The best time of the year is here! The wind is brisk, cool, and from the north, the ag fields are being cut, and the bucks are starting to cover more ground, laying down sign and  in search of the first hot does.  This can only mean one thing, the pre-rut is upon us!

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh talks with Pierce Nelles about their thoughts, plans, and strategies for hunting the pre-rut. The guys discuss the deer they're chasing, their thoughts and reactions about an upcoming episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast they just recorded, and take lots of different rabbit trails on all sorts of pre-rut topics. Enjoy!

On today’s show with GunBroker.com, we’re covering anything and everything in trench warfare. First up on the slate? The big guns – artillery. Artillery was used mainly to bust up troops bunkered down in trenches. As the design of trenches evolved so did the artillery, during WW1 the proximity fuse was refined for artillery to pepper the troops below with shrapnel. Artillery was used in conjunction with trench mortars which were lobbed super high to hopefully come down in the trenches and rain down molten hot shrapnel directly inside. Shrapnel from artillery and mortars was absolutely devastating on the battlefield, causing all sorts of flesh tearing, bone crushing wounds.

Next up, we get up close and personal. You guessed it, bayonets. A common misconception on bayonets is that they’re just a giant knife, but they are not made for that at all. They can somewhat take an edge but the type of steel they are made from is more designed for thrusting and penetrating through body armor. While still holding a place on the battlefield today, it seems that it has migrated more towards being a traditional piece, with a much more diminished role. Post-WW1, standard bayonet size has shrunk dramatically. Starting at a 16” blade standard issue in WW1 all the way down to a 10” blade in modern warfare. The shrinkage in blade size caused many of these to be ground down to a 10” blade, which created a very large subset of collecting in bayonets with original Model 1905s still in their 16” configuration quite rare to see!

Closing out our episode we dive into “Trench Shotguns.” If you’re shopping for a WW1 shotgun on GunBroker.com, you may want to listen in to this episode beforehand. On the flip side of that, if you’re a seller of a Model 12 or 1897 we apologize ahead of time! A long standing belief of WW1 shotguns were that they were used as a “trench broom” to go through and clear trenches of enemies, but due to new research it seems that the primary use of WW1 shotguns was actually rear guard duty for guarding prisoners in camps. Allen goes into the top Model 12s and 1897 shotguns from the WW1 era sold on GunBroker.com and the price range that they went for recently.

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick is ecstatic about his recent big buck kill.  He doesn’t hold back on the details and drama of that Saturday here in early October.  So sit back and enjoy a good ol’ buck story on this episode of Huntavore.

How about that!  13 years of hunting a small farm in Michigan that butts up to state land, and Nick finally connects on a brute!  Taking tips and tricks along the way, connecting encounters, and learning from close calls, came together in early October.  Without spoiling the story, Nick had a plan for the hunt, and was going to stick with it.  Like any good story, a few obstacles got in his way, and he had to overcome adversity.  Ultimately this story includes friends, family, and bonding with his boys.  Hope you enjoy my tale of the Michigan 8 point that DIDN'T get away.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan continues his quest for information discussing early season cold fronts with returning guest Mark Kenyon. Mark shares his insight and experiences hunting during this timeframe. He shares his opinions on deer movement and behavior in a variety of locations he has hunted over the years. He gets in-depth about his strategy and if property type and pressure have anything to do with the amount of movement a deer hunters sees. Another excellent episode full of informations and entertainment. Enjoy!

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 195 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by PA native and a damn good hunter, Ryan Glitsky!  Over the last couple of years Ryan has really put himself out there when it comes to being one of the hardest working hunters.  Between putting the miles on scouting and hunting, Ryan sure has a lot to offer when it comes to advice.  We didn’t waste any time in this episode as Ryan shares what you need to be doing right now in the woods to be successful!  

We begin this episode by hearing Ryan share the importance of pre-season and in-season scouting that helps guide his decisions for the where and when to hunt.  Ryan shares trends that he has observed over the past few seasons between trail cam data and time on stand that will help you right now during this week in October.  Ryan discusses what he does when it comes to hunting mature and cautious bucks and a whole lot more!

In this episode, Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) and Skip Sligh (Iowa Whitetail) discuss technical hunting strategies around building better hunting locations. Skip explains the reality of Iowa whitetails, deer hunting, and explains what permits him to have success on his own farm and those that hunt with him. Skip details the specifics on locations he hunts and how to improve a property for better bulletproof setups.

Skip discusses entry and exit, and when it is too risky to hunt certain areas. Skip explains the basics, but essentials, to getting into a hunting area. Skip explains how he has made consistent access points that relate to his daily chores and other work on the farm. Skip discusses the features he creates or natural topographies to his hunting location that he uses during his hunts.

Skip explains his specific farm and how neighboring pressure can disrupt plans to hunt a specific deer. Jon explains his tactics on a particular deer and how he decides to go after a mature buck. Skip details how he plans on hunting a mature buck in mid-October and why he shifts his odds with multiple setups. Skip explains how to shrink a deer’s core range and make landscape improvements to ensure hunting becomes easier.

Skip and Jon discuss introducing children to hunting, teaching success in different ways to our kids, and giving youth the chance to make their own way in the woods. Skip explains why children do not fully appreciate large antlered deer and his goals with his own son. Skip ends with when he is hunting and how he plans on killing a 7.5-year-old mature buck.

Jon and Skip both talk about success stories this season so far and what we can do as hunters to continue to perpetuate success in our communities.

The late season junkie tags one early! This week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, John tells the story of his early season archery buck he named Stone. John is not a big early season hunter. In fact, he has repeatedly preached how early season is not a good time to hunt for the majority of people out there. But, leave it to mother nature and a buck named stone to make a fool out of him. With drought like conditions, a major storm, and a buck who held on to his summer pattern a little too long, things worked in John's favor only 5 days into the 2023 deer season.

In this episode, John talks about the off season scouting and habitat work that laid the groundwork for his October hunt. With the dynamic of his neighbors changing, John has had to rethink his habitat and property layout. Those changes and a lot of hard work in the spring payed off with a solid buck at 18 yards on October 5th! By far the earliest in the season John has ever tagged a mature buck, or any whitetail for that matter.

Today’s show opens with us talking about gear searching on GunBroker.com. Dan daydreams about a new .30-.30 that he’s had his eyes on for a while. We talk about maintenance for our outdoor equipment for this upcoming hunting season, it can get pretty expensive quickly if you’re not careful! Brad talks about putting time in behind the bow in preparation for his upcoming hunting season, he had to swap out his sight but he’s still shooting pretty consistent groups out to 30 yards which is as far as he’ll be shooting on his hunting spot. Brad’s new hunting spot is a tree farm that has some positive outlook for this season, almost like clockwork every afternoon at 6:00 PM it’s a deer party! Brad’s first day in the stand was a super interesting one, deer were absolutely everywhere all evening. He ended up stuck in the stand having to wait until deer cleared out of his area, listen to this episode Sponsored by GunBroker.com to see what showed up after he dropped his bow to the ground!

Next up Brayden goes into his weekend hunting the first cold front of the year. The temperatures were all over the place from sweating when arriving at the stand to cold by night. It seemed like the perfect recipe for a great evening of deer. The only caveat? The wind was all over the place which may have led to a slower evening of deer. Brayden’s new saddle setup caused him a little bit of a headache during the first sit this year but once he fine tunes his new setup it’s going to be super convenient for him, listen in to see what he changed on his setup this year. We talk about the best positions to sit in the tree saddle to be the most comfortable. We all have some interesting ways to get comfy but Dan’s may take the cake. He calls it the koala bear; you absolutely have to tune in to hear his description of this!

Closing out we talk about waterfowl hunting. Brayden and his crew were drawn for an absolute sweet duck hunting spot this year. We talk about just how different duck hunting is in different parts of the country and how everyone seems to hunt ducks a little differently. We talk about how waterfowl hunting is a different type of “fun” hunting. It’s often miserable when out in the woods but the good hunts always make good stories afterwards.

Nate does a solo episode on Michigan Wild this week to recap his last 7 days of bowhunting. Once again this week was filled with its share of drama. Lightning struck twice, 5 days apart, on another mature buck Jake. Nate's son Henry named this deer this summer and is a deer Nate had history with last fall. By October 10th Nate had sent 2 arrows at target bucks and didn't seal the deal. To hear the story of Jake and how the story didn't have a storybook ending once again this week give it a listen.

Opening day is in the rear view and for many, early season aspirations have turned to broken dreams. Now the deer movement seems to have dried up in all of our tried and true spots. What happened? Is this the (cue the ominous music) OCTOBER LULL?! Well, yes and no. Studies Show that deer movement increases throughout the month of October with no decrease. But the experience of many hunters is that deer sightings by mid October have slowed to a trickle. What's going on here? 

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh talks with Sam Bilhorn, Jake Hendrickson, and Greg Kazmierski of Whitetail Partners about the dreaded (or nonexistent) October Lull. The guys talk about what goes into hunters' perception of a lull in deer movement and how they would adjust to target a mature buck during the middle of October.

On today’s show with GunBroker.com, we’re talking famous firearm flops! Guns that had huge potential to change the industry, but just could never gain the steam. We start off with the Colt Model 1855 Revolving Rifle, which was a super interesting concept, but design flaws kept it from really taking off. One of the biggest problems was cased ammunition not being invented yet, as well as manufacturing issues straight from the factory. Now, remade with a modern take in the Heritage Rancher Carbine, these guns have gained some popularity and there’s still one common problem, no one knows how to hold them when shooting!

Next up, we delve into the 1960s, The Great Space Race! Astronauts, rockets, and Gyrojet Rocket Pistols! A rocket fuel powered firearm that was extremely complex and awesome, but just too early for its time. Arguably one of the best names for a handgun ever, it was hammer fired, but the hammer was in front of the cartridge that then drove it into the firing pin. The downside is that you didn’t get your maximum velocity until the bullet was downrange.

The Remington Model R51 had an absolute fantastic lead up to its launch, tons of good content and marketing hype that really made this gun a must have, but there was a downside? The gun was subpar at best. Different from the original R51, it was unfortunately a complete flop for Remington, who swiftly buried any evidence of its existence under the rug. A great conversation piece in firearm history, however, they can be picked up for a fantastic deal on GunBroker.com.

Closing out, we talk about the Heckler & Koch G11. Caseless ammunition has stumped manufacturers for years and with the H&K G11, it was no exception. Ahead of its time, with a large failure to launch these guns are extremely hard to find, however other caseless ammunition does sometimes pop up on GunBroker.com. Still to this day the caseless ammunition has not been figured out or mastered, hopefully one day in the future! Allen goes over some of the examples of these guns and ammunition you can find today on GunBroker.com.

Ever feel like you're just behind the action? Like you're always just a few days behind, hunting last weekend's sign when the deer seem to have moved on? Or maybe you've fallen into the trap of following trail camera photos from this year and you're often too late to the party? Situations like these are why many hunters are beginning to rely more and more on historical data. Using historical data to tracks certain bucks' seasonal patterns or when certain areas seem to switch on every season has garnered a good bit of attention in the last few years. And there's one good reason for this: it works! But it only works if you gather, analyze, and track the right data in the right way and then ACT when the time is right. 

In this episode of the Southern Way Hunting Podcast, Josh talks with Brandon Barlow about using historical data to hone in on big bucks! Brandon has lots of experience tracking specific bucks and specific areas and has been able to consistently capitalize on his intel when the time is right. In fact this season, he nearly called his shot and was able to take a public land stud in September. 

In this episode, the guys discuss Brandon's overall approach to historical data, how he uses both SD and cell cameras, how mock scrapes play into his strategy, and how he times his hunts to make sure he's there when the buck he's after finally shows. This is a FANTASTIC episode for anyone looking to take their hunting strartegy to the next level. Enjoy!

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 194 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by PA native and good friend of mine, Chris Weist!  Over the last couple of years Chris has really dialed in his hunting strategies that has led to more encounters and more success.  Chris for example was successful last year killing 4 bucks in 3 different states all with different tactics! As hunters, we try our best to put in the work to scout and make up the best gameplan we can to find success.  Well, sit back and enjoy this episode as Chris shares tactics, stories and scenarios that will help you this season!

We begin this episode by hearing Chris share the importance of post season scouting that helps guide his decisions for the upcoming season.  He uses his time scouting to get an understanding of the woods and how the deer in that area specifically use the terrain.  Chris keeps tabs on the data he collects during the post season and during the season, especially when it comes to trail cameras.  This allows him to map out where and when to hunt.  We discuss the critical component of access and plans for hunting specific spots this fall.  You will hear a ton of information when it comes to scrapes! Strategies, stories and scenarios will be shared that I hope a lot of you will be able to relate to and be able to implement this upcoming month! Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week! 

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

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch sits down with Aaron Hepler for a whitetail hunting B.S. session.  Aaron is a diehard bowhunter and family man.  He spends countless hours in the offseason scouting and running cameras on public land in the big woods.  Camera data is excellent, but it becomes easy to rely on obtaining a picture first before having the confidence to hunt a spot.  Instead of reacting to a camera after a picture is taken, Aaron talks about being proactive using annual trail camera data.  This means taking historical information from cameras and hunter observation and hunting that specific window of time when things are heating up.  All that and much more.  Be ahead of the deer and don't be chasing!

This episode of Michigan Wild is a recap of the last seven days of hunting. To kick off the first week Drew Hasler, once again joins Nate, and they both go over their week of hunting. Drew had a few high quality hunts even with the adversity he faced after opening night. He stayed strategic and ended up seeing a potential shooter and had a new target buck show up on cam this week. 

Nate's week was very eventful and he had some great hunts. He saw 2 target bucks enter one of his food plots on a hang and hunt Thursday night. Nate dives into the hunt he had that evening and why he felt Thursday was the night. Unfortunately it ended with an epic fail... a swing and a miss. 

Both Drew and Nate are looking forward to this upcoming week and are optimistic for getting on their target deer.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan talks with Curtis Reynolds of Ontario about a seven year chase for a big six point buck. Curtis shares where this buck lives, the terrain he called home, and how he kept track of this deer over the years. As a 5 1/2 year old, Curtis had an opportunity but missed the shot. Curtis believes that this spooked the buck enough for him to shift his home range 7km to a different farm that luckily he had access to hunt. After relocating this buck, Curtis was able to put a plan together, and the rest is history. Listen along for the whole story! Enjoy and share!

We have our first successful hunt episode of the fall! Special guest Amy McTauge joins John this week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast to talk about her opening day buck. Amy is still fairly new to hunting, but likes to challenge herself every year with a new method or weapon of some kind. This year's challenge was to harvest a deer with her bow from a tree stand, and as you can see it didn't take her long to accomplish that goal!

Matt Johnson joins Nate on this episode of Michigan Wild. The two guys sit down and go over Matt's upbringing with hunting. He started hunting in the UP at a traditional deer camp. Matt and Nate also talk about his first black bear and first buck he shot at camp.

The conversation leads into Matt getting more serious with deer hunting after college. He started passing deer waiting for more mature bucks. By doing so that leads us to the story of Waldo. Waldo is a buck Matt had multiple years of history with and actually rekindled Nate and Matt's friendship. Give the episode a listen to hear about Waldo and how big deer don't always bring out the worst in people.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan is solo and talks about his access route strategy, using thermals, and playing the wind. Dan breaks down how he access's some if his favorite stand locations in both "Big Woods" and "River Bottom". He explains in detail how he uses the terrain in his favor and not walking through areas that hold deer. Dan talks about his "90 degree" rule that he uses when reverse engineering his access routes and stand locations. Then, once in the stand, he discusses the importance of knowing the thermal drive and how that will react with the terrain and the predominate wind directions. This is a very detail oriented episode that you will be sure to enjoy.  

On this episode of the Hunting Gear Podcast, Dan is joined by Buddy Piland of Ozonics to discuss the evolution of company and the usage of ozone by the hunting community. Controlled ozone has been used to kill bacteria in hospitals and other medical offices for a very long time. But it wasn't until Ozonics brought their first unit to the market in the 2000's as a way hunters could manipulate their scent profile while in the field. As the company grew, they found that it played a huge role in cleaning clothing from order and bacterial as well. This is a unique multi-function product that is backed by science. Enjoy and share!

On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan wraps up the Bowfest series as he sits down with repeat guest Tom LaLond and newcomer Cole Mehney to talk about the differences and similarities between western hunting and chasing whitetails.

Cole is a Kuiu Team member and a serious western hunter. Just take a look at Cole’s instagram and you will find no shortage of amazing animals that Cole has harvested with his bow. Cole, Dan, Tom and Sam sit down to discuss what it takes to continually take mature deer in Michigan as well as the strategies and tactics used to pursue giant bucks and bulls in western states.

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick tries to get to the bottom of a few cast iron myths that have been circulating around the internet.  Smooth vs rough finish, expensive vs cheap, and folks still think using soap is ok.  Kyle puts these myths to bed along with a ton of info about our favorite cookware.  So preheat that skillet, and let the facts cook on this episode of Huntavore.

Kyle Seip has been around cast iron and metals most of his life.  Now he finds and restores vintage cast pieces both as a hobby and side business.  Kyle talks briefly about his process in using electrolysis on gunked up pans, and how a simple oven clean feature can help you start over on a damaged seasoning.  He Al breaks into several questions about cast iron and how in the long run, cast iron is far superior to any new modern material. The whole conversation is a great informative piece on care and use of your current and future cast iron pieces.

In this week’s No Lowballers podcast by GoWild presented by GunBroker.com, we’re talking Smith & Wesson innovations through the years with Mike Helms and Vince Perreault. We dive right into it with Mike giving us a rundown of the .357 and .44 magnums that came from Smith & Wesson early on. We talk about the history of the .357, how it was created, and how every other cartridge today is still measured up to it, especially in the law enforcement world. Smith & Wesson get a lot of their inspiration from ammunition partners who approach them with a cool new round looking for a firearm to match it, with the 30 Super Carry being a recent example of this.

Next up Mike shows us a Smith & Wesson Model 39. After a failed attempt with the Model 1913, Smith & Wesson pivoted and came out the gate strong with the Model 39. The Model 39 was the first 9mm pistol built in America. The Model 39 was the single stack variant with Smith & Wesson quickly producing a double stack variant in the Model 59. Although never officially adopted, the Model 39 does have some military history in a suppressed version dubbed “The Hushpuppy.” With a suppressor and a slide lock, it completely took the innovation of a double stack semi auto away turning it into a single shot but it was almost one of the quietest handguns ever made. While not as popular in the collecting world as revolvers from Smith & Wesson, Model 39’s have slowly started to build a collectible following with prices rising on the market on GunBroker.com. Vince has noticed a trend in the “nostalgia bump” with many people requesting these style guns remanufactured in today’s market as new.

Closing out, we cover a really exciting topic for Smith & Wesson. After almost 160 years in Springfield, Massachusetts, Smith & Wesson has relocated to Maryville, TN. While an extremely tough decision, Smith & Wesson did their research to make sure the new location ticked all their boxes for just where exactly they wanted to be. With the grand opening party coming up this Saturday, October 7th, 2023, they sold out all their tickets in less than a day. Distribution, plastics, assembly, and front office are all moving to Maryville with some manufacturing processes remaining in Springfield, where there is generational talent at the revolver and 1911 level for Smith & Wesson. The maiden guns coming out of Maryville should start rolling off the line at the end of October. With over 600,000 square feet of state of the art space that is laid out for maximum efficiency, Smith & Wesson absolutely cannot wait to start their engines in their new space.

It's your state's archery opener. You make the long hike back to a secluded spot where you never run into people. You know there's a big buck in the area, and that you have a good chance of running into him if you play your cards right. As you ascend the tree, you all of a sudden hear someone yelling to you. Your heart sinks as you realize there's another hunter already setup 50 yards from your tree. What do you do ? 

This, and many situations like it, happen all the time when hunting land that we don't control. The ability to adapt and overcome is essential for success on pressured land. But being adaptable is a skill that is honed, not one that necessarily comes easy. In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh talks with Aaron Hepler about adapting your hunting plans and strategy when the unexpected happens. The guys touch on public land etiquette, trail camera strategy, woodsmanship, and knowing when you're on the X and when you're just out of the game. Enjoy!

‍

For many, deer season has been in for a couple of weeks and that means one thing: the deer know they're being hunted. It doesn't take long for those bucks that were consistent all summer in our food plots or feeders to pattern us and shift their behavior. Combine this with fresh acorns on the ground and you've got a recipe for a hunting strategy disaster. Unless you adapt, that is. 

In this episode of the Southern Way Hunting Podcast, Josh talks with outdoor writer Josh Honeycutt about adapting one's hunting strategy once the pressure is on and daylight sightings begin to dwindle. If there's one big takeaway from this episode, it's that all hunting strategy is situational. There is no silver bullet. But this episode will help you adapt to many of the situations you'll encounter this fall. Enjoy!

All serious hunters know, that how you access your hunting location is one of the most important parts of any hunters strategy. If the wind is wrong or you are walking through a bedding area to get to what you think is the perfect tree, you may actually be doing more harm then good.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan is joined by Joe Jones of North Carolina to discuss his strategy towards hunting a specific buck in an area that is comprised of several small parcels. The guys walk through his access routes, knocking on doors for more access, trail camera information, and figuring out this bucks weekly pattern. Another great episode where we break down a hunting strategy on a huge whitetail buck. Enjoy and share!

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 193 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Tony Peterson!  It is always a great time to catch up with Tony over an episode.  It is no secret that Tony is a BIG fan of hunting early season whitetail. There are many factors that come into play for Tony and we get into this discussion on what to key in on to have success during the early season timeframe! 

We begin this episode by hearing Tony share some fun upcoming hunts he has in store with his daughters and some specific goals that he hopes they can achieve together this season.  Speaking of goals, Tony has a specific goal for himself and that is killing a buck in some cattail slews with the muzzleloader.  Life lessons about hunting get discussed, separating the stress of producing and just enjoying the hunt and more! When the season begins to wear you down and beat you up, Tony shares some things that can get yourself right again and off the struggle bus.  The main meat and potatoes is hunting early October and the rules to finding success NOW! Be sure to check out Tony Peterson on the Wired to Hunt podcast and his great articles over at Meateater.com.  Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week!

Bear seasons are opening throughout parts of the Northeast; New York just finished an early bear season in parts of the state, New Jersey opens Oct. 9 and Pennsylvania on Oct. 14.  When food is in abundance, your chances are the greatest to run into bears.  But even with fall bear seasons and a multitude of food sources, your statistical chance of killing a bear in PA each year is less than 2%.  How do you begin to tackle such a feat with an animal in such low numbers relative to whitetail deer?

This week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch has New Jersey native Jay Lyon back on the podcast.  Jay is a diehard bear hunter that has been successful consistently throughout the northeast harvesting bear as a solo hunter using a multitude of tactics.  Jay talks about how important it is to cast a large net scouting and not be afraid to put miles on boot leather to find the key components of a good bear hunt.  It's simple (or so it seems), find food, find cover, find bears.  What's tricky is not missing out on the hottest food source on a day-to-day basis.  This means in season scouting and good knowledge of the land, thinking one step ahead on what food becomes available during the fall.  Hunt hard, and scout harder; you'll have a better chance then you realize!

October is finally here! Many whitetail hunters have a love-hate relationship with October, especially the first few weeks of the month. With the frenzy of the rut still a few weeks off, if you haven't done your homework, mature buck sightings can be few and far between. And there are few guys out there who put in the work to get on bucks quite like Ryan Glitsky.

In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast, Josh & Pierce talk with Ryan Glitsky about Ryan's process for getting on BIG bucks. Ryan primarily hunts big woods mountain bucks in PA, and he does it at a very high level. This week, Josh and Pierce get to quiz Ryan on his approach on everything from in season scouting to trail cam strategy to when to stay put and when to make a move during the rut. This episode is FULL of good info that just might help you get on deer instead of simply watching squirrels. Enjoy!

This week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, John is joined by Keith Hammer of Stratton Seed Company to talk about their wide variety of food plot blends and how to create successful food plots even in dry conditions. One of the things that drew John to Stratton Seed Company years ago, was that most of their seeds are grown and produced locally here in the south around Stuttgart, Arkansas. Their target customers range along the southeastern United States from Oklahoma and Texas across to Georgia and Alabama. The seeds and mixes they produce are designed for the soils and climates of the south, and not the typical midwestern whitetail hunters that so many products cater to. 

Keith and John go through the lengthy product line that Stratton offers, but also dig a little deeper into specific food plot strategy. They talk about when folks in the south should plant as opposed to what most people in the midwest suggest, and Keith gives some tips for people trying to grow food plots in these drier than usual conditions Oklahoma and surrounding states have been experiencing. John also lets Keith talk about a subject that he has essentially no experience with due to his abundance of wild hogs, which is growing corn for deer. Over all, this is a great educational episode that you won't want to miss!

In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild presented by GunBroker.com, we talk all about you guessed it..hunting season! We open up with Jacob highlighting just exactly where he was when bucks started showing up on his trail cameras..spoiler alert..he wasn’t in the stand! We talk about whether or not cows have an effect on which way the deer come into a spot or if they just don’t care at all. What do you guys think? For Jacob it seems that the does do not seem to mind but the bucks seem to only want to come from that direction when the cows aren’t there. Jacob brainstorms on if he should possibly hang a second setup or move depending on where the cows may be but as we all do during bow season he worries that if he moves they’ll come right underneath the other tree!

Next up Brayden dives into his recent trip taking a youth out for youth weekend. They headed out to a private farm that he’s done some scouting on and climbed in a blind in a primo spot. Setup next to a couple soybean fields but with unfavorable wind they hoped for the best. Listen in to see what kind of luck they had! Brayden loves taking youth out hunting and really believes it’s one of the most rewarding things you can do as an outdoorsman although he does have a few spots that are off limits for the newbies!

Derek talks about not shooting the first buck he sees in Kentucky, with only one buck tag he’d like to draw his season out. However, he has been kept pretty busy lately with waterfowl, bear, and whitetail in other states that may change for this season. He talks about his upcoming bear and deer hunt in Tennessee that he has been scouting for all summer long. He’s going to do a few local hunts first to work all the kinks out before he heads south to hunt.

Closing out the guys talk about the best way to get in and out of the woods. They go over the different ways they pack in and if they wear their saddle in or wait to put it on when they get to the tree. Long hikes coming up for Derek he’s trying to make his walk in as easy as possible. What ways do you guys get into the woods?

On this episode of the Hunting Gear Podcast, Dan breaks down all the gear he uses for every hunt. From the time he gets out of bed for his scent free shower, to the walk to the tree, and the moment he is strapped in, Dan discusses just bout every product he touches.  From his scent regimen to his bow and arrow set up, to his clothing and boots, and his saddle and hang-on stand set up, Dan not only tells us what products he uses, but why he likes them. Another fun episode! If you have any questions about gear or want Dan to interview a specific company, hit Dan up on Instagram.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan chats with Josh Honeycutt to talk about his recent early season bowhunting success. Josh, an experienced hunter and outdoor writer who continues to find success every season, breaks down the strategy he used to locate and understand this bucks pattern. Thermals, wind directions, and how the terrain effected those variables, plays a huge role in how Josh got within shooting range of this big Kentucky buck.  Josh actually slept in the stand one night in order to keep from spooking the buck who was heading towards his truck. Another amazing story! Enjoy!

Have you ever thought about taking the show on the road? Loading up and crossing state or county lines to hunt new turf and try your hand at hunting unfamiliar public lands? Do you think you have what it takes to get it done on good bucks no matter where you're hunting?

In this episode of the Southern Way Hunting Podcast, Josh talks with Jeremy Aron and Daniel Lemmon of Do It Yourself Hunter about finding success WHEREVER you are. These guys spend much of the fall traveling to different states in pursuit of big whitetail bucks. And guess what? They're good at it! In this episode, the guys discuss what goes into making them successful hunters at home AND when they cross into unfamiliar territory. Enjoy!
