In this episode of the DIY Sportsman podcast, Garrett gives two hunt breakdowns from his recent Iowa hunt with Shane Simpson. On the first hunt, which ended in a successful setup, Garrett discusses the hunt details. However, perhaps more importantly, he dives into the decision making process of the access and set up pre-dawn, knowing exactly where to best position on the terrain for pulling the bird into shotgun range and not hanging up. On the second hunt breakdown, Garrett describes a similar scenario that ended up with a big tom hanging just out of shotgun range, and what the two could and should have done differently in hindsight.

On this episode of The Western Rookie Dan talks with fellow western rookie Dan Johnson about his past few seasons chasing western big game with his bow.

Dan Johnson is the host of Nine Finger Chronicles, owner of Sportsmen’s Empire and former cohost of The Wired to Hunt podcast. He shares about his successes, failures and everything in between while hunting mule deer. Dan M. Picks his brain about lightening his pack and condensing what he takes with him into the backcountry. The Dans share common struggles while glassing and attempting to identify animals at long range. This is a combination of a strategy, gear and preparation session as they learn from one another and reflect on their first few seasons hunting the west.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan is joined by Mark Kenyon of Wired To Hunt about rethinking his approach to whitetail hunting. Mark had a bit of a stressful season with multiple hunts in different states in a very short period of time. Wounding a deer early season and missing a big buck during the rut led him to take strides to improve his archery skills. Mark talks about how he uses fly fishing to make up for not being in the midwest during the summer months and how that activity keeps him motivated for his fall hunts. This is a really good episode that will leave you thinking about how you approach your hunting adventures.

This week the guys take a second to just discuss the current situation in the turkey woods. Andrew is 0-1, and Paul is like 0/3, but we aren’t really counting…. Recapping of Paul’s trip to Tennessee, the 7.5 mile hike, beautiful opening weekend, and Paul’s thoughts on the latest edition of the turkey regulations.

No special guests this time, just a couple of average Joe’s discussing what they have seen so far and what to look forward too.

Latest partner for the O2 podcast announced! The guys are PUMPED to be working with the folks at FirstLite. More info to come down the road, but if you haven’t already, check out their line up. Have a great week!

On the Missouri Woods & Water podcast this week, Nate and Micah get the chance to talk with Troy Goeckeritz about his show Hunt Warz. If you don't already know what it is, Hunt Warz is a show getting ready to start its 3rd season where the participants in it are drawn to compete with each other in each respective hunt.

When someone applies for Hunt Warz, they have a chance at winning one of fourteen different possible hunts for this season that includes everything someone might need from tags to gear. Hunters are given all the tools they need to succeed once drawn, which is another really cool aspect of this show. There is so much more Troy talks about in the show, it would probably be best to just listen along. Also, you can check out seasons 1 and 2 on their YouTube channel linked below.

This episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman podcast is part two of Josh’s conversation with his dad, Brian. Brian grew up hunting the U.P. of Michigan in a traditional Northwoods deer camp. In the late 90s, Brian moved to Alabama. Eventually, he and Josh started hunting in Alabama and joined a hunting club.

While hunting clubs can provide a very positive experience, often times politics, secrecy, and competition can drown out camaraderie. In this episode, the guys discuss hunting in a traditional Alabama hunting camp and the transition to hunting the little slice of heaven Brian now calls home.

In this episode, Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) and Jake Ehlinger (Habitat Solutions 360) discuss the latest strategies and ideas surrounding the effort required to enhance a deer hunting property for success. Jake’s strategies include planning, and promoting detailed, focused movements across the landscape to ensure deer use and bed on a property at a high rate. Jake utilizes a chainsaw, backpack blower and walk behind brush cutter to ensure his detailed plans are implemented and result led to success.

Jake and Jon discuss the most overlooked details that create failures when setting up a hunting property. On the properties Jake supports he explains how he setups travel corridors and how dealing with mother nature can be the most difficult impediment, limiting success of any work and improvements. Jake gets into the details on specific trail sizes, the shape and how layouts should look to enhance a hunting property.

Jake explains some of the key differences he experiences on his clients’ properties and Jon details some tricks he uses to help individuals work on portions of their property at a faster pace. Jake gives his secrets to figuring out bedding areas and exactly how he lays them out for the best utilization. Jon gets into some of the rules of thumb he employs with clients when setting up bedding areas. Jake details layouts on steep slope terrain, exact dimensions and trees that should be left for balancing timber and wildlife needs.

On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan talks with fellow Wisconsinite and recent Elk convert Ethan Sullivan about everything from chasing turkey and deer in Wisconsin to connecting with Colorado bulls during rifle season.

Ethan grew up in a small town in rural Wisconsin. He started out hunting with his parents at a very young age and now has 4 kids of his own that he loves getting involved in the outdoors. Ethan is a welder by trade but the rest of his free time is taken up with bucks, turkey and fish. Ethan has been branching out to several new states and connected with Dan over text as they were chasing after bulls less than 100 miles from each other. Ethan tries to convert Dan into a die-hard turkey hunter and the 2 of them recap their early years in the elk woods.

We have a double header this week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast. Roy Potter is the owner of Woods County Whitetails in western Oklahoma and this week he joins John to talk about the wonderful hunting accommodations his outfit has to offer. From a literal 5 star chef and comfortable lodge, to the sprawling private ranch with comfortable blinds, food plots, and feeders, Woods County Whitetails is your one stop shop for top notch whitetail hunting. "You're going to see a lot of deer" is Roys promise to his guest, and they have taken some really nice bucks over the years also.

Part two of this episode is another project of Roys that was spawned out of his outfitting business, and that is the Okie Hides blinds. Roy had trouble finding the right blind that could stand up to the elements western Oklahoma could throw at them, while also being comfortable and having all the features he was looking for. Eventually Roy took it upon himself, and he and his team set out to make the perfect blind for their needs. What they came up with is a large elevated blind with a pitched roof and windows in all the right places. So check out this episode and their website to learn all about Woods County Whitetails and Okie Hides blinds.

On this episode of the Huntavore, Nick is joined by fellow Sportsman’s Empire Podcaster, Dan Mathews. Dan is the Host of the Nomadic Outdoorsman and Western Rookies. Together Nick and Dan talk about chasing everything. Rather than casting a deep net into one species, Dan casts a wide net to explore as many outdoor opportunities as possible. They cover hogs from a helicopter. Why is meat so important in your household?, and how Mountain Goat might not be on the top of Dan’s list to chase. This and much more on this episode of Huntavore.

Dan Mathews hails from Southern Missouri and grew up in Wisconsin. His drive for exploring the outdoors and passion for adventure has Dan hunting as much as he possibly can. Rather than wait for a particular season to open, Dan is always in search of the next season that opens, no matter the species. Dan finds that he gets an appreciation for more than just antler size, or body weight, but shares in the excitement of trying something completely new and experiencing hunting cultures across the whole United States.

Dan was recently on a helicopter hunt for feral hogs in Texas. Like a boy playing soldier, Dan unpacks the fun of using high tech firearms out the side of a flying helicopter. Nick pokes at some questions about how Dan feels about the advantage he had with the use of technology and if the excitement of fair chase was gone. His response reflected what ranchers and farmers were saying. These hogs have been doing untold amounts of damage to crops and to other wildlife, and even with these efforts of eradication, the hog numbers continue to bounce back to the point where the environment wouldn't support them. The ethics talk may include the hogs, but at the same time, ethics around wildlife and healthy habitats needs to include hog eradication.

These conversations lead into what meat means to Dan. Is it just food or is it something more? Dan’s freezer is a cornucopia of different animals he’s harvested. Each package offers a renewed experience of the hunt and memories about the event. Also the appreciation of knowing where food comes from. When he asks his daughter where meat comes from, the answer isn't the store or butcher’s shop. It's from hunting.

Even though snow and cold weather has set planting back in the northeast slightly, planting season is right around the corner. On this week’s episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, we are discussing all things summer food plots. First, we touch base on last minute clover establishment and maintenance before diving into the main topic of corn and soybean planting. Like hunting, food plots are a combination of science and art. We begin chatting about all things technical such as planting populations, weed management, soil preparation, fertility, even wide row corn with inner-seeded greens. Even with all the correct tools and preparation, we still have to ask the question, “do you really need corn and soybeans?” This leads us to a philosophical conversation about tuning your food plot programs to your surrounding neighborhood, property size, and local deer density.

Last, we can’t help but discuss no-till food plots. To start, no-till food plots have many more advantages over conventional planting with tillage. However, there is a learning curve which requires a little more planning and management to be successful. No-till planting is not something that can be mastered overnight, but this episode can help prepare you for the long run! Every planting season is a new learning experience and an opportunity to provide better attraction for wildlife. Plus, it is one step closer to being in the tree this fall.

On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan talks with a major league lineup of guests from America’s Dairyland. Paul Wagner, Shaun Ridder and Erik Tasker join Dan to talk about everything from bass fishing and whitetail deer hunting to playing in the MLB and winning CMA Broadcast awards.

Paul Wagner is a current sports radio host and former Milwaukee Brewers & Pittsburg Pirates Pitcher. He may be the old guy in the crew but "Wags" has hunted a lot of the midwest and calls the western Milwaukee suburbs home. Wags hunts deer and turkey and loves chasing Muskie on the Chippewa flowage.

Shaun Ridder is the guy that makes it all happen. First and foremost a fisherman, he entered his first kayak fishing tourney this year and has recently been converted to bowhunting. He’s a lover of all things outdoors, camping, hunting, fishing, etc. Ridder is the “techy” person of the trio. He is also attempting to take his first turkey with a bow this year.

Erik Tasker is a guy who didn't get his hunting license until he was 21. That didn’t slow him down at all though. For the past 15 years he has been a diehard bowhunter. Tasker also loves joining the orange army for the annual gun deer hunt and chasing after bass from a kayak. He got his passion from his dad and uncles that have hunted the same public land in Eau Claire county for 45 years.

On today's episode, Garrett dives into his plan for filling a traditional tag this year, along with the detailed steps to build confidence along the way. In the past, Garrett has hunted with a traditional bow and even built a bow to hunt with. However, due to confidence and repeatability issues had largely kept it just "for fun" the past couple of years. But that doesn't have to be the case. There are many fantastic resources and training tools available to the modern archer, and there is no reason you can't build yourself up to the point where you have total control and confidence in your shot, despite the weapon of choice. In addition to talking through and reviewing some of those tools, Garrett also talks about the focus areas and how they'll change over the next several months leading up to the season.

It's always fun when Land Smathers joins the Southern Ground Hunting podcast for an episode. This week we're talking about all kinds of topics, and sharing stories from recent hunts. You'll get caught up on a couple of birds that died at the hands of Matt, as well as a rainy day hunt from Land down in the 'Sip. The guys really dive deep into strategies for hunting turkeys in that all too common rainy spring weather. Some folks just don't hunt, but we think those major weather fronts can be one of the most predictable times to kill a gobbler.

This Dan talks with Kevin Harlander of First Lite about their new products and how to use their products in both eastern and western hunts. Kevin talks about how they choose what direction they want to go before designing and launching a new product or product line. He then explains why quality of material is of up the upmost importance for their garments and and their durability. Kevin also breaks down how you can build your own layering system for multiple hunting scenarios for different species. Excellent episode with tons of great information.

In recent years, hunting terrain features has garnered tons of attention in the whitetail hunting world. Benches, saddles, draws, ridges, these words are often thrown around. But are we really capitalizing on them and how they influence the way whitetails flow through the properties we hunt?

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer podcast, Josh is joined by Dan Johnson, host of the Nine Finger Chronicles podcast, to talk all things terrain features. Terrain features play a key role in Dan’s hunting strategy whether he’s chasing whitetails at home or other big game out west. For Dan, the right terrain feature at the right time of year is just as, if not more important, than hunting fresh sign. In this episode Dan shares some of his favorite terrain features, how they play into his whitetail hunting strategy, and what to consider when hunting them. Enjoy!

Sitting down with Marcus this week is Lindsay Kocka. Lindsay is the Founder of 2% Certified Fluent Movement on the Fly. FMOTF is a methodology that pairs Lindays's background in total body wellness with fly fishing. Lindsay discusses that during her journey into fly fishing she started to realize the similarities between fishing and the various classes she was teaching (yoga, MovNat, etc) and how learning one could help improve the other. Along with that she started to learn that feeling comfortable on the water was sometimes holding anglers back, but with the right training and techniques, she could really help empower women when out on the water. Lindsay now offers Wade in Wellness retreats for women to help them feel more balanced and connected while on the water. Whether you're just getting started on your fly fishing journey or you're a seasoned angler, her retreats have something for everyone.

Curt and Clint of the Working Class Bowhunters were gracious enough to sit down with the guys at the Open Season outdoors show this year. Discussing trade show life, upcoming hunts, Clints ability to talk to the squirrels and more.  

Paul is off on another turkey adventure and hoping this time he won’t get disrupted by some drive-by gobbler glancer. Andrew is messing around with arrows, planning for some walleye fishing, and of course the upcoming kick off of the turkey season. Updates to the 2022-2023 hunting regulations are out. Arbor day, Earth day, and warmer weather is ahead. Get out there and enjoy it!

On this episode of The Western Rookie Dan talks to 3 “brothers” from Wyoming about all the things they love to chase in their great state. Tanner Varndell, Chase Galley and Colton Jones join Dan to talk about everything from hunting antelope on the plains to chasing high country mule deer.

Chase has always dreamt of filming his hunts and to try and make it "big time". Recently Chase’s dreams have shifted to helping others chase their outdoor adventures. Chase loves to bow hunt elk, and feels that there’s nothing more exciting than hearing bulls bugle in the morning.

Tanner gets his kicks by chasing high-country mule deer. Whether he is the one making the stock or just watching the deer to see what they do, finding and locating the giant old grey ghosts of the alpines is like a drug to him.

Colton is the man behind the video and photography. Colton is an experienced filmmaker and photographer. He has traveled to Japan to compete in competitions and is an avid outdoorsman. Colton had always wanted to start hunting big game but it wasn’t until he met Tanner and Chase while working at Sportsman’s that he truly got hooked. Tanner, Chase and Colton hope that their passion for the outdoors helps others get the ambition to tie up their boots, throw on a pack and experience life in the outdoors.

This episode is all over the place, but that's usually what makes these BS Sessions really good entertainment. On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Justin Zarr is back on the podcast to for another epic BS Session about turkeys, whitetails, and a Las Vegas bachelor party. The guys kick off this episode by breaking down their spring turkey hunting seasons went, or lack there of. Then the conversation quickly turns to their plans for the upcoming fall and how they feel scouting and tree stand preparation will lead to better encounters and success. The more work put in during the pre-season the better their odd for shot opportunities. The episode ends with an absolutely crazy story about a post-bachelor party flight where Justin was able to learn about a new trend that has inspired one couple to create a new business. Very fun episode!

This week on the Missouri Woods and Water podcast we get to talk with Alex Rutledge and Wayne Lach of American Roots Outdoors about some turkey hunting. This show is like a nice night around the campfire sharing some stories. Wayne and Alex talk about their travels around the country hunting turkeys and some of the differences they've noticed hunting the different types we have in the states. They also talk about the important role that patience plays when trying to bring a tom into range.

In this episode, Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) and Perry Battin (Drury Outdoors) discuss the latest strategies and ideas surrounding food plot architecture. Perry introduces himself and converses about the latest turkey season in his area. Perry also discusses how food plot decisions are made on the Drury farms in both Iowa and Missouri.

Perry discusses the planning that is required during the late winter months to ensure the correct seed, fertilizer and equipment is ready to go for spring planting. Perry explains all season food plot strategies and the Drury teams’ focus and the related benefits of summer and fall food sources for the deer herd. Perry also recognizes and justifies his approach of all-season food and the results of having more attractiveness on the landscape.

Perry breaks down the key shapes and sizes of the food plots, and specific layouts and food plot seed choices (biologic) that will create a successful hunt. Jon and Perry discuss the fertilizer dilemma that’s occurring, and Jon points out options for those considering alternatives to fertilizer. Perry explains the importance of access, and how food plot layouts are built around hunting locations. Both confer about improvements in and around food plots and how timber management and specific access or pinch points drive deer into the best hunting locations. Perry gives details on relative distances that he considers when separating food plots and deer bedding areas. Perry discusses special tactics that make large destination food plots more huntable.

Perry and Jon end with the most cost affordable food plot seed options and how these choices will be the best option for hunters all season long.

Few places capture a deer hunter’s imagination quite like a northwoods deer camp. At deer camp, camaraderie is more important than kills, success is measured in good times with good friends instead of inches of antler, and deer hunting plays second fiddle to a whole host of deer camp shenanigans. At deer camp, giant bucks may be every hunter’s dream, but the friendships are what really makes the experience.

In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast, Josh interviews his dad, Brian Sutton. Brian grew up hunting Jones camp in the U.P. of Michigan in the heyday of deer camp culture. Brian shares memories of deer killed, pranks played, and Michigan deer camp culture. The guys also discuss Brian’s transition from the north to the Deep South, Josh’s introduction to hunting and lots more.

‍

On the 100th episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan talks with Brandon Ward about chasing giant whitetail from state to state.

Brandon grew up traveling with his dad all over the country and the world hunting big whitetails and turkeys. Early on his dad got him into a lot of youth hunts which ignited his passion for the outdoors. Brandon was fortunate to harvest big deer at a young age. At 17 Brandon joined the Marines and started taking marines on hunts for the first time. After leaving the Marines Brandon became a guide in Pike co Illinois. After 2 seasons of guiding in Illinois Brandon now lives in Iowa and chases some of the biggest bucks that this country has to offer.

Welcome to part two of the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast mini series with the Oklahoma branch of the National Wild Turkey Federation. This week's guest is biologist Annie Farrell. Annie covers a large area including Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska which means she has seen a little bit of everything. For the purpose of this episode however, John and Annie stick to mostly Oklahoma terrain and statistics.

The conversation starts off by going back in time a little bit, discussing turkeys as a native Oklahoma bird, their decline, and restocking efforts that have grown into the flocks we see today. From there the two cover topics all across the board including Rio grande vs Eastern subspecies and the habitat needed by each of them, polt survival, recent population declines, and what is being done about it. Annie also gives private land owners some things they can do to help more wild turkeys survive on the landscape.

On this episode of the Hunting Gear Podcast, Dan talks with Paul Campbell of the Ohio Outdoors podcast in a BS Session about different gear they use for turkey hunting. The guys discuss everything from boots and socks to turkey calls, shotguns, and blinds. If you're looking for a great BS Session while you head out to roost some birds, this is the episode for you.

We open this week’s episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman with a quick message from Pastor Phil Thomas as we celebrate Good Friday and this Easter weekend. Afterwards, Mitch and Robby have a conversation with Matt Dale from Dale’s Outdoors. Matt has a YouTube channel dedicated solely to educating people to be better turkey hunters. Matt does not take the same approach as other hunting channels where kill content is the main priority, in fact, he does not have near the amount of hunting content as educational videos.

More often than not, educational content for hunting other big game species like whitetails and black bear revolve around finding food, sign, bedding, etc. Why is it that when spring turkey hunting comes into conversation, sign and food are often a secondary topic? Calling, decoys, and blind location strategies are usually discussed the most, and while they are important it is not the “end-all be-all.” Many spring gobbler hunters gauge the quality of the spring season by the amount of gobbling and the responsiveness to calling they encounter. According to Matt, however, more turkeys are killed by sheer patience. For more of Matt’s turkey hunting knowledge, check out Dale Outdoors on YouTube – any turkey hunter can learn something from this 300+ course level turkey hunting information!

In recent years, many in the hunting industry have promoted a hardcore, laser focused, guerrilla warfare style of whitetail hunting. While there’s a lot to be said for this king of intensity, many folks would be well served by a healthy dose of diversification in their outdoor pursuits. Whether you’re hiking, foraging, fishing, hunting small game, or enjoying some other kind of outdoor recreation, the skills gained and honed in other activities can help you become a better deer hunter.

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer podcast, Josh talks with Pierce Nelles, head guide with Good Chance Fly Fishing, about what trout fishing can teach you about deer hunting. Pierce is a multidimensional outdoorsman who love chasing whitetails, turkeys, and trout with fly gear. Pierce’s diversity has contributed greatly to his success in the field. This episode covers a wide variety of topics from access, to stage hunting to quality equipment. No matter your skill level as a deer hunter or fishermen, there’s something in this episode for you!

This week Mark sits down with the guys to talk about the hotly contested topic of nest predation. Although part of the puzzle, Mark explains why it’s not the only part of the puzzle when it comes to managing a healthy turkey population. Focus on habitat and conservation followed by predator management will be the best method to growing a strong turkey population.

The guys were busy at it this week. Andrew’s got his bow restrung, and has been practicing a lot with that. Paul took his nephew out for youth season, and battled the typical public land battles. Heard some birds but no luck.

On this episode of The Western Rookie Dan talks with Jake Trujillo, a fly fishing and big game guide from New Mexico. Jake shares tips and tricks that he uses every September as he chases after bull elk during the rut.

Jake grew up hunting and learning the craft from his dad Patrick. Not only did Jake learn to hunt from his dad, he also followed in his footsteps when he started competing in professional rodeo as a steer wrestler.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan is joined by Floridian Travis Thompson to talk about everything the Sunshine State can offer sportsmen and women. They cover just about everything in this conversation... hurricanes, the rising population, the 1980's cocaine trade, growing urban sprawl, and even Florida being a heavy cattle state. Not only is Travis an avid sportsman, but is also a warrior in the battle for hunters rights, different conservation efforts, and hunter education. This is a crazy entertaining episode, so grab a cold drink and listen close. Enjoy!

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast, Nate and Andy have friend Scott Wilper on to talk about some turkey calling strategy. First, we get into Scott's travels this year at calling competitions like him competing at the National Wild Turkey Federation convention grand national calling championships. He gives some cool background on how competitions go. Next, Scott gets into how he likes to call in gobblers. He goes through hen calling like plain yelps, excited yelps, cutting, and purring and clucking and how you can use those to have a conversation with a gobbler and get him into range. He also goes into the art of reading a gobbler and how he responds to your calling sequences and how patience versus overcalling can be the reason you get him to come all the way in. Another thing to consider is how using owl, crow, and coyote (in the evenings) calling can help you locate gobblers where using turkey calls might not work as well. We also coined us a new term for Scott. When guys get Doug Flutied in the elk woods, the turkey equivalent of that is now called getting Scott Wilpered!!! As always, Scott is a great listen and a wealth of knowledge in this field. Hopefully our listeners are going to be out in the turkey woods soon using some of these strategies to their advantage. Happy hunting folks!

While on a recent family vacation, Josh had the opportunity to visit the Woodhaven Custom Calls facility in Alabama. Though turkey season is in full swing, owner and founder of Woodhaven Custom Calls Mike Pentecost was kind enough to take some time to record an episode. Mike is not only a fantastic turkey hunter, but he’s also a salt of the earth kind of guy. He’s a man who’s driven by his faith, a strong work ethic, and a passion for wild turkeys, and that certainly comes through in this episode!

In this episode, the guys talk about how turkey hunting and the hunting industry have changed over the years, how Mike grew his business from a basement side hustle to a national icon, and the current state of turkey populations and hunting regulations in Alabama. If you haven’t checked out Woodhaven calls already, head over to woodhavencustomcalls.com to see their whole lineup. You can follow along with Mike and the rest of the Woodhaven crew’s hunts on their Youtube channel, Woodhaven Custom Calls.

This episode of the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast is the first of two episodes with Oklahomas chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation. In part one John is joined by guest Bobby Armstrong. Bobby lives in western Oklahoma and is the "Save the Hunt Coordinator" for the state, and also serves on the Oklahoma state board of directors for the NWTF. This weeks topic is mostly about hunting, with a little bit of biology and conservation thrown in at the end.

Bobby started his turkey hunting journey in Arkansas, and talks about how back in the 80's a successful hunt might be as little as seeing a turkey track or hearing a lone gobble. One thing about him is that he truly relishes todays hunting opportunities, and even with what a lot of people are calling down years, he reminds us that we are still very blessed. John and Bobby start small with beginner calls and basic noises and cadences people should be able to make before going into the woods. The two work their way up to calling in birds and how different situations need different approaches, and also tackle decoys and the ups and downs that come with them. John tells a story of the all too common gobblers hanging up on a fence, and Bobby gives his two cents on what he would do in that situation. Towards the end John asks Bobby's opinion on shooting jakes, and how the overall population in the state is doing.

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick opens with a poem “So God Made a Farmer '' to memorialize his late Grandfather. David Otto was called home after 96 years, he was a great Grandfather , husband, steam engine enthusiast, farmer. Switching gears, Nick breaks down naked turkey schnitzel. How unbreaded turkey steaks can be flavorful, moist, and an easy addition to any menu, with the use of a marinade. All this and some heavy thoughts on this episode of Huntavore

After a week-long camping trip with his family, and some sobering news of his grandfather’s passing, Nick has a lot on his mind. Driving down to Kentucky from Michigan made plenty of time for podcast catch-up and reflection. A new show from former guest, Kate Kavenaugh called The Ground Work Podcast, got Nick thinking and unpacking how death is as natural as life. How death can reverberate well past the life and into the lives of those around it. Ok, enough of the heavy stuff.

Nick then switches gears and explores naked turkey schnitzel. A fork tender piece of turkey breast, not breaded, yet loaded with flavor. Starting with a lobe of turkey breast, pulling the skin, and cross cutting the grain about a ½ inch to ¾ inch thick. Following the same as you would with traditional schnitzel, tenderizing the cut steak. Basically, beating the meat flat with a meat mallet, cast iron pan, or a needle perforator. This creates first the fork tender part of the steak, and second, avenues for a marinade to penetrate fully. Nick goes through 3 of his favorite marinades. Easiest would be store bought Zesty Italian Dressing. The other two are whipped up at home, each imparting 3 basic elements: an acid, an oil, and herbs/spices. Lime Chili Ginger uses olive oil, lime zest and juice, grated ginger, and chili flake. Shredded cilantro is always good for a freshness element. Lemon Pepper uses the same olive oil, with a dab of Dijon mustard, Lemon zest and juice, and cracked black pepper. Again a parsley or cilantro for freshness is a good add on. All three marinades will only require 30 to 45 minutes to work on the meat. Any longer and the steak begins to break down. Keep it in as long as you would like, but just be watchful. Now to the grill where a direct sear for color and moved to indirect heat to finish. You want full done but not dried out.

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh talks with Zach Ferenbaugh of The Hunting Public about how spring turkey hunting can make you a better deer hunter. Zach and the rest of the THP crew spend each spring on the THP Turkey Tour, traveling state to state hunting turkeys in lots different landscapes. Much of what they learn each spring while chasing longbeards serves them well each fall, when it’s time to chase whitetails again.

Spring turkey hunting can benefit the avid whitetail hunter in many ways. Everyone knows that spring, especially early spring, can be a great time to scout for last season’s deer sign. But the payoff doesn’t stop there. Turkeys have a lot to teach us about calling animals, fooling an animals senses, the right time to make moves, and how to get off an ethical shot in the moment of truth. Tune in to up your fall deer hunting game by chasing toms this spring.

We're going deep this week on the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast as we discuss the elephant in the room. The question "Is social media really ruining public land hunting?" We've heard it talked about on different platforms in recent months, but as turkey seasons open up across the country, you can't deny that some of the turkey hunting gold mines of past years have turned into a circus. Our guest, Joey Bell, talks about his home state of Tennessee and some of the issues he believes have affected a once great turkey hunting state.

The truth is, hunting facebook groups have absolutely contributed to the amount of pressure we're seeing right now in these public hunting areas. "Not looking for your honey holes, but could someone tell me a good wma to hunt in _____ state?" Does that sound familiar? It seems innocent and it probably is, but broadcasting it to a group with 13,000 members is probably not a great idea. Join us on this hot button issue that many states are currently facing right now. We don't know all of the answers, but we do have opinions. Enjoy!

Without a doubt one of the greatest aspects of hunting is the camaraderie among fellow hunters. It’s not uncommon for friendships to immediately form after the first time you meet someone and share hunting knowledge and experience. Those in the hunting community are almost always quick to help other hunters hone their skill. On this week’s episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, we catch up with a bowhunter who has been helping thousands of fellow archers through his YouTube channel, Average Jack Archery.

Nate Sellers is a humble English teacher from Northcentral Pennsylvania with a passion for teaching – not just in the classroom but also at the archery shop. Over the past decade, Nate has been producing videos to help a diverse crowd of archers from beginner bowhunters to advanced target shooters. The guys discuss the evolution of Average Jack Archery and how a YouTube channel turned into a new bow shop which Nate is opening in July of 2022. As expected, we discuss archery hunting gear including arrow set up for whitetail hunting and shooting under pressure. Nate shares his experience this past fall of arrowing his largest whitetail to date in Indiana and we chat about how his Midwest hunting strategy relates to hunting back in Pennsylvania. If you’ve followed Nate and Average Jack Archery to any capacity, you can bet Nate will have advice for you in this episode.

In today's episode of the DIY Sportsman podcast, Garrett talks turkey hunting. But instead of picking a particular topic and doing a deep dive on it, this one is more high level. There are a lot of guys who've just been getting into turkey hunting, and apart from being able to watch videos online, might not necessarily know what they might be doing right or wrong, or what gear is seen as essential vs just nice to have vs gimmicky. Some of the topics and items I'll cover might seem pretty basic to experienced turkey hunters, but some of it is stuff I didn't even realize, figure out or learn until several years of doing it.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan talks with deer habitat specialist Jon Teater about how deer use a variety of terrain features to keep cool in warm weather and warm is cold weather and using that information to locate ambush points. Jon talks about specific locations for both early season and late season bedding, how water can impact their thermoregulation, soil temperature, tree canopy, and stem count. This is one of those episodes that will give you one more thing to think about when trying to locate deer in general or a shooter buck. We love episodes like this, enjoy!  

This week on The Average Conservationist Podcast, Marcus welcomes Steven Gremillion. Steven Founder and Principal of 2% Certified Palustris Design Studio. The guys discuss a variety of topics including how Steven ended up becoming a landscape architect and why he's using predominantly native materials to Louisiana in his designs. Steven talks about some of the various design styles used in the industry and what he prefers to do, to try and highlight the natural beauty of his customers' land and give them a visually restful space. Living in a state that does not offer a ton of options for public land hunting, Steven is working with various conservation organizations to support public land access and keeping our wild places, wild. If you're in Louisiana and in need of some work done, be sure to and check out Palustris Design Studio.

This week the guys are joined by Josh Carney. Josh is a hoot, and we don’t just mean that in the comedic sense. Josh has an amazing ability to make many different animal calls with just his voice, including an owl. This episode will make your belly hurt from laughter, so get those abs ready for soreness.

Paul has spent sometime hunting in Alabama. No birds on the ground, but good stories, and scary snakes abound. Andrew’s working on his elk call, tic tac toe game, and gearing up for turkey season. April fools joke or actual lottery pull? HPAI, Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza is making noise in the states bird population. All of this and more on this week’s adventure of the O2 Podcast! Enjoy

In this episode, Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) discusses his recent travels to clients and most importantly the mindset you should have to succeed with changing your property for the better. The concepts suggested will displace non-native plants with healthy natural, native plants that will lead to more opportunities to attract and hold deer on your property. Jon’s process and recommendations to changing a property for good leads to legacy benefits that will increase hunting for the long run.  

Jon’s unique method to evaluate properties and pushing listeners to the next steps of evoking change will ensure you have the best plants on the landscape; this will ultimately get you further than you anticipated and the net benefit should be more deer, turkeys, insects, birds and other small mammals. Jon explains problems he experiences with clients and his own property, and solutions that will allow you to manage plants that create interference. Jon discusses specific plants that hold individuals back from transforming their deer habitat into something special.

Jon breaks down the top five non-native plants that can be destructive to your habitat and provides a multitude of plants that can replace them. Jon suggests ways to remove plants and the harm that comes from leaving them on the landscape. For example, Japanese barberry and related tick populations can be problematic to human health. Jon explains steps that will improve the landscape when non-native plants are present and a big takeaway that will allow you to plan, make changes, and succeed!
