Since John was unsuccessful, he is preparing for his favorite time of the year which is late season whitetail hunting.

There was one big kink in his hunt plans, but after ironing out a few details the hunt is still on and John can't wait. This will be Johns first ever guided hunt, and he is excited for the experience and the opportunity to chase a new critter in wild country.

Each listener that keeps hounds and loves the outdoors will enjoy this podcast. The conversation will paint the picture of two friends, two hounds, a coon dog and a pup, in an amazing autumn setting that can only be experienced in depth by doing as Steve has done, by getting in the truck and putting nearly 1000 miles on the odometer before the hounds are released into the mountain air on an incredible opening night.

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch is flying solo by the seat of his pants.  With the holidays and hunting season, it's hard to get much of anything planned this time of year!  On the road home from opening weekend of deer camp, Mitch recaps the past 10 days of hunting season.  This includes a successful northwoods bear camp where the gang harvested 3 bears on the first 3 drives of opening day.  Mitch delves into the backstory of why he believes this hunt was so successful, as the hunt Captain and good friend Clayton Good did an excellent job of scouting and strategically placing standers.

Next he dives into the opening weekend of deer season at his camp in north central PA.  With little scouting preparation going into this weekend, there needed to be a few cards in his favor for things to line up.  Spoiler alert - the cards were subpar at best.  Mitch discusses why the area he chose to sit on opening day was good, however it missed the spot by about 100 yards.  Still hunting with a gun was also on Mitch's mind to level his odds and cover ground, but with snow and rain followed by temps in the teens, the snow became so crunchy it was nearly impossible to still hunt successfully.  Moral of the story: there is plenty of season left, keep grinding, and be patient.

John has done a lot of hunting this year, but it's been different than in the past. With November coming to a close, John really hasn't spent much time hunting his own properties. He has only hunted his family ranch a handful of times, and with the warmer than usual temperatures, those hunts have not been very productive.

There is still a lot of season left, and John is ready to buckle down and get serious now.

On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate Rozeveld and Bryan Meyering once again sit down and discuss an awesome buck Bryan shot down in Ohio. Bryan has been hunting out of state in Ohio for the last 4 years and finally connected on his first out of state buck. Going out of state with friends and trying to hunt in a landscape unfamiliar to their home state of Michigan always comes with challenges. Staying persistent and really learning how deer use a particular landscape helped Bryan find success down in Ohio.

It took 3 previous years of scouting more than hunting and not settling for the lack of deer activity for Bryan to find this particular set up. It had a few factors that keyed him onto this area and warranted him to throw a sit or 2 at it. Even with the spot being really close to a road he still felt like it was a good play for the 1st sit of his trip. Shortly into his rutcation Bryan connected on his 1st out of state buck!

Rounding out the episode Bryan and Nate recap their season in Michigan. Both guys have had some really good bucks killed by neighbors, cars, or family members. They are both attempting to locate and find other potential shooters and are not sleeping on the month of December to potentially have some good opportunities!

This episode drops on the Monday before Thanksgiving.  Steve extolls the joys of one of his favorite times of year as the episode opens.  Thanksgiving could well be called the hunter’s holiday since so much hunting activity routinely takes place on and around the traditional holiday.

Fellow podcast content creator Clayton Stark’s post on social media forms the basis for reflections by many members of the hound hunting community as they recall special memories.  Moreso than any other, Thanksgiving is a holiday for families; sumptuous meals, football games, recounts of family adventures combine to make the most, for some, enjoyable holiday of the year.

A phone call with Steve’s hunting buddy and frequent traveling companion Arnold “Nubbin” Moore rounds out the conversation as they discuss the upcoming annual trip to Arkansas and the White River National Wildlife Refuge.

With this episode, Steve and Ella, as well as the crews at Double U Hunting Supply, Alpha Dog Nutrition and Zepp Predator Calls, send a collective “Happy Thanksgiving to one and all!”

On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate is solo once again recapping the last 2 weeks of his season. These 2 weeks included opening day of Michigan's firearm season and his trip out to Kansas. Opening day of Michigan's rifle season is something that Nate and his son Henry have been enjoying for many years. Especially now that Henry has his own tag in his pocket and has been finding his own success the last 2 falls. This year Henry had a doe tag in his pocket and was able to fill that tag on a beautiful doe. Once again making memories to last a lifetime. 

After Henry's tag was punched the next priority was Kansas for Nate. That included leaving the house at 2am and heading west. Kansas was the adventure that Nate looks forward to every fall when he travels out of state chasing whitetails. Through the episode Nate breaks down his thoughts and how the trip played out for him, including all the mistakes and success he faced. Nate breaks down every day of hunting and scouting along with every encounter he had on this trip. Kansas was unlike any other place he has hunted with a wide variety of diversity and difficult terrain. 

Overall opening day of rifle was a huge success and so was the trip to Kansas for Nate. These are the moments that guys work so hard for and they go by so quickly every fall. The season isn't over yet and Nates got 3 buck tags he is still looking to fill!
