This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch is joined by some family for a bear hunting conversation.  The family guests are his younger cousins Jacob, Josh, and Isaac Mengel, who've recently begun a journey of starting their own bear hunt tradition at their cabin in northern PA.  Previously their camp did not have a consistent tradition of hosting a bear hunt, and the times it did turned into solo endeavors.  For the last four hunting seasons, they have started their mission to learn how to bear hunt their historic hunting grounds, and how to do it with a group.  The guys share their experiences of how they got started, the obstacles along the way, the mess ups, and the successes, including Isaac's first bear harvested from a drive with only five people!  This conversation sheds light on perspective from new bear hunters and how they overcame the intimidation factor of hunting a new species in a tough environment.

On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce is flying solo with tons of updates and announcements regarding upcoming events, public land battles you might not have heard about yet, and what his e-scouting process has looked like so far this year. We've all heard about the ongoing fight to oppose the sale of public lands in the budget reconciliation bill, but a few conservation battles are being fought without as much attention: blocking the deconstruction of the lower four dams on the Columbia River Basin, and a push to maintain the Rodman Dam in Florida to protect a trophy bass fishery. On top of that, the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund is on the chopping block here in Wisconsin, which will be covered much more in-depth in the coming weeks. Lastly, as everyone's minds shift towards deer season, it's time to find that next honey hole for November, and Pierce shares some of his thoughts and ideas for finding big bucks using the onX Hunt app. We've got a little bit of everything this week, so buckle up, and enjoy!

Image stabilizing binoculars have become more prominent in the hunting space as a result of the Sig Sauer Zulu 6 line of binos entrance into the market a few years ago. In today's episode, Jacob shares the results of his evaluation of the Sig Sauer Zulu 6 image stabilizing binoculars as compared to the Canon IS3 image stabilizing binoculars. Is there value in a non hunting brand like the Canon IS3? How do these 2 models compare beyond the price tag? How do the stabilization features compare? Waterproofing? Weight? Field of view? Eye relief? Exit pupil? Battery life? Warranty? And, of course, image quality? Jacob will share his thoughts on these features and more on today's episode. Thanks for listening!

Greg shares how his time in the military taught him the resilience and adaptability that would later become vital in both hunting and business. From bonding over turkey hunts with family to taking risks in entrepreneurship, Greg’s journey is a powerful reminder that the path to success is never linear — it’s earned through perseverance, planning, and staying grounded in your core values.

On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce sits down with Wisconsin BHA Chapter Chair, Alec Bekkers, to talk all things public lands and public land policy! By now, I'm sure you've seen countless posts highlighting the importance of stopping the sale of public lands, and for good reason. But some of you might still be asking, "why?" Alec is here to answer that question and dives into the importance of holding on to our public lands to be used or leased for generations to come, which will in turn generate revenue for the government for years to come unlike a one time sale that only brings in payment once. The guys dive into how nuanced the issue of public lands is, and why talking about the multiple uses of public land are incredibly important for various groups. After that, the guys touch on some spring hearing questions, the use of cell cams to check traps, and upcoming events to be on the lookout for!

The purpose of a single bevel blade on a broadhead is to twist as it penetrates as opposed to creating a flat cut plane like a double bevel blade does. As a result, you have a wound channel that doesn't close or re-seal easily, which hopefully translates into better blood trails and better recoveries. In today's episode, Jacob shares the results of his evaluation of 2 different single bevel broadheads. Jacob shot the Iron Will 125 and the Toulou 125 through ballistic gel and each through a mature whitetail shoulder blade. He examined the twist rate of each broadhead and penetration. The results of  the evaluation were compelling and worth sharing. Thanks for listening!
