious, is the fact he wanted to impress he dad. He shares the story about growing up with a father that taught him a lot about hunting and the outdoors, but he knew that there was way more to learn in order to kill mature bucks. The answer... he went mobile. This story, like many, involves not only a change in gear but a complete change in strategy. Join us as we break down his hunting journey. Enjoy and share!

On this episode I introduce myself, Jase Greer the new host of H2HT. I talk about what to expect from this podcast and share a story about calling in a bird for my dad while filming the whole thing. Topics include: Spot and stalk turkey hunting, filming hunts, teamwork and one handed box calling.

Now is the time to be fine tuning your public hunting "spots", with the intent to increase your efficiency in the fall. How can one close the deal on a mature buck in October instead of waiting until November? With no green up yet to cover those scrapes, rubs, and beds, it is infinitely easier to identify areas of key deer movement and identify set ups that are closer to core mature buck areas. In this episode, Jacob shares what he found in his own efforts to find the spot within the spot in a public land big woods hunting area that has produced well for him in the past.

Happy Easter everyone! We hope you are able to enjoy time with family this week, and slow down to celebrate the gift we've received through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ's death. On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodman, Mitch is gearing up for spring food plots, specifically clover. Clover is one of the most popular food plots in the world of whitetails, and now is the time to get them started on a positive note.

We begin with discussing frost seeding methods and timing - you may still have an opportunity to frost seed in the next few days! We discuss the proper timing for spring planting, weed management, herbicides and use rates, to mow or not to mow, seed blends, established clover maintenance and top dressing fertilizer. The first 30 days of establishment are crucial for longevity of clover stands. Get the basics right to enjoy a quality food plot this year!

‍

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan is joined by returning guest Tom Watters from Kentucky to tell a story about a one-eyed 140 class 10 pointer that lives on his farm. Tom shares how he first noticed this buck because he had a major eye injury and an extremely sick looking body. Tom didn't expect this buck to make it through the winter. However, this buck made through two more winters and returned as a health 4 year old. Tom describes where this lived, the terrain he used, food sources, and of course the strategy he implemented to connect with this big Kentucky buck. Enjoy and share.

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water Podcast Nate and Micah have an awesome conversation with Brandon Sanders, owner of Unnotched.  Brandon is a breath of fresh air in the hunting industry and we basically just talk about things in hunting that are interesting, or annoy us, or make us laugh, or......anything really.  Thanks for listening.

In this episode Steve and Corey put on their legislative caps and address a piece of current legislation in the State of Pennsylvania that portents big problems for the dog hunter.  The bill comes under the umbrella of anti-trespass legislation and provides exorbitant penalties for hunting dogs and their owners that find themselves afoul of the provisions of the bill, whether advertently or not.   The boys hash out the bill and provide information for hunters in Pennsylvania and elsewhere that want to let their voices be heard before the bill reaches the dangerous environs of the Senate floor. 

The conversation takes on a more pleasant vibe as the boys cover the oldest and one of the most-popular breeds of trail and tree hounds, the American Black and Tan Coonhound.  The boys’ love for history is evident as they discuss early history, early founders and a long line of movers and shakers, human and canine, that have played such an important role in the breed’s seemingly timeless reign of popularity.   If you like black dogs, or if you just like to look back over the many years of our tree hound sport, this is a good one for you.  Them ole black dawgs!

Kyle explains the yearly life cycle, production, brooding periods, and home ranges. Kyle and Jon discuss weather impacts on quail and turkeys, and how dew can be problematic to survival. Kyle discusses problems with heat intensity, cold conditions, and overwinter survival.

Kyle explains what quail prefer to eat and how their diets transition from bugs to seeds. Kyle explains why diversity is critical to seed sources. Kyle details the most critical habitat features and why quail rarely step foot in forest. Kyle explains the importance of grasslands, disturbance, and bare ground. Kyle and Jon discuss the best vegetation types associated with Pine and Oak Savanna areas. Kyle provides specific examples of habitat practices that create ideal conditions for quail.

Kyle explains how to develop a property and create conditions that support high levels of breeding and interaction amongst quail. Kyle provides specific plant species that are helpful for quail to benefit from that support insect attractors and physical protections.

Spring is right around the corner, and for lots of anglers that means some of the best fishing of the year is nearly here! That's especially true if you like to target trout in Wisconsin's Driftless region and daydream about a cloud of Blue Winged Olives hovering over a bend pool with hungry trout rising beneath them. If that's the case, then this episode is for you! 

As we come off a year of extreme drought in most of the state, our trout streams have taken a hit with water levels lower, and significantly clearer than usual. This week, Pierce flies solo and breaks down the tactics he uses when guiding in the Driftess region, specifically when the trout are even spookier than usual! He talks through a trout's senses and what causes them to be so spooky under these conditions, what ideal conditions are, how to approach fish, how to build a stealthy leader, tips for casting success, what bugs are hatching and the flies you need in your box, and lots more in this week's episode!

This week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, Tyrell Roy is back to talk about his Kansas public land whitetail adventure. Tyrell is a very accomplished whitetail hunter, and consistently kills mature bucks on his family farm and permission properties in northern Oklahoma. Like many of us whitetail nuts though, he was looking for the next challenge. He found all the challenge he could handle a little ways north on Kansas public land.

After not drawing a tag in 2022, Tyrell set his sights on 2023 and was determined to make it happen. After the buck he scouted all summer was taken by another hunter on opening day, it was back to square one with the season already under way. With Kansas's recent trail camera ban, Tyrell had no other way to scout than boots on the ground and dirt on the tires. It took all season, but after a tip from a friend he was able to make a play on a great whitetail buck. If you have ever wanted to chase western whitetails, this is an episode you need to hear!

On this episode of the Hunting Gear Podcast, Dan talks with Paul Annear about turkey hunting gear and equipment for the not-so-serious turkey hunter. The guys discuss their favorite shotguns for turkey hunting, .410 shotguns for their kids, and optics that they may use. Other topics of conversation include bug repellant, turkey hunting packs, turkey decoys, turkey calls, and camouflage. This episode is a little more BS than gear discussion, but still a great conversation. Enjoy and share!

This episode was supposed to be about spring habitat improvement. However, once the conversation started rolling the entire episode was derailed and it turned in to two fathers and passionate outdoorsmen talk about what they love about hunting. On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan is once again joined by Mitch Shirk of the Pennsylvania Woodsman for a good old fashioned BS Session. Enjoy and Share!

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan talks with Mark Hatfield, a wild turkey biologist from the National Wild Turkey Foundation, about the state of the wild turkey in North America. Mark kicks off the show by explaining his role as National Director of Science & Planning. He assists in guiding the NWTF's mission, strategic oversight, and research. Mark goes in to detail about some of the research projects he has been a part of over the years and how he closely works with both federal and state agencies to manage the wild turkey population. This is an awesome episode that let's you behind the curtain of the NWTF. Enjoy and Share!

Duration and location are the variables with most hunting...and certainly with deer hunting. The better the location...the less likely you will be sitting long. The longer you sit in any spot, even the worse spot, the likelyhood of filling your tag will increase. In this episode, Jacob breaks down his recent efforts to find the spot within the spot on a large piece of big woods public land that has held some "magnums". Public land is often a large puzzle that is difficult to solve. Take a listen and this episode may give you some ideas on how you could breakdown some public land puzzles of your own.

In the latest episode of the Antler Up Podcast, host Jeremy has East Meets West Podcast host Beau Martonik. We explore the essential qualities that led to a success in hunting season for Beau from a non-traditional way. From the importance of taking time away and finding balance to the impact of maintaining fitness and nutrition, we uncover how these factors not only enhance hunting performance but also contribute to overall well-being, especially postseason.

Beau discusses perseverance, adaptation, and the lessons learned from the hunting season. During the episode you will hear how Beau has reflected on the ups and downs that transpired during the months and how he overcame them.  By analyzing struggles, not dwelling on them, and picking yourself back up. He emphasizes the value of perseverance and learning from experiences to improve in life. 

Beau also highlights the significance of adaptation, prioritization, and being detail-oriented in hunting and business. He shares his goals of building a community and creating meaningful content that brings back the deer camp culture.

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

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch catches up with bowhunter Matt Beisswanger.  Mitch and Matt were able to connect at a local event recently leading to Matt coming on and sharing his 2023 hunting season  Matt was able to harvest 7 deer with his recurve bow, including two bucks - one in Pennsylvania and one in Illinois. In order to tell this story, we have to go back a few years... almost 20!

Matt progressed as a bowhunter throughout his life until he picked up traditional archery in 2006.  He enjoyed shooting and did some hunting with the Bear bow, but never dove fully into traditional archery.  Over nearly the next two decades Matt bounced back and forth between compound and recurve, and within the last 5 seasons has now been keeping the compound at home.  This journey leads us to the season build up, where Matt had four years of history with a 180"+ Illinois buck that fell on October 30th to Matt's recurve at twelve yards!  Regardless of size or weapon, Matt's message is the same - keep the hunt fun and chase the thrill!
