On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan talks to Holt Watson, an avid outdoorsman that loves chasing snow geese from the Great Lakes down to the waterfowl Mecca known as Arkansas.

Holt grew up in the St. Croix river Valley fishing for walleyes on the St. Croix river as well as various lakes in MN and WI. His passion for things like chasing whitetail and ducks quickly grew and he eventually started guiding snow goose hunts in Arkansas and has done so for the past 10 years. Holt just finished his snow goose season and is looking forward to the impending turkey season to kick off. When Holt isn’t chasing waterfowl his day job picks back up as a heavy equipment operator. He is currently engaged and has wisely set the date of the wedding for June (no hunting seasons). Dan gives Holt an opportunity to turn him into a die hard turkey hunter. Let’s see how it goes!

This weeks episode of the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast is one of the more random ones, but its because this weeks guest is such an avid outdoorsmen that we had to cover a little bit of it all. Bransen Shelton of Three Rivers Outdoors is a man of many parts. He enjoys bird hunting with his dogs, shed hunting, deer hunting, trapping, photography, and his most recent venture of coon hunting. It was just to hard to pick one topic so John and Bransen just touched on all of them.

The two kicked it off with some shed hunting talk, and Bransen talks about how much he has learned about deer and their travel behavior after getting more into shed hunting with his dogs. He also says it is easier to train a dog to shed hunt than most people believe. The guys also discuss Johns recent burn at his property, and Bransens upcoming burn on his own property and the prep that goes into it. Bransen also tells the story of his nice 160" class whitetail he took off his own 50 acre place and the improvements he is making in order to make it a yearly thing. Bear hunting and the Oklahoma quail population are a couple more of the random discussions covered in this episode, and to hear the rest of them you're just going to have to listen to this episode!

Dan talks with good friend Tim Kent about how they make their hunting gear purchasing decisions in this hunting equipment B.S. Session. Tim explains how he breaks down his hunting gear purchasing decisions including how he researches those decisions. The guys talk about everything from archery equipment and tents to boots, backcountry food, and backcountry hunting equipment. The conversation revolves around both western hunting and more common whitetail hunting. This is a fun episode that may leave you thinking about how you pick your hunting equipment. Enjoy!

How many of you can relate to hunting small tracts of property? What about a micro-parcel of 10 acres of less? The vast majority of deer hunters with access to private land can relate to this type of parcel, especially those that are chopped up in the Northeast. While a Whitetail deer’s home range is significantly larger than the confinement of a micro-parcel, there is more that can be done in the off-season to improve the quality of hunting then most would think. However, in addition to hard work, it takes a more methodical approach, and sometimes outside-of-the-box creativity to achieve these goals.  

This week’s episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman we have Phil Holcombe share his experiences from the school of hard knocks. Phil is a Pennsylvania native that is no stranger to hunting vast chunks of big woods public land as well as his own property of less than 10 acres. We begin by understanding a little bit about his property and how he evaluates the qualities and setbacks of a micro-tract. Phil explains how it’s important to “work with the grain” rather than against it – meaning take the qualities of the property and use them to your advantage. The core of his principles mirror strategy on public land, but reducing the scale accordingly. He also shares the importance of strategic stand location and access to allow the perception of zero hunting pressure. There must be a balance of attraction and “huntability” – all the attraction in the world will not yield the results desired if the local herd is spooked every time you step foot on the property. Whether you have a small property, or you’re pounding public ground, anyone can take away strategy from this episode!

‍

Sooner or later, every deer hunter wants to find a way to share the experiences they have in the field with others. Some will just tell stories, some will write about it, some will take photos, and a few will tackle filming their hunts. Filming hunts requires a whole new level of dedication and skill and can be extremely rewarding, or extremely frustrating.

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer podcast, Josh catches up with Jared Mills of Midwest Whitetail to talk about filming hunts. Jared has been filming hunts for over a decade, often times self filming, and is recognized as one of the best in the industry. While Jared loves to hunt big deer, he is just as passionate about about telling the story through the highest quality video possible. Throughout the conversation, Jared shares tips on equipment, setup, and lots of Video 101. Whether you simply want to share your hunting experiences with family and friends or want broadcast quality footage, there’s something in this episode for you!

We've got a heck of a turkey conversation this week on the Southern Ground Hunting podcast! Adam Crews takes some time to share with us the story of his public land gobbler from opening weekend in the Florida swamps, and Matt Reaves shares his opening week successful father/son hunt in Alabama. They guys discuss some in depth tactics that went into the success.

As the episode closes, the crew gives a challenge to turkey hunters everywhere. Stop being jealous! There's no room for that in turkey hunting whatsoever. Sure, we can be competitive. It's a driving factor for men to enjoy the challenge. However, jealousy will kill your hunt and leave you in a bad state of mind. Go out and just enjoy the hunt. It's not about pulling the trigger and never should be, so take advantage of the opportunity that God has given you to enjoy creation up close.

On this episode of The Western Rookie Dan shares information about all of his hunting equipment. From boots to optics this episode covers it all. Dan has been using a variety of hunting gear over the past 20 years in the woods. He has hunted everything from frogs to moose and has honed in on the right gear for each job along the way. He loves to share information and gear recommendations with his followers and listeners to help them be better equipped to face any hunting situation. He gets questions often about his gear of choice and this episode breaks it all down. Dan shares details about his equipment and the different situations that he uses each piece in. You can find more about his gear in the link in his social media bios as well as on his GoWild account.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles deer hunting podcast, Dan recaps his recent vasectomy and talks about early November and the pre-rut timeframe. To kick off the episode Dan takes you step by step through the vasectomy process, where he encountered the pain and what it felt like to have his newly cut scrotum jumped on by two of his children.

While icing down his balls, Dan was looking at all of the deer he has killed over the years. He talks about trends he noticed as to where there deer were spending most of their time during that pre-rut timeframe, and that just because it's November doesn't mean that it's the run. Dan feels that many apply rut hunting tactics during the pre-rut period and that may result in additional pressure to the deer population. This is a really good episode, especially if you ware interested in getting a vasectomy.

When a guy stops by your booth at a trade show and asks if you like big buck stories, you have to assume he has a few. That's exactly what happened with Andrew Mack a few weeks ago, and he did not disappoint. This week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, John and Andrew have a good ol fashion storytelling conversation. Andrew starts things off with a western Oklahoma spot and stalk rifle hunt from 2021 where he calls in a nice heavy horned buck.

John and Andrew jump down a few rabbit holes between stories also. Andrew talks about calling deer and how he feels you almost can't over call. They talk about how Kansas genetics got into southeast Oklahoma deer. They also talk about one of Oklahomas controlled traditional archery hunts, and how it is even more challenging that it appears. Within that discussion they get into buck to doe ratios and the list goes on. All in all this is an episode that has a little bit for everyone.

‍

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast the guys drive over to the St. Louis area and sit down with Cameron Tinker of Midwest Gun Works to talk about the basics of an AR build. For a lot of normal people, building an AR is an intimidating thing, but if you know some key things it can actually be a very fun process and get you an AR that is truly what you are looking for as opposed to buying a stock AR that may not be the best fit for your needs. Cameron goes through most of the things the average person needs to know when they are thinking about building an AR. From things like barrels, barrel lengths, triggers, uppers, lowers, handguards, stocks; you name it and Cameron talks about it. After discussing AR builds, Cameron and the guys get into suppressors. We discuss things like the stigma suppressors have had over time, the benefits of them, and the process of how to purchase a suppressor. Today's show is packed full of great information. Thanks to Midwest Gun Works for their hospitality for us guys and some great information for our listeners.

In this episode, Jon Teater of Whitetail Landscapes discusses with Steve Sherk of Sherk’s Guide Service the process of finding big buck sheds. Jon discusses his recent shed find folly. Steve and Jon discuss how to hunt sheds, versus just find sheds, especially in the big woods.  

Shed hunting can be just as rewarding for some hunters and targeting a specific buck and their sheds can lead to excellent data for the following year. Steve discusses mistakes that shed hunters make and Jon identifies specific habitat features that support winter preferences to help attract deer to the areas we can hunt. Jon explains how a client has gone from no sheds to over a dozen based on the strategies that he employs on his property.

Steve discusses timing of antler casting and how the winter can dictate a good or bad shed season. Jon explains why deer drop their antlers. Unexpectedly, Steve explains that tough winters lead to better shed hunting. Listen in to all the shed tips and tricks Steve and Jon use to be successful. Steve and Jon end with a future saga and give insight into upcoming podcasts where Steve will be breaking down his target deer for next year.

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick contacted Dr. Jonathan Reisman, an ER doctor, physicians writer, and author of the recent book, The Unseen Body. Jon shares his unique perspective on the connection between food and anatomy that began on the first day of medical school, in a cadaver lab. Together Nick and Jon talk about the inspection of animals in a kosher slaughterhouse, why are lungs illegal to sell and serve in the US, Jon’s Anatomy Eats dinners where he makes connections from what's on the plate to the living organ inside ourselves, and how Nick and Jon share a questionable practice at acquiring protein. To unpack all this, stay tuned to this episode of Huntavore.

Nick happened to switch over to public radio on his way home one evening where he came across an interview with Jonathan Reisman, a physician who is also the author of the recent book, The Unseen Body. In addition, Jonathan during his first year in medical school, became interested in food through his anatomy courses. In fact he had a professor that would make correlations between specific muscles of human anatomy that would match specific cuts butchered from an animal. His studies lead Jonathan on a search to discover dishes made of organs and parts of the body that function to keep us alive. In his search, one method other than visiting slaughterhouses was to take up hunting himself. Like a lot of people who didn't grow up around hunting, he had a steep learning curve to become successful. He also shared that he would pick up roadkill for his other hobbies or bow making and tanning hides, and happened across a very fresh kill and seized the opportunity to harvest some meat (I tip my buzzard hat to you, sir). Nick was interested in Jonathan’s time in the Kosher slaughterhouse with the shochets or essentially the Jewish meat inspectors that qualify meat to be “clean”. One of their processes was to inspect the lungs for scars from pneumonia. This inspection opens up some practices we as hunters can take, as we are field dressing, using that opportunity to not only be the first to witness the opening of a wild animal, but to even examine the health and life of the animal by inspecting the organs.

This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman Podcast we introduce our new co-host, Robby Henne. We start by catching up with Robby and discussing his 2021 deer season where he harvested his first buck with a bow and a coyote! Following the introduction, Mitch has a conversation with Bill Thompson of Spartan Forge. Bill was a military intel officer for 21 years, and now is using this military artificial intelligence knowledge to help people track down mature bucks.

If you have never heard of the Spartan Forge app, you’ll enjoy the background information Bill shares leading to how this product is utilized in field. It is difficult to go into the deer woods during this day in age without some type of technology guiding us. Utilizing GPS for direction and point marking, journaling, etc. are all pieces of the puzzle towards success. Spartan Forge aims to help with those things while also providing a Whitetail movement prediction model with tons of GPS collar data that support this algorithm.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan is joined by his bowhunting brother Bob Polanic for a BS Session about all things deer hunting. The guys jump in to their post season scouting activities, the importance of post season trail camera data and how that helped them make a decision to pay more attention to the 10th to 20th timeframe in November. Then the guys get in to the details about their out of state hunting schedules and how they balance their hunts with work and family. Another great BS Session from two guys who love bowhunting!

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer podcast, Josh talks with Alabama big buck killing machine Michael Perry. Michael has had great success killing above average deer on heavily pressured public land in unforgiving terrain. Just last season he was fortunate enough to connect on the current Alabama muzzleloader record, a 195 6/8” bruiser. To what does Michael owe his success? Scouting, scouting, and scouting.

Michael’s approach to using maps to scout for whitetails is quite different than many others today. Rather than starting with a map and picking likely whitetail hotspots, Michael picks hard to reach sections of his favorite public spots and puts boots on the ground. Once he finds promising sign, then the maps come out as he begins to ask, Why is that deer here? While this may sound more like an old school approach to using mapping apps, Michael’s success shows it can hold its own as a tried and true method.

This week's episode of the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast takes us to Osceola country in Florida. Parker travelled down to meet up with Jaryd, Casey & Austin for a public land Osceola hunt. We talk through the different scenarios that we've come across with these gobblers in the Sunshine state and ultimately what led to Parker tagging out in the first 3 days of the Florida season.

Each situation called for a different set of tactics, but it all comes down to making decisions based on the temperature of the specific gobbler. We hope that each of these hunt stories helps you out by giving you a reference point should you ever find yourself in a similar scenario.

On today's Episode I have Rendell Erik on again as a guest. Today's discussion is focused on post season scouting. He's got a goal of hitting the 300 mile mark this season, and at the time this episode drops, he's already pretty close to if not over 100. Instead of spending large amounts of time on ultra vast landscapes, Rendell Erik casts a net over dozens of smaller properties to keep tabs on. In this podcast, we discuss what he looks for, how he stays efficient, how he qualifies a public property that's worth coming back to, and how he's thinking about the overall fall plan during the process. The episode starts off with recent intel gathered on a river bottom property; however, specific examples are given in multiple terrain types along with how successful hunts and observations relate to learning the land in the off season.

This week on the podcast, Marcus sits down with Jared Souza. Jared is the co-founder of 2% Certified Turkey Track Outfitters. The guys talk about all things involved with running a guiding service including a crazy story from one of Jared's trips. While running an outfitter can be an extremely difficult task, Jared and his team pride themselves on giving their guests a comfortable, at home experience while hunting a unit that's typically a once in a lifetime draw. Growing up on various ranches in the west, Jared learned the value of giving back and keeping our wild places pristine for future generations of outdoor enthusiasts. When Jared's not guiding, he's spending his time giving back to local conservation organizations and working with 4H groups teaching youth shooting classes. If you have some preference points built up and are looking for a great experience, be sure and give Turkey Track Outfitters a call!

Get your tennis shoes and sweat towels ready! The guys take some time to sit down with Jeremy from Fit-to-Hunt to discuss fitness for hunting and overall life. Jeremy’s company specializes in getting you ready for your next hunt whether it’s for Elk, deer, turkeys, you name it.  

The guys spent some time down at the Open season show getting geared up for the seasons ahead. Paul’s reconstructing his house, and Andrew is keeping his head above water in the real world. Trying to find time to enjoy the breaks in the spring weather. Hope you are able to get out and enjoy time looking for sheds, scouting for game, and enjoying the spring weather!

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan talks with the former CEO of the Quality Deer Management Association, now the National Deer Association. Brian talks about the birth of the QDMA and the struggles he faced while growing the conservation organization. He discusses how QDMA slowly started to gain traction and their membership started to grow throughout the years. One of the struggles that Brian had to deal with was the lack of interest from Hunting Celebrities, Social Media Influencers, and even companies within the hunting space when asked to participate in conservation events or simply use their platform to spread their message. Now on the other side of the isle, Brian is working with HuntStand as their Director of Conservation and their conservation partners like Delta Waterfowl and National Wild Turkey Federation. This is an awesome conversation about the past, present, and future of conservation. Enjoy!

In this podcast Rocky Burrus from SA Farms Management Service, based in Tennessee, discusses his top three hunting property flaws that he sees on client properties. Rocky discusses the box blinds he is using on client properties and why they are essential to success. Rocky dives into his process and how he evaluates access, cover and food on the landscape. Jon Teater, WhitetailLandscapes, discusses some of his concepts that support Rocky’s recommendations. Rocky gets deep into design ideas that will help you improve your hunting property.

Rocky lays out specifics on how to fix each of these flaws and provides specific examples that can support better layout for hunting on your property. Rocky provides details and tactics of how he manipulates the landscape, so deer use food plots and are undisturbed by human presence. Rocky’s design concepts create more daylight usage in food plots creating more success for him and his clients.  Rocky ends with an access concept that will help anyone that has tough hunting scenarios triumph.

Declining turkey populations across much of the U.S. have caused many to sound the alarm. Thankfully, turkey populations in the state of Wisconsin are still very strong. But how can we keep them that way? Is there anything we can do now to avoid seeing the decline other states have experienced?

In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman podcast, Josh talks with Dr. Grant Woods of Growing Deer about the causes of turkey population decline and how land managers can help right the ship. Grant is a biologist with decades of experience managing land to create healthy habitat for deer, turkeys, and other critters. Grant’s southern Missouri property, dubbed the Proving Grounds, had very few turkeys on it when he purchased it. Today, the place is an absolute turkey Mecca. Intensive habitat management and predator population control have played a huge role in Grant’s success.

During the conversation, Josh and Grant discuss predator population control, forestry practices, modern farming practices, and all sorts of other things that impact turkey populations and specifically poult survival. If you’re passionate about wild turkeys and want to see them thrive, then tune into this episode for a little Turkey Management 101 with Dr. Grant Woods.

On this episode of the Oklahoma Outdoors podcast, John takes the microphone all to himself to tell stories and update listeners on some exciting news he got this week. Over the weekend, John fulfilled a bucket list adventure at the Blue River public fishing and hunting area managed by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. Not only did he catch his first Oklahoma trout, but also managed to make a giant fool of himself, and get distracted by some deer sign along the way.

After wrapping up the story of his fishing adventure, John shares two big deliveries that showed up at the ranch this week. One of them is going to make his upcoming deer seasons much more comfortable, and the other is an old friend that is going to help take his habitat work to the next level! John goes into detail about some exciting habitat work he has planned in the upcoming weeks, and how he now hopes to get more work done than he could have ever dreamed of.

With spring approaching we have new ways of shaking cabin fever out! This week’s episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman we chat with John Kolb. John is the founder of the Suffering Outdoors YouTube channel which showcases outdoor adventures in the Northeast, especially around his home in northern Pennsylvania. Even though John is a diehard whitetail hunter and can often be found wandering in large tracts of public land, he still enjoys spending this time of year fly fishing.  

Opening day of trout season in Pennsylvania is nearly a state holiday itself with thousands of anglers lining the recently stocked creek edges. However, the length of streams stocked is a fraction to the 80,000+ miles of streams throughout the Keystone State. There is more opportunity to catch native trout then most would think. John enjoys the challenge of tying his own flies and casting his fly rod into pools that are sometimes smaller than a half ton pickup truck. Everything about this type of fishing is a challenge – sometimes hiking long distances, wary fish, narrow windows to maneuver a fly rod, and John adds an additional element with a camera! Make sure you tune into some of John’s fly-fishing videos that you will find informational and entertaining. While you are at it, you just might find yourself scrolling through the reels of deer hunting videos.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan talks with Byron Horton about how e-scouting and having a cool wife can both lead to more time in the woods hunting and scouting. The guys kick off the episode by talking about the rollercoaster of life and how adding more kids to the family typically means less time hunting, unless you have a cool wife. The cooler your wife is, the more time you will be spending in the tree stand. Fun conversation!

Then, after a ton of BS, Dan and Byron get in to a detailed discussion about e-scouting and what they both look for in a potential hunting setup. The impact of different types of satellite imagery, contour lines, vegetation, and validating your e-scouting by putting boots on the ground are all topics of discussion in this episode. Listen closely and you walk away rom this episode with a ton of great episode. Enjoy!

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer podcast, Josh talks with K.C. Smith about how K.C. uses maps to scout for deer in the more open terrain west of the Mississippi. Map scouting can be a challenge in more open regions. As K.C. explains in this episode, areas often provide better cover and forage than what it appears to provide on the map. This means relating boots-on-the-ground scouting to map scouting is extremely vital.

K.C. is often working with unfamiliar territory and limited time. This means he needs to maximize his use of maps to find deer fast. Using Nebraska as a case study, K.C. breaks down his map scouting process from conception to kill. The guys also cover lots of other topics like finding quality food sources, picking the right glassing point, and how deer relate to terrain in more open territory. Tune and hone your map scouting skills from a seasoned pro!

Thanks for choosing to listen to the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast. These days, it seems that hunters can not see eye to eye on just about anything. Turkey hunters may be the worst when it comes to arguing about the method of hunting wild turkeys. One guy shoots his TSS loads at 50, while another guy thinks that if the bird doesn't come in to 20 yards then the bird won. You've got people who think decoys are cheating, and others who wouldn't step foot into the woods without one. The arguments are endless. This week we're chatting with Zach Lucas about some of these methods and discussing our outlook on what method is the "right" method. You'll learn quickly that we don't believe there's a right or wrong answer. Zach goes through some of these methods and recaps hunts where he's used each of them to kill the gobbler he was hunting. We're there to kill the bird!

This week on The Average Conservationist Podcast, Marcus welcomes in Brandon Getchel and John Keeley. Brandon and John are employees 1 and 2 from 2% Certified Tierra Distilling Co. The group talks about any and everything related to making and distilling various brandies and whiskey. What started as Brandon experimenting with some distilling equipment in his basement 10 years ago has turned into a full on micro distillery that is just about to open its doors to the public. Brandon and John talk about the journey of finding and remodeling a building during the height of the pandemic and what it means to not let anything stand in the way of your dreams. Along with that, the guys are taking a unique approach to choosing their fruits and grains in order to minimize waste and lessen their footprint with the environment all while giving back to some great local conservation organizations. If you're in the greater Chicagoland area, be on the lookout for them as they plan to open their doors to the public later this spring.

This week, the guys have their longest episode to date. First off we start by talking with Tony from the open season outdoor show. This weekend March 17-20 is the Open Season Outdoor show in Columbus at the Ohio Expo Center. Tony gives a run down of speakers, special guests, vendors and more. Beat that cabin fever and get out to the show!

The main course for this week’s episode is the discussion with Mike Tonkovich and Lindsay Thomas Jr. Mike gives the insight from the Ohio Department of Wildlife and Lindsay gives the perspective from a national level of the current state of whitetail deer around the state and country. The guys cover many topics from harvests numbers, regulations, CWD and more. The CWD talk is a good discussion of different perspectives and thoughts. Bottom line, there is a lot of research still to do.

The guys have just been doing standard Dad stuff. Paul tip toed around Niagara Falls, while Andrew played lumber jack in the yard. Both are gearing up their turkey calls, and pissing their wives off in the process!

On this episode of The Western Rookie Dan talks with long range shooting enthusiast and Gunwerks salesman, Pake Taylor. Pake and Dan discuss all aspects of long range shooting systems.

Pake grew up in eastern Washington on a cattle ranch that gave him the ability to spend a solid chunk of his time outdoors. He started chasing birds and small game the moment his folks kicked him loose with his first BB gun, and the obsession has only grown expennationaly from there! On a regular year Pake will chase animals ranging in sizes from doves up to elk and everything else in between them from northern Washington to Wyoming where he lives. Where there's smoke there is a fire and his fire is deeply rooted into long range shooting and it only seems to grow with every confirmed hit. Gunwerks says they teach some to shoot out well past 1,000 yards but, most importantly that style of shooting leads to making a shot at 800 yards a slam dunk. Pake states, "Joining one of the various shooting leagues (PRS or NRL) is an awesome way to get time beyond a gun in unstable shooting positions while under stress. The best part is that it's an absolute blast to be a part of!" Gunwerks is strongly hunting oriented but has multiple options for crossover rifles for competition rifles and ELR rifles. They have a passion for providing the best materials for their fans and customers to continuously push the envelope for the modern day hunter and shooter!

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan talks with Jake Batic of Indiana about the similarities between muskie fishing and whitetail hunting. Jake kicks off the show talking about why he is obsessed with fishing for the fish of 10,000 casts, the struggles that come catching that elusive fish, and some of the strategies he uses. Jakes talks about ridges, points, transition areas, edge, wind direction, and the importance of food sources... sound familiar? It's funny what we think about while sitting in the tree stand. Keep you mind open while listening to the episode. Enjoy!

To finish our coyote series on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast, we have Jon Collins with FoxPro on to talk about hunting coyotes during the busiest part of the calling season and how he makes adjustments. Jon gets into how he changes the way he sets up and his calling strategies as he gets into more educated and pressured coyotes as the winter months move on and more and more hunters have been after coyotes than any other time of the year. We also talk about Jon's favorite rifle calibers and rounds he uses for hunting coyotes. Go check out Jon's stuff on FoxPro at the link below and thanks for listening!

In this podcast Tim Russell from Green Fire Forestry & Wildlife Services discusses how to attack and design your forest for deer. Understanding and recognizing the state of our forests and how to approach a forest stand with various tactics allows for an opportunity to meet our goals. One of those goals is increasing a variety of plants providing more forage for deer. Understanding the tree species that survive well in shade, intermediate shade or full sunlight explain much about the site and how trees have coevolved. Considering and establishing strategies to allow certain tree species to dominate our landscape through management and manipulation may allow for more vegetation for wildlife. Also, consider the resources on the landscapes based on the tree species, layout, and the features juxtaposed create options for those designing their hunting properties. As trees reach maturity and eventual die-off, which rarely happens nowadays, few gaps in the canopy occur and considering disturbances on the landscape are paramount to changing management units to allow for improvement in habitat for various species.

Jon Teater, Whitetail Landscapes, and Tim consider the status of the landscape across many properties and what tactics they are using afield to promote both even (one distinct tree age class) and uneven aged stands (several tree age classes) on the properties they are working with. Both contributors discuss how to avoid mistakes of cutting certain trees hurting your landscape and creating more options to maximize value on the property. Evaluating the trees, volume and quality, and recognizing that landowners should do something to achieve goals. The contributors consider the most popular options for forest stands: don’t do anything, forest stand improvement, temporary opening, regeneration cuttings.

Tim and Jon discuss specific examples and techniques for working with oak and aspen stands. How to coppice trees and example layouts that allow landowners the option to help wildlife flourish on the landscape. Tim and Jon evaluate various prescriptions that lead landowners down the path of finding success and in some cases making money all at the same time. Both contributors suggest that keeping the forest stand in a state of production, controlling invasive species, and thinking about how to balance long and short-term financial returns will be a weighted decision on the landowner. The podcast ends with a good example of how to take a prescription and apply it to ensure that you can rehabilitate the property for wildlife, particularly for deer.

Spring is right around the corner, and that means food plot time. This week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, John is joined by Steve, Andy, and Kenton of Plot Dr for an in depth lesson on how to get more out of your food plots. Steve is the owner of TIP Inc out of Wisconsin, a large agriculture company and the parent company of Plot Dr. Andy and Kenton are agronomists that help develop and teach people about the different Plot Dr products. The three take their knowledge of big ag, and shrink it into a more user friendly food plot size.

If you are used to hearing surface level food plot topics like what seed to plant to bring in more deer and when to plant it, this is not what this conversation is about. This podcast takes a deep dive into improving your soil, getting your ph right, when and how to use lime and/or calcium, and how all of this plays a part into a better and healthier deer herd. Steve, Andy, and Kenton work with people every day to improve their soils, crops, and food plots, so put your thinking cap on and listen as they discuss the entire Plot Dr line and how it can help you and your deer.

On this Episode of Huntavore, Nick spontaneously calls up Emrah O of Bowhunting Soul Podcast to chat about trad bows, chasing turkeys, and how to get as much usage out of your harvested bird. Nick has strung up his long bow after a good long while and wanted to get some tuning tips. Trying to not blow our brains with information, Emrah gives some places to start, like brace height, and getting a correct spined arrow. Nick wanted to move into turkey dishes that utilizes underused cuts of the bird, and how plucking your whole bird can help. Emrah adds even more ideas outside of just meat, but using parts in your equipment to chase the next bird. If you want to get the most of your turkey this year, than tune into this episode of Huntavore

Emrah Oruc is the host and creator of Bowhunting Soul. A podcast and youtube channel dedicated to the soul of archery, using traditional equipment. So starting out this episode, Nick quickly jumps into talking about traditional archery. Running an archery unit for his 3rd and 4th graders using compound bows, kids have had their first bite of the archery bug, slinging some arrows. As a bit of a show and tell, Nick strung up his long bow and sent a few shots down range. Emrah reminds everyone that with traditional equipment, as you get more basic, you begin inputting more and more of the archer behind the bow. Not to say that its all trial and error, but my zero’d in setup could be way off for Emrah.  

Nick transitioned into talking turkey. With Wild Turkey seasons opening up soon, hunters are eagerly awaiting the next species to chase. Emrah explains his reasoning for going mobile and using a ghillie suit instead of a popup blind. Going light and fast does increase your chances of getting spotted. Emrah explains that he has gone 0/3 on birds, but with each attempt he got closer and closer to putting the pieces together. Nick is making a bold prediction that Emrah connects on a bird this year.

Now onto using your harvested bird. Emrah talks about actually making fletchings for arrows from the flight feathers, and creating a bone call for your slate from the wing bones. Even if you don't have a plan yet for your bird, Nick does talk about upping your ROI by plucking your bird instead of skinning. The skin can better protect the flesh in the freezer, and what little fat the bird has is under the skin, a natural flavor and moisture improvement. Braising and stewing wings and salvaged necks create amazing stock. Nick took the opportunity to make french onion soup from wings and necks. Overall easily done without much effort. For the drums and thighs, Nick also used his sous vide wand in great application. Adding ⅛ cup of oil or butter, some herbs, salt and pepper and a thigh to a bag and letting it cook at 155F for 36 hours (yes, 36 hours) delivers an amazing tender meat, with all the beautiful turkey flavor, without the dryness folks experience. A quick broil in the oven to brown the skin and serve either whole or shredded. That's another way to capture the beautiful dark meat from your bird.

On this episode of the Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan talks with Jordan Donohoo and Justin Renard from Hunts For Heroes Outfitters about their organization and how their Texas public land hog hunt is going so far.

Hunts for Heroes Outfitters is an organization dedicated to getting service members, first responders and their families involved in outdoor activities. Justin and Jordan have been hosting a public land hog hunt in Texas for several years and a whitetail deer hunt in Kentucky. They plan to expand to several states and species all with the goal of building relationships and growing a community of servicemen and women that love the outdoors. Texas offers a wide variety of hunting and fishing opportunities and holds few restrictions on feral hogs. The estimate of feral hogs in Texas is currently around 2.6 million and Richland Creek WMA offers a season where non-residents can hunt feral hogs for 5 days for under $100. Justin served 10 years in the US Army and Jordan has served in both volunteer and professional capacities doing search and rescue for local departments.

On this week’s episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, we conclude the second half of our interview with Land and Timber Consultant, Steve Chilcote. In part one, Steve shares his background of forestry and land consulting which leads into topics of browse, cover, and invasive species management. In part two, Steve concludes his thoughts on a few more invasive species he typically finds on properties and the necessary measures to correct them. As plant communities transition with removal of invasives, Steve stresses that there needs to be quality plants that fill in the newly created space – otherwise invasives will reinhabit. Typically, the native seed bank has stored seeds for decades that only needed sunlight and reduced competition to flourish.

In some cases, adding conifer trees for improved cover or screening is possible for landscapes that lack this habitat feature. Steve breaks down the how, what, and where of conifer adding and management on some client properties. Lastly, Steve concludes with hunting tips and strategy for private landowners looking to shoot for the stars and harvest the most mature deer in the neighborhood. All the practices and techniques discussed throughout part one and two of this interview are conservation oriented at the core – it’s an added bonus when they allow better hunting opportunity!

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan talks with Jim LaRose of New York about how the tides of bad luck shifted in his favor when shot a 170" whitetail buck. Jim kicks off the episode by breaking down the terrain of the properties he hunts and how he has seen the overall deer population decrease over the last several years. This has led to Jim making a strategy change with him moving his treestands off of the field edges and deeper in to the blocks of timber where the deer bed.

Before the 2021 started Jim had 3 bucks on his hit list that he was going to chase. On opening day one of the bucks was hit by a car, and a couple weeks later he let an arrow go on a buck that that they called in a dog tracker to help recover, but they never did. Feeling down and out, he let the rest of the archery season slip away. But, on opening day of the firearm season he connected on a giant buck that he had 3 years of history... with a pistol!

Excellent episode, enjoy!

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, I catch up with Greg Litzinger to hear what he keys in on when map scouting for deer in the big woods and salt marshes of New Jersey. Greg, aka the Bowhunting Fiend, hunts highly pressured public land in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. All the competition means Greg needs every edge he can get to seal the deal on big bucks. Map scouting is one of the tools Greg uses to get himself away from the hunting pressure and on the deer.

While map scouting is a common tool for big buck killers, everyone has a little different technique and approach depending on their hunting style and the terrain they hunt. For Greg, map scouting is a year round endeavor. During the hunting season, the map serves as a starting point for Greg. He’ll then use it to scout his way in and set up and hunt over freshest sign. In this episode, Greg shares how he uses maps to find the kinds of properties he’s looking for, the specific features that he keys in on, what would make him write a property off, and his top advice to help the average hunter kill more deer.

On this episode of the Hunting Gear Podcast, Dan talks with Mark Olis from Moultrie Mobile about their cellular trail cameras. Mark talks about the history of the Moultrie brand, how the founder of Moultrie Trail Cameras came up with the trail camera idea at a bear camp over a bait pile, and the functionality of the Moultrie Mobile app. Another great episode from a brand that has been a cornerstone of the hunting industry.
