In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast, Josh and Pierce discuss the ups, downs, and eventual success of Josh's recent Iowa turkey hunt. 

Josh had a Period A tag for Wisconsin this year, and as luck would have it, some season 2 tags in Iowa were available that just so happened to be good for April 14-18. So Josh scooped up an Iowa tag anticipating a pretty vanilla hunt in the land of the giants. But the hunt was totally not what Josh expected. 

Josh faced intense hunting pressure, wild weather, and stubborn property line birds, but was eventually able to accomplish his long standing goal of killing a turkey in the snow. Tune in to hear the full story and how Josh rolled with the punches to make it happen!

In this podcast, Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) and Tim Russell (Green Fire Forestry & Wildlife Services) discuss what to consider when buying hunting land. Tim explains how to think differently about your forest and what trees might be most meaningful from a wildlife or economic standpoint. Tim and Jon discuss site indexes and the benefit to timber.  Tim provides resources that help evaluate property quality and gives an idea where the best location is for food plots. Tim discusses GIS and how to evaluate changes in the forest and what areas have the potential for future timber. Tim discusses the importance of doing remote analysis on properties before stepping foot to do the legwork. Tim and Jon explain diversity on these properties and Tim identifies the type of property he would purchase.

Tim explains the importance of access for equipment and hunting. Tim discusses how to manage property and what he would choose if he had an option of field or timber. Both contributors assess property in increments and steps, explaining important criteria to valuing property. Tim explains the importance of thinking through the money and time elements of a property before purchase, and not pushing land buying budget without thinking about improvements. Also, Tim explains why smaller properties might be a better option for buyers. Jon discusses the importance of solar radiation and how it influences deer movement and forest stands. Tim and Jon discuss the benefits of water sources on the property, how to utilize water as a friend and increase deer usage in specific areas. Jon discusses drought proofing your property and how you can improve elements of your property to be more productive. Tim breaks down and provides clients options to consider when weighing timber improvements but not losing focus on hunting.  Jon explains how to break down and evaluate a field and improve it with different ways to better support deer utilization.

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast Nate & Micah get to talk with Brian Anderson, the founder of The Tick Terminator about all things ticks.  Brian talks about how he got into the tick world, what a tick is and how it lives its life, how to keep them off you, and what to do should you get bitten.  This show is full of useful information about how to keep yourself safe against those blood sucking creatures.  Thanks for listening!

John is back in the mobile studio this week bringing you a pre summer check list. Before long it is going to get hot and dry, so there are a few things every game manager needs to get done before that time gets here. From tree stands to trail cameras, no matter if you hunt public or private, many of these things will apply to you. 

After the to-do list, John also shares some stories from his Sportsmens Empire hog hunt from a few weekends ago. Fellow podcasters came from Michigan, Ohio, and Missouri to hunt hogs in southeast Oklahoma. Many of the guys had never even seen a hog, much less hunted them, so it was a lot of fun for John to take them around and turn them loose on some wild hogs. 

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick sought out the expertise of Brandon Sheard; custom slaughter man and butcher, and creator of Farmstead Meatsmith.  For his trip to Oklahoma, Nick was preparing for the hopeful achievement of being able to harvest wild pork.  Brandon brings a knowledge base of being a mobile slaughterman and custom butcher for domestic pigs and heritage breeds.  He walks Nick through an effective kill shot, a field dress of pigs, and a unique way of keeping the skin on the animal to gain maximum harvest, with the added benefit of keeping the meat and fat clean.  If hogs are in your future, this is an episode you should save.  Get ready for an informative episode of Huntavore.

Brandon Sheard is owner and creator of FarmStead Meatsmith.  A podcast, youtube channel, and instructor of butchery classes at his farmstead.  What started as a job opportunity, became a passion for taking ownership of his food.  Brandon explains the differences in domestic and wild pork.  How boars will have a musk known as boar taint, and how some communities have learned to enjoy the taste.  Where an effective shot can be taken on a hog to bring it down quickly.  Lastly, how can the hair and outer skin be torched off to clean the animal to keep the skin on in hopes of keeping the fat and meat clean and get maximum use of the harvest.

In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, we’re talking fishing once again. This time, Jacob took his family and went up into the Smokey Mountains to chase trout. If you’ve never been to Gatlinburg, you are missing out, especially if you have kids. There’s a private fish hatchery with lots of opportunities to catch some nice fish, and right in downtown Gatlinburg. Jacob’s youngest son catches a monster rainbow. The only thing better than catching them yourself is watching kids reel ‘em in. Find out what makes Gatlinburg an underrated fishing destination and learn how Brayden got his start on a fly rod in Gatlinburg as well.

Brayden went to a Luke Combs concert and had a comical run in with some backwards hat-wearing Instagram cowboys … find out how he saved their day. There were several other up-and-coming country music stars on stage and everyone put on a great show. He’s getting ready for turkey hunting season and trying to get some birds on camera.

Arica grabbed some concert tickets for a special Christmas show. She went camping with her family and went looking for morel mushrooms but didn’t find any. Is it really spring camping without a tornado warning? They decided to pack it up and get to safety. They dodged it but there was an F3/F4 tornado that touched down just north of them. We talk about how much camping has changed since the pandemic. She’s getting ready for another camping adventure and is getting help from the guys about which bass baits to bring along.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan is joined by Michigan bowhunter Jack Ruthruff to talk about hunting in the mitten. Jack lives in an area in Michigan that has heavier than normal hunting pressure on both private and public land. Jack explains that an excellent buck for that section of the state would be a 115-120" 3 year old buck, and that is his goal every year. In recent years, Jack has lost access to private ground due to owner ship change thus forcing him to focus more on public land. While scouting, before he broke his leg, he located a thick and nasty bedding area that runs parallel with a marsh leading up to a destination food source. Jack believes that with the right access paired with the right time of year, he will able get the job done a target caliber buck.

Jacob Coons of Kentucky is a bit of a hunting gear nut. So much so that he started a YouTub Channel to compare and review hunting gear and equipment. On this episode of the Hunting Gear Podcast, the guys talk about recently reviewing several insulated jackets and hunting applications. Jacob breaks down how he takes an analytical approach to comparing products and finding the best value. Jacob explains that there are several options for clothing, mapping and weather apps, outside of the hunting industry. The guys discuss if price reflects quality, why direct to consumer may not be all that it's cracked up to be, and much more! If you are a gear nut, this episode will educate and entertain.

This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch sits down with Jason Miller from JMiller Custom Calls.  You're in for a good ol' fashion B.S. session swapping stories and pulling takeaways for the upcoming season.  Jason is a diehard turkey hunter who continues a streak since the 90s of filling a tag in the Keystone state.  Jason is extremely persistent, scouting constantly.  Nearly every morning leading up to opening day and throughout the season Jason is up watching and listening to what the birds are doing in his area.  Then, the plan is simple - be aggressive and get as close as possible without spooking!

With this insane passion for turkey hunting, Jason has begun cutting his own mouth calls.  What started out as a hobby to pass the time simply to fine tune the sound he likes, has now turned into selling these calls for a little more turkey hunting opportunity.  Jason discusses this journey and relates back to many of the experiences he has had since beginning this call making journey.  Jason's passion is contagious - you should be ready to chase those thunder chickens after this episode!  You can reach out to Jason for more information on his turkey calls through Instagram @jmillercustomcalls. #radixhunting #huntworth #vitalizeseed

Repeat guest to the show, this week Mark Wiley is getting us that twas the night before Christmas feel good mood going with a discussion of the Ohio turkey scene.  Mark works as the state upland bird biologist, and has spent his career studying and monitoring the birds of Ohio.  With Turkey season opening in just a few short hours, Mark was gracious enough to answer some lingering questions about the current status of the flock in Ohio.

Paul is returning from another southern turkey trip, but this time empty handed.  He was lucky enough to spend sometime in Alabama with Mike Pentecost and others chasing birds through the hills.  Andrew did spend a night out in the fields watching for coyotes, but was unsuccessful on that front.  However, he was able to catch sight of a bobcat moseying through the fields.  Dan Johnson killed a turkey. Nothing else to see here.

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

On this week's episode I was joined by Thomas Mlsna from The Untamed Ambition!  This was such an awesome podcast to record with Thomas.  I first heard Thomas on the Exodus Outdoor Podcast and knew I wanted to pick his brain on whitetail. Throughout this episode you will hear the drive, knowledge and passion Thomas really puts into whitetails, coaching, consulting and his company the Untamed Ambition.  We cover specific hunting tactics and share some stories we all can relate and learn from!

Kicking the episode off Thomas explains a little bit about himself, but doesn’t waste any time getting right into whitetail strategies. Thomas breaks down the 4 key elements that are simple but extremely effective when it comes to hunting big whitetails. From getting pieces of the puzzle together, to executing a specific plan to hunt the buck you’re after and mistakes we as hunters can avoid come next season, Thomas covers it! 

Thomas also breaks down how to be more intentional with your camera setup, using your historical data in an effective way and really breakdown an area to be set up in the right location!  Again, I can’t wait to go back and listen to this episode because I learned so much while recording.  I hope you get a lot out of this one as well!

Brayden talks about hunting with his uncle as a kid and killing his first deer at the age of 15. Then, like most kids, he decided to put all of his energy towards a sports. Baseball became his main focus all through high school and college. Then three years ago he decided to get back in to archery. While he was in the store buying a bow he ran in to an old high school friend who was a serious public land bowhunter. This old friend convinced him to start practicing archery together and tagging along during the bow season. And the rest they say is history!

We have a treat for this week's show on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast with returning guest and turkey hunting beast Scott Wilper.  We talk about Scott's experiences at different calling competitions like the NWTF national calling competition among others and how they differ from being in the woods and the art of calling there.  We also talk about youth season and some awesome memories Scott was able to make there.  Then we finally get into some listener questions for Scott including questions about mouth calls, purring and clucking, turkeys and the rain, strategies for the different sub species, and more.  A special thanks to Scott for joining us again and thanks for listening!  

In this episode, Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) and Matt Light (Light Foundation, 3x Superbowl Champion) discuss the Light Foundation and how the program leads children into the outdoors and establishes success. Matt discusses the leaders he is developing through various camps and teachings and how they experience life changes through turkey hunting that instils leadership.

Matt explains how the programs under the Light Foundation brings youth together, and shapes them from a career and education perspective and provides them responsibility for shooting firearms and holding one another accountable.  Introducing kids to adults associated with the program enhances the leadership experience and shapes them in the right ways to ensure a positive change is created.

Jon and Matt discuss the universal problem of distractions for kids and how post COVID views have changed our world and pushed a differing perspective on the children of today. Matt explains the best ways to get kids into the outdoors and how to break the ‘wall’ of electronic devices and games that are overtly distracting. Matt details the youth turkey hunt they offer and how you can create a similar experience on your own property.

Matt explains how kids can apply to the Light Foundation programs, which include hunting, fishing, outdoors, timber framing and leadership development. Matt provides details on how to support the Light Foundation and what opportunities the foundation can provide our communities. Matt ends with an idea that will change your relationship with your kids and how new environments will shape their future.

John had a heck of a trip to Nebraska to visit his sister and chase Merriam turkeys. On this week's uncut episode of the Oklahoma Outdoors podcast, John talks about the many times he got caught by gobblers with his pants down, multiple close calls, and how distracting all the deer sign was. It is almost hard to believe he didn't fill his tag after situations like walking up on birds midday, turkeys gobbling when he didn't have his bow, and even calling a long beard to 10 steps! He really has nothing to blame but himself.

Even after all the mishaps, it was still an incredible trip. He got to do a lot of scouting for both turkeys and deer, and got permission on yet another property for this fall. John also got to see the effects of EHD for himself, finding multiple deadheads while walking around scouting. It is truly incredible how diverse whitetails and turkeys are and all the places they can thrive, even when it seems the cards are stacked against them.

In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, we’re talking all things AI. We discuss several of the concerning questions such as what are the societal impacts, will we lose our jobs to AI, and will AI learn to code itself and take over humanity. The trouble is that we can no longer undo this thing and it’s here to stay. Which AI platform is the scariest one? Part of the problem with this now is that people already believe everything they see, how far will AI twist the truth? There is one silver lining amidst all this AI, tune in to find out what that is.

Now that we’ve terrorized you about the threat of AI, find out how we’re using it. If you’ve never utilized the “ask the community” feature in the GoWild App, this allows you to get answers to a specific question you have about a particular outdoor pursuit.

Deer hunting or turkey hunting, what's your favorite? For many of us, deer hunting is our first love. There's nothing like a crisp November morning in the stand, blind, or saddle to get the blood flowing. But for the hunter looking to broaden his horizons, there are tons of opportunities out there. While there are a wide variety of species to chase come fall and winter, there aren't very many seasons open as the temps warm up and the days grow longer. Enter spring turkey hunting. An absolute blast in its own right, turkey hunting is certainly a different ballgame than hunting whitetails. But what if I told you the spring turkey hunting can also make you a better deer hunter?

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh and Pierce discuss ways that hunting spring gobblers can help you be a better deer hunter next fall. The guys discuss gear, terrain features, strategy, and talk a little about their upcoming hunt for turkey in WI. Enjoy!

Hunting has a variety of emotions relating to its mixture of being both a science and an art.  Many relate their hunting passion to their career choices.  But is passion the true metric for career decision?  This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman we chat with Eric Lance from the HuntScience Podcast.  Eric is a biologist that consults with landowners privately and also is an associate biology professor.  Eric talks about how his passion for wildlife first drove his interest towards becoming a hunter - not the other way around.  Eric's career experience is a great testimony to learning the influence of our strengths and weaknesses before applying them in our own careers.

This allows us to transition into discussing the current projects Eric is working on.  Eric is well rounded in land, big game, small game, and waterfowl management.  He discusses the nesting success project he is doing with migratory birds and cites numerous examples of sound wildlife management through his own experiences.  Understanding carrying capacity, population dynamics, and the habitat requirements of a species is necessary to interpret data and make decisions.  It also is essential to understand what the most limiting factors are for a species - such as habitat loss.  Tune in to better understand how certain management practices Eric uses have a positive impact on the game species you love!

This week on The Average Conservationist Podcast, Marcus sits down with the host of the Conservation Unfiltered Podcast, Jason Crighton. The guys kick things off catching up on last year's deer hunting season and how they are trying to get their kids involved in the outdoors and making memories along the way. Jason and Marcus discuss how they approach preparing for podcast guests and ways to ask important questions without getting scripted answers.

Most people know him for his Whitetail wisdom and expertise, but what some others may not realize is that Beau Martonik is a pretty good turkey hunter as well. Beau’s passion for all things outdoors comes full circle with his spring scouting for deer, that helps in his pursuit of mountain birds.  We talk some tactics, but more about the history of turkey hunting in his family.  His grandfather’s turkey calls, and what it’s like hunting birds in the big mountains of PA.

Paul is on the pursuit of another turkey, this time down in Alabama.  Looking forward to a recap of that hunt when he returns!  Andrew’s been hanging out with his neighbor Dolly (deer) that comes over to play with Champ (dog) on these beautiful sunny days.  One quick reminder, if you are outside, please be Tick smart!  Those jerks are out and about and with the mild winter, you will probably see more this year than in the past.

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

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick’s sights turn southward as he is joined by John Hudspeth, Host of the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast.  John may be the pickiest eater on the show, yet resides in a true sportsmen’s cornucopia of species to chase.  One in particular is the feral hog, an animal that brought a lot of attention to itself in the past several years.  John paints a picture of what Nick is to expect when he travels down and faces off against these formidable beasts.  To top it all off, John lays out a couple dishes for the Emperor’s Table that even picky eaters will enjoy.  Lots of great conversation on this episode of Huntavore.

John Hudspeth, AKA “The Voice of Oklahoma” , coined by one of his listeners, invited Nick and the Sportsmen’s Empire crew to a hog hunt.  Biting at the chance, Nick wanted to have John on the show to lay out what was to be expected when chasing hogs.  John gives some details on how to approach hog hunting, like feel free to take off in the morning, since the pigs in his area tend to be active evening and night.  Also, pigs are heavily motivated by food this time of year.  Put out the best grub, you’ll find the pigs.  Speaking of grub, John lays out some great dishes to be presented at the Emperor’s table.  John and the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast can be found on Mondays on Sportsmen’s Empire Network.

Charles Greer of Whitetail Fanatics Land Consultants joins John again this week for another conversation about proposed changes to some important rules and regulations in Oklahoma. The Guys cover a few repeat topics, but Charles also brings up a few new ones that even John hadn't heard about yet, such as CWD regulations going to the Ag department, and a wildlife commission with the power to make changes as they please. Some of these topics may be getting old, but again, these legislation decisions are going to echo throughout the state for years to come. So please give this episode a listen, and make your voices heard!

In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, Jacob is moving slow, but catching up with a cup of Wildland Coffee. The boys went to the Bassmaster Classic in Tennessee, got to hang out with some vendors, met a few pros, and took a selfie with the Godfather of flop, Mr. Bill Dance. Dan Johnson shares a legendary Bill Dance story with the one time he got beat!  We talk about the thrill of the big event and what the pros are doing to stay on fish. If you’ve ever wondered how one of these tournaments works, we’ve got your answers.

Dan Johnson from Sportsmen’s Empire is our featured guest once again, this time to talk about many of the new proposed rules and regulations around hunting. Dan talks through some of the issues and lets us know what’s happening and why hunters should be concerned. He talks about companies hiring lobbyists to push new hunting laws for the companies to make money. He also poses some difficult questions, like should we have a firearm season on whitetails during the rut, what role do wildlife managers serve, and who is really making these laws. He mentions you should contact your local representatives to share your opinions whether you support or disapprove of any new bills. Another great resource for hunters to stay “in the know” is by joining and supporting Sportsman’s Alliance. Hunters, anglers, trappers, and outdoorspeople should equally get involved with their state wildlife management agency to voice their concerns and express their wishes.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan talks with western Michigan native Nate Rozeveld about hunting mature deer. Nate mentions that he lives in an area of the state where many of the surrounding properties communicate with each other in hopes of letting bucks get to an older age class. Nate talks about growing up in a hunting family and why he thinks Michigan has such a rich hunting tradition. This is an excellent episode that will have you laughing, enjoy!

On this episode of the Hunting Gear Podcast, Dan talks with Greg Godfrey of Tethrd about new products they have introduced over the last year. This includes a new saddle and some other saddle hunting accessories. But the big news was a turkey hunting vest that they launched with the help of The Hunting Public crew. Greg talks about how that collaboration started and the variety of iterations they went through to get the vest to market. This includes a special fabric used in the manufacturing of the vest with another hunting company, Mossy Oak. This is a fun episode you will be sure to enjoy!

Good Friday and Easter weekend is a time to slow down and celebrate.  It's easy to be caught up in the chaos of everyday life and be consumed by personal goals.  This is especially true for us as bowhunters and outdoorsmen and women who desire to take our pursuits to the next level.  On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, we have a conversation with Merle Fredericks from Christian Bowhunters of America and discuss things in a bigger picture.  Merle digs into the details revolving around the question, "what does Good Friday mean to you?"

Merle's life has been comparable to most - a husband and a father working as a police officer in New York, and a love for bowhunting.  His passion for chasing whitetails with a stick and string is no different than anyone else.  But Merle sheds light on truth greater than this pursuit, and shares witness to us beyond the world of hunting.  Be open minded as you listen to Merle's message as a leader of Christian Bowhunters of America.  Happy Easter!

This week on Limbhanger, we're talking about when and where might be your best bet when it comes to booking an outfitted turkey hunt. This is important especially when it comes to chasing the 49 state Super Slam. While the majority of our conversations are focused on public land hunting, there are absolutely some scenarios and states where you may want to consider an outfitter, and some that it would be necessary. 

Adam gets the opportunity to do some of these hunts through his job and recently came back from a trip to South Texas hunting Rio gobblers. Joey booked an outfitted hunt with Jay Scott for his Goulds hunt in Mexico. As the guys talk through their experiences, they break down some of the good and bad when it comes to this style of hunting. 

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh tlaks with Idaho big buck killer Troy Pottenger about how Troy uses mock scrapes to make bucks hunt him!

Troy Pottenger hunts some of the most unforgiving whitetail terrain in the country. Tough weather conditions, large expanses of timber, apex predators, and low deer densities make finding any deer a challenge in Troy's neck of the woods. But Troy has found a strategy that works to consistently get him on some of eh biggest bucks in his region. Central to his hunting strategy is mock scrapes. Tune in to hear how Troy makes mock scrapes, why they're so successful, and how to capitalize on them where you hunt.

A few episodes ago on the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast, we each drafted a team of hunters in a mock "Fantasy Draft". One of Parker's picks was a fella named Brett Mashburn. Brett is joining us this week to talk about his extremely aggressive public land hunting style. Brett puts a ton of emphasis on pre/post season scouting when it comes to finding a buck's bedroom. In this episode, he'll explain his scouting and what he's looking for. While Brett definitely values the scouting, accessing the spot is another area of emphasis. According to Brett, when the homework is done and the access is flawless, his style of hunting has led to more opportunities at mature whitetails and overall more encounters with bucks. 

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan talks with hardcore public land bowhunter Josh Profitt about their trail camera deployment strategies. Josh talks about where he likes to hang his trail cameras to not only get intel on deer but other hunters as well. The guys discuss the best locations for not only mature bucks, but the best location for sheer numbers of deer pictures. Once Josh locates a shooter, he breaks down how he brings more trail cameras in to the area and ultimately how he decides on the best places to hang his stand treestand. Lastly, the guys discuss what would happen if they were no longer allowed to use trail cameras in the woods. This is a very informational episode, so listen close to what the guys have to say! Enjoy!

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 167 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Cody Jenkins from the Whitetail Legacy Podcast!  This was a podcast I have been looking forward to recording for quite some time and it did not disappoint.  Cody has been recording podcasts for over 6 years and has killed some big bucks and that is exactly what we discuss in this week's episode!

When we kick off this podcast we chat about Cody himself and how he has been able to be consistent recording episodes but also getting it done in the woods.  You really hear from Cody how important family is to him and what fun he is having getting his children into hunting.  We discuss other topics from improving yourself to be better in and out of the woods physically and mentally, current stages in preparing for next season! This was really fun to hear how Cody is finding big deer and the easiest ways to kill them! 

Cody also shares how he uses trail cameras, hunting stories from this past season, breaking down a property for scouting, and much more!  We also talk about perfect hunting setups and what exactly Cody is looking for when he sets up on a killable buck. Cody touched upon the current state of trail cameras and the excitement of taking his kids out next season for hunting.

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

This week the guys cover Andrew’s recent trip to the Missouri and Oklahoma. While on the trip, Andrew was able to take advantage of a night of coyote hunting with the boys from the Missouri Woods and Water podcast.  Nate, Andy, and Micah took him out and showed him a good time in the Show Me State. They spent the entire night out running around using thermal optics and calls to bring the coyotes to the table.

The majority of the show covers the Oklahoma extravaganza, where John Hudspeth from the Oklahoma Outdoors podcast, Nick Otto from the Huntavore podcast, and Dan Mathews from the Nomadic Outdoorsman podcast took a crack at some hogs. Dan struck first, but they all had some down by the end of the night.  Another late-night session with a lot of opportunities. Key take home about hogs: THEY ARE TOUGH.

Around the state some news of interest includes updates at the Delaware Wildlife shooting area, New K-9’s on the job, Walleye fishing in the state, and more.

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

Al identifies the diversity seed blends that lend themselves to being more productive. Jon and Al discuss sandy and clay soils and how best to handle them, technique of planting and what varieties of seed to consider. Al explains his strategy on reducing tillage, and the importance of fungal networks. Al discusses the importance of foliar spray and how to increase biomass. Jon details his spring seed food plot mix that will be implemented this year.

Al explains why Nitro Boost provides a better means to feeding soil biology and how a heavier legume crop in the spring and summer is better for those upcoming fall plantings. Al and Jon discuss plant maturity and spacing and how to make the fall crops thrive without use of fertilizers. Al breaks down his fall crop options and how his seed can be distributed as a throw and grow, rather than through tilling.  why their seed strategy requires less inputs. Jon and Al discuss simple seed mixes you can do yourself that will get you ahead of your neighbors.

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast the guys sit down with their buddy Pat for a good ole fashioned spring BS session.  Micah comes with some awesome and hard hitting questions for us to answer which brings out some really interesting conversation.  We talk about things like youth turkey season, baiting deer, losing our hunting rights, headshots, crossbows being part of bow season, alternative methods season, changes in technology and how it will affect hunting, changes in our archery set ups this year, and some of our biggest hunting regrets to name a few.  Thanks for listening! 

Josh's turkey hunting road trip (dare we call it a Turkey Tour!?) begins in less than two weeks! Having added an Iowa tag to the list, Josh reached out to the host of the Nine Finger Chronicles Podcast Dan Johnson to talk about planning for out of state hunting trips and what to expect for Iowa. 

Dan is no stranger to out of state trips. Each year, Dan hunts a handful of states, including some longer trips out west. With his experience, Dan has a pretty dialed in approach to planning and prepping for hunting trips. So Josh picks Dan's brain about making preparations. The guys also discuss what Josh can expect for an Iowa turkey hunt as far as getting on birds and encountering hunting pressure goes. Josh and Dan also get into scouting for deer on Iowa public land. The sheer amount of sign found in Iowa can be tough for a nonresident to decipher when scouting for whitetails. So Dan shares some advice for helping Josh get started planning his potential 2024 or 2025 Iowa deer hunt. 

And since both guys are dads, the conversation eventually devolves into ranting about  kids, the woes of working from home during spring break, and Dan's new children's book, "The Volcano Dad." Enjoy! 

In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, Jacob and Derek start the show by talking about the early spring temperature swings and how they make for some tricky fishing. Derek was fishing deep and slow trying to dig up some largemouths. He tried several different baits– find out which ones got some strikes. Jacob mentions the biggest factors that affect bass action this time of year. Dan Johnson says he does a little fishing as well and visits the Mississippi River pools every spring. He also drops his favorite fish species and how he likes to fish for them. The guys come to an agreement about the hardest-fighting fish.

We also have a candid conversation about the rising influence of solid color hunting apparel products: Is there a shift away from camouflage patterns? We ask some tough questions that really get into the nuts and bolts of what it takes to be a successful whitetail deer hunter and suggest that your camo pattern may not be as important as you might think. Dan mentions what he feels is the biggest thing to do to kill more deer. We banter over the other factors such as noise and light reflection that might be more important in hunting apparel. We discuss other important considerations for choosing hunting clothing such as durability and comfort and talk about why proper base layers mean all the difference. We mention a few brands we like and a few we don’t. We also mention how and when camo became associated with hunting.

There are several important and pressing issues concerning hunting and wildlife in Oklahoma right now, and on this episode of the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, we try to lay out exactly what those concerns are. Michael Arnette is one of many who has reached out to John in the last few weeks, and he does a great job of laying out some of the proposed legislation and how it might affect the sportsmen and women of Oklahoma and beyond. If you have been on social media at all recently, you have probably seen articles about airbows, velvet seasons, trail camera bans, and much much more.

Michael and John do their best to weed through some of the proposed bills, and what it could mean for both hunters and wildlife. The guys talk about how other states have handled some of these topics, and how it has affected them. Some of what is said in this episode is certainly opinion, but much of it is factual and taken directly from bills that are currently in circulation in the state legislature. It is growing more important every day for people to get involved with what happens in politics, no matter what side of the isle you fall on. If the people who love to hunt and fish don't stand up for their rights, there are not many others to do it for them!

On this Episode of the How to Hunt Turkeys Podcast, Paul sits down with Mr. Alex Rutledge. Alex is a Missouri native, a legend in the Turkey calling sector and a masterful hunter and woodsman. He’s one of the hosts of American Roots Outdoors radio show and podcast. Paul and Alex break down the intricacies of calling to Turkeys in the spring and how to move and pick a set up during a hunt. Alex’s calling ability is on full display during this episode. What kills more Turkeys, Woodsmanship or calling? We dive deep into the topic. This episode dives deep into the methods and skills the old school hunters possess. Understanding what the woods give you and the mindset the Tom you are hunting can mean the difference between coming out of the wood heavy or not.

This week on Limbhanger, we're talking about the one thing we can control in turkey hunting. That's your ATTITUDE!  We dive into the things that make us feel the most confident while in the turkey woods. Are there certain calls that you just know he's going to gobble to every time? We share some of these type of things and much more. It's turkey season boys and girls! Get after em!

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan goes solo as he he talks about planning for next seasons out of state hunting trips. Dan dives in to a couple issues he may be facing with conflicting hunts, whether or not he will draw specific tags, and putting together his hunt schedule for the year.

Dan also talks about deciding to get a new bow and whether or not he feels the proper time to get it sighted in before the season starts. Lastly, Dan talks up the upcoming task of digging through the last couple years of trail camera pictures to see if he can see any patters from some of the local buck who are now shooter caliber. Just a bunch of random topics that pop up when several guest have to cancel, enjoy!
