This week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, John is changing things up a little bit for the opening weekend of the 2024 hunting season in Oklahoma. Due to not having the quality of bucks he has grown accustomed to chasing on his home place this year, he is hitting the road (or water) and trying something a little different. John plans to take his boat into a more remote portion of Oklahoma and chase public land bucks and bears. Thanks to some updated regulation changes this year, a bear tag is now included in the lifetime license package, meaning John and other lifetime license holders are able to hunt bears without buying additional tags. John plans to use his boat to access hard to reach public land places in hopes of tagging either a whitetail buck or black bear in south eastern Oklahoma with his bow.

‍

In this week's episode I have Sam Brown on to share the story of the buck he recently killed in North Carolina. This story is absolutely CRAZY. As I'm sure many of you are aware, in bow hunting sometimes everything goes perfect, and sometimes it doesn't. Some hunter's who place a less than ideal shot on a deer will attempt to track the animal, and once they fail to recover the animal, the story ends there. That is not the case with this story. Sam's story is an example of perseverance and dedication to completing a harvest ethically, after making the mistake of a non-lethal shot on a deer. You definitely don't want to miss this one. As always, thanks for listening!

In this episode, Chris and Angelo discuss their recent hunting experiences. They also discuss gear modifications and the importance of learning from mistakes. They clarify how listeners can leave reviews for their podcast and share their plans for expanding their YouTube presence. 

This week's conversation covers DIY projects, scent control, and the challenges of filming while hunting. The Boys go on to discuss their first few sits of the hunting season including what did and didn’t go well. Angelo shares a detailed account of his successful hunt, including the lessons learned from using a crossbow while working a camera in a saddle and why he will not be doing it again. Though Chris did not get a shot on his first sit, he talks about the smaller successes he had during the hunt as well as some tweaks he needs to make to his gear and climbing process. He also touches on some of the changes in the woods including the changes in cover and the recent increase in deer sign. 

The #TRI-STATETRIFECTA leaderboard gets updated. The Wing and Tail Boys welcome and encourage any feedback listeners can give on any platform. The episode concludes with anticipation for the upcoming New York hunting season and the commitment to continuous improvement in their hunting practices. 

Success is just a commitment away!

In this week's episode we'll be re-capping both an unsuccessful and a successful hunt from opening week in the state of Maryland with our previous guest Mike Rebert! 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! Mike also killed a doe the same week, utilizing the same terrain feature. We talk about how bucks will use even the slightest changes in topography to their advantage to move through the woods undetected. We also talk about how keying in on water sources in areas that water is a limited resource can be killer. This was a great conversation with Mike and I hope you all enjoy listening to it!

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.

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.

In today's episode, Jacob has returned from his Colorado elk hunt and reports that he was in fact bluff charged by a bull moose. He was not harmed...but neither were any elk during this hunt unfortunately. That said, there were some key themes and key takeaways from the hunt that Jacob addresses. Notably, how his mindset evolved and how he maintained a focus on the journey, demonstrated patience, and held a high level of confidence despite in the field set backs.

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.
