On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, we chat with Ricky Brule a passionate hunter and the marketing force behind Vapor Trail Archery. Like most hunter profiles, we get to hear about Ricky's hunting origin story as a kid who was interested in archery and bowhunting. Ricky talks about recently being diagnosed ADHD and the benefit archery brings to himself and others with that diagnosis. Ricky along with "Hollywood" just kicked off a new podcast called "The Range" that explores both hunting and target archery. Just another awesome interview with a serious and passionate bowhunter.

In this episode of the Southern Way Hunting Podcast, Josh talks with Stephen Cordaro of Hunt Solo Public about early season southern bucks & travel hunts. Stephen is what you might call a grinder. Whether it's shooting, fitness, scouting, or hunting, Stephen is always pushing himself, striving to get just a little bit better. In this episode, the guys discuss Stephen's love for chasing public land whitetails both in the south and across the country, how Stephen approaches early season hunts in the southeast, and what he's doing right now to make sure he's in peak physical condition. Enjoy!

Ever wish you could piece together on of those DREAM seasons? Like one where you get to hunt FOUR DIFFERENT destination whitetail states in a single year? Such is the case for John Hudspeth for the 2023-2024 season. John is the host of the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast and knows a thing or two about whitetails. His success speaks for itself, and he regularly kills top-tier bucks. But this year, John will be testing his bowhunting skills in a broad range of new settings. John will be hunting September whitetails in Nebraska, chasing prerut bucks in Oklahoma, hitting the peak rut in Iowa, then back to Oklahoma and Texas for post rut and late season action. Tune in to hear more about John's plans, his thought process surrounding his strategy, and exactly what his goals are for this year. Enjoy!

In this week’s No Lowballers podcast by GoWild presented by GunBroker.com, we’re talking about how military technology impacted the way we hunt today. In this week’s No Lowballers podcast by GoWild presented by GunBroker.com, we’re talking about how military technology impacted the way the modern outdoorsman hunts today. We dive in with an integral part of the hunting industry: optics. Allen starts with Leupold, who at one point in time was the largest provider of small arms optics for the US Military. He tells us about the differences between optics that are military spec and optics that are consumer based with some military features. Logan spends some time talking about the Nydar Model 47 Shotgun sight, which is based on a military aviation sight, that was scaled down for shotguns. Next, Allen speaks on military bolt-action surplus rifles that were modified into hunting rifles. These guns were very inexpensive, which led to hundreds of thousands of these guns being sporterized. This conversation led us to Logan sharing a book from 1963, called “How to Convert Military Rifles” or in Logan’s words “How to Destroy a Military Firearm.” These books covered multiple different makes and models of military rifles and every step on how to convert them to a deer gun. Have you ever run across one of these sporterized rifles? We’d love to know if so! Brad brings up the modern sporting rifle field and how the AR-15 is a modern take on sporterizing a military rifle. From small game all the way to big game, the AR-15 has become a staple in the outdoor industry. Offering a ton of customization options and versatility, the AR-15 style rifle has boomed in the outdoors with many companies offering options specifically built for game and ready for consumers to take the woods. We end with a conversation on the first recruits in the Revolutionary War being men who grew up hunting. Brad speaks on how the Lewis & Clark Expedition looked specifically for rugged outdoorsmen and how those skillsets later converted well over to military. Allen ends up going through some amazing options for modern sporting rifles available on GunBroker.com If you like what you’re hearing, please leave us a rating and review!! The No Lowballers podcast is a brand new joint venture between GoWild and GunBroker.com to explore the history and heritage of firearms. We hope to expose you to the vintage guns of the golden age along with newer, modern

guns, specialty items, and a few other odd balls along the way. Jump in and come along for the ride! The show launches every Thursday morning. Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.

‍

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan talks with serious bowhunter Joel Burham AKA Whitetail Fit. Born and raised in eastern Nebraska, at an early age Joel became interested in hunting, specifically bowhunting. The guys kick off the episode by talking about hunting access, tag allocation, and the never ending resident vs. non-resident debate.

Joel talks about his learning curve with deer hunting and a couple of his "ah-ha moments" like learning how to hunt scrape lines. As he started to find success, Joel talks about expanding his bowhunting adventures and hunting other species. The guys wind down the episode talking about the idea of Whitetail Fit and fitness in general. Another great episode with a passionate hunter. Enjoy!

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch speaks with none other than Mr. Whitetail himself, Larry Weishuhn. Larry is an award winning outdoor writer and professional biologist who has forgotten more about whitetails then most folks will ever know. Mitch and Larry reconnect after meeting a year ago at a local game dinner where Larry spoke, and begin by discussing Larry's one hunting trip to Potter County Pennsylvania. 

We discuss whitetail biology and hunting experiences throughout Larry's career. Also, tactics from spot and stalk to rattling, and how whitetail biology as well as hunting pressure can impact their success. We also discuss our favorite hunts outside of whitetails including black bear and a story which combines flintlock muzzleloaders and yogi bear. Thanks for tuning in!

On this week's episode I was joined by Mr. Kansas Jon Landwehr!  Jon resides in Kansas where over the last three years he has killed TWO 200+ deer and one 170+! This year Jon, Tyler Wilbur and Angelo Giannoi are going to be traveling all over the country filming their hunts for their brand Legacy Pursuit.  We get to hear what Jon has planned and all the stories, lessons and strategies Jon used killing his 3 giant KS bucks!!

We begin this episode by getting an introduction to Jon and hear how he learned the ins and outs to hunting Kansas from a very young age.  From Jon’s description of where he hunts, it is completely different from what I grew up hunting and hunting to this day.  So hearing his style and the strategy for how he hunts these giant whitetails was something I had to hear.   Following this up, we get into breaking down the stories, and the main takeaways for killing his past three bucks.  Two of them shared a similar story in that they were taken early, compared to the one last year Jon had to really grind the year out to finally catch up to him.  In between these stories we hear Jon talk about the buck that he and his son were after and what ultimately led to him not getting a chance at this public land buck.  We wrap things up hearing about Jon’s upcoming plans and what is in store for Legacy Pursuit…..So, tune in and listen to some stories and a fun conversation with Jon!  Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week!

Thanks again for all the support and best of luck out there and Antler Up!

This week the guys sit down to discuss what they have been up to.  Paul’s deer season may have come to a screeching halt with one swing of the bat. Learn about how Paul’s homerun may have put him on the IR for the near future.  Both guys spent some time shooting prior to Paul’s injury, as the season quickly approaches.  Reminder that the start of the 2023 seasons is right around the corner with September 1 kicking off some of the first opportunites for small game and such.

The meat and potatoes comes from a great conversation with elite archer Chris Jay.  Chris has worked with the guys over at Working Class Bow Hunter, as well as many other top notch archers in the industry. He’s spent years in and around the archery scene as was nice enough to come on and give some pointers to the guys.  Hopefully you can find some insight that is valuable for you this year in the woods.

Have a great week and enjoy the O2 if you get out into Ohio’s great Outdoors!

Everybody loves a good hunting story. They allow us to relive hunts from the past, and bring others into those special memories. But not all hunting stories are created equal. Some, in fact, are a good as they are painful. Such is the case for Julian Young's hunt for a buck he called "The Big 6." After tons of encounters, years of history and trail camera photos, and a single minded focus on taking this giant whitetail, the story finally came to a bittersweet end in the spring turkey woods. Tune in for all the details and to hear the lessons Julian learned while chasing "The Big 6."

In this week’s No Lowballers podcast by GoWild presented by GunBroker.com, we’re talking all about handgun history and even let a few weird gun words fly!

In this week’s No Lowballers podcast by GoWild presented by GunBroker.com, we’re talking all about hand guns including their history and the evolution to today’s gun. Alan jumps right in with a history of hand cannons! Early hand cannons emerged in the 14th century with a flower vase design that necked down smaller. Originally designed for use with arrows, which did not work well, they evolved to anything that hurt being loaded such as: gravel, chain, or nails.

Logan goes through the timeline of early hand guns. Starting with Hand Cannons that were extremely uncontrollable and inefficient. Much of early handguns was trial and error to see what worked or didn’t work. The next evolution was Matchlock which is a very simple design but with a constant lit match it was an extremely limited design. Some of the Matchlock downfalls included being put out by rain, potentially catching your own coat on fire, or even worse – showing the enemies exactly where you are!

Jacob asks an important question about effective range of early hand guns. Allen and Logan bring up the multitude of scenarios that play into that question. Are you shooting nails or chain? Everything out of a hand-cannon would have different effective distances but overall the consensus is if within conversational distance it would be much like the modern hand gun.

We speak on the purpose of early handguns. On the battlefield hand-cannons were more to spook cavalry vs actual effectiveness. When speaking of the wheellock, generally it was more of a boutique “Bar B Q” gun. Owned mostly by very wealthy individuals who had these custom built more as a conversational piece. They were extremely inefficient to shoot, imagine shooting a 2x4!

Next, we’re talking about the flintlock! Allen speaks of some of the flintlocks you can find on Gunbroker.com along with their price ranges. Allen tells us all about the different options for early hand guns. Flintlocks, Wheellocks, Matchlocks, and even Hand Cannons are available at a wide price range depending where you’d like to start your collection. He speaks on the Germanic Wheellock which was the sweet spot of them being produced.

 We close the episode with all sorts of weird gun words. Touch-holes?? Nipples?? What are some of your favorite weird gun words?

On this week's episode I was joined by Jeff Cordero!  You may have seen Jeff on YouTube where he makes some really great content regarding archery and hunting but you may also have seen him working in the pit on the racetrack for the 24 car on the weekends.  Jeff and I had a really fun conversation about life, archery, hunting and more! 

We begin this episode by getting an introduction to Jeff and hear how he is in the position he is with his job in the Nascar world.  This was a unique and refreshing conversation, which I am thrilled Jeff shared with us.  Following this up, we get into when Jeff picked up a bow and started hunting.  You can hear the passion and love he has for heading out west hunting elk, but also how much he enjoys hunting whitetails in North Carolina.  This past year Jeff was the 1st Phorm athlete winner of their outdoor challenge they held where he competed in archery and fitness activities and won $10,000!  We get caught up about that event, TAC events and where he will be hunting this upcoming year.  With his job schedule Jeff has some hard dates to go in and out of the field.  So, hearing how he plans these trips and prepares was awesome!  We wrap things up hearing the importance of learning to work on your own bow equipment or at the minimum learn to tie in a d-loop, etc.  I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and I believe you will as well! Jeff is a good dude, who loves archery and hunting.  We seem to have a lot in common…..So, tune in and listen to some stories and a fun conversation with Jeff!  Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week!

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan talks with the master of mock scrape hunting, Troy Pottenger about the history and strategy when using mock scrapes. Troy explains that he started to experiment with mock srapes while in high school when he identified a community scrape on his family ranch. This led to him locating other community scrapes on public land while scouting and shed hunting. Did we mention that Troy spends most of his time hunting in the mountainous terrain of northern Idaho, Montana, and Washington? Listen to Troy as he talks about the learning curve he went through when it comes to the strategy using mock scrapes to locate, identify, and even hold big mature bucks in a specific area. This is one of those episodes that will leave you wanting to give Troy's mock scrape hunting strategy a try. Enjoy and share!

October is fast approaching and on this episode of Michigan Wild Nate and Drew Hasler talk about the upcoming season. This is an introduction podcast for Drew to understand his tactics and passion for bowhunting whitetails in Michigan.

They both share a lease in Illinois and are excited for the upcoming fall. Having similar mindsets with how they bowhunt out of state and in their home state of Michigan makes for great conversation.

Drew also has had great success targeting bucks in early October in Michigan. He breaks down the mindset with striking early and setting up his property for that success. That success stemmed from a mindset change and not being afraid of some sweat equity thru habitat improvements.

Bowhunting at a high level is something Drew has done for multiple years and look forward to more episodes with him on Michigan Wild.

It's an action packed show this week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast! John starts things off with a bold prediction for this year's deer season you are going to want to hear. After that, Oklahoma State University Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management Assistant Professor Colter Chitwood joins the show to talk about a few research projects he is involved with around the state of Oklahoma and beyond. The first topic the guys discuss is a research project following pronghorn in the Oklahoma Panhandle. Colter and his team have been collaring and tracking pronghorn to learn more about their home ranges, fawn recruitment, and most importantly, whether or not the population is declining or not. 

After a nice long chat about pronghorn, Colter talks about another similar research project on wild turkeys. It is no secret that numbers appear to be declining across much of the country and especially in the southeastern United States, and Colter sheds some light on a few reasons why a decline may be taking place, and some practical things hunters and conservationists can do to have a positive impact on those populations.

And just because why the heck not, John and Colter finish the episode off with some good old wolf talk. Colter is fortunate enough to work on a grey wolf population study on Prince of Wales Island off the coast of Alaska. John talks a little bit about his experience with wolves in the north west while in college, and the guys talk about how sometimes the biggest obstacle in managing a species is just how cute they are.

 In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, Derek talks all about his recent TN trip public hunting for black bears. He packed on the miles scouting, and eventually found the ideal spot for a bear! Did you know that bears eat yellow jackets? All signs point to yes! Miles on the boots and a little electronic help from the NextDoor app and he had all the signs on where to go!

Do whitetails hate bears? Derek speaks on his trip and how he saw deer signs everywhere he saw signs of bears. His hypothesis is that there’s so few bears compared to deer that they don’t really bother each other. Would you think the bear population would deter whitetail from certain places?

We talk about public hunting and who gets the worm when hunting public land. If you put in the miles your chances of success definitely seem to grow exponentially. Make sure you check OnX, nothing worse than putting the miles in only to realize there’s private land close to where you hiked into!

Hunting season starts just next month for many in the whitetail's range. Stands are being hung, velvet pics are rolling in, and hit lists are being built. Unless you hunt large parcels of primo whitetail ground, you might think that being able to target and hunt specific bucks just isn't a possibility on your property. Well Nate Thomas from the Missouri Woods & Water podcast has been successful doing just that for a number of years on the small parcels he hunts. Though the deer aren't necessarily living on Nate's farms, he's still found a way to build his season around targeting top tier bucks. In this episode, Nate lays out his process for locating, building a plan, and executing when it counts on big bucks.

On this episode of the Hunting Gear Podcast, Dan is joined by returning guest Jacob Coons about hunting gear that is Made In The USA. The conversation revolves around whether or not hunters make their purchasing decisions based off where the hunting product was manufactured. The guys break down price points in specific product categories, product durability, manufacturing stereotypes, and much more. The guys also give their opinions about how they choose their hunting gear and if being made in the US holds any weight.

In this week’s No Lowballers podcast by GoWild presented by GunBroker.com, we’re talking all about machine guns including their history and how we got to modern machine guns. Logan gets right into it and dispels a big myth: The Gatling gun is not a machine gun! This helps us define what a machine gun is and what it isn’t. When did the world’s first fully automatic machine gun come out and who invented it? It came out at a pivotal time and completely changed modern warfare. Find out where you can go view some of the earliest machine guns. 

In World War I we saw several of these early machine guns enter the playing field, including the Maxim MG0 used by the German army, the Lewis Gun used by American and British troops, and the Browning M1917 used by the United States. These early models were big and heavy and we’re definitely a crew-served weapon. 

By World War II we started to see some advancements in technology and a few more machine guns hitting the battlefield, including the Browning M2 used by many nations and the MG42 introduced by Germany and feared by the Allies. We outline the differences between belt-fed, box-fed, and pan-fed guns and which ones were meant for anti-personnel and anti-material purposes. We then move into the Vietnam War era talking about the M60. 

Over time, machine guns have become smaller, lighter, and more portable, but many of the attributes from the early foundational firearms are still utilized in today’s modern armaments. Allen jumps in to talk about the design of these different machine guns and how they would dissipate heat, either through water or air cooling, or swapping barrels. Logan mentions that many of these guns were adapted in the field over the years as servicemen figured out how to best use their weapons in innovative ways, like using them in aircraft. When aircraft went from being an observation tool to an offensive weapon, the machine guns went with them.

Jacob asks an important set of questions we all want to know: Can we own a machine gun, where do we find one, and what’s the expected purchase price to buy one? Logan outlines the legalities and what the process looks like. Allen then speaks to the popular machine guns selling on GunBroker.com along with their price ranges. The process is not as intimidating as you think, and while owning a machine gun is not cheap, it’s otherwise just a pile of paperwork and playing the waiting game on the federal government. Another way to get the machine gun look and feel is by picking up a belt-fed semi-automatic firearm, like the FN M249s. Allen jokes about the hardest part of owning a machine gun … tune in to find out what that is!

As usual, we close the episode by hearing from Allen on whatever weird, interesting, and obscure guns have sold on GunBroker this past week!

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick sits down with Jeremiah Doughty, the man behind From Field to Plate.  Jeremiah and Nick have very similar views on wildgame and life even though they are on opposite sides of the country.  Jeremiah shares stories from the field, and his passions around food.  This episode is an absolute must listen as we prepare for our upcoming seasons,get ready to be fired up  on this episode of Huntavore.

Jeremiah Doughty is a return guest on the show. Jeremiah is the mind behind From FIeld to Plate, all kinds of content surrounding wildgame and how to prepare it.  Nick and Jeremiah chat about some of the foundations of why they hunt.  The pursuit of real food they feed their families.  Sometimes the simple truth gets overlooked, and this chat is a refreshing reminder as we prepare gear, weapons, and make room in the freezer.  Are you preparing for the “after the shot” work as much as the scout?  While this episode doesn't have any specific recipe focus, the idea of gleaning “just another meatball”  off your kill is important.  Full utilization takes effort, creativity, and time.  For more from Jeremiah, check out his material at fromfieldtoplate.com

This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman we chatted with Garrett Regalski, co-owner of PABoyzOutdoors social media page.  Garrett eats, sleeps, and breathes goose hunting, and we have a good old fashioned B.S. session on the matter.  Garrett talks about last season's success from multiple limits to multiple bands.  This year may require a slight adjustment to time available with a new job in place, which he touches on briefly.  We discuss essential gear versus time and money wasters, decoy spreads and well camouflaged blinds, and do you really need to pattern a goose gun?  Learn from Garrett by his experience, and get fired up for the season right around the corner!

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 185 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by a good friend of mine, Bryant Lyon from America’s Best Bowstrings.  I have known Bryant the last four years and we have a ton in common outside of the hunting world.  It was great catching up with him and also picking his brain on what is happening at ABB/Helix and how he is preparing for this upcoming hunting season. Bryant mainly hunts Ohio and has the opportunity to hunt some great land that starting right now he will begin to keep tabs on for this year. In this episode we dive into various topics covering glassing, handling the moment, overcoming the buck drought, what you should be doing now with your bowstrings and getting your broadheads tuned. 

We get an introduction to Bryant and you will hear the two of us catch up about life, fitness and what we currently are doing right now preparing for this upcoming season.  Bryant shares how ABB is extremely busy right now and some new items they released to help us bowhunters.  To go along with the chat, Bryant shares some key technical attributes that ABB offers with their strings that I believe is overlooked when it comes to great arrow flight.  So, tune in and listen to some whitetail stories and a fun conversation with Bryant!  Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week! 

Thanks again for all the support and best of luck out there and Antler Up!

Trevor Johnson of My World Outdoors is this week's guest on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast. Trevor is a southwest Oklahoman who has a passion for whitetail deer and is fortunate enough to get to hunt elk on a consistent basis near the Wichita Mountains. Trevor and John start off by talking about some of the differences in hunting whitetails on opposite sides of the state, and the two surprise each other with how different deer act in the big timber versus the open mesquite country. While the terrain and some behavior varies, there are also several traits that seem to remain true no matter where you chase mature whitetails.

The second half of the episode focuses on the special and rare Oklahoma elk. Trevor is fortunate enough to have access to some amazing elk hunting opportunities that are hard to find. He talks about the different methods he has used to hunt them over the years, and how they have opened the doors to opportunities in the outdoor industry. This is a great episode with a great guy that you won't want to miss.

Dr. Bradley Johnson and his three friends embark on an annual adventure into the Beartooth Mountains of Montana. The signs at the trailhead caution folks to “Be Bear Aware”, yet in the past, Brad and his cohorts have had only one encounter with a Black Bear. Despite the low odds of an attack, they arm themselves with bear spray. 

During the final stretch of the 8 mile hike to their chosen camp site, Brad is anxious to get there and pushes forward, separating him from the rest of the crew. As he begins to crest the final summit, he spots not one, but two Grizzly Bears no more than 30 yards away. Before Brad can formulate a plan to distance himself, he can quickly see they are both in a full charge. As he scrambles to remove the safety of the bear spray, a lesson learned from childhood prompts him to make his next move. A move that very well played a role in saving his life. 

As the rest of the story unfolds, it can only be explained as a series of miracles. Brad gives credit to the strength and wisdom that GOD gave to all of those involved in ensuring his survival. This gripping story will have you on the edge of your seat.

Lincoln Rohn, owner of Packer Maxx, came into the studio this week on Michigan Wild. Nate and Lincoln talk about Lincoln’s passion for deer hunting which started in the late 80’s. Ultimately his passion for deer hunting led him to be the owner of Packer Maxx. Packer Maxx was a company that Lincoln purchased after using the product for a handful of years on his family’s property. A tool that has been key to increasing his habitat and deer quality for years as well. Lincoln gives a good breakdown of all the different products at Packer Maxx and the uses for them. He also owns Five 2 Outdoors, a food plot seed company. So his local shop in West Michigan is really a one stop shop for all food plot needs. Nate explains how he has been there and finds great value in the opportunity to see and feel a product before purchasing. The podcasts ends with lots of whitetail talk, including the great fall Lincoln had last year. Some big whitetails hit the dirt. If you are looking to aid in your food plat game make sure to look to Packer Maxx and Five 2 Outdoors.

In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, we talk about our recent fishing trip to North Carolina with Jason from Timber Ninja Outdoors. We made a quick dash to North Carolina, arriving at the campsite at night where a whole can of worms was opened. Did we mention that it was wet? Rain, treacherous waters, and bears? made for a REALLY interesting trip, listen in to see just how crazy it was! 

The river really threw it all at it on this quick trip. It beat us up both mentally and physically but we toughed it out and everyone had some success. We learned the ins and outs of where the fish wanted to strike at, even if it wasn’t always convenient for us to hit those spots. This trip was definitely a doozy but Jason invited us back, next time for a longer trip, and we’ll definitely be going back!

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan talks with Derek Demun of Southern California about finding a passion for hunting after a life-changing accident left him in a wheelchair. Derek talks about his youth when he was a diehard snowboarder who traveled the globe looking for adventure at high elevations and snowy peaks.  When he was 21 he fell off of a roof while working construction, the next 3 to 5 years were an extremely dark period in his life. With help from his family and his faith, another life changing opportunity laid before him. Derek was invited on a Kansas deer hunt with his father and uncle, the results, going back to California with a new passion and a new purpose.

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh talks with Pierce Nelles of Wisconsin about their 2023 hunt plans and "shooter" standards.

Chances are, the 2023 deer season is going to look a little different than previous years for Josh and Pierce. They both had great deer seasons last, tagging nice bucks with their bows and learning a ton along the way. This year, both of them find themselves in a growing season as entrepreneurs. This means full plates and less time to hunt. With this in mind, the guys chat about their hunting plans for the fall, what their personal goals are for a "shooter" buck, and they even call their shot, choosing the date and location they believe they'll find success. Lots of good stuff here to get you dialed in for deer season!

On this episode of the Hunting Gear Podcast, Dan is joined by Jeremy Dinsmore, the host of the Antler Up podcast, about getting their gear ready for the upcoming season. The guys discuss their transition from wrist releases to thumb releases, and why they like it. The guys also get in to a discussion about their favorite climbing methods for both saddle and treestand hunting. On top of that they talk about practicing shooting their bow out of their saddle set up. Just another great conversation about hunting gear and equipment preparing for the upcoming season. Enjoy

In this week’s No Lowballers podcast by GoWild presented by GunBroker.com, we’re talking about guns that have connections … to the mob and organized crime. If you love the mobster scene and the classic mob movies, find out which of these guns you can take home to own yourself from GunBroker.com! What are some of the best mob movies of all time? 

We kick things off talking about the Thompson Submachine Gun a.k.a. The Tommy Gun. Is the Tommy Gun the quintessential gangster gun?? Did you know the background of this story starts near Louisville? Kentucky certainly has several more ties to the mob era–find out what other connections those are! Host Logan from High Caliber History recounts the exciting story of the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, an event that made the Tommy Gun famous. Also be sure to check out The Mob Museum in Las Vegas to learn more about this and other historic events that shaped American history. Why did the military have no interest in this firearm when they first considered it?

Next, we’re talking about some of the handguns that have been associated with mobsters but also have had their place in the military, like the Colt 1911. Logan mentions a recognizable name in the firearm industry who has a highly unusual, ultra-modified 1911. Allen talks about why mobsters were able to out-gun police and law enforcement. We also take a hands-on look at the Smith & Wesson Military & Police .38 Special, a revolver that eventually went on to become the Smith & Wesson Model 10. We also peeked at a Colt 1903 Hammerless .32ACP. These calibers seem small by our standards today, but in their prime they brought plenty of knockdown power. Brad makes a great point about why both mobsters and military soldiers enjoyed these pocket pistols. 

We also talked about the game-changing National Firearms Act of 1934 and how that shaped firearm purchases for the future. This is when the federal government started to place restrictions, and more came with the Gun Control Act of 1968 and then the Hughes Amendment in 1986.

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 184 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by a good friend of mine Josh Kirchner.  Josh, known as the Dialed in Hunter on his social media accounts, has made a name for himself in the hunting world over the last decade with his hard work and determination.  Josh was a guest on the podcast all the way back on episode 11!  It is awesome to have him on again and catch up with the record button hit.  Within this episode we get into a fun conversation that will not only apply to western hunters getting ready to leave to hopefully fill a tag in the short couple weeks, but also whitetail hunters.  Some key topics we discussed in this podcast are how the goal to be more consistent started his Dialed in Hunter endeavor, his insanely successful 2022 season, going beyond e-scouting, planning on what, where and when to hunt specific states and thinking outside the box on a bow hunt.

We get an introduction to Josh  and how his love for the outdoors really came about.  Moving from NY and hunting AZ with his father.  From here we get into starting his writing career and how getting into this specific space is a difficult one.  From there we dove into some great stories from this past season where Josh was extremely successful.  It seemed like no matter where Josh was hunting or what animal it didn’t take long from him to notch his tag.  Then we get into what Josh does to go beyond just looking at the map and how he leveled up his game when it comes to e-scouting. Following this discussion we get into an article that Josh wrote for GoHunt and how no matter what species you are hunting or where you are located you will get something out of this topic, I promise.  

Check it out and let us know what you think!  Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week! 

Thanks again for all the support and best of luck out there and Antler Up!

Welcome to the 100th episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman!  It's hard to believe it's been 2 years already since the beginning of this show.  Thank you all for your support!  On this week's episode, Mitch is joined by 3 guests he has personal connection to - his father Jeff Shirk, and his two grandfathers Raymond Shirk and Kenny Mengel.  Mitch grew up hunting with these three, harvesting his first deer with them, and hearing all the stories of their hunting experiences at each of their deer camps.

We begin by telling the stories of how each camp began, one of which started out of an old school bus!  We share many stories including first deer, first bucks, first bears, camp comradery, family fun, and more.  You'll get to hear their perspective how deer hunting has changed over the last 65+ years for better or worse.  Stories of changing deer populations, changing hunting dynamics, but all centered around deer camp and those annual traditions that make Pennsylvania hunting heritage strong.
