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!

 If you like what you’re hearing, please leave us a rate and review!!

 [UNCENSORED] by GoWild kicks off your week with shameful nonsense, inappropriate convictions, and unfiltered tales from the woods, waters and whatevers. [UNCENSORED] is a behind the scenes look at our adventures, failures, wins, embarrassing moments at trade shows, hilarious tales from the warehouse, and a good rant or three about the most recent tyranny from the Dark Lord of the Sith himself.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

During the COVID years participation in conservation organizations were at an all time high. Now that the world is somewhat returning to normalcy, conservation orgs have experienced a decline in individual and corporate participation and donations in both financial and volunteering time. On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicle, Dan is joined by the Executive Director of 2% For Conservation, Jared Frasier. Jared talks about some of the reasoning behind this decline and what needs to be done to rebound.

The meat and potatoes comes from a 2 part episode.  Andrew talks with Craig from Hero To the line to discuss the program he has created.  Hero to the Line is an organization that helps veterans adopt Labrador puppies to become working dogs, and best friends.  They will be hosting an event in Bucyrus on August 26.  Visit Hero2theline.org for more information.

The other part of the show comes from our friend Mitch Shirk, aka the Pennsylvania Woodsman, aka Johnny Appleseed.  Mitch is a trained agronomist, and works day in and day out with farmers in the Keystone State.  He is on with the guys talking about fall food plots and some of the ins and outs of what you should be considering in order to bring in the big deer.

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.

The time has come! The tags are bought, the dates are set, and it's time to figure out what on earth the goals for the 2023 "year of the whitetail" are going to be. This week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, it's time for John to set the calendar for his 2023 hunting season. John has buck tags in Oklahoma, Iowa, Nebraska, and Texas that are burning a hole in his pocket. This could truly be the season of a lifetime, or a set up for the biggest heartbreak on earth. So tune in to see when John plans to be where, and what he expects to accomplish at all of his destinations.

It is going to be a busy fall for John. Nebraska velvet bucks, prime Iowa rut hunts, west Texas brush country, and good ol Oklahoma ranch land are all on the docket for 2023. Trying to fit all these states into a single hunting season is the issue. On top of a family and a full time job, John has his work cut out for him. He's not afraid of the challenge however, and is even trying to find a way to throw a south east Oklahoma bear hunt in the mix as well!

This week Colt Start joins Nate Rozeveld on Michigan Wild. Colt has always had a passion for fishing. Compared to Nate, who has fished but never at a high level or consistently, especially in his adult life. On this episode the guys go thru the different fishing opportunities Michigan has, along with the different techniques used. Colt breaks down his approach in a few different ways depending on the species he fishes and location. Colt has also hunted whitetails at a high level and they discuss the parallels with getting on big fish and big whitetails.

A great episode with two friends that hopefully inspires others to get outside and enjoy all the opportunities Michigan has for fishing!

In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, we talk all about survival in the outdoors, specifically about History Channels’ Alone. We talk about what mistakes we believe the contestants make and how long we think we could make it alone outdoors. How long do you think you could make it? Two weeks, four weeks, or months? We speak on our ideas to structure the show better, especially with more highlights on what items the contestants take. 

Brayden spends some time talking about a recent camping trip, which was a muddy mess! The fishing was a little to be desired but the trip definitely turned out good for scouting. Brayden learned some lessons while trying to fish the currents in Driftwood River, when all along there was an oasis right around the corner!

Brayden & Dan talk about their favorite parts of Driftwood rIver, from the landscape, the fishing, and to the ends and outs of what they learned from the river. Brayden had an almost scary experience but managed to recover before things got too hairy. Dan covers some of his favorite gear to have while fishing, even if some of his modifications are questionable! We plan out our next fishing trip coming up this week, hopefully Dan gets his alarm figured out before then!

Nick is recovering from his vasectomy, which after an attack from kidney stones last fall, was a total cakewalk.  Rob joins in from his new home is South Carolina, where the guys talk a bit about fishing.  Rob likens being a sportsmen to jujitsu as in, the martial art has belts that show your progression, and how it’s about understand over who you beat.  Same goes for hunting and fish.  You earn your stripes not for the particular size of deer, but for what you know.  Conversation also jumps onto fried fish, and the many ways I can change up the same old same.  Think about Coconut Perch, I know right.  On top of that, the guys talk about how sous vide is not a one trick pony.  And Nick dreams about a Shish kabob around a smokeless fire ring.

In this week’s No Lowballers podcast by GoWild presented by GunBroker.com, we’re talking about old favorite firearms that are making a big comeback. Find out why this is occurring and who the big players are in this space. We kick things off talking about revolvers. Find out why Allen loves the Kimber K6. He also talks about the Taurus T.O.R.O Revolvers, the world’s first-ever optic-ready revolvers! Henry also introduced a very unique revolver as well. 

Lever-action rifles are also seeing a resurgence–find out what’s driving this momentum! Aside from levers in their classic form, there’s a growing market for tactical-style lever guns. Dan talks a bit about his affinity for these new-style weapons and mentions the Internet Movie Firearms Database. If you’ve ever wondered what firearm they’re using in your favorite flick, check it out! And believe it or not, there have been take-down lever guns in the past.

Why exactly are lever guns and revolvers making a comeback? Is it romance, social media memes, simplicity, personality, ammunition improvements, generational influences, market niches, modern technology, Hollywood, history, trends, throwbacks, magazine restrictions, or something else?? No matter what motivates you, there is certainly a little something for everyone in this niche market. Head to GunBroker.com to start shopping around and find your flavor!

What about these new optic-ready revolvers and lever guns; is there a rising interest because the technology in optics has finally caught up? What influence have the advancements in ammunition quality, availability, and performance allowed these older armament types to make a big comeback? We asked Allen and Logan what they’d like to see along with what their predictions are.

We also touched on newer guns that are getting vintage aesthetics. Allen also lets us know a few rarities and oddities that closed on GunBroker in the last week … don’t miss his list!

We continue Vortex Week with an amazing story about a group of guys who headed to Alaska for a once in a lifetime blacktail hunt. Mark, Sawyer, and Eric share the story of how the trip was planned, the logistic behind the trip like what gear they needed to take, how much of food to take, and where they planned to get their water from. It didn't take long for the guys to locate both deer and bear and put a game plan together for the upcoming days. But the hunt wasn't easy, the guys battle extremely wet conditions and fog for most of the hunt but were still able to find success.

For most of us, Alaska seems like an impossible place to hunt, but the guys mention that the tags were over the counter and and for the most part affordable. The travel costs however were a little bit of a different story. This is both an entertaining and educational episode, about one of my dream hunts. Be sure to check out vortexoptics.com for all of your optic needs.

Summer scouting season is in full swing.  Burning boot leather in the hot summer sun, moving cameras and gaining intel with the velvet rut around the corner, doctoring mock scrapes, all to prepare for fall.  Tackling new areas and large chunks of public land can be intimidating.  It can also be tough to read the woods this time of year with summer vegetation present.

This week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman we chat with Ryan Glitsky.  Ryan is a diehard bowhunter native to PA who spends a ton of time in the offseason scouting and learning.  Our conversation is all over the place revolving around whitetail deer and scouting during summer.  We run down many rabbit holes discussing camera locations, mock scrapes, funnels, and learning from them during a difficult time of year to read sign.  This episode should have you fired up for fall!

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 183 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by the big guy Chris Weist!  Chris is located in South Central PA, and had a crazy year last year connecting on 4 bucks in 3 different states!  When I listened to Chris on other podcasts I knew I needed to get him on the show to discuss some whitetail stuff.  This episode wraps up the mini series I did for the month of July, in what our guests are doing now to lead up to the season.  Chris was able to get ahead in the game so to speak, so it was interesting to hear how he tackles scouting multiple states for the quest to continue his whitetail success for this upcoming season.  

We get an introduction to Chris and how his postseason panned out for him.  From turkey hunting & scouting in MD, gaining access to a new property in WV, scouting his camp in OH and continuing widening the net here in PA, we hear Chris get into his plans and more.  One of the areas that Chris is focusing heavily on is improving his trad bow skills, because this year he is all in on this style of hunting.  So, when it comes to the mental preparation and technique stuff Chris walks us through his training scenarios. Following this discussion, we get into the good stuff.  We hear how he is fine tuning, connecting the dots, wind mapping in older and new areas.  Setting his expectations for summer cameras, how he strategizes specific scrapes and what he is specifically looking for in scrapes.  If you are a continued listener to the podcast you know I love this stuff. We hear stories from specific hunts and a whole lot more from Chris during this episode! 

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!

Over 90% of the sate of Wisconsin is in the midst of a significant drought right now. In fact, much of the whitetail's range is in the midst of a drought. As deer hunters and habitat managers, how should we adapt?

In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast Josh talks with Sam Bilhorn of Whitetail Partners about strategies for overcoming drought conditions. Sam shares his steps for creating water holes, how his hunting strategy will shift, and how he's approaching his property a little different given the lack of rain. 

For the rest of this conversation, listen to the July 20 episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast.

In this episode, Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) and Eric Lance (Hunt Science Podcast) discuss the upcoming next several months and how they both approach their hunting properties. Jon and Eric discuss the top activity you can do this time of year to prepare yourself for hunting season. Eric explains the activity levels on his property and how he establishes routine happenings that do not dissuade his deer.

Eric discusses the methods of collecting data on deer to include GPS collaring and related information that can benefit our hunting. Eric and Jon discuss thermal drone imagery and how important using tools like this can be to enhancing our knowledge of deer’s whereabouts. Eric discusses fawn recruitment and techniques to evaluate survival at birth and otherwise.

Jon explains how to shrink deer movement on your property. Eric explains why not to focus on deer home ranges, but focusing solely on habitat is one of the more important facets that you as a land manager can control. Eric discusses things that GPS or telemetry studies do not tell us, such as how our deer behave in  social groups. Jon explains a theory that will enhance your understanding of deer movement and why summer and winter food is critical to enticing deer onto your property.  Eric supports the idea that spring and summer food is critical to our deer and how we need to support our deer through stress periods, improving the quality of our deer throughout the following years. Eric explains the impact of predators on the landscapes. Eric provides a surprising bit of rationale on why predator control may not be on the top of your list when it comes to deer populations and survival.

It's that time of year again when I get in to my truck and head North to the Vortex Optics HQ in Wisconsin to catch up with some old friends and record a couple of episodes. On the first episode of "Vortex Week" I chat with new friend Cooper Long. Cooper works in the customer service department and is a hardcore bowhunter. Cooper and I talk about growing up in a hunting family, his learning curve for hunting mature bucks, and he breaks down his yearly hunting strategy.

The second half of this episode is Cooper sharing a big buck success story from the past hunting season.

This weeks episode on Michigan Wild is with AJ Norman. AJ and Nate are brother in laws and have always enjoyed the outdoors together. Their conversation starts with how Aj got involved/tagged along with Nate at an early age, and how that developed into him wanting to start gun hunting himself. AJ from the start was determined to hold out for a specific type of first buck, and even dreamed of it at a young age. As the conversation progresses Nate and AJ talk about some of the difficult circumstances he has faced growing up. As AJ went through these he latched on to shooting his bow and found comfort shooting and bowhunting. The journey to AJ’s first buck wasn’t easy and he faced a lot of adversity, however last fall it all came together and made the journey totally worth it. Nate and AJ look forward to more conversations leading into the fall as they find target bucks and continue to learn new properties.
